Definitions
- the present invention relates to the use of N-[N-(3,3-dimethylbutyl)-L- ⁇ -aspartyl]-L- phenylalanine 1 -methyl ester (neotame) as a means of improving the taste or aroma of pharmaceutical products and related compositions.
- the invention relates to the use of neotame in both over-the-counter type products and ethical compositions obtained as prescription medications.
- Pharmaceutical products are useful in society for a variety of health benefits and are used by people in order to maintain an adequate and satisfactory standard of living.
- the types of pharmaceutical products are diverse and include ethical compositions as well as numerous compositions which are available over the counter, such as non-presc ⁇ ption drugs.
- the types of formulations are also very diverse, and include powders, tablets, pills, capsules, aerosols, syrups, liquid formulations, lozenges (drops), and chewable and non-chewable forms. Depending on the targeted end application, these forms are formulated with a wide variety of active and in-active ingredients.
- Pharmaceutical products contain essential ingredients (i.e. active ingredients) which may impart undesirable tastes or aromas when administered. Therefore, without the aid of a taste masking agent the product may be deemed unacceptable by consumers.
- a pleasing taste or aroma is necessary to help achieve the heath benefit of these products since diminishing undesirable taste qualities will result in a more thorough use and administration of the particular product.
- Many compounds which function as medicinal substances have bitter and astringent characteristics which make the substance unpalatable, especially to younger children and older adults who may be less tolerable to the inherent taste properties of the substance.
- many medicinal substances are targeted for the elderly and young children and thus the problem of achieving effective administration of the product is exacerbated. As a consequence there remains a need to increase the level of patient compliance of many pharmaceutical related products and compositions.
- Taste-masking agents and flavoring ingredients are generally added to pharmaceutical products in order to mask the undesirable off- tastes contributed by either the active or inactive ingredients required for functionality.
- Flavoring systems can also be used and include a variety of different agents, including mint oils such as peppermint and spearmint, as well as numerous flavor- modifying compounds recognized as flavoring ingredients in the food industry.
- Fruit flavors are often used in products targeted for children in order to increase the level of palatability.
- High- intensity sweeteners such aspartame, saccharine and acesulfame-K have also been used as taste- masking agents.
- the flavor or taste-masking agent is generally incorporated as part of the pharmaceutical composition.
- taste-masking substances cannot be used without first considering the other ingredients which make up the composition.
- the taste-masking agent needs to be compatible with both the active and non- active ingredients that make up the particular product as well as be compatible and blend well with other flavor agents used.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,084,278 discloses a polymeric mixture coating that masks the bitter taste of chewable acetaminophen tablets.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,437,873 discloses a method for improving the taste of antacid tablets and calcium supplements. Aspartame is shown to be effective for improving the taste properties of chewable vitamins (JP Patent No. 60,198,571).
- a taste improvement was achieved using a co-spray-dried form of a polyol as disclosed in WO Patent No. 9,741,835. Saccharin has been used to mask undesirable tastes in laxatives as described in U.S. Patent No. 5,498,425.
- the N-alkylated aspartame derivative, neotame is a highly intense non-nutritive sweetening agent useful to impart sweetness of a wide variety of food products.
- This compound disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,480,668, is approximately 8,000 times as sweet as sucrose and 40 times as sweet as aspartame on a weight basis.
- neotame is able to mask undesirable tastes and aromas of pharmaceutical compositions and as a result make such products more pleasing and acceptable.
- neotame is able to improve the taste and aroma of pharmaceutical products by modifying flavoring ingredients traditionally used.
- Neotame's ability to improve the flavor characteristics of many different flavor systems used in pharmaceutical formulations is also unique among flavor enhancing ingredients in general and high-intensity sweeteners in particular. It therefore would be advantageous to utilize these properties of neotame in pharmaceutical products. Such use is not described or suggested by the prior art.
- neotame neotame in an amount effective to mask the unpleasant taste or aroma of the pharmaceutical product, and therefore achieve an more palatable product.
- pharmaceutical products comprising a blend of neotame with other taste- masking agents in a combined amount effective to produce a more desirable taste in the pharmaceutical product.
- the invention includes the use of neotame to modify the taste characteristics of certain bulking agents and inert ingredients as it has also been discovered that neotame, when used at taste-masking levels reduces or eliminates the off-tastes of said bulking or inert agents which are traditionally used.
- the invention also relates to the method of preparing compositions of pharmaceutical products containing neotame.
- This invention is related to the improvement of the taste or aroma of pharmaceutical products by neotame. If neotame is used exclusively the amount will range from about 1 to about 2000 parts per million (ppm). More preferably, the amounts will range from about 5 to about 500 ppm. If neotame is used as part of a flavoring system comprising other flavoring agents or taste improvement agents the amount of neotame will range from about 0.01 to about 1000 ppm.
- the types of pharmaceutical products that can be improved according to this invention are very diverse and represent a variety of different compositions that can be prepared from ingredients traditionally used in the formulation of pharmaceutical compositions.
- the pharmaceutical product can exist in a variety of different forms. These include powders, tablets, pills, capsules, gels, lozenges (drops), aerosols, and liquid formulations such as syrups, emulsions, suspensions, and extractives. Tablets, pills, capsules, gels, or lozenges can be either the chewable type or coated.
- Types of pharmaceutical products include, but not limited to antacids, laxatives, multi-vitamins, analgesics (for example, aspirin, acetaminophen, and ibuprofen compositions), cough medications (syrups, lozenges, etc.), cold and flu medications, and sinus and allergy-relief medications.
- analgesics for example, aspirin, acetaminophen, and ibuprofen compositions
- cough medications sleep medications
- cold and flu medications cold and flu medications
- sinus and allergy-relief medications sinus and allergy-relief medications.
- One object of this invention is to provide a pharmaceutical composition which has a reduction or elimination of undesirable taste or aroma characteristics imparted by either the active or inert ingredients used in the formulation.
- Use of high-intensity sweeteners in pharmaceutical products generally requires the use of a bulking agent or other inert ingredient to provide a desirable delivery form. These bulking agents are commonly used to achieve targeted functionality as well as provide a particular delivery form. Accordingly, there is a need to mask or diminish the taste characteristics of said ingredients such as bitterness or other unpleasant off-notes without the added addition of costly masking ingredients.
- Such pharmaceutical compositions containing neotame would not only provide an improved taste or aroma but also allow for .a reduced total amount of flavoring agent required, thereby reducing costs of production.
- Common bulking agents used in pharmaceutical compositions include, but are not limited to, starch and starch derivatives, cellulose and cellulose derivatives, mannitol, lactose, dextrose, sorbitol, and gelatin. Some bulking agents such as sugars, carbohydrates, and sugar alcohols can also provide added sweetness and work in combination with neotame to aid in the taste-masking effect. Use of bulking agents as inert ingredients in the pharmaceuticals industry is well known and the particular formulation considerations in using a particular bulking agent can be utilized by those skilled in the art.
- Another aspect of the invention is the longer lasting perception of the flavor or aroma provided by the pharmaceutical composition containing neotame, thereby making the composition more appealing after administration.
- neotame neotame
- Another aspect of the invention is the longer lasting perception of the flavor or aroma provided by the pharmaceutical composition containing neotame, thereby making the composition more appealing after administration.
- neotame used in these types of pharmaceutical products may take any form.
- it may be a salt or complex such as described in U.S. Patent Application No. 09/146,963, U.S. Patent Application No. 09/146,964, U.S. Patent Application No. 09/148,134, U.S. Patent Application No. 09/146,965, U.S. Patent Application No. 09/154,568, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/126,363, the disclosure of each of which is incorporated by reference herein.
- Other exemplary forms of neotame that may be used in this invention include co-crystallized forms and cyclodextrin complexes, such as described in U.S. Patent Application No.
- Neotame described herein may be blended with one or more other taste-masking agents or high-intensity sweeteners to mask the undesirable taste of some ingredients in such pharmaceutical products.
- sweeteners may be conventional caloric sweeteners, sugar alcohols, or high-intensity sweeteners.
- Suitable sugars include monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides such as xylose, ribulose, glucose (dextrose), mannose, galactose, fructose (levulose), sucrose (sugar), maltose, invert sugar, partially hydrolyzed starch and corn syrup solids, and mixtures thereof.
- Suitable sugar alcohols include sorbitol, xylitol, mannitol, lactitol, isomalt (a racemic mixture of ⁇ -D-glusopyranosyl-l,6-mannitol and ⁇ -D-glucopytanosyl-l,6-sorbitol manufactured under the tradename PalatinitTM), and mixtures thereof.
- Other sugar related substances include maltodextrins, hydrogenated starch hydrolysates, hydrogenated hexoses, hydrogenated disaccharides, and the like, and mixtures thereof.
- suitable high-intensity sweeteners include (A) water-soluble naturally-occurring intense sweeteners such as dihyroxychalcones, monellin, steviosides, glycyrrhizins,. dihydroflavenol, and L-aminodicarboxylic acid aminoalkenoic acid ester amides, such as those disclosed in U.S. Pat. No.
- water-soluble artificial sweeteners including the soluble saccharin salts of 3,4-dihydro-6-methyl-l,2,3-oxathiazine-4- one-2,2-dioxide, the potassium salt of 3,4-dihydro-6-methyl-l,2,3-oxathiazine-4-one-2,2- dioxide (Acesulfame-K), the free acid form of saccharin, and the like, and mixtures thereof;
- dipeptide based sweeteners including L-aspartic acid derivatives described in U.S. Pat. No.
- chlorodeoxysugar derivatives and mixtures thereof and (E) protein based intense sweeteners such as thaumaoccous danielli (thaumatin I and II). Use of these sweeteners in the pharmaceutical composition would naturally reduce the level of neotame required for a particular application.
- compositions typically contain a variety of different colorants and flavorings.
- colorants that can be used in compositions containing neotame and therefore any colorant recognized as a traditional pharmaceutical colorant by those skilled in the art can be used.
- flavoring ingredients which can be used in a pharmaceutical product sweetened with neotame.
- Commonly used flavors include the mints such as spearmint and peppermint, menthol, ethyl vanillin, methyl salicylate, and various fruit flavors like cherry or orange, whether employed individually or in admixture.
- the amounts of colorants and flavorings used are normally a matter of preference subject to type and desired end-strength.
- the amount of neotame used to mask an unpleasant taste or aroma in the pharmaceutical composition will be dependent on the particular application and also subject to individual preference of degree of palatability improvement.
- the desired concentration ranges of neotame may vary due to the targeted improvement level, pH, acidity, and processing conditions. The objective in determining the exact amount of neotame for a particular pharmaceutical product is guided by the degree of improvement desired.
- One embodiment of this invention relates to chewable or coated vitamins formulated with neotame.
- Vitamins are generally formulated with a mannitol base, various individual vitamins, fruit flavors such as grape or cherry, and a binder such as magnesium stearate.
- the usage range level of neotame that provides acceptable sweetness in chewable or coated vitamins is about 1 to about 250 ppm, more preferably between 5 and 150 ppm, and most preferably between 10 and 100 ppm.
- Antacids are generally formulated with a mannitol base, calcium carbonate, a flavor such as mint or menthol, and a binder such as magnesium stearate.
