(154) The content ratio of the carrier(s) depends on the form of formulation. For example, in the case of a capsule, the content ratio of the carrier(s) to the total amount of the capsule is preferably 0.1% to 99.4% by weight, and preferably 0.1% to 98.4% by weight, when the capsule contains a disintegrant.

(162) Of course, these tablets and granules may be coated with sugar, or if needed, other appropriate coatings. Alternatively, when liquid preparations such as syrups and injections are produced, the compounds of the present invention or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are combined with pH adjusting agents, solubilizers, isotonizing agents, or such, and if needed, solubilizing agents, stabilizers, and such, and then formulated.

(163) The dosage of the pharmaceutical formulation according to the present invention can be appropriately selected depending on the severity of symptoms, age, sex, body weight, mode of administration, type of salt, specific type of disease, and the like.

(164) Although the dosage significantly varies depending on the type of disease and severity of symptoms, age, sex, sensitivity to the drug, and such of the patient, the formulation is usually administered to an adult once or several times a day at a daily dosage of about 0.03 to 1000 mg, preferably 0.1 to 500 mg, and more preferably 0.1 to 100 mg.

(165) Methods for Manufacturing Pharmaceutical Formulations

(166) The methods for manufacturing pharmaceutical formulations according to the present invention comprise the steps of:

(167) providing a mixture comprising an alkyl sulfate salt and the above compound applied to the present invention;

(168) granulating the mixture without adding water to the mixture, or by adding an amount of purified water to the mixture at 25% by weight or less to a total amount of the mixture; and providing a dry powder by drying the granulated mixture.

(169) The compound applied to the present invention is preferably prepared as particles in advance, and then subjected to mixing.

(170) Particles of the compound can be prepared by a conventional method. For example, they can be obtained by high pressure spray grinding such as jet milling.

(171) In the step of providing a mixture, the mixture comprising an alkyl sulfate salt and the compound applied to the present invention is more preferably obtained by placing components of the alkyl sulfate salt and the compound applied to the present invention, and as necessary, the above-mentioned ingredients commonly used as materials for pharmaceuticals, into a known mixer granulator or the like, and mixing them.

(172) The mixing temperature and the mixing time are not particularly limited as long as the ingredients are not adversely affected, and are preferably, for example, 0° C. to 50° C. and about 5 to 15 minutes.

(173) In the step of granulating a mixture, one can use methods of granulating the mixture without adding water to the mixture, or methods of granulating the mixture by adding an amount of purified water to the mixture at 25% by weight or less to the total amount of the mixture.

(174) Examples of the methods of granulating the mixture without adding water include dry granulation. Dry granulation is a method by which the mixture is granulated by applying high stress (pressure) without adding water. Representative examples of dry granulation include the granulation method by compression molding of a mixed powder using a roller compactor. The compression molding pressure in this case is preferably 5 kN/cm to 9 kN/cm, and more preferably 6 kN/cm to 8 kN/cm.

(175) Examples of the methods of granulating the mixture by adding water include wet granulation. Wet granulation is a method by which purified water is added to the mixture preferably with stirring to granulate the mixture.

(176) Purified water is added at a content ratio of 25% by weight or less, preferably 15% to 25% by weight, more preferably 18% to 23% by weight, and still more preferably 20% to 22% by weight to the total amount of the mixture.

(177) The stress applied during granulation by a granulation method varies depending on the conditions (for example, in the case of stirring granulation, the stress is higher as the rotational speed of the blade is increased; and the stress varies depending on the instrument). As commonly known, the amount of water required is larger as the stress is higher, and it is smaller as the stress is lower. Therefore, there is no limitation on the amount of water.

(178) The temperature and the time of the granulation step vary depending on the stirring conditions, and are within a range where the ingredients are not adversely affected. They are not particularly limited, and are preferably, for example, 0° C. to 50° C. and about 3 to 5 minutes.

(179) In the step of providing a dry powder, the mixture obtained by granulation can be dried according to a conventional method such as vacuum drying to provide a dry powder.

(180) The drying temperature and the drying time are not particularly limited as long as the ingredients are not adversely affected, and are preferably, for example, 50° C. to 80° C. and about 30 minutes to 2 hours.

(181) The methods for manufacturing a pharmaceutical formulation according to the present invention may further comprise the steps of:

(182) providing a particle size-granulated powder by subjecting the dry powder to particle size granulation;

(183) providing a compounded powder by mixing the particle size-granulated powder and an additive comprising magnesium stearate; and

(184) preparing the pharmaceutical formulation in the form of a tablet by tableting the compounded powder.

(185) In the step of providing a particle size-granulated powder by subjecting the dry powder to particle size granulation, the particle size granulation methods are not particularly limited, and conventional methods using a sieve, a sieving machine, or the like can be used.

(186) The particle size-granulated powder can be mixed with a further additive such as magnesium stearate, talc, or stearic acid as necessary, to obtain a compounded powder.

