【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、食品、医薬品、飼料等の分野における製剤用添加剤に関し、さらに詳しくはトレハロースからなる製剤用添加剤に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
食品、医薬品、飼料等の分野における錠剤、丸剤、顆粒剤、散剤(細粒剤をふくむ)、トローチ剤及び咀嚼剤等の固形製剤や注射剤、懸濁剤、乳剤、エリキシル剤、シロップ剤等の液状製剤の製造には、有効成分とその保存中の性状及び品質の基準を確保し、又はその有用性を高めるため、賦形剤、安定剤、保存剤、緩衝剤などの適当な添加剤が用いられている。添加剤は、前記製剤の投与量において無害でなければならないし、その製剤の治療効果を障害し、又は試験に支障をきたすものであってはならない。
【0003】
従来より、固形製剤には、馬鈴薯澱粉、とうもろこし澱粉等の澱粉類、乳糖、蔗糖、ブドウ糖、マンニトールなどの糖類、リン酸カルシウム、沈降炭酸カルシウムなどの無機塩類など各種の賦形剤が有効成分の希釈の目的で用いられている。また、難溶性薬物の溶解性を高めるための添加剤、例えば固溶体化法及び混合粉砕法で用いる担体として、各種の糖類及びセルロース誘導体並びにポリビニルピロリドン等の高分子物質が用いられている(特開平58−77811号公報等)。
【0004】
他方、錠剤は従来より湿式打錠法(間接打錠法)によって製造されていたが、近年では、製造工程の簡略化、造粒工程の省略化を目的とした直接打錠法が広く利用されている。この直接打錠法は、有効成分と各種の添加剤よりなる混合末が良好な流動性や圧縮成形性を示す必要があり、さらに服用後の良好な崩壊性を得るため適切な直接打錠用賦形剤を用いることが必要である。この、直接打錠用賦形剤としては、古くから微結晶セルロース、リン酸水素カルシウム及びソルビトールが用いられてきた。前記打錠用賦形剤の他には、例えば、キシランとグルコマンナンよりなる打錠用賦形剤(特開昭51−15611号公報)、セルロース粉末とヒドロキシプロピルスターチ粉末の分散液を噴霧乾燥した圧縮成型用賦形剤(特開昭60−97919号公報)、及び水溶性グルカン(特開昭59−130821号公報)等が開示されている。また、直接打錠用の賦形剤として、噴霧乾燥や流動層造粒した乳糖が市販されている(商品名「Fast Flow−Hydrous N.F.Spray Dryed」Foremost社製、商品名「ダイラクトーズ」フロイント産業社製、商品名「タブレトーズ」太陽化学社製)。
【0005】
トローチ剤、咀嚼剤あるいは舌下錠は有効成分と添加剤が共に水可溶性であることが望ましく、完全可溶性賦形剤の添加が必要で、従来より蔗糖、乳糖、マンニトール及びキシリトール等の糖類が用いられている(特開平3−56413号公報、特開平4−210924号公報)。従って、水に不溶である澱粉類、無機塩類及び微結晶セルロースは前記製剤において賦形剤としての使用が制限される。
【0006】
注射剤には、溶解補助剤としての使用、あるいは凍結乾燥された製剤においては、再溶解する際の溶解性を高めるためデキストランを始めとする多糖類の添加剤が使用されている。
【0007】
特殊な添加剤としては、例えば、癌細胞へ特異的に制癌作用物質を到達させるために、癌細胞に対して親和性を有する高分子物質に制癌作用物質を結合させた高分子プロドラッグが提案されており、デキストラン等の多糖類、アルブミン等の蛋白、ペプタイド類及びポリエチレングリコール等の合成高分子がその担体として用いられている(Int.J.Pharmaceut.Vol.137.145−154.1987等)。
【0008】
ところが、添加剤の多くは、有効成分と配合することにより、程度の差はあるにせよ、配合変化を起し有効成分の経時的な品質劣化を引き起こす。例えば、添加剤として繁用されている乳糖は、その還元性故に有効成分がそれに感受性の高い場合は使用できないし、第1級アミンをもつ有効成分とはメイラード反応を起して褐色の反応物を生成する。また、ビタミンD3誘導体は、乳糖と配合すると著しく分解することが知られている(特開平4−13625号公報)。リン酸水素カルシウムや繊維素グリコール酸カルシウムは、カルシウムと反応性のある有効成分には用いることができない。馬鈴薯澱粉やとうもろこし澱粉あるいは微結晶セルロース等の有効成分と反応性の少ない添加剤は、混合性や流動性は良いものの、圧縮成型性が悪い、あるいは流動性が悪い等の欠点を有している。さらに、馬鈴薯澱粉を始めとする前記添加剤は、水に不溶であり、トローチ剤や咀嚼剤に使用すると、舌ざわりが悪く好ましい服用感を得られない。
【0009】
このように、従来の添加剤には、有効成分の希釈をはじめとする前述の各種の目的に使用でき、且つ有効成分との反応性が低いものはなく、これらの要望を満たす添加剤の開発が望まれている。
【0010】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明の課題は、食品、医薬品、飼料等の分野における有効成分の希釈をはじめとする各種の目的に使用でき、且つ有効成分との反応性が低い製剤用添加剤を提供することにある。
【0011】
【課題を解決するための手段】
