Primary Examiner-Philip E. Anderson Attorney, Agent, or Firm-Burgess & Dinklage & Sprung [5 7] ABSTRACT In the production of tablets which are to undergo disintegration in use wherein the tablet components are mixed and pressed into predetermined shape, the improvement which comprises incorporating into the mix at least one inert readily volatilizable solid adjuvant, pressing the mix into shape, and thereafter volatilizing the adjuvant, whereby the resulting tablets are porous, strong, shape retaining and readily disintegratable. Volatilization can be effected by sublimation or application of 'vacuum. The adjuvant preferably comprises urethane, urea, ammonium carbonate, ammonium bicarbonate, hexamethylene-tetramine, benzoic acid, phthalic anhydride, naphthalene or camphor present in about 5 to 50 percent, especially about 10 to 30 percent, by weight of the total tablet mix.
13Claims, No Drawings PREPARATION OF POROUS TABLETS The present invention is concerned with a new process for the preparation of porous tablets.
Because of the ease of handling and the simplicity of dosing, not only pharmaceutical tablets but also reagent tablets are used to an ever increasing extent for diagnostic and analytical purposes. Most active materials and reagents cannot be tabletted by themselves since they form hard tablets which do not readily break down and, in addition, in many cases, tend to stick in the presses used.
Tablets which break down quickly are only obtained by the addition of disintegration agents, such as carboxymethyl-cellulose, starch or the like; filling materials, such as lactose, phosphates or the like; and lubricants, such as talc, stearic acid, paraffin or the like. Whereas it is simple to find suitable, physiologically compatible adjuvants for pharmaceuticals, reagent tablets which, generally speaking, are to give optically clear solutions, cannot be produced or can only be produced with difficulty in this manner. In particular, the lubricants which are generally used and which are intended to prevent the adherence of the tablet masses in the presses used are mostly insoluble in water. It has, therefore, been suggested to press together adhesive reagents with very large amounts of readily tablettable fillers or to use very high pressures for the pressing. However, both processes are unsatisfactory since the tablets formed are either unnecessarily large or are too hard and difficult to break down.
Another known process gives so-called molded tablets." In this case, the tablet components are formed into a paste with water or an organic solvent, in which at least one of the components partially dissolves, to give a stiff slurry which is formed in special machines to give tablets, whereafter the tablets are carefully dried. Upon evaporation of the solvent, the substances dissolved therein adhere the undissolved particles, whereby the tablets receive their strength; at the same time, small hollow spaces are formed into which solvents can again penetrate when the tablets are dropped into liquid. Although these tablets are satisfactory with respect to speed of dissolution they are frequently too soft and brittle due to the presence of very fine canals so that difficulties arise in packing and transport. Furthermore, the use of the process is limited due to the fact that many reagents, especially enzymes and indicators, are damaged by solvents, and organic solvent vapors necessitate special safety precautions during the production of the tablets.
It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a process which permits the production of readily dissolved, porous tablets in conventional tablet presses, without having to add lubricants, explosive agents or solvents.
In accordance with the present invention the conventional process of mixing tablet components and pressing the mix into predetermined shape is modified by incorporating into the mix at least one inert readily volatilizable solid adjuvant, pressing the mix into shape, and thereafter volatilizing the adjuvant, whereby the resulting tablets are porous, strong, shape retaining and readily disintegratable.
Due to the hard pressing in conventional tabletting machines, there are formed tablets of great mechanical stability and, at the same time, the addition of sparingly soluble lubricants is unnecessary. Since the pressed tablets, in contradistinction to molded tablets, are
form-stable, they no longer shrink upon removal of the adjuvant. Therefore, when the adjuvant is removed, it
5 leaves behind comparatively large hollow spaces and canals, through which solvent can penetrate.
As adjuvants, there can be used, in principle, all readily sublimable materials or materials which can readily be converted into gaseous decomposition products and which are readily tablettable and do not react with the other components of the tablets. By way of example, there may be mentioned urethane, urea, ammonium carbonate and bicarbonate, hexamethylenetetramine, benzoic acid, phthalic anhydride, naphthalene and camphor, urethane being especially preferred.
The tablet masses for water-soluble reagent tablets and pharmaceutical tablets can, in addition to one or more active materials, contain conventional soluble carrier materials, for example sodium chloride, potassium chloride, borax, phosphates, oligosaccharides, polyethylene glycols, tensides and other appropriate inorganic and organic materials. The volatile solid adjuvants can account for about 5 50 percent and preferably about -30 percent of the total tablet mass. it being understood that in the case of a high proportion of adjuvant there are formed comparatively large hollow spaces and thus tablets which break down more quickly but are also more brittle than in the case of using a small proportion of adjuvant. Although the adjuvants can be completely removed, the production time for the new tablets according to the present invention is shortened when the adjuvants are allowed to remain behind in the tablets in trace amounts, for example of less than about 1% by weight.
Where the tablet components are of sufficient ther' mal stability, the adjuvants can be removed by simple heating of the tablets above the sublimation or decomposition point. In the case of sensitive tablet components, for example of enzymes, it is advantageous to work in a vacuum, the conventional freeze drying plants with condensation separator having proved to be especially advantageous for this purpose.
The following Examples are given for the purpose of illustrating the present invention:
