Definitions

  • compositions comprising Oxcarbazepine
  • the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising Oxcarbazepine.
  • Oxcarbazepine 10,11-dihydro-10-oxo-5H-dibenzo(b,f)azepine-5-carboxamide, is an anticonvulsant and mood stabilizing drug, used primarily in the treatment of epilepsy and bipolar disorders.
  • Oxcarbazepine has the following chemical structure:
  • Oxcarbazepine is known in dosage forms, such as tablets and liquid dosage forms, e.g. suspensions, which are suitable for ensuring a uniform concentration of active ingredient in the blood, especially in the case of regular adminstration over a prolonged period of treatment.
  • Oxcarbazepine is only poorly soluble in water.
  • WO 02/094774 A2 discloses a dosage form composition for oral adminstration comprising Oxcarbazepine and a wetting agent.
  • the use of the wetting agent in the formulation may show enhanced dissolution rates in the in-vitro conditions, but an effectivity in-vivo has not been shown yet. Further the use of a wetting agent in pharmaceutical compositions is disadvantageous.
  • a pharmaceutical composition which comprises Oxcarbazepine in the form of particles with a mean particle size of about 2 ⁇ m or less and contains not more than about 7 wt.%, preferably not more than 5 wt.%, more preferably not more than about 2 wt.% of a binder, based on the total weight of the composition, dissolves quickly without the need of a wetting agent.
  • the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition
  • a pharmaceutical composition comprising about 20-90 wt.% of Oxcarbazepin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as active ingredient, based on the total weight of the composition, the Oxcarbazepine being in the form of particles, wherein the median particle size of the Oxcarbazepine particles is about 2 ⁇ m or less and the composition does not contain more than about 7 wt.%, preferably not more than 5 wt.%, more preferably not more than about 2 wt.% of a binder, based on the total weight of the composition.
  • WO 02/094774 generally suggests to use a wetting agent, as without a wetting agent a desired dissolution profile of Oxcarbazepine tablets would not be obtained. It is further suggested to reduce the median particle size below 10 ⁇ m for getting a desired dissolution profile. However, the desired dissolution profile could only be obtained for mean particle sizes of 10 ⁇ m and 9 ⁇ m. Reduction of the mean particle size to 1 ,5 ⁇ m provided a tablet containing Oxcarbazepine showing a rather poor dissolution profile.
  • the present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising Oxcarbazepine as active ingredient, wherein the Oxcarbazepine particles have a median particle size of about 2 ⁇ m or less and the composition does not contain more than about 7 wt.%, preferably not more than 5 wt.%, more preferably not more than about 2 wt.% of a binder.
  • Such compositions show to have, contrary to the compositions disclosed in WO 02/094774 lacking a wetting agent, an excellent, quick dissolution of the active ingredient, in particular a dissolution profile such that at least 80 wt.% or more of the active ingredient contained in the tablet is dissolved within 15 minutes without using a wetting agent.
  • the pharmaceutical composition according to the present invention contains not more than about 7 wt.%, preferably not more than 5 wt.%, more preferably not more than about 2 wt.% of a binder, based on the total weight of the composition, even more preferably not more than about 1.5 wt.%, in particular not more than about 1 wt.% of a binder.
  • Binders to be used in the compositions of the present invention are such binders known in the art, i.e. compounds which have cohesive properties to act as binders, in particular hydroxypropylmethyl celluloses, hydroxypropyl celluloses (HPC), polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), starches and modified starches.
  • binders e.g. cross-linked polyvinyl pyrrolidone, which can be used as disintegrant and binder, is regarded, according to the present invention, as a binder.
  • compounds which can also be used as excipients or adjuvants different to binders, such as disintegrants, or diluents are, according to the present invention, not regarded as binders, but as disintegrants and diluents, respectively (e.g. cross-linked polyvinyl pyrrolidone is regarded as disintegrant only).
  • the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention generally comprise Oxcarbazepine as active ingredient, in particular about 20-90 wt.%, based on the total weight of the composition, preferably about 50-80 wt.%, in particular about 60-78 wt.%, e.g. about 73 wt.%.
  • the Oxcarbazepine is in the form of particles and the median particle size of the Oxcarbazepine is about 2 ⁇ m or less, such as about 1.5 ⁇ m or less or about 1 ⁇ m or less.
  • the Oxcarbazepine particles have a narrow particle size distribution being defined by the ratio between the median particle size and the particle size at the 95% quantile. This ratio can be equal to or greater than about 0.4, preferably greater than about 0.45, more preferably greater than about 0.5 and most preferably between about 0.55 and about 0.7, such as for example about 0.60 ⁇ 0.02.
  • particle size distribution means the cummulative volume size distribution of equivalent spherical diameters as determined by laser diffraction in accordance with ISO 13320, preferably at 1.0 bar dispersive pressure in a MASTERSIZER 2000 (Malvern Instruments) equipment in particular as described in Example 4.
  • Median particle size correspondigly, means the median of said particle size distribution (d(0.5) or X 50 (ISO 13320)); d(0.1) corresponds to X 10 (ISO 13320) and d(0.9) corresponds to X 90 (ISO 13320).
  • the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention may further comprise suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients and adjuvants, such as diluents, disintegrants, glidants, lubricants, and/or film formers/film coating agents.
  • suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients and adjuvants such as diluents, disintegrants, glidants, lubricants, and/or film formers/film coating agents.
