摘要:
Provided are a hot-melt extrudate excellent in uniform miscibility with a drug; and a method for producing a hot-melt extrudate capable of smoothly feeding a powder in hot-melt extrusion. More specifically, provided are hypromellose acetate succinate (HPMCAS) for use as a hot-melt extrusion carrier having a volume average particle size (D 50 ) of from 70 to 300 µm as measured by dry laser diffraction and a loose bulk density of from 0.25 to 0.40 g/cm 3 ; and a hot-melt extrusion composition comprising the HPMCAS and a drug. Also provided is a method for producing a hot-melt extrudate comprising the steps of: hot-melting the hot-melt extrusion composition at a hot-melt temperature equal to or higher than a melting temperature of the HPMCAS, or at a hot-melt temperature equal to or higher than a temperature at which both of the HPMCAS and the drug become melt; and extruding the hot-melted composition.
摘要:
Provided is a method for producing HPMCAS capable of reducing the average particle size of HPMCAS particles to an intended range without a pulverization step. Specifically provided is a method for producing hypromellose acetate succinate, comprising an esterification step of reacting hypromellose with an esterification agent in the presence of a catalyst to obtain a reaction solution containing crude hypromellose acetate succinate, a precipitation step of mixing the reaction solution with water to precipitate the crude hypromellose acetate succinate, thereby obtaining a hypromellose acetate succinate suspension, a liquid removal step of removing a liquid from the hypromellose acetate succinate suspension with a centrifugal decanter to obtain liquid-removed hypromellose acetate succinate, and a drying step of drying the liquid-removed hypromellose acetate succinate.
摘要:
Provided are a composition for hot-melt extrusion which can be hot-melt extruded at a temperature lower than a conventional temperature and therefore free of heat-induced deactivation of a drug; and a method for producing a hot-melt extrusion product which is simpler than a spray-drying method. More specifically, provided is a composition for hot-melt extrusion comprising a drug and hypromellose acetate succinate (HPMCAS) having a hydroxypropoxy molar substitution of 0.40 or more. Also provided is a method for producing a hot-melt extrusion product comprising a step of hot-melt extruding a composition for hot-melt extrusion comprising a drug and hypromellose acetate succinate having a hydroxypropoxy molar substitution of 0.40 or more at a hot-melt temperature of melting temperature of the hypromellose acetate succinate or higher, or at a hot-melt temperature equal to or higher than a temperature at which both the hypromellose acetate succinate and the drug become melted.
