Definitions
- This invention relates to pharmaceutical formulations for oral administration, comprising an antibiotic and a ⁇ -lactamase inhibitor.
- Oral formulations of this type are known, but generally need to be administered three times daily. It is desirable to produce such a formulation in a delayed or sustained release form which may be suitable for less frequent administration.
- a particularly effective ⁇ -lactamase inhibitor is the known compound clavulanic acid and its derivatives (hereinafter collectively termed "clavulanate” unless otherwise specifically identified), especially the potassium salt of clavulanic acid, but clavulanate is very sensitive to moisture. It is therefore desirable to provide clavulanate in an oral formulation in which the clavulanate has improved resistance to environmental moisture.
- the invention therefore provides a pharmaceutical granule, comprising a core which comprises a ⁇ -lactam antibiotic and a ⁇ -lactamase inhibitor, and a surrounding layer around the core, the surrounding layer having a different composition to the core and comprising antibiotic.
- Preferred ⁇ -lactam antibiotics are ⁇ -lactam antibiotics, for example penicillins and cephalosporins, in particular amoxycillin, for example in the form of amoxycillin trihydrate.
- a preferred ⁇ -lactamase inhibitor is clavulanate, particularly potassium clavulanate.
- the ratio antibiotic : ⁇ -lactamase inhibitor may vary between wide limits, in the case of clavulanate for example varying between 1 : 1 to 30 : 1, for example amoxycillin : clavulanate between 1 : 1 to 30 : 1, e.g 2 : 1, 3 : 1, 4 : 1, 5 : 1, 6 : 1, 7 : 1 or 8 : 1 inclusive expressed as the equivalent weight ratios of the parent free acids.
- the core may suitably contain a ratio amoxycillin : clavulanate between 1 : 1 to 4 : 1.
- the core may be made by a conventional granulating process as known in the art.
- the core is made by a dry granulation procedure for example slugging then milling, or by roller compaction then milling.
- the core may include conventional additives introduced as a result of the granulation process, e.g. lubricants such as magnesium stearate, in conventional quantities, e.g. ca. 1 wt% of magnesium stearate.
- the core is a core granule of 10 - 40 mesh size, for example 12 - 30 mesh size.
- the surrounding layer may suitably comprise the same antibiotic as is used in the core, for example a ⁇ -lactam antibiotic such as amoxycillin trihydrate.
- the layer may suitably be applied to the core as a mixture of antibiotic with a granulating material, particularly of a type which assists spray granulation, such as cellulose derivatives, e.g. ethylcelluloses, hydroxypropylcelluloses, hydroxypropyl- methylcelluloses or polyvinylpyrrolidone etc or mixtures thereof.
- a plasticiser material such as propylene glycol, acetyltriethylcitrate, triethyl citrate, dibutyl sebucate, diethylphthalate etc, and dissolved or suspended in a suitable solvent such as water or an organic solvent.
- the layer may consequently include such materials as well as the antibiotic.
- Examples of combinations of granulating material and plasticiser include hydroxypropyl celluloses, hydroxypropylmethyl celluloses and ethyl celluloses, mixed with propylene glycol or acetyltriethylcitrate.
- the ratio of antibiotic : granulating material : plasticiser in the layer may be in the range 5-10 : 1 - 2 : 1-2 by weight.
- the rate of dissolution of the surrounding layer and/or permeability of the layer to water may be varied.
- the ratio antibiotic : ⁇ -lactamase inhibitor may also vary between wide limits, in the case of clavulanate for example varying between 30 : 1 to 1 : 1 , for example amoxycillin : clavulanate between 30 : 1 to 1 : 1, e.g 1 : 1, 2 : 1, 3 : 1, 4 : 1, 5 : 1, 6 : 1, 7 : 1 or 8 : 1 expressed as equivalent weight ratios of the parent free acids.
- the overall ratio may be in the range around (e.g. ⁇ 10%) 2 : 1 to 4 : 1.
- a ratio of around 4 : 1 may be achieved by using a core having a ratio around 3.2 : 1, with a surrounding layer which contains enough amoxycillin to bring the overall ratio up to around 4 : 1.
- a ratio of around 2 : 1 may be achieved by using a core having a ratio around 1 : 1, with a surrounding layer which contains enough amoxycillin to bring the overall ratio up to around 2 : 1.
- the granule is preferably coated with a coating layer of a dissolution- retarding coating.
