Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a solid oral pharmaceutical composition comprising alogliptin and metformin fixed dose combination and to a process for preparation thereof. More particularly, it relates to a solid oral preparation of alogliptin and metformin fixed dose combination formulation which is stable and easy to manufacture.
Background of the Invention
Diabetes mellitus is a group of disorders of carbohydrate metabolism in which the action of insulin is diminished or absent through altered secretion, decreased insulin activity or a combination of both factors. There are two main types of diabetes; Type 1 and Type 2:
Type 1 diabetes occurs because the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas (beta cells) are damaged. In Type 1 diabetes, the pancreas makes little or no insulin, so sugar cannot get into the body's cells for use as energy. People with Type 1 diabetes must use insulin injections to control their blood glucose.
In Type 2 diabetes, the pancreas makes insulin, but it either doesn't produce enough, or the insulin does not work properly. This diabetes occurs most often in people who are over 40 years old and overweight. Type 2 diabetes may sometimes be controlled with a combination of diet, weight management, and exercise. However, treatment also may include oral glucose-lowering medications or insulin injections.
Alogliptin, 2-[ [6- [(3R)-3-aminopiperidin -1 -yl]-3- methyl-2,4- dioxopyrimidin-1 -yl ] methyl] benzonitrile, is an orally administered anti-diabetic drug has a chemical structure which is shown in the Formula I.
Figure imgf000002_0001
Formula I Alogliptin disclosed in US 2005/261271 , EP 1586571 and in WO 2005/095381 . WO 2007/035629, disclosed alogliptin is in the form of its benzoate salt, its hydrochloride salt or its tosylate salt. Polymorphs of alogliptin benzoate are disclosed in WO 2007/035372. A process for preparing alogliptin is disclosed in WO 2007/1 12368 and, WO 2007/035629.
Metformin is antidiabetics having an orally-administrated biguanide structure. Metformin hydrochloride is a white to off-white crystalline compound and it is freely soluble in water and practically insoluble in acetone, ether and chloroform. Oral doses of metformin are generally recommended in the range of 500 to 2500 mg a day and a single dose may vary from 500 to 850 mg. It is used as single or in combination with sulfonylureas, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, or insulin.
The lUPAC name of metformin is 3-(diaminomethylidene)-1 ,1 -dimethylguanidine, has the following chemical structure of Formula II.

Formula II
It had been surprisingly observed that an unexpected therapeutic effect and especially a synergistic therapeutic effect can be obtained in the treatment of type-2 diabetes when a combination therapy comprising alogliptin and metformin are used together.
U.S. Pat. No. 8,900,638 disclose stability related concerns with the fixed dose combinations of alogliptin and metformin when alogliptin was combined with metformin.
It was observed that the fixed dose combination of alogliptin and metformin was not chemically stable as the primary and tertiary amino group of alogliptin show incompatibilities, degradation problems or extraction problems.
US2018235966 patent application discloses pharmaceutical compositions comprising alogliptin and metformin with suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipient/s by one or more processes selected from direct compression, dry granulation and wet granulation. In this application, more process steps are used with the use of excess excipients. In the prior art, there is the combination comprising alogliptin and metformin, the combination uses many ways to overcome the described above the problems. For example; using a bilayer tablet or multilayer tablet or adding unnecessary excipients. But the process and formulation described in the prior art are complex, time consuming and costs are high.
There is still a need for a physically and chemically stable composition.
In the present invention, physically and chemically stable pharmaceutical composition comprising alogliptin and metformin has been found surprisingly overcomes the above- mentioned problems.
Detailed Description of the Invention
The main object of the present invention is to obtain a solid oral pharmaceutical composition comprising stable and compatible combination of alogliptin and metformin with a desired dissolution and stability.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an easy and cost-effective process for the preparation of the said pharmaceutical composition.
The term "alogliptin" as used throughout the specification refers to not only alogliptin, but also its other pharmaceutically acceptable salt, pharmaceutically acceptable solvates, pharmaceutically acceptable hydrates, pharmaceutically acceptable enantiomers, pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives, pharmaceutically acceptable polymorphs and pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs thereof.
The term "metformin" as used throughout the specification refers to not only metformin, but also its other pharmaceutically acceptable salt, pharmaceutically acceptable solvates, pharmaceutically acceptable hydrates, pharmaceutically acceptable enantiomers, pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives, pharmaceutically acceptable polymorphs and pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs thereof.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the solid oral pharmaceutical composition comprises;
-a first formulation comprising alogliptin free base or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof and at least one polymer,
-a second formulation comprising metformin free base or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof and at least one polymer,
wherein the formulations are present as a single granulated mass. The term ‘single granulated mass’ means that the first formulation and the second formulation are granulated together.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, alogliptin is in the form of alogliptin benzoate.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, metformin is in the form of metformin free base.
Surprisingly, it has been found that the active ingredients are formulated separately with the polymers to provide the desired dissolution profile of the solid oral pharmaceutical composition.
Suitable polymers are selected from the group comprising microcrystalline cellulose, amino methacrylate copolymer, vinylpyrrolidone-vinyl acetate copolymers, polyethylene glycol and polyvinyl acetate and polyvinylcaprolactame-based graft copolymer, polyvinylpyrrolidone, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, copolymer of ethyl acrylate or methyl methacrylate, polyvinyl acetal diethylaminoacetate, polyoxyl 40 hydrogenated castor oil, hydrogenated castor oil, polyoxyl 15 hydroxystearate, polyoxyl castor oil, polyethylene oxide, poloxamer, polyvinyl alcohol/polyethylene glycol graft copolymer, cetearyl ethyl hexanone/isopropyl myristate, glyceryl monostearate or mixtures thereof.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, preferably polymers are microcrystalline cellulose, amino methacrylate copolymer, vinylpyrrolidone-vinyl acetate copolymers, polyethylene glycol and polyvinyl acetate and polyvinylcaprolactame-based graft copolymer, polyvinylpyrrolidone or mixtures thereof.
The fact that the formulations were formed into a single mass after being separately formed with said polymer completely eliminated the incompatibilities between the active ingredients. So, it provides desired stability.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the weight ratio of the second formulation to the first formulation is 1 .0-25.0, preferably the ratio is 5.0-20.0, more preferably 8.0-18.0. This ratio provides the desired efficacy of active agents.
The first formulation or the second formulation of the present invention can be prepared using standard techniques and manufacturing processes well known in the art, such as direct compression, wet or dry granulation, hot melt granulation, hot melt extrusion, fluidized bed granulation, extrusion/spheronization, slugging, spray drying and solvent evaporation. Hot-melt extrusion (HME) technology is prominent in the pharmaceutical industry. HME offers the potential of shorter and more efficient times to the final product, through reduction of the processing steps involved. HME is used to disperse an active agent in a matrix at the molecular level, thus forming solid solutions.
