Definitions
- This invention relates to modified release dosage forms such as modified release pharmaceutical compositions. More particularly, this invention relates to modified release dosage forms having a two-portion shell for delivering one or more active ingredients in a controlled or delayed manner upon contacting of the dosage form with a liquid medium.
- Modified release pharmaceutical dosage forms have long been used to optimize drug delivery and enhance patient compliance, especially by reducing the number of doses of medicine the patient must take in a day.
- a drug one particularly preferred type of active ingredient
- the rate at which an orally delivered pharmaceutical active ingredient reaches its site of action in the body depends on a number of factors, including the rate and extent of drug absorption through the g.i. mucosa.
- the drug To be absorbed into the circulatory system (blood), the drug must first be dissolved in the g.i. fluids.
- the dissolution of the active ingredient is the rate limiting step in drug absorption, and controlling the rate of dissolution allows the formulator to control the rate of drug absorption into the circulatory system of a patient.
- modified release dosage forms provide a desired blood concentration versus time (pharmacokinetic, or PK) profile for the drug.
- PK profile for a drug is governed by the rate of absorption of the drug into the blood, and the rate of elimination of the drug from the blood.
- the type of PK profile desired depends, among other factors, on the particular active ingredient, and physiological condition being treated.
- a particularly desirable PK profile for a number of drugs and conditions is one in which the level of drug in the blood is maintained essentially constant (i.e. the rate of drug absorption is approximately equal to the rate of drug elimination) over a relatively long period of time.
- Such systems have the benefit of reducing the frequency of dosing, improving patient compliance, as well as minimizing side effects while maintaining full therapeutic efficacy.
- a dosage form which provides a "zero-order,” or constant release rate of the drug is useful for this purpose. Since zero-order release systems are difficult to achieve, systems which approximate a constant release rate, such as for example first-order and square root of time profiles are often used to provide sustained (e.g. prolonged, extended, or retarded) release of a drug.
- Another particularly desirable PK profile is achieved by a dosage form that delivers a delayed release dissolution profile, in which the release of drug from the dosage form is delayed for a pre-determined time after ingestion by the patient.
- the delay period (“lag time”) can be followed either by prompt release of the active ingredient ("delayed burst”), or by sustained (prolonged, extended, or retarded) release of the active ingredient (“delayed then sustained”).
- Another particularly desirable PK profile is a "pulsatile" profile, in which for example, a first dose is delivered immediately, followed by a delay corresponding approximately to the time during which a therapeutic concentration of the first dose is maintained in the blood, followed by either prompt or sustained release of a subsequent dose of the same drug.
- a pharmaceutical dosage form it is also particularly desirable for a pharmaceutical dosage form to deliver more than one drug at a modified rate. Because the onset and duration of the therapeutic efficacy of drugs vary widely, as do their absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination, it is often desirable to modify the release of different drugs in different ways, or to have a first active ingredient immediately released from the dosage form, while a second drug is released in a delayed, controlled, sustained, prolonged, extended, or retarded manner.
- a dosage form or drug delivery system
- a controlled rate e.g. sustained, prolonged, extended or retarded release
- diffusion erosion, and osmosis
- One classic diffusion-controlled release system comprises a “reservoir” containing the active ingredient, surrounded by a “membrane” through which the active ingredient must diffuse to be absorbed into the bloodstream of the patient.
- the rate of drug release, dM/dt depends on the area (A) of the membrane, the diffusional pathlength (1), the
- diffusion-controlled systems generally deliver a non-constant release rate.
- rate of drug release from diffusion- controlled release systems typically follows first order kinetics.
- Another common type of diffusion-controlled release system comprises active ingredient, distributed throughout an insoluble porous matrix through which the active ingredient must diffuse in order to be absorbed into the bloodstream of the patient.
- the amount of drug release (M) at a given time at sink conditions i.e.
- drug concentration at the matrix surface is much greater than drug concentration in the bulk solution) depends on the area (A) of the matrix, the diffusion coefficient (D), the porosity (E) and tortuosity (T) of the matrix, the drug solubility (Cs) in the dissolution medium, time (t) and the drug concentration (Cp) in the dosage form:
- the amount of drug released is generally proportional to the square root of time. Assuming factors such as matrix porosity and tortuosity are constant within the dosage form, a plot of amount of drug released versus the square root of time should be linear.
- a commonly used erosion-controlled release system comprises a "matrix" throughout which the drug is distributed.
- the matrix typically comprises a material which swells at the surface, and slowly dissolves away layer by layer, liberating drug as it dissolves.
- Another type of erosion controlled delivery system employs materials which swell and dissolve slowly by surface erosion to provide a delayed release of pharmaceutical active ingredient. Delayed release is useful, for example in pulsatile or repeat action delivery systems, in which an immediate release dose is delivered, followed by a pre-determined lag time before a subsequent dose is delivered from the system.
- the lag time (Ti) depends on the thickness (h) of the erodible layer, and the rate of erosion (dx/dt) of the matrix, which in turn depends on the swelling rate and solubility of the matrix components:
- a shell, or coating, which confers modified release properties is typically applied via conventional methods, such as for example, spray-coating in a coating pan.
- Pan-coating produces a single shell which essentially surrounds the core.
- the single shell is inherently limited in its functionality. It is possible via pan-coating to apply multiple concentric shells, each with a different functionality, however such systems are limited in that the outer shell must first dissolve before the functionality conferred by each successive layer can be realized. It is also known, via pan coating, to deliver a first dose of active ingredient from a coating, and a second dose of active ingredient from a core.
- Dosage forms having sprayed coatings which provide delayed release are described, for example, in G. Maffione et al., "High- Viscosity HPMC as a Film-Coating Agent," Drug Development and Industrial Pharmacy (1993) 19(16), pp. 2043-2053.
- U.S. Patent No. 4,576,604 discloses an osmotic device (dosage form) comprising a drug compartment surrounded by a wall (coating) in which the coating may comprise an immediate release dose of drug, and the inner drug compartment may comprise a sustained release dose of drug.
- the coating compositions that can be applied via spraying are limited by their viscosity. High vicosity solutions are difficult or impractical to pump and deliver through a spray nozzle. Spray coating methods suffer the further limitations of being time-intensive and costly. Several hours of spraying may be required to spray an effective amount of coating to control the release of an active ingredient. Coating times of 8 to 24 hours are not uncommon.

- This instrument uses a CCD camera detector, a flat diffuse light source, compares tablet samples to a reference standard, and determines average gloss values at a 60 degree incident angle. During its operation, the instrument generates a gray-scale image, wherein the occunence of brighter pixels indicates the presence of more gloss at that given location.
- the instrument also incorporates software that uses a grouping method to quantify gloss: i.e., pixels with similar brightness which are grouped together for averaging purposes.
- percent sample group setting is specified by the user to designate the portion of the brightest pixels above the threshold that will be considered as one group and averaged within that group.
- Theshold is defined as the maximum gloss value that will not be included in the average gloss value calculation. Thus, the background, or the non-glossy areas of a sample are excluded from the average gloss value calculations.