- This coating may be a polymeric material, for example an enteric polymer (the term "enteric polymer” is a term of the art referring to a polymer which is preferentially soluble in the less acid environment of the intestine relative to the more acid environment of the stomach).
- An enteric coating may be an essentially conventional coating material known for enteric coating of antibiotic granules, for example enteric polymers such as cellulose acetate phthalate, cellulose acetate succinate, methylcellulose phthalate, ethylhydroxycellulose phthalate, polyvinylacetate phthalate, polyvinylbutyrate acetate, vinyl acetate-maleic anhydride copolymer, styrene-maleic mono-ester copolymer, methyl acrylate-methacrylic acid copolymer, methacrylate-methacrylic acid-octyl aery late copolymer, etc. These may be used either alone or in combination, or together with other polymers than those mentioned above.
- enteric polymers such as cellulose acetate phthalate, cellulose acetate succinate, methylcellulose phthalate, ethylhydroxycellulose phthalate, polyvinylacetate phthalate, polyvinylbutyrate acetate, vinyl acetate-male
- the enteric coating may also include insoluble substances which are neither decomposed nor solubilized in living bodies, such as alkyl cellulose derivatives such as ethyl cellulose, crosslinked polymers such as styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer, polysaccharides having hydroxyl groups such as dextran, cellulose derivatives which are treated with bifiinctional crosslinking agents such as epichlorohydrin, dichlorohydrin, 1, 2-, 3, 4-diepoxy butane, etc.
- the enteric coating may also include starch and/or dextrin.
- enteric coating materials are the commercially available "Eudragit” (Trade Mark) enteric polymers, such as “Eudragit L” (Trade Mark), “Eudragit S” (Trade Mark), and “Eudragit NE” (Trade Mark) or mixtures thereof used either alone or with a plasticiser.
- Such coatings are normally applied using a liquid medium, and the nature of the plasticiser, depends upon whether the medium is aqueous or non-aqueous.
- Aqueous plasticisers include propylene glycol or "Citroflex” or Citroflex A2" (Trade Marks) (mainly triethyl citrate or acetyl triethyl citrate).
- Non-aqueous plasticers include these, and also diethyl and dibutyl phthalate, and dibutyl sebacate.
- the quantity of plasticiser included will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
- the enteric coating may also include an anti-tack agent such as talc, silica or glyceryl monostearate.
- the quantity of plasticiser and anti-tack agent may be generally conventional to the art.
- the coating may include around 10 - 25 wt. % plasticiser and up to around 50 wt% of anti tack agent, e.g. 5 - 20 wt. % of anti-tack agent.
- the enteric coating may be applied to the granules by dissolving or suspending the enteric coating materials in a suitable medium, such as water, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methylene dichloride, ethylene chloride, ethyl acetate, etc. or mixtures thereof, and the resultant solution or suspension may be sprayed on the granules to coat them, followed by drying sufficiently with an air flow and screening.
- a suitable medium such as water, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methylene dichloride, ethylene chloride, ethyl acetate, etc. or mixtures thereof.
- the enteric coating material may be dissolved or suspended in a solvent for example water and coated onto the granules using a fluidised bed system. If water is used, preferably an anti-foaming agent such as activated polymethylsiloxane is also included.
- a suitable organic solvent is a propanol-methylene dichloride mixture.
- the coating layer may be applied sequentially to the granules, in a batch or continuous process.
- the granules may be removed from the equipment being used to apply the surrounding layer and coated later.
- the nature of the coating solution or suspension may be changed after application of a suitable quantity of the surrounding layer.
- the surrounding layer may be pre-treated to apply a hydrophobic material such as a wax, a stearate or a silicone, prior to application of the coating layer, to reduce the rate of water ingress into the granule.
- a hydrophobic material such as a wax, a stearate or a silicone
- the core may comprise some 30 - 65 wt. % . of the overall granule weight.
- the surrounding layer may comprise some 15 - 40 wt. % of the overall granule weight.
- the coating layer may comprise 15 - 40 wt. % of the overall granule weight.
- the invention therefore also provides a method for the preparation of such a granule, which method comprises forming a core which comprises an antibiotic and a ⁇ -lactamase inhibitor, and forming thereon a surrounding layer around the core, the surrounding layer having a different composition to the core and comprising antibiotic, and optionally also coating the granule with a coating layer of a dissolution-retarding coating.
- the granules of the invention may be made up into a formulation for oral administration, including appropriate additives and/or pharmaceutically aceptable carriers, in a number of forms.
