Background
Ozagrel hydrochloride (ozanimod hydrochloride) is 5- (3- { (1S) -1- [ (2-hydroxyethyl) amino ] -2, 3-dihydro-1H-inden-4-yl } -1,2, 4-oxadiazol-5-yl) -2- [ (propan-2-yl) oxy ] benzonitrile hydrochloride, has a chemical name of C 23H24N4O3.HCl, a molecular weight of 440.92, and a chemical structural formula of
Ozagrel hydrochloride is an orally active sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulator that selectively binds with high affinity to S1P receptor subtype 1 (S1P 1) and subtype 5 (S1P 5). Ozagru hydrochloride capsules, trade name ZEPOSIA, specification 0.23mg, 0.46mg, 0.92mg (as ozagru) were marketed by FDA approved us Bai Zhu Guibao (Bristol-Myers quibb, BMS) at 25 months 2020 for the treatment of relapsing multiple sclerosis. The FDA approved ozagrel hydrochloride capsules again for treatment of adult ulcerative colitis 5 months 2021. The ozagru hydrochloride capsule is marketed in the chinese lot under the trade name of hotperxiya at 1 month of 2023 and 31 days.
Ozagrel hydrochloride belongs to a small-sized, high-activity drug which is widely metabolized in the human body to form a plurality of circulating active metabolites, including two main active metabolites, CC112273 and CC1084037. The activity of these two metabolites and the selectivity for S1P1 and S1P5 are similar to the parent drug. After multiple doses, about 94% of the circulating total active is ozagrel (6%), CC112273 (73%) and CC1084037 (15%). In Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis (RMS) patients, the average effective half-life of metabolite CC112273 on a model basis is about 11 days, with an accumulation ratio of about 16. Whereas RMS patients need long-term drug maintenance treatment, metabolites with high accumulation ratios tend to accumulate in the body, increasing adverse drug reactions and possibly even poisoning. Therefore, the small-size, high-activity and high-metabolite accumulation ratio medicines such as ozagrel hydrochloride have high requirements on content uniformity and dissolution uniformity of products, and the content and dissolution difference of the preparation have great influence on the curative effect and safety of the medicines.
The prior ozagrel hydrochloride capsule has the defects of high process difficulty and poor quality controllability. The ozagrel hydrochloride capsule has small specification, and is extremely easy to have the conditions of uneven material mixing and unqualified preparation content uniformity in the preparation process. In addition, commercial ozagrel hydrochloride capsules (hot Percy a) dissolve slowly in water and ph6.8 medium, and have poor intra-batch uniformity, affecting the bioavailability, efficacy and safety of the formulation.
Therefore, the ozagrel hydrochloride capsule preparation process with simple and controllable process, uniform preparation content, quick dissolution and high dissolution uniformity is needed.

Detailed Description
The colloidal silica used in the present invention is available from the company "Shanghai", inc., model number AEROSIL 200. The rest raw materials and auxiliary materials are all common commercial products. The particle size of the ozagrel hydrochloride is D 90≤90μm,D50 -20 mu m.
The commercial ozagrel hydrochloride capsules have 3 specifications of 0.23mg, 0.46mg and 0.92mg, and the weight of the capsule content is 100mg. It is apparent that the 0.23mg gauge is most difficult to blend and is also most prone to content uniformity problems relative to the other two gauges. Thus, the present invention selects the 0.23mg specification example to illustrate the advantages of the invention and controls the weight of the capsule contents to 100mg by fine tuning the prescribed amount of microcrystalline cellulose (PH-112).