(187) The mixing temperature and the mixing time are not particularly limited as long as the ingredients are not adversely affected, and are preferably, for example, 0° C. to 50° C. and about 3 to 5 minutes.

(188) The compounded powder can be filled into a capsule shell to provide a capsule.

(189) Further, the compounded powder can be tableted by a conventional method to provide a tablet.

(190) All prior art documents cited herein are incorporated into this specification by reference.

(204) (Manufacture of Pharmaceutical Formulations)

(205) The ingredients listed in Table 1 (excluding magnesium stearate) were put in a mortar and premixed. To this mixture was added 20% by weight (relative to the mixture) of purified water and the mixture was stirred, granulated, and then dried to provide dry powder.

(206) The dry powder was subjected to particle size granulation by a sieve, and the size-granulated powder was mixed with magnesium stearate in the mortar to provide a compounded powder.

(207) The compounded powder was filled into a capsule shell to manufacture a capsule.

(Evaluation of Formulations)

(209) The disintegration properties of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5 in a dissolution tester were visually observed using Dissolution Test Solution 1 of the Japanese Pharmacopoeia. The results are shown in Table 2 . Dissolution properties of formulations (such as capsules and tablets) serve to evaluate absorption properties of pharmaceuticals contained in the formulations. Evaluation of disintegration properties is brief evaluation of dissolution properties, because the formulations are disintegrated and then dissolved in aqueous solutions.

(Effect of Surfactants)

(211) The surfactants shown in Table 3 and Dissolution Test Solution 1 of the Japanese Pharmacopoeia were used, and the concentration of each surfactant was adjusted to 5%. Compound 1 malate was sufficiently added thereto, the mixture was stirred, and the solubility after 24 hours was measured.

(212) TABLE-US-00003 TABLE 3 Solubility of Surfactant Compound 1 (μg/mL) (None) 18.51 Sodium lauryl sulfate 136.43 Polysorbate 80 138.16 Polyoxyethylene (10) 144.66 octylphenyl ether

(213) Surfactants improve the solubility of Compound 1 . However, polysorbate 80 and polyoxyethylene (10) octylphenyl ether, which improved the solubility of Compound 1 to the same or greater extent than sodium lauryl sulfate, did not improve the disintegration of Compound 1.

(214) Accordingly, it was suggested that improvement of solubility by surfactants does not improve the disintegration properties.

(215) 3 . Confirmation of the Dissolution Properties of Compound 1

(216) The dissolution properties of the disintegrable formulations obtained as above were examined.

(217) As shown in Table 4, capsules containing 1 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg of Compound 1, respectively (hereinafter called “1 mg formulation”, “20 mg formulation”, and the like) were manufactured, and examined by a dissolution test. The ingredients were immediately released from the 1 mg, 5 mg and 10 mg formulations without problems, but the 20 mg formulation showed delayed dissolution.

(218) This is presumably because, although the capsules are disintegrable, the particles of Compound 1 in the 20 mg formulation as dispersed in the test solution are larger than those in the 1 mg, 5 mg, and 10 mg formulations. Specifically, this is because the bonds between the particles in the 20 mg formulation cannot be sufficiently broken due to the high concentration of Compound 1.

(219) Dissolution of the 20 mg formulation was improved by further extragranularly adding microcrystalline cellulose, an excipient, to prevent bonding between the drug substance particles.

(220) (Manufacture of Formulations)

Examples 2 to 4 and Example 6

(221) The ingredients listed in Table 4 (excluding magnesium stearate) were put in a high shear granulator and premixed. To this mixture was added 22% by weight (relative to the mixture) of purified water. The mixture was stirred, granulated, and then vacuum dried to provide a dry powder. The dry powder was subjected to particle size granulation by a sieving machine, and the size-granulated powder was mixed with magnesium stearate in the mixer to provide a compounded powder. The compounded powder was filled into a capsule shell to manufacture a capsule.

(222) The ingredients listed in Table 4 (excluding microcrystalline cellulose (extragranular) and magnesium stearate) were put in a high shear granulator and premixed. To this mixture was added 23% by weight (relative to the mixture) of purified water. The mixture was stirred, granulated, and then vacuum dried to provide a dry powder. The dry powder was subjected to particle size granulation by a sieving machine, and the size-granulated powder was mixed with microcrystalline cellulose (extragranular) and magnesium stearate in the mixer to provide a compounded powder. The compounded powder was filled into a capsule shell to manufacture a capsule.

(224) Examples 2 to 5 and Example 6 were tested by the paddle dissolution test method according to the Japanese Pharmacopoeia at 75 rpm using 900 mL of Dissolution Test Solution 1 of the Japanese Pharmacopoeia containing 1% polyoxyethylene (10) octylphenyl ether as the test solution. The dissolution profiles are shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

(225) FIG. 1 shows that Examples 2, 3, and 4 are encapsulated formulations containing 1 mg, 5 mg, and 10 mg of Compound 1, respectively, and are immediate release formulations. FIG. 2 shows that a 20 mg capsule formulation manufactured in the same manner tends to show decreased dissolution as with Example 6 . An immediate release formulation can be prepared by extragranularly adding microcrystalline cellulose as in Example 5.

