Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明はアセトアミノフェンを含有する安定な水性医薬組成物に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
アセトアミノフェン(パラセタモールと呼ばれる場合もある)は成人はもちろん小児に対しても安全に使用できる有用なパラアミノフェノール系の解熱鎮痛剤であり、頭痛、筋肉痛、月経痛、歯痛、歯科治療後の疼痛などの鎮痛及び急性上気道炎における解熱や鎮痛に汎用されている。アセトアミノフェンは通常は経口投与で用いられ、錠剤のほか、液剤としてシロップ剤が用いられている(例えば小児用解熱剤として「カロナールシロップ」(昭和薬品化工株式会社製造販売)が提供されており、マレイン酸クロルフェニラミン、無水カフェインなどの薬剤も含む総合感冒剤としては「LLシロップ」(和光堂株式会社販売)、「レパロンシロップ」(大洋薬品工業株式会社製造販売)などが用いられている)。また、ヨーロッパ諸国、特にフランス国では軽度から中等度の急性疼痛と発熱の治療に静脈注射剤として使用されている。
【0003】
しかしながら、アセトアミノフェンは水溶液中で不安定であり、加水分解して橙色から褐色に着色してしまうという問題がある(例えば、薬局, Vol.29, 1161, 1978; Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Vol.50, 113, 1961)。水溶液におけるアセトアミノフェンの安定性を改善すべく鋭意研究が行われているが(例えば、Journal of Clinical Pharmacy and Therapeutics, Vol.17, 107, 1992)、着色などの問題を十分に解決できる安定化剤は提供されていない。例えば、アセトアミノフェンと安定剤として遊離ラジカル捕集剤とを含む液体組成物が提案されているが(特表平11−514013号公報)、この液体組成物の安定性も満足すべきものとは言えない。
【0004】
一方、ピロ亜硫酸ナトリウムはメタ重亜硫酸ナトリウムとも呼ばれ、医薬品添加物事典(薬事日報社発行、2000年)には安定(化)剤、抗酸化剤としての記載がある。しかしながら、ピロ亜硫酸ナトリウムなどのピロ亜硫酸塩類がアセトアミノフェンの水溶液での不安定性を改善できることは従来知られていない。特開2002−30054号公報には、アセトアミノフェンの製造工程においてN−メチル−p−ヒドロキシベンズアルデヒドの生成を抑制するためにピロ亜硫酸ナトリウムが用いられているが、この刊行物にはピロ亜硫酸ナトリウムがアセトアミノフェン自体を安定化することは示唆ないし教示されていない。特開平11−209288号公報にはメキタジン水溶液の安定性を高めるためにアセトアミノフェン及びピロ亜硫酸塩などから選ばれる物質をメキタジン液製剤に配合することが開示されているが、この刊行物にもピロ亜硫酸塩類がアセトアミノフェンを安定化することは示唆ないし教示されていない。

【発明が解決しようとする課題及び課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、アセトアミノフェンを有効成分として含む水溶液を安定化する手段を提供することを課題としている。本発明者らは上記の課題を解決すべく鋭意研究を行ない、種々の安定化剤や抗酸化剤をアセトアミノフェンの水溶液に添加して安定化作用を検討していたが、種々の亜硫酸塩類のなかでも特にピロ亜硫酸塩類がアセトアミノフェンに対して極めて優れた安定化作用を有していることを発見した。亜硫酸塩類は抗酸化剤あるいは安定化剤として医薬の製造に汎用されているが、例えば亜硫酸ナトリウムはアセトアミノフェンに対してほとんど安定化作用を有していない。従って、亜硫酸塩類のうちピロ亜硫酸塩類が特異的にアセトアミノフェンを安定化できることは極めて驚くべきことである。本発明は上記の知見を基にして完成された。
【0006】
すなわち、本発明は、アセトアミノフェン及びピロ亜硫酸塩類を含む水性の医薬組成物を提供するものである。この水溶液は長期保存においても安定であり、着色などの品質劣化が生じないという優れた効果を有している。
本発明の好ましい態様によれば、注射剤の形態である上記の医薬組成物;シロップ剤の形態である上記の医薬組成物;ピロ亜硫酸塩がピロ亜硫酸ナトリウムである上記の医薬組成物;及び、さらにL−グルタミン酸L−リジンを含む上記の医薬組成物が提供される。
【0007】
別の観点からは、本発明により、アセトアミノフェンを含む水溶液の安定化剤であって、ピロ亜硫酸塩類を含む安定化剤が提供される。この発明の好ましい態様によれば、上記水溶液が注射剤又はシロップ剤の形態である上記の安定化剤;及びピロ亜硫酸塩がピロ亜硫酸ナトリウムである上記の安定化剤が提供される。さらに別の観点からは、アセトアミノフェンを含む水溶液の安定化方法であって、上記水溶液にピロ亜硫酸塩類を添加する工程を含む方法が本発明により提供される。この発明の好ましい態様によれば、上記水溶液が注射剤又はシロップ剤の形態である上記の方法;及びピロ亜硫酸塩がピロ亜硫酸ナトリウムである上記の方法が提供される。
【0008】

【0011】
本発明の医薬組成物の調製にあたっては、医薬組成物の製造に通常用いられる製剤添加物の1種又は2種以上を用いることができる。本明細書において「水性」という用語は医薬組成物を構成する液状媒体が水を含んでいることを意味しており、通常は液状媒体の大部分又は全体が水からなる。水以外の液状媒体としては、エチレングリコール、プロピレングリコール、又はポリエチレングリコールなどのグリコール類、グリセリン、エタノールなどのアルコール類などを用いることができるが、これらに限定されることはない。液状媒体としては、蒸留水や注射用蒸留水のほか、生理食塩水又は緩衝液などを用いることもできる。本発明の医薬組成物に用いられる製剤用添加物としては、例えば、pH調節剤(無機又は有機の酸又は塩基など),等張化剤(塩化ナトリウム、ブドウ糖、グリセリンなど)、甘味剤などの矯味剤などを用いることができるが、これらに限定されることはなく、医薬組成物の形態に応じて当業者が適宜選択可能である。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to stable aqueous pharmaceutical compositions containing acetaminophen.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Acetaminophen (sometimes called paracetamol) is a useful para-aminophenol-based antipyretic analgesic that can be used safely in adults as well as children, and is useful for treating headache, muscle pain, menstrual pain, toothache, and dental treatment. It is widely used for analgesia such as pain and antipyretic and analgesic in acute upper respiratory inflammation. Acetaminophen is usually used for oral administration, and in addition to tablets, syrups are used as liquids (for example, "Caronal Syrup" (manufactured and sold by Showa Yakuhin Kako Co., Ltd.) is provided as a pediatric antipyretic, "LL Syrup" (manufactured and sold by Wakodo Co., Ltd.) and "Repalon Syrup" (manufactured and sold by Taiyo Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) are used as general cold remedies including drugs such as chlorpheniramine maleate and anhydrous caffeine. ). In Europe, especially France, it is used as an intravenous injection for the treatment of mild to moderate acute pain and fever.