Test example 1 uniformity of mixing and content uniformity
Examples 1-7 and comparative examples 1-7 were sampled at 11 different positions of the mixing drum after the end of the total mixing process, and were ready for investigation of the mixing uniformity. The specific sampling method refers to the technical guidelines of research on the mixing uniformity and the central control dosage unit uniformity of chemical oral solid preparation.
And (3) taking a proper amount of the total mixed materials, detecting according to a method under the content measurement item of the ozagrel hydrochloride capsule import drug registration standard (JX 20230003), and calculating the mixing uniformity RSD value of each total mixed material to limit 5.0% (the research technical guidelines of the mixing uniformity and the central control dosage unit uniformity of the chemical oral solid preparation).
The ozagrel hydrochloride capsules prepared in examples 1-7 and comparative examples 1-7 and the ozagrel hydrochloride capsules sold in comparative examples 8-10 were tested according to the method under the content uniformity item of the ozagrel hydrochloride capsule import drug registration standard (JX 20230003), and the content uniformity A+2.2S value of each capsule was calculated, with the limit of 15.0 (four general rules 0941 of Chinese pharmacopoeia 2020 edition).

As can be seen from the results of the above tables, the mixing uniformity of the total mixture and the content uniformity of the capsules prepared in examples 1 to 7 were both good to the expected technical effect, and the content uniformity was better than that of the commercially available capsules of comparative examples 8 to 10.
Comparative example 1 has a smaller amount of colloidal silica than example 1, has a poor glidant effect, and is not satisfactory in improving the uniformity of mixing of the total mixture and the uniformity of the content of capsules.
Comparative examples 2 to 3 are identical in the amount of colloidal silica added to example 1, but are added in the second-stage mixing process and the total mixing process, respectively. As the particle sizes of the ozagrel hydrochloride and the microcrystalline cellulose (PH-105) are very fine in the first mixing process, the fluidity of the materials is poor, and the mixing effect is general under the condition of no glidant. Even if colloidal silica is added in the second mixing process or the total mixing process, the mixing uniformity of the total mixed material and the content uniformity of the capsules are affected.
Comparative example 4 the amount of colloidal silica added was greater than in example 1. The results show that the addition factor of colloidal silica is not as good as the others.
Comparative example 5 compared to example 1, talc was chosen as a glidant and was significantly less effective than colloidal silicon dioxide.
Comparative example 6 has a smaller amount of microcrystalline cellulose (PH-105) than example 1, and has a poor dilution effect on ozagrel hydrochloride, affecting the mixing uniformity of the first-step mixing process, and thus affecting the mixing uniformity of the total mixture and the content uniformity of the capsules.
Comparative example 7 has a higher addition amount of microcrystalline cellulose (PH-105) than that of example 1, and ozagrel hydrochloride cannot be uniformly mixed in an excessive amount of microcrystalline cellulose (PH-105), resulting in poor mixing uniformity of total mixing and content uniformity of capsules.
Test example 2 dissolution profile
The ozagrel hydrochloride capsules prepared in examples 1, 6 and 7 and the commercial capsules of comparative examples 8 to 10 were tested according to the method under the dissolution rate item of the ozagrel hydrochloride capsule import drug registration standard (JX 20230003), and 0.01N hydrochloric acid solution, pH4.5 acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer, pH6.8 phosphate buffer and water were used as dissolution media, respectively. The cumulative dissolution percentage and the in-batch dissolution uniformity (RSD/%, n=12) were calculated and the results are shown in tables 5 to 8 below.
TABLE 5 dissolution data in 0.01N hydrochloric acid solution
TABLE 6 dissolution data in pH4.5 acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer
TABLE 7 dissolution data in phosphate buffer at pH6.8
TABLE 8 dissolution data in water
The experimental results show that:
the ozagrel hydrochloride capsules prepared in examples 1, 6 and 7 were rapidly dissolved in four dissolution media, and the dissolution batch uniformity was good. In particular, in the aqueous medium and phosphate buffer at pH6.8, the dissolution rate was significantly faster than that of the commercial capsules of comparative examples 8-10, and the dissolution batch uniformity was significantly better than that of the commercial capsules. The invention can obviously improve the dissolution rate and the dissolution batch uniformity of ozagrel hydrochloride in the two media, and is beneficial to the improvement of bioavailability and the quality control of the preparation.