トレハロースは、水に可溶な柱状晶として得られ、融点203℃、加水分解で2モルのD−グルコースを与えること、非還元性であることが知られている。本発明者らは、トレハロースの前記諸性質の他に、その味、水溶液の粘度及び透明度、結晶の粉砕特性、さらにはその粉末の色調、流動性、圧縮成型性、濡れ特性、吸湿特性、有効成分との配合変化の有無を詳細に調べた。その結果、トレハロースがこれまで知られている添加剤には見られない、添加剤として有用な諸特性を併せもつことを見出し本発明を完成することができた。すなわち、本発明は、無水α,α−トレハロースを除くトレハロースからなることを特徴とする流動層造粒用の製剤用賦形剤及びこのような流動層造粒用の製剤用賦形剤であって、さらに微結晶セルロース、澱粉、ヒドロキシプロピルセルロース、ヒドロキシプロピルメチルセルロース、カルボキシメチルセルロースナトリウム、リン酸水素カルシウム、ポリビニルアルコールおよびポリビニルピロリドンからなる群から選ばれる一以上をも含有することを特徴とするものに関するものである。
【0012】
【発明の実施の形態】
トレハロースには、α,α−トレハロース、α,β−トレハロース又はβ,β−トレハロースの3種が存在する。このうち、製剤用の添加剤としては、天然に存在するα,α−トレハロースが好ましい。トレハロースの水溶液は、無色透明で、粘性が低く、また、僅かな甘味を呈し服用しやすい特性をもつ。
【0013】
200メッシュ(74μm)篩を全通する粉末状のトレハロースは、有効成分の希釈を目的とする賦形剤として優れた混合性を示し、製剤の含量均一性を確保できる。トレハロースは、機械粉砕等により容易に粒度のコントロールが行える。そこで、トレハロースを使用目的あるいは有効成分の特性に応じた粒度に加工することにより、その便宜性は更に向上する。
【0014】
トレハロースは澱粉類の添加剤とは異なり、優れた圧縮成型性を示す。更に、圧縮成型物の色調は、乳糖の成型物とは異なり白色度が高い。トレハロースは前記粒度をコントロールしたものの他、その他の添加剤例えばセルロース誘導体との混合物を造粒(転動造粒、流動層造粒等)あるいは噴霧乾燥することにより、打錠用の賦形剤、特に直接打錠用の添加剤として有用な添加剤となり得る。
【0015】
さらに、トレハロースは、水によく溶け僅かな甘味を有する服用感の優れた添加剤で、トローチ剤、舌下錠及び咀嚼錠における水可溶性賦形剤として使用できる。
【0016】
トレハロースは、その単味またはポリビニルアルコール、ポリビニルピロリドン、ヒドロキシプロピルセルロース、ヒドロキシプロピルメチルセルロース等との併用により難溶性薬物の溶解性改善、例えば固溶体化法や混合粉砕法の添加剤としても有用である。
【0017】
本発明の製剤用添加剤をシロップ剤の甘味賦形剤として使用すると、蔗糖を用いた場合に比べ甘味が抑えられた服用感のよい製剤が得られる。また、注射剤の有効成分の溶解補助剤及びデキストランに代わる凍結乾燥製剤用の添加剤としても有用である。
【0018】
(作用)トレハロースは、製剤学的に安定な二糖類であり、有効成分との反応性が低い。また、水によく溶け、僅かな甘味をもつ服用感に優れた糖類である。さらに、その粉末は混合性、造粒性及び圧縮成型性に優れ、且つ有効な流動性を示す。従って、トレハロースは、食品、医薬品、飼料等の分野における有効成分の希釈をはじめとする各種の目的に使用でき、且つ有効成分との反応性が少ない製剤用の添加剤となり得る。
【0019】
【実施例】
本発明を以下の実施例によって具体的に説明する。
【0020】

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical additive in the fields of foods, pharmaceuticals, feeds, and the like, and more particularly to a pharmaceutical additive comprising trehalose.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Solid preparations and injections such as tablets, pills, granules, powders (including fine granules), troches, and chews in the fields of food, pharmaceuticals, feeds, suspensions, emulsions, elixirs, syrups In order to secure the active ingredient and its properties and quality standards during storage, or to increase its usefulness, suitable additions of excipients, stabilizers, preservatives, buffering agents, etc. The agent is used. The additive must be harmless in the dosage of the formulation and must not interfere with the therapeutic effect of the formulation or interfere with the study.
