AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition which includes linaclotide, a type of drug, in combination with a special amino acid or physiological salt, and optionally a polymer. This composition is stable and can be formulated as a low-dose or pediatric medicine. The technical effect is that the special amino acid or salt helps to stabilize the composition and ensure its effectiveness over time, making it easier to prescribe and administer for patients.

Problems solved by technology

These difficulties may be exacerbated when producing pediatric formulations and other low-dose formulations of linaclotide, e.g., because the linaclotide is more dispersed and has greater surface area exposure to aqueous environments such as during preparation.

example 1

[0119]Linaclotide beads were prepared in the following manner using the components set forth in Table 1. First, a linaclotide solution was prepared by combining linaclotide, polyvinyl alcohol, calcium chloride, meglumine and water in the concentrations set forth in Table 1. The linaclotide solution was then pH-adjusted to about 2.5 and mixed until clear. Next, the linaclotide solution was layered onto isomalt beads by spraying the beads with the linaclotide solution using a Wurster process. The linaclotide-layered beads were then dried until the product loss on drying (LOD) was less than about 3%.

[0121]Linaclotide beads were prepared in the following manner using the components set forth in Table 3. First, a linaclotide solution was prepared by combining linaclotide, polyvinyl alcohol, calcium chloride, histidine and water in the concentrations set forth in Table 3. The linaclotide solution was then pH-adjusted to about 2.5 and mixed until clear. Next, the linaclotide solution was layered onto isomalt beads by spraying the beads with the linaclotide solution using a Wurster process. The linaclotide-layered beads were then dried until the product loss on drying (LOD) was less than about 3%.
