Specification

DESC:MULTI LAYERED FORMULATION AND PROCESS OF PREPARATION THEREOF”
FIELD OF THE INVENTION:
The present invention relates to a multi-layered dosage form comprising combination of potassium-competitive acid blockers (PCAB) inhibitors or proton-pump inhibitor and prokinetic agents more particularly to a multi-layer formulation comprising Vonoprazan and Domperidone pellets or granules, tablets in a capsule or bilayer tablet composition and process of preparation thereof.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:
Vonoprazan fumarate is chemically known as 1-[5-(2-Fluorophenyl)-1-(pyridin-3-ylsulfonyl)-1H-pyrrol-3-yl]-N-methylmethanamine mono fumarate was approved by USFDA under the brand name VOQUEZNA of innovator Phathom pharmaceuticals INC.
Domperidone is chemically known as 1-[3-(Piperidin-1-yl) propyl]-1,3-dihydro-2H benzimidazol-2-one.

Potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs) are a new class of medications used to treat and prevent conditions caused by excess stomach acid such as Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Peptic ulcers, Erosive esophagitis. P-CABs work differently than proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) which are the most commonly used type of acid-reducing medication. PPIs work by blocking the production of acid in the stomach, while P-CABs work by blocking the action of potassium, which is necessary for acid production. P-CABs have several potential advantages over PPIs including Faster onset of action, more effective for some conditions, fewer side effects.

Proton pump inhibitors are the most common over-the counter and prescribed medication which are generally used for treatment of various Gastrointestinal Diseases such as Gastroesophageal reflux disease, peptic ulcers, heartburn, acidity and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a gastrointestinal condition in which stomach acid repeatedly flows back to the esophagus and causes heart burn and acid regurgitation. Proton pump inhibitors used to relive GERD. Peptic ulcers are a condition where stomach acid damages the lining of digestive tracts and form sores on the lining of oesophagus, stomach and small intestines. Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is a rare gastrointestinal disorder which occurs when one or more tumors are formed in pancreas or duodenum which release the hormone gastrin causing the stomach to release too much acid. PPIs are generally available in combination with histamine type 2-receptor antagonists (H2 blocker), Prokinetics agents and Antacids. Proton pump inhibitors alone (PPIs) were found to be less effective than combination therapy. The most preferable combination with PPIs are Prokinetics agents.

Prokinetic agents are a class of medications that help regulate the movement of food and fluids through your digestive system. They work by increasing the strength or frequency of muscle contractions in the digestive tract, promoting smoother and more efficient digestion.
Potassium-competitive acid blockers for example Vonoprazan, Revaprazan, Tegoprazan, Fexuprazan, Keverprazan.

Prokinetic agents, or prokinetic for example Cisapride, Domperidone, Metoclopramide helps in controlling the acid reflux by strengthening the contractions of lower esophageal sphincter (LES) muscles and fasten Gastric emptying.

On the other hand, since proton pump inhibitors of benzimidazole compound such as lansoprazole, omeprazole and the like (hereinafter sometimes to be abbreviated as “PPI”) have a gastric acid secretion-inhibitory action, a gastric mucosa-protective action and the like, and therefore, have been widely used as therapeutic agents for peptic ulcer and the like. In recent years, potassium-competitive acid blockers have been attracting attention as medicaments that effectively suppress secretion of gastric acid, and improve instability under acidic conditions, variations in effects based on metabolic enzyme polymorphisms and interaction between drugs, which are the problems of known proton pump inhibitors. Particularly, as for vonoprazan preparations, in Japan, the efficacy of “inhibition of recurrence of gastric ulcer or duodenal ulcer by administration of low dose acetylsalicylic acid” and “suppression of recurrence of gastric ulcer or duodenal ulcer by administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug” was approved and clinical effects have been demonstrated for suppression of the onset of gastric ulcer or duodenal ulcer caused by administration of acetylsalicylic acid.

Thus, combining PPIs and prokinetic agents is a rational approach for effective treatment of gastrointestinal disorders such as acidity, heartburn, peptic ulcers, Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

US10835541B2, WO2017018473A1 disclosed the tablet containing an inner core and an outer layer, wherein the inner core is an enteric-coated tablet containing acetylsalicylic acid, and the outer layer contains a potassium-competitive acid blocker free of enteric coating.

IN202211076599 disclosed the bilayer drug composition and method for preparation thereof to prepare a bilayer drug composition by combining drugs Domperidone and itopride for treatment of gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD).

IN380409 disclosed the pharmaceutical excipient and more specifically to a universal demodulator employing probabilistic neural network.

At present, the marketed dosage form of Vonoprazan fumarate is a tablet, and no other dosage forms have been disclosed. Since the tablets preparations, the compliance is poor for patients with dysphagia, children, and the elderly; and for patients with acute gastritis and gastric ulcers that require rapid onset of action. Therefore, the development of a new pharmaceutical formulation of Vonoprazan fumarate, such as capsule, Pellet in Capsule, Tablet in capsule is of great significance for providing more therapeutic options for patients.

Furthermore, Vonoprazan fumarate and Domperidone have already been commercially available each as a single agent but combination of Vonoprazan fumarate and Domperidone is not available.

Hence, there is an unmet need in the art to develop a simple, manufacturing process of Vonoprazan and Domperidone, the present inventors have developed a robust, reproducible and cost-effective pharmaceutical composition of Vonoprazan and Domperidone or its pharmaceutical acceptable salt thereof, which provides stable product, as well as improved dissolution and bioavailability.
