Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to an off-taste-masked oral pharmaceutical composition including a pharmaceutically active ingredient and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and a method of preparing the oral pharmaceutical composition.
- Two commercially available orally dosage forms of medicines are swallowable ones such as tablets or capsules, and ones that are solublized in the mouth such as chewable tablets or sublingual tablets.
- the former may remove or significantly reduce off-taste of an active ingredient.
- the latter may be more reluctant and less adaptable to take if the active ingredient tastes out. This may be more serious to children who are relatively less adaptable to drugs, because dosage forms for children are mostly prepared in oral liquid formulations that is unlikely to mask the off-taste, or oral tablets that are often crushed and mixed with water or syrup before being taken. Therefore, a variety of methods for blocking off off-tastes such as bitterness or sharpness of oral medicines have been suggested.
- Reference 1 discloses a cyclic guanosine-3',5'-monophosphate phosphodiesterase (cGMP PDE) inhibitor-containing composition, the administration form of which is unacceptable by patients. Thus, the composition has a disadvantage of low compliance by patients.
- References 2 and 3 disclose bitterness masking methods for drugs by addition of cyclodextrine. However, these methods have to use a large amount of excipient to at least partially reduce the bitterness of a drug, and thus, are not substantially be applicable in developing orally fast disintegrating tablet or chewable tablet which taken without water.
- References 4 to 6 disclose off-taste masking methods involving coating bitter drug particles with celluloses, lipids, polymers, or the like.
- Reference 7 discloses a method of preparing a bitter taste-masked orally disintegrating tablet containing sildenafile citrate, in which the bitterness is masked with a solubilization inhibitor and a sweetener such as aspartame.
- a solubilization inhibitor such as aspartame.
- release and absorption rates of the drug in the body may be limited by the solubilization inhibitor.
- Reference 8 discloses a solid formulation of a bitterness-masked drug obtained by mixing a bitter-tasting drug with calcium silicate, and a method of preparing the same.
- the bitterness-masked solid formulation is prepared by mixing a solution of a bitter drug in a solvent with calcium silicate, drying and powdering the solution mixture, and thus capturing the bitter drug into a porous network of the calcium silicate.
- incomplete dissolution of the drug may cause that the undissolved drug cannot be captured within the porous network of calcium silicate, thus causing bitter taste in the mouth.
- this method is not compatible with a poorly water-soluble drug and may need a huge amount of water if used along with a poorly water-soluble drug, which may take a long time and large energy during a subsequent drying process.
- the method involves complicated processes including dissolving a bitter drug, mixing it with calcium silicate, and a powdering process.
- the method is unsuitable for mass production and is not industrially applicable due to low productivity and low economical efficiency.
- due to a very low drug capture efficiency of calcium silicate into a porous network the method needs a large amount of calcium silicate.
- the use of a large amount of calcium silicate may result in low-density powder like candy fluffy, and thus, poor tabletability.
- due to the inability to use a sufficient amount of essential excipients it is difficult to formulate tablets with high pharmaceutical characteristics.
- Reference 9 discloses a bitterness-masked oral drug composition in which a bitter drug, an acidic material such as tannic acid, citric acid or acetic acid, and an alkali earth metal salt and/or earth metal salt are dissolved in purified water.
- This method involves masking bitterness of a drug that is as any of a variety of salts by inducing a kind of ionic bonding reaction in an aqueous solution with the addition of an acid material and an alkali earth metal salt or the like.
- the bitterness masking effect by ionic bonding is lost if the dissolved drug solution is dried, and thus, this method is unsuitable to prepare a solid formulation with a sustained bitterness blocking effect.
- the present invention provides an oral pharmaceutical composition with an effective off-taste masking effect that does not affect a behavior and an effect of a pharmaceutically active ingredient in the body, and that can be prepared into a tablet with high productivity and economical efficiency as well as superior pharmaceutical properties.
- the present invention provides a method of preparing the oral pharmaceutical composition.
- a pharmaceutical composition for oral administration wherein taste of a pharmaceutically active ingredient is masked, prepared by wet granulation of a mixture comprising the pharmaceutically active ingredient, at least one compound selected from the group consisting of magnesium aluminometasilicate and calcium silicate, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

- wet granulation of a pharmaceutically active ingredient along with magnesium aluminometasilicate and/or calcium silicate may effectively mask bitter taste even with the use of a small amount of magnesium aluminometasilicate and/or calcium silicate.
- a pharmaceutical composition for oral administration wherein taste of a pharmaceutically active ingredient is masked, prepared by wet granulation of a mixture comprising the pharmaceutically active ingredient, at least one compound selected from the group consisting of magnesium aluminometasilicate and calcium silicate, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

- the preparation of the oral pharmaceutical composition by wet granulation does not require drying to remove a large amount of water, and does simplify manufacturing processes to have high industrial applicability due to high economical efficiency and productivity.
- the oral pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure may have a bitter-tasting compound masked with a high masking efficiency by magnesium aluminometasilicate and/or calcium silicate, which makes it possible to use magnesium aluminometasilicate and/or calcium silicate in a small amount for off-taste masking.
