Definitions
- the present invention relates to an immediate release monolithic tablet comprising a) granules comprising Metformin or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydroxypropyl cellulose and at least one more pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, and b) powder mixture consisting essentially of Empagliflozin or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, low substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose and at least one diluent, wherein said immediate release monolithic tablet doesn’t comprise copovidone.
- the said tablet has a desirable pharmacokinetic characteristic, favorable storage stability and comparative dissolution properties.
- the invention further relates to a process for the preparation of said pharmaceutical composition and use thereof as medicament in the treatment of diabetes.
- SGLT2 sodium/glucose co-transporter-2
- T2DM type 2 diabetes
- the sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) is a low-affinity, high-capacity, active sodium glucose symporter expressed at the apical membrane of epithelial cells lining the proximal renal tubule.
- SLGT-2 is responsible for reabsorbing the majority of the glucose filtered at the glomerulus. In other words, SGLT-2 accounts for about 90 percent of glucose reabsorption into the blood.
- Empagliflozin is available on the market in the form of a free base and is sold under trade name Jardiance®, as an oral tablet in 10 mg and 25 mg strengths. Further it is available on the market as a combination product with Metformin and a combination product with Linagliptin.
- Metformin is chemically known as 1 ,1-dimetylbiguanidine hydrochloride, having the following formula (II),
- Metformin is a biguanide antihyperglycemic agent and first-line pharmacotherapy used in the management of type II diabetes. Metformin improves hyperglycaemia primarily through its suppresion of hepatic glucose production and decreases absorption of glucose from the gastrointestinal tract. Metformin, belonging to the biguanide class, is the first-line drug of choice for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, in particular in overweight and obese people and those with normal kidney function. It is used singly or in combination with sulfonylureas, alpha glucosidase inhibitors, or insulin. Oral doses of metformin are generally recommended in the range of 500 mg to 2500 mg a day and a single dose may vary from 500 mg to 850 mg.
- the biguanide antihyperglycemic agent metformin is disclosed in US Patent No. 3, 174, 901. Metformin was approved in Canada in 1972 and received subsequent FDA approval in the US in 1995.
- Synjardy® is indicated for the treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus as an adjunct to diet and exercise:
- Synjardy® contains maize starch, copovidone (K-value nominally 28), colloidal anhydrous silica, magnesium stearate, hypromellose, macrogol 400, titanium dioxide (E171), talc, iron oxide yellow (E 172) & iron oxide red (E 172) as excipient.
- WO 2006/117359 A1 discloses stable a crystalline form of Empagliflozin and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the crystalline form. Additional crystalline forms of Empagliflozin are disclosed in WO 2006/117360 A1 and WO 2011/039107A1.
- WO 2016169534 A1 discloses novel forms of amorphous Empagliflozin, processes for preparing the same and the use thereof in dosage forms. These solid forms of amorphous Empagliflozin can be advantageously used to increase the chemical and polymorphic stability of amorphous Empagliflozin.

- PVA polyvinyl alcohol
- HPMC hypromellose
- HPPC hydroxypropyl cellulose
- MC methyl cellulose
- PVP povidone
- copovidone copovidone
- the composition comprising the binder povidone and copovidone, in particular copovidone, showed the best powder behavior due to high bulk density and tapped density.
- the use of hypromellose, hydroxypropyl cellulose or polyvinyl alcohol resulted in granulates, which were not able for tableting due to low bulk density.
- polyvinyl alcohol was critical with respect to manufacturability, as the risk of blocking during fluid bed granulation process has been strongly increased.
- the viscosity of HPC & HPMC granulation liquid was rather high compared to copovidone and povidone, which deemed not preferable from the manufacturing process point of view.
- the viscosity of the copovidone and povidone granulation liquid was comparably low, and the fluid bed granulation process run without any blocking problem.