[0003]
Conventionally, various excipients such as starches such as potato starch and corn starch, saccharides such as lactose, sucrose, glucose and mannitol, inorganic salts such as calcium phosphate and precipitated calcium carbonate, etc. are diluted in the solid formulation. It is used for the purpose. In addition, various sugars, cellulose derivatives, and polymer substances such as polyvinyl pyrrolidone are used as additives for enhancing the solubility of hardly soluble drugs, for example, carriers used in the solid solution method and the mixed pulverization method (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 9 (1994)). 58-77811 etc.).
[0004]
On the other hand, tablets have been conventionally produced by a wet tableting method (indirect tableting method), but in recent years, direct tableting methods have been widely used for the purpose of simplifying the production process and omitting the granulation process. ing. In this direct tableting method, the mixed powder consisting of the active ingredient and various additives needs to exhibit good fluidity and compression moldability, and for direct tableting suitable for obtaining good disintegration after taking. It is necessary to use excipients. As the direct tableting excipient, microcrystalline cellulose, calcium hydrogen phosphate and sorbitol have been used for a long time. In addition to the tableting excipient, for example, a tableting excipient composed of xylan and glucomannan (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 51-15611), a dispersion of cellulose powder and hydroxypropyl starch powder is spray-dried. An excipient for compression molding (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 60-97919), a water-soluble glucan (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 59-130821) and the like are disclosed. Moreover, spray-dried or fluidized-bed granulated lactose is commercially available as an excipient for direct compression (trade name “Fast Flow-Hydrous NF Spray Dry”, manufactured by Foremost, trade name “Diactose”. Made by Freund Sangyo Co., Ltd., trade name “Tablets” manufactured by Taiyo Chemical Co.
[0005]
For lozenges, chewing agents or sublingual tablets, it is desirable that both active ingredients and additives are water-soluble, and it is necessary to add completely soluble excipients. Conventionally, sugars such as sucrose, lactose, mannitol and xylitol have been used. (JP-A-3-56413, JP-A-4-210924). Therefore, starches, inorganic salts and microcrystalline cellulose that are insoluble in water are limited in use as excipients in the formulation.
[0006]
For injections, polysaccharide additives such as dextran are used for use as a solubilizing agent or in lyophilized preparations in order to increase the solubility when redissolved.
[0007]
As a special additive, for example, a polymer prodrug in which an anticancer drug is bound to a high molecular substance having affinity for cancer cells in order to reach the cancer cell specifically to the cancer cell And polysaccharides such as dextran, proteins such as albumin, peptides, and synthetic polymers such as polyethylene glycol are used as carriers (Int. J. Pharmaceut. Vol. 137.1145-154.). 1987).
[0008]
However, many of the additives are blended with the active ingredient to cause a change in the blend and cause deterioration of the quality of the active ingredient over time, although there is a difference in degree. For example, lactose frequently used as an additive cannot be used when the active ingredient is sensitive to it due to its reducibility, and it is a brown reactant resulting from a Maillard reaction with an active ingredient having a primary amine. Is generated. In addition, it is known that vitamin D 3 derivatives are significantly degraded when blended with lactose (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-13625). Calcium hydrogen phosphate and calcium fibrin glycolate cannot be used as active ingredients reactive with calcium. Additives that are less reactive with active ingredients such as potato starch, corn starch, or microcrystalline cellulose have good blendability and fluidity, but have disadvantages such as poor compression moldability and poor fluidity. . Furthermore, the said additive including potato starch is insoluble in water, and when it is used for a troche or a chewing agent, the feeling of a tongue is bad and favorable taking feeling cannot be obtained.
[0009]
As described above, there is no conventional additive that can be used for the above-mentioned various purposes including dilution of the active ingredient and has low reactivity with the active ingredient. Is desired.