[0003]
However, acetaminophen is unstable in an aqueous solution, and has a problem that it is hydrolyzed and colored from orange to brown (for example, Pharmacy, Vol. 29, 1161, 1978; Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Vol. 50, 113, 1961). Efforts have been made to improve the stability of acetaminophen in an aqueous solution (for example, Journal of Clinical Pharmacy and Therapeutics, Vol. 17, 107, 1992), but stabilization capable of sufficiently solving problems such as coloring. No agent was provided. For example, a liquid composition containing acetaminophen and a free radical scavenger as a stabilizer has been proposed (Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 11-514013). However, the stability of the liquid composition is not satisfactory. I can not say.
[0004]
On the other hand, sodium metabisulfite is also called sodium metabisulfite, and is described as a stabilizing (stabilizing) agent and an antioxidant in the Pharmaceutical Excipients Dictionary (published by Yakuji Nippo, 2000). However, it has not been known that pyrosulfites such as sodium pyrosulfite can improve the instability of acetaminophen in an aqueous solution. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-30054 uses sodium pyrosulfite to suppress the production of N-methyl-p-hydroxybenzaldehyde in the process of producing acetaminophen. Does not suggest or teach stabilizing acetaminophen itself. JP-A-11-209288 discloses that a substance selected from acetaminophen and pyrosulfite is added to a mequitazine liquid preparation in order to enhance the stability of an aqueous solution of mequitazine. It is not suggested or taught that pyrosulfites stabilize acetaminophen.
[Patent Document 1] JP-A-2002-30054 [Patent Document 2] JP-A-11-209288 [0005]
Problems to be Solved by the Invention and Means for Solving the Problems
An object of the present invention is to provide a means for stabilizing an aqueous solution containing acetaminophen as an active ingredient. The present inventors have conducted intensive studies to solve the above-mentioned problems, and studied the stabilizing action by adding various stabilizers and antioxidants to an aqueous solution of acetaminophen. Among them, it has been discovered that pyrosulfites have an extremely excellent stabilizing effect on acetaminophen. Sulfites are widely used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals as antioxidants or stabilizers. For example, sodium sulfite has almost no stabilizing effect on acetaminophen. Accordingly, it is extremely surprising that pyrosulfites among sulfites can specifically stabilize acetaminophen. The present invention has been completed based on the above findings.
[0006]
That is, the present invention provides an aqueous pharmaceutical composition containing acetaminophen and pyrosulfites. This aqueous solution is stable even during long-term storage, and has an excellent effect that quality deterioration such as coloring does not occur.
According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned pharmaceutical composition in the form of an injection; the above-mentioned pharmaceutical composition in the form of a syrup; the above-mentioned pharmaceutical composition, wherein the pyrosulfite is sodium pyrosulfite; Further provided is the above pharmaceutical composition comprising L-glutamic acid L-lysine.
