This invention belongs to pharmaceutical technology field, relates to a partially coated controlled-release solid preparation.
With regard to sustained-release and controlled-release solid preparation, it's common to adopt the method that active medicine is coated with sustained-release and/or controlled-release material. However, this method sometimes cannot achieve the expected medicine release effect. For example, it's difficult to realize in prior art that multi medicine's active ingredients can release in different speed at the preconceived time point. The ideal medicine release method should be that, different release behaviors are obtained by pulse type drug delivery, especially in the way of exponential release from slow to fast. Current preparations cannot achieve this effect. Therefore, it's required to change structure of preparation to achieve the purpose of controlling the release behavior.
Goal of this invention is to provide a new-structural controlled-release solid preparation, which makes medicine's active ingredients can release in pulse pattern in different speed at the preconceived time point, so as to achieve ideal controlled release effect. This invention designs a new structural solid medicine preparation, and technical solution is as follows:
A controlled-release solid preparation, consists of inner core and coating layer, said inner core contains active medicine and adjuvant, said coating layer contains coating material and, said coating layer contains or does not contain active ingredients, characterized in that, partial surface of said inner core is not coated by coating layer, and is exposed to surface of solid preparation.
That is, coating layer of preparation of this invention does not completely coat said inner core, and part of said inner core surface is exposed to surface of solid preparation.
In solution of this invention, since part of medicine inner core is exposed, it's convenient to control medicine release of inner core through this part.
Said exposed part, its position, area and shape is unlimited; in practical application, it's available to design different shapes of each preparation, based on release requirement of specific active ingredient of preparation and in view of being convenient for preparation production.
Said inner core is one layer or multi-layers, and said layer is one layer of or layers of sustained release layer, or meantime contains rapid release layer and sustained release layer.
When inner core is two or more layers, components of different layers release in sequence: outermost layer releases first, then the secondary outer layer releases, at last component of innermost layer of inner core releases. Through this pattern, it's available to control release sequence and release timing of different medicine.
Material of said sustained release layer is selected from one or several of the groups consisting of sodium alginate, methyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, povidone or polyethylene oxide.
Material of said coating layer is water-soluble or water-insoluble; said water-soluble coating material is selected from one or several of the groups consisting of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose; said water-insoluble coating material is selected from one or several of the groups consisting of ethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate polymer, acrylic resin.
Material of said coating layer can also contains water-soluble pore-forming agent, which is selected from one or several of the groups consisting of povidone, lactose, sodium chloride.
When above solid preparation is tablet, its inner core is tablet core consisting of one layer or more than one layer of tablet. Part of one bottom surface (can also be regarded as the top surface) is exposed without coating material coated (see also
The other solution of this invention is that, there is another coating layer on the outer surface of said coating layer, said coating layer contains or does not contain active ingredients.
Another solution of this invention is that, said coating layer is prepared by compression coating method.
Components of said inner core and coating layer also include pharmaceutic adjuvants, which is selected from conventional pharmaceutical preparations, such as, filler, disintegrating agent, lubricant, flow aid, etc. It's available to select according to requirements of this field technology. For example, filler is selected from one or several of the groups consisting of lactose, Pregelatinized Starch or microcrystalline cellulose; disintegrating agent is selected from one or several of the groups consisting of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, cross-linked sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl starch or Crospovidonum; lubricant is selected from one or several of the groups consisting of stearic acid, magnesium stearate or talcum powder; flow aid is micro powder silica gel, etc.
When solid preparation of this invention is tablet, tablet pressing is performed in tablet press machine by using two different model number of punch pin, with following steps:
1) Mix all the components for preparing tablet core, and the first pressing is performed by using model number I punch pin to obtain tablet core;
2) model number II punch pin is used to replace model number I punch pin and, after mix all the components for preparing tablet coating layer, fill in middle module;
3) filling the tablet core prepared in step 1) in the center of middle module and performing the second pressing, and the solid preparation is obtained;
Diameter of said model number I punch pin is less than that of model number II punch pin.
In above method, said step 2) and 3) are as follows: after model number I punch pin is replaced with model number II punch pin, tablet core prepared in step 1) is firstly filled in the center of middle module, and then the uniformly mixed coating layer components are filled around tablet core in middle module to perform the second pressing.
This invention has following technical effects:
Because medicine release surface is only in the exposed position, it's available to achieve goal of controlled-release by controlling surface area of the exposed position. Furthermore, since medicine does not release from the unexposed position, the effect of constant-speed release can be achieved.
When inner core is two or more layers, components of different layers release in sequence: outermost layer releases first, then the secondary outer layer releases, at last component of innermost layer of inner core releases. Through this pattern, it's available to control release sequence and release timing of different medicine.
In preparation of this invention, multiple medicine active ingredients are released in different speed at different time point, by controlling amount of active ingredient of each layer in inner core and amount as well as types of sustained release material, and by controlling amount as well as types of active ingredient as well as sustained-release/controlled-release materials of pressed coating layer and amount of active ingredient, so as to realize pulse type drug delivery and to acquire different release behavior, e.g., zero order release, first order release, especially exponential release from slow to fast.
It's demonstrated from above curves that, by adopting preparation method of this invention,