[0010]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
An object of the present invention is to provide an additive for pharmaceutical preparations that can be used for various purposes including dilution of active ingredients in the fields of foods, pharmaceuticals, feeds, etc. and has low reactivity with active ingredients.
[0011]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
It is known that trehalose is obtained as columnar crystals soluble in water, has a melting point of 203 ° C., gives 2 mol of D-glucose by hydrolysis, and is non-reducing. In addition to the above-mentioned properties of trehalose, the inventors of the present invention have a taste, viscosity and transparency of an aqueous solution, crystal grinding properties, color tone, fluidity, compression moldability, wetting properties, moisture absorption properties, and effective properties of the powder. The presence or absence of a change in formulation with the ingredients was examined in detail. As a result, it has been found that trehalose has properties useful as an additive that have not been found in known additives, and the present invention has been completed. That is, the present invention is a formulation excipient for fluidized bed granulation characterized by comprising trehalose excluding anhydrous α, α-trehalose, and a formulation excipient for such fluidized bed granulation. And further containing at least one selected from the group consisting of microcrystalline cellulose, starch, hydroxypropylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, calcium hydrogen phosphate, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinylpyrrolidone. it is intended to function.
[0012]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
There are three types of trehalose: α, α-trehalose, α, β-trehalose or β, β-trehalose. Of these, naturally-occurring α, α-trehalose is preferable as an additive for preparations. An aqueous solution of trehalose is colorless and transparent, has a low viscosity, has a slight sweetness and is easy to take.
[0013]
Powdered trehalose that passes through a 200 mesh (74 μm) sieve exhibits excellent mixing properties as an excipient for the purpose of diluting the active ingredient, and can ensure the uniformity of the content of the preparation. Trehalose can be easily controlled in particle size by mechanical grinding or the like. Therefore, convenience is further improved by processing trehalose into a particle size according to the purpose of use or the characteristics of the active ingredient.
[0014]
Trehalose, unlike starch additives, exhibits excellent compression moldability. Further, the color tone of the compression molded product is high in whiteness unlike the molded product of lactose. Trehalose is a tableting excipient by granulating (rolling granulation, fluidized bed granulation, etc.) or spray-drying a mixture with other additives such as cellulose derivatives, in addition to those controlling the particle size, In particular, it can be an additive useful as an additive for direct tableting.
[0015]
Furthermore, trehalose is an additive with a good taste that dissolves well in water and has a slight sweetness, and can be used as a water-soluble excipient in lozenges, sublingual tablets and chewable tablets.
[0016]
Trehalose is also useful as an additive in the solubility of poorly soluble drugs, for example, in the form of a solid solution or a mixed pulverization method, when used alone or in combination with polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, hydroxypropylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, or the like.
[0017]
When the additive for preparation of the present invention is used as a sweetening excipient for syrup, a preparation having a good feeling of taking in which sweetness is suppressed as compared with the case of using sucrose can be obtained. In addition, it is also useful as a solubilizing agent for active ingredients of injections and as an additive for freeze-dried preparations in place of dextran.
[0018]
(Operation) Trehalose is a pharmaceutically stable disaccharide and has low reactivity with an active ingredient. In addition, it is a saccharide that dissolves well in water and has a slight sweetness and is excellent in taking feeling. Furthermore, the powder is excellent in mixing property, granulation property and compression moldability, and exhibits effective fluidity. Therefore, trehalose can be used for various purposes including the dilution of active ingredients in the fields of foods, pharmaceuticals, feeds and the like, and can be an additive for preparations having low reactivity with active ingredients.
[0019]

Test Example 5
As an active ingredient mixed with excipients, in particular, 10 g of L-arginine that reacts with sugar and 10 g of α, α-trehalose was added purified water to make 100 ml, and instead of α, α-trehalose in the aqueous solution as a control An aqueous solution using lactose was prepared, and each of the two aqueous solutions was dispensed into vials and stored in a 60 ° C. incubator and in a cold place (5 ° C.) for 23 hours. After storing under the above two types of conditions, the appearance of each aqueous solution was observed, and the transmittance (%) at 430 nm was measured using purified water as a control. The results are shown in Table 3 below.
[0034]
The aqueous solution containing L-arginine and lactose turned brown due to heating abuse and showed a significant decrease in permeability. However, when the additive of the present invention was used under the same conditions, no change in appearance was observed and the transmittance was slightly reduced. Thus, the additive for formulation of this invention can be used for the active ingredient with which a mixing | blending change with an additive is anxious.