- One form is a compressed tablet formulation comprising granules of the invention dispersed in a matrix which include a ⁇ -lactam antibiotic, optionally but preferably together with a ⁇ -lactamase inhibitor, which may be the same antibiotic and/or ⁇ -lactamase inhibitor which are used in the granule of the invention.
- a preferred marix antibiotic is amoxycillin, for example amoxycillin trihydrate, and a preferred matrix ⁇ -lactamase inhibitor is clavulanate, particularly potassium clavulanate.
- the ratio antibiotic : ⁇ -lactamase inhibitor may vary between wide limits, for example between 1 : 1 to 30 :1, for example amoxycillin: clavulanate between 1:1 to 12:1, e.g. 2:1, 3:1, 4: 1, 5: 1, 6:1, 7:1 or 8:1 inclusive expressed as the equivalent weight ratios of the parent free acids.
- the matrix amoxycillin : clavulanate ratio is between 2:1 and 4:1.
- the overall amoxycillin : clavulanate ratio in the tablet may suitably be in the range 1: 1 to 30:1, for example amoxycillinxlavulanate between 1:1 to 12:1, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1, 6:1, 7:1, or 8:1 inclusive expressed as the equivalent weight ratios of the parent free acids.
- the overall tablet amoxycillinxlavulanate ratio may be in the range 2:1 to 8:1.
- matrix amoxycillin may be in the ratio 2:1 to 1:2, typically around 1.5:1 ⁇ 10%
- matrix clavulanate may also be in the ratio 2:1 to 1:2, typically around 1.5:1 ⁇ 10%
- the matrix in such a tablet may also include diluents such as calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, dicalcium phosphate or mixtures thereof, binders such as hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, hydroxy-propylcellulose, polyvinyl ⁇ pyrrolidone, pre-gelatinised starch or gum acacia or mixtures thereof, disintegrants such as cross-linked polyvinylpyrrolidone, sodium starch glycoUate, croscarmellose sodium or mixtures thereof, lubricants, such as magnesium stearate or stearic acid, glidants or flow aids, such as colloidal silica, talc or starch, stabilisers such as desiccating amorphous silica, suspending agents, and compression aids such as microcrystalline cellulose, in conventional amounts.
- diluents such as calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, dicalcium phosphate or mixtures thereof
- binders such as hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, hydroxy-propylcellulose
- the invention further provides a method for making such a tablet, comprising admixing the granules of the invention and a ⁇ -lactam antibiotic, and compressing the mixture into a tablet.
- a tablet may advantageously produce a sustained release effect, whereby antibiotic and inhibitor are released initially from the matrix, then subsequently or more slowly from the granules. If the granules are coated with an enteric polymer, release may be delayed until the granules pass into the intestine.
- Another form is a rapidly-dispersing tablet for swallowing directly, which may comprise compacted granules of this invention. Methods of compacting granules to form a tablet are well known in the art.
- Such tablets may be made by any substantially conventional tabletting process, eg compaction of the matrix materials, the granules and any other additives in a tabletting press. During compaction some loss of integrity on crushing of some of the granules may occur, but tablets including such crushed granules are included within the scope of this invention. Such loss of integrity may be reduced by the use of known compaction acids such as starch and microcrystalline celluloses in the matrix.
- a chewable tablet Another form is a chewable tablet.
- Appropriate additives comprise a chewable base such as mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose or sorbitol, or mixtures thereof, binders such as polyvinylpyrrolidone (eg Kollidon K12-K30, Trade Mark), an optional disintegrant such as sodium starch glycoUate, cross-linked polyvinyl- pyrrolidone, croscarmellose sodium or mixtures thereof, lubricants such as magnesium stearate or stearic acid, glidants or flow aids, such as colloidal silica, talc or starch, and stabilisers such as desiccating amorphous silica.
- binders such as polyvinylpyrrolidone (eg Kollidon K12-K30, Trade Mark)
- an optional disintegrant such as sodium starch glycoUate, cross-linked polyvinyl- pyrrolidone, croscarmellose sodium or mixtures
- Such a chewable tablet may alternatively be made up as a fizzy chewable tablet by incorporating into it an effervescent couple, ie a mixture of an acid and a carbonate that evolves carbon dioxide on contact with water.
- Typical acids include citric and tartaric acid
- typical carbonates include sodium hydrogen carbonate, sodium glycine carbonate and sodium carbonate.
