Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a composition for hot melt extrusion including a drug and hypromellose acetate succinate (HPMCAS) having a hydroxypropoxy molar substitution of 0.40 or more and a mole ratio of an acetyl group to a succinyl group of less than 1.6. Further, provided is a method for producing a hot melt extrudate including the step of hot melt-extruding a composition for hot melt extrusion including a drug and hypromellose acetate succinate having a molar hydroxypropoxy substitution of 0.40 or more and a mole ratio of an acetyl group to a succinyl group of less than 1.6, at a hot melt temperature of not lower than a melting temperature of the hypromellose acetate succinate or of not lower than a temperature at which both the hypromellose acetate succinate and the drug are melted.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A composition for hot melt extrusion comprising a drug and hypromellose acetate succinate having a hydroxypropoxy molar substitution of 0.40 or more and a mole ratio of an acetyl group to a succinyl group of less than 1.6. 2. The composition for hot melt extrusion according to claim 1 , wherein the hypromellose acetate succinate has a glass transition temperature Tg of 115° C. or lower. 3. The composition for hot melt extrusion according to claim 1 , wherein the drug is a poorly water-soluble drug. 4. A method for producing a hot melt extrudate comprising the step of hot melt-extruding a composition for hot melt extrusion comprising a drug and hypromellose acetate succinate having a hydroxypropoxy molar substitution of 0.40 or more and a mole ratio of an acetyl group to a succinyl group of less than 1.6, at a hot melt temperature of not lower than a melting temperature of the hypromellose acetate succinate or of not lower than a temperature at which both the hypromellose acetate succinate and the drug are melted. 5. The method for producing a hot melt extrudate according to claim 4 , wherein the hot melt temperature is 50 to 250° C. 6. The composition for hot melt extrusion according to claim 1 , Therein the hydroxypropoxy molar substitution is 0.40 to 0.90. 7. The composition for hot melt extrusion according to claim 1 , wherein the mole ratio of an acetyl group to a succinyl group is 0.8 to 1.3. 8. The composition for hot melt extrusion according to claim 3 , wherein the poorly water-soluble drug is one or more of itraconazole, ketoconazole, fluconazole, miconazole, nifedipine, nitrendipine, amlodipine, nicardipine, nilvadipine, felodipine, efonidipine, ibuprofen, ketoprofen, naproxen, indomethacin, acemetacin, griseofulvin, phenytoin, carbamazepine and dipyridamole. 9. The composition for hot melt extrusion according to claim 1 , further comprising a plasticizer. 10. The composition for hot melt extrusion according to claim 1 , further comprising a surfactant.