(226) 4 . Dissolution Properties and Tableting when the Concentration of Compound 1 is High

(227) Capsules containing a dose of 20 mg or more of a drug substance are usually made by increasing the concentration of the drug substance or increasing the capsule size. However, as shown in Examples 5 and 6, it is difficult to increase the drug substance concentration. Moreover, large capsules are hard to swallow and thus cannot easily be accepted in the market. Therefore, other dosage forms are preferred when developing formulations containing 20 mg or more of a drug substance.

(228) Poor dissolution of high dose capsules is due to poor disintegration of the capsules. Specifically, it is because disintegrants do not work effectively and cannot disintegrate the formulations sufficiently. Typically, disintegrants are classified into wicking disintegrants (causing water infiltration to break the bond between particles) and swelling disintegrants (absorbing water and swelling to break the bond between particles). Since the poor disintegration of Compound 1 is caused by particles adsorbed to each other by water, swelling disintegrants were considered to be highly effective.

(229) However, swelling disintegrants must sufficiently swell to break the bonds between particles. Super disintegrants such as croscarmellose sodium are disintegrants having a swelling rate of more than 200%. The research by the present inventors revealed that it is difficult even for such disintegrants to disintegrate commonly used capsules containing 20 mg or more of Compound 1 per capsule.

(230) The present inventors elucidated that this is due to voids created when powder is filled into a capsule shell. Specifically, this is because swollen disintegrants escape into the voids, allowing the force for breaking the bonds between particles to be spread out.

(231) Accordingly, tableting was attempted to eliminate such voids. As shown below, the use of disintegrants having a high swelling rate and void-eliminating formulation provided excellent disintegration and dissolution properties even for high dose formulations.

Examples 7 and 8 and Reference Examples 1 and 2

(233) The ingredients listed in Table 5 (excluding magnesium stearate) were put in a mortar and premixed. To this mixture was added 20% by weight (relative to the mixture) of purified water. The mixture was stirred, granulated, and then dried to provide a dry powder. The dry powder was subjected to particle size granulation by a sieve, and the size-granulated powder was mixed with magnesium stearate in the mortar to provide a compounded powder. The compounded powder was tableted to prepare a tablet as Example 7 or 8, and the compounded powder was filled into a capsule shell to prepare a capsule as Reference Example 1 or 2.

(237) Further, as disintegrable formulations were provided by tableting as described above, tablets were manufactured by an instrument and their dissolution properties were examined as shown in Examples 9 and 10 below. For convenience, the amount of the compounded powder was increased by 1.25-fold to manufacture tablets containing 50 mg and 100 mg of the principal agent, respectively.

(239) The ingredients listed in Table 7 (excluding magnesium stearate) were put in a high sheargranulator and premixed. To this mixture was added 20% by weight (relative to the mixture) of purified water for Example 9, or 18% by weight of purified water for Example 10. The mixture was stirred, granulated, and then vacuum dried to provide a dry powder. The dry powder was subjected to particle size granulation by a sieving machine, and the size-granulated powder was mixed with magnesium stearate in the mixer to provide a compounded powder. The compounded powder was tableted to prepare a tablet as Example 9 or 10.

(241) Examples 9 and 10 were tested by the paddle dissolution test method according to the Japanese Pharmacopoeia at 75 rpm using 900 mL of Dissolution Test Solution 1 of the Japanese Pharmacopoeia containing 1% polyoxyethylene (10) octylphenyl ether as the test solution. The dissolution profiles are shown in FIG. 3.

(242) 5. Evaluation of Combining SLS and Super Disintegrants for Compound 1

(243) The following Comparative Examples also suggest that the combination of SLS with a super disintegrant is extremely suitable.

(244) Examples 7, 8, 9, and 10 revealed that, when SLS is used, even high dose formulations containing 50 mg to 100 mg of Compound 1 become disintegrable by being tableted. On the other hand, as shown following Comparative Examples 6 and 7, formulations tableted using other surfactants instead of SLS were not disintegrated within 60 minutes even in the presence of a super disintegrant and even when the content of Compound 1 was as low as 20 mg. This shows that not only the addition of SLS but also the combination of SLS and a super disintegrant is advantageous for pharmaceutical formulations containing Compound 1.

6. Manufacturing Method

(251) In formulating poorly soluble Compound 1, improvement of the dissolution properties was attempted by optimizing the granulation method, but the formulation was not disintegrated when common granulation was performed. As described above, addition of SLS improved the disintegration properties of the formulation.

(257) As is clear from the above results, the preferred amount of purified water is 25% by weight or less relative to the mixture.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY

(258) The pharmaceutical formulations according to the present invention are extremely useful as pharmaceutical formulations, because they comprise an alkyl sulfate salt and therefore have excellent dissolution properties without causing gelation of the compound particles.