[0007]
In another aspect, the present invention provides a stabilizer for an aqueous solution containing acetaminophen, which contains pyrosulfites. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, there is provided the above stabilizer, wherein the aqueous solution is in the form of an injection or syrup; and the above stabilizer, wherein the pyrosulfite is sodium pyrosulfite. From yet another aspect, the present invention provides a method for stabilizing an aqueous solution containing acetaminophen, the method including a step of adding pyrosulfites to the aqueous solution. According to a preferred aspect of the present invention, there is provided the above method, wherein the aqueous solution is in the form of an injection or syrup; and the above method, wherein the pyrosulfite is sodium pyrosulfite.
[0008]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is an aqueous pharmaceutical composition, and is characterized by containing acetaminophen as an active ingredient and pyrosulfites as a stabilizer for acetaminophen. Acetaminophen [N- (4-hydroxyphenyl) acetamide] is a drug listed in the 14th revised Japanese Pharmacopoeia and is a drug that can be easily obtained. As the pyrosulfite, sodium pyrosulfite or potassium pyrosulfite can be used, but from the viewpoint of safety as a pharmaceutical additive, sodium pyrosulfite listed in the 14th revised Japanese Pharmacopoeia is used. Is preferred. Sodium pyrosulfite is widely used as a pharmaceutical additive or a food additive, and a commercially available product can be easily obtained (for example, Pharmaceutical Excipients Dictionary, edited by the Japan Pharmaceutical Excipients Association, published by Yakuji Nippo pp. 217-218 in 2000) Standards and trade names for pharmaceutical excipients are listed).
[0009]
The concentration of the active ingredient in the aqueous solution containing acetaminophen as an active ingredient is not particularly limited, but is, for example, about 0.1 to 5% by weight, and for example, when prepared as an injection, about 0.1 to 2% by weight. When prepared as a syrup for oral administration, the content is about 0.1 to 4% by weight. The amount of the pyrosulfite added to acetaminophen is, for example, about 0.01 to 0.1 part by weight, preferably about 0.03 to 0.1 part by weight, based on 1 part by weight of acetaminophen. . Needless to say, those skilled in the art can appropriately select the concentration of the active ingredient and the amount of the pyrosulfite added to acetaminophen according to various conditions such as the form of the pharmaceutical composition and the purpose of use. In addition, in order to further enhance the stabilization of acetaminophen, it is preferable to add L-glutamic acid L-lysine to the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention in combination with pyrosulfite. The amount of L-glutamic acid L-lysine used is not particularly limited, but is, for example, about 0.01 to 0.1 part by weight, preferably 0.03 to 0.1 part by weight, based on 1 part by weight of acetaminophen. It is about.
[0010]
The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention can be prepared as an injection for subcutaneous administration, intramuscular administration, or intravenous administration, or a drip for intravenous administration. It is also preferable to prepare a syrup for oral administration. Further, the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention may be in the form of a soft capsule or the like enclosing an aqueous composition. The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention may contain one or more other active ingredients of other drugs. For example, an antihistamine such as chlorpheniramine maleate or an antipyretic such as caffeine can be blended into a pharmaceutical composition in the form of an injection or syrup.The types and amounts of such other pharmaceuticals can be determined by those skilled in the art. Can be appropriately selected. The dose of the medicament of the present invention can be determined according to the usual dose of acetaminophen as an active ingredient.
[0011]
In preparing the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention, one or more pharmaceutical additives commonly used for the production of a pharmaceutical composition can be used. As used herein, the term "aqueous" means that the liquid medium constituting the pharmaceutical composition contains water, and usually most or all of the liquid medium is composed of water. Examples of the liquid medium other than water include glycols such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and polyethylene glycol, and alcohols such as glycerin and ethanol, but are not limited thereto. As the liquid medium, in addition to distilled water and distilled water for injection, physiological saline or buffer can also be used. Pharmaceutical additives used in the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention include, for example, pH adjusters (such as inorganic or organic acids or bases), tonicity agents (such as sodium chloride, glucose, glycerin) and sweeteners. Flavoring agents and the like can be used, but are not limited thereto, and can be appropriately selected by those skilled in the art according to the form of the pharmaceutical composition.

20 mL of each injection for intravenous administration prepared in Examples and Comparative Examples were filled in vials, respectively, and preserved at 40 ° C under 75% RH storage conditions for 12 days or 42 days, and the appearance was observed. The syrup was filled in vials with 100 mL each, and the appearance was observed when stored for 6 months at 40 ° C. and 75% RH. The results are shown in Table 1 (injection) and Table 2 (syrup). From these results, the composition of the present invention containing sodium pyrosulfite is extremely excellent in stability, no coloring is observed, and the composition containing sodium sulfite, which is widely used as a stabilizer, has stability. It was found that the color was poor and coloring was observed. It is extremely surprising that sodium pyrosulfite exhibits a remarkable stabilizing effect on acetaminophen, for which a sufficient stabilizing effect cannot be obtained with sodium sulfite. The composition of Example 3 containing L-glutamic acid L-lysine together with sodium pyrosulfite was stored under the same conditions for 89 days, but the composition was colorless and clear. Slight coloring was observed in the compositions of Nos. 2 and 3. From these results, it was found that an extremely high stabilizing effect was achieved when sodium pyrosulfite and L-glutamic acid L-lysine were combined.
