Solid dispersions or solid dispersion pharmaceutical preparations of phenylalanine derivatives
The present invention provides solid dispersions or solid dispersion pharmaceutical preparations containing a water-soluble polymeric substance(s) and a phenylalanine compound of the formula (1) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein A represents the formula (2) and the like, B represent an alkoxy group and the like, E represents a hydrogen atom and the like, D represents a substituted phenyl group and the like, T, U and V represent a carbonyl group and the like, Arm represents a benzene ring and the like, R1 represents an alkyl group and the like, R2, R3, and R4 may be the same or different from one another and each represent a hydrogen atom, a substituted amino group and the like, and J and J′ represent a hydrogen atom and the like; production methods thereof; and solubilized pharmaceutical preparations containing a solubilizer(s) and the compound (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. According to the solid dispersion pharmaceutical preparations or solubilized pharmaceutical preparations, though they contain the phenylalanine compound of the formula (1) that is a poorly-soluble drug as an active ingredient, the pharmaceutical preparations having high solubility and oral absorbability can be obtained.
1. A solid dispersion, comprising a phenylalanine compound of formula (A) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof dispersed in amorphous state in methylcellulose wherein the weight ratio of said compound of formula (A) or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to said methylcellulose is 1:0.1 to 1:100
2. The solid dispersion according to claim 1 , wherein said dispersion further comprises hydroxypropylmethylcellulose.
3. The solid dispersion according to claim 1 , wherein the weight ratio of said compound of formula (A) or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to said methylcellulose is 1:0.25 to 1:20.
4. The solid dispersion according to claim 1 , wherein the weight ratio of said compound of formula (A) or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to said methycellulose is 1:05 to 1:10.
5. A solid dispersion pharmaceutical preparation which is prepared by processing a solid dispersion according to claim 1 .
6. A solid dispersion pharmaceutical preparation, comprising a solid dispersion according to claim 1 and one or more foaming agents.
7. A solid dispersion pharmaceutical preparation which is prepared by coating a core component comprising a solid dispersion according to claim 1 with one or more coating agents.
8. The solid dispersion pharmaceutical preparation according to claim 7 , wherein said one or more coating agents is one or more coating agents selected from the group consisting of aminoalkyl methacrylate copolymer E, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, methylcellulose, methylhydroxyethylcellulose, opadry, carmellose calcium, carmellose sodium, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl alcohol, dextrin, pullulan, gelatin, agar, gum Arabic, and mixtures thereof.
9. A method for producing a solid dispersion according to claim 1 , comprising dissolving or dispersing the compound of formula (A) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in one or more organic solvents together with said methylcellulose, and then removing said one or more organic solvents.
10. A method for producing a solid dispersion according to claim 1 , comprising dissolving or dispersing the compound of formula (A) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in said methylcellulose under heating, to obtain a mixture, and then cooling said mixture.
11. A method for producing a solid dispersion according to claim 1 , comprising dissolving or dispersing the compound of formula (A) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in said methylcellulose under heating and under pressure, to obtain a mixture, and then cooling said mixture.
12. A method for producing a solid dispersion according to claim 1 , comprising mixing the compound of formula (A) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof together with said methylcellulose, and to obtain a mixture, then grinding the mixture.
13. The method of claim 9 , wherein said one or more organic solvents is one or more organic solvents selected from the group consisting of a halogenated hydrocarbon, an alcohol, and mixtures thereof.
