摘要:
An esterified cellulose ether comprises (i) aliphatic monovalent acyl groups or (ii) groups of the formula —C(O)—R—COOA wherein R is a divalent aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon group and A is hydrogen or a cation or (iii) a combination of aliphatic monovalent acyl groups and groups of the formula —C(O)—R—COOA, wherein the cellulose ether has anhydroglucose units joined by 1-4 linkages and has methyl groups, hydroxyalkyl groups, and optionally alkyl groups being different from methyl as substituents such that the esterified cellulose ether has an MS (hydroxyalkyl) of 0.05 to 1.00, and hydroxyl groups of anhydroglucose units are substituted with methyl groups such that [s23/s26−0.2*MS(hydroxyalkyl)] is 0.36 or less, wherein s23 is the molar fraction of anhydroglucose units wherein only the two hydroxyl groups in the 2- and 3-positions of the anhydroglucose unit are substituted with a methyl group and wherein s26 is the molar fraction of anhydroglucose units wherein only the two hydroxyl groups in the 2- and 6-positions of the anhydroglucose unit are substituted with a methyl group. The esterified cellulose ether is useful as an excipient for poorly water-soluble drugs.

A liquid composition which comprises an organic liquid diluent and at least one hydroxypropyl methylcellulose having 28 to 30 weight percent of methoxyl groups, 7 to 12 weight percent of hydroxypropoxyl groups and a sum of methoxyl groups and hydroxypropoxyl groups of from 38.5 to 42 weight percent is stable over an extended time period.The liquid composition is useful for preparing a solid dispersion comprising at least one active ingredient in at least one hydroxypropyl methylcellulose by spray-drying.Alternatively a solid dispersion can be produced by blending and extruding at least one active ingredient, at least one hydroxypropyl methylcellulose described above and optionally one or more adjuvants.

摘要:
Two or more esters of a cellulose ether, each having the same ether and ester substituents but different weight average molecular weights are prepared in a process which comprises the steps of esterifying a cellulose ether with (i) an aliphatic monocarboxylic acid anhydride or (ii) a dicarboxylic acid anhydride or (iii) a combination of an aliphatic monocarboxylic acid anhydride and a dicarboxylic acid anhydride in the presence of an aliphatic carboxylic acid as a reaction diluent in two or more separate reactions, wherein in each reaction a different molar ratio [aliphatic carboxylic acid/anhydroglucose units of cellulose ether] is used to produce esters of the cellulose ether of different weight average molecular weights.

A polymeric capsule shell of high quality is prepared from an aqueous composition which comprises (A) at least one esterified cellulose ether comprising aliphatic monovalent acyl groups and groups of the formula —C(O)—R—COOH, R being a divalent aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon group, wherein at least a part of the groups —C(O)—R—COOH are neutralized with an ammonium salt of carbonic acid, formic acid or acetic acid, and (B) from 0 to 7 weight percent of a non-polymeric plasticizer, based on the weight of the esterified cellulose ether, wherein the weight of said at least one esterified cellulose ether is at least 80 percent of the total polymer weight in the aqueous composition.

Esterified cellulose ethers comprising groups of formula —C(O)—CHR′—CHR″—COOA, wherein, R′ and R″ are hydrogen or (—S)m (—R1)n-R2, wherein R1 is a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R2 is an optionally substituted 5- or 6-membered cyclic group, m and n each independently are 0 or 1, and A is hydrogen or a cation, with the proviso that in each group CHR′—CHR″ one of R′ and R″ is hydrogen and the other one is (—S)m (—R1)n-R′, are useful as excipients for maintaining the concentration of poorly water-soluble drugs in aqueous liquids at supersaturation levels.
摘要:
A liquid composition which comprises an organic liquid diluent and at least one non-ionic cellulose ether having a viscosity of up to 2.33 mPa·s, measured as a 2 wt.-% solution in water at 20° C., is stable over an extended time period. The liquid composition is useful for preparing a solid dispersion comprising at least one active ingredient in at least one cellulose ether by spray-drying. Alternatively a solid dispersion can be produced by blending and extruding at least one active ingredient, at least one cellulose ether having a viscosity of up to 2.33 mPa·s and optionally one or more adjuvants.
