Description
TEST EXAMPLE 1
Type of the Disintegrator
The difference in the granularity and disintegrating property depending upon the type of the disintegrator was studied.
The dry formulation product was prepared in the same manner as in the after-mentioned Example 1 except for using 10 w/v % of Compound 3, 8.8 w/v % of HCO-60 (manufactured by Nikko Chemical K.K.) and 30 w/v % of a disintegrator. The disintegrating property and granularity were examined, and the results are shown in Table 1.
Further, the dry formulation was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 except for using 20 w/v % of a disintegrator. The disintegrating property and granularity were examined, and the results are shown in Table 2.
The disintegrating property was evaluated as follows: 10 ml of a 1% HCO-60 aqueous solution and glass beads having a diameter of 7 mm were added to the dry formulation thus prepared (containing 10 mg of the benzoyl urea compound (A)), and the mixture was rotated at 30 rpm for 1 hour. The disintegrating property is represented by the proportion (%) of the benzoyl urea compound (A) passed through a membrane filter having a pore size of 0.8 .mu.m.
TEST EXAMPLE 2
Concentration of the Disintegrator
The granularity and disintegrating property of the formulation of the present invention depending upon the concentration of the disintegrator were examined, and the results are shown in Table 3. The examination was conducted in the same manner as in Example 1 except for varying the concentration of the disintegrator.
TEST EXAMPLE 3
Stability
The formulation obtained in Example 1 was stored at 60.degree. C. for 4 weeks, whereupon it was confirmed that 97% of Compound No. 3 remained.
TEST EXAMPLE 4
Pharmaceutical Effect
The pharmaceutical effect of the dry formulation of the present invention was examined.
10.sup.5 of mouse lymphoid leukemia cell L-1210 per mouse were intraperitoneally transplanted to BDF.sub.1 mouse (male, from 20 to 22 g). Each formulation was orally administered 1 and 8 days after the transplantation. Each formulation was formed into a liquie suspension, and administered to each mouse in an amount of 0.5 ml per mouse. Then, the mortality was observed. The results are shown in Table 4.
The activity was evaluated by a survival rate [T/C (%)] as compared with a control group to which a physiological saline was administered. ##EQU1##
TEST EXAMPLE 5
Concentration in Blood
The formulation of the present invention was forcibly orally administered by an oral sonde to a group of two Wister male rats (body weight: 50 g) starved for 18 hours (dose as Compound No. 3: 200 mg/5 ml/kg). Then, blood (0.3 ml) was periodically sampled with heparin from the jugular vein.
The blood thus obtained was subjected to separation of the plasma and removal of proteins by using acetonitrile, and then Compound No. 3 was quantitatively analyzed by a high speed liquid chromatography using a reversed phase column (Nova Pak C.sub.18, 5.mu., 3.9 mm in diameter .times.150 mm, Nihon Waters), and the curve of the concentration in blood was prepared.
From the curve of the concentration in blood, the area below the curve was obtained by using a trapezoid formula and presented as AUC (Area Under the Curve). The respective values were obtained for all rats, and the average value and the width are shown in Table 5.
EXAMPLE 1
Compound No. 3 (20 g) was suspended in 50 ml of a 5 w/v % HCO-60 aqueous solution, and the suspension was wet pulverized (3000 rpm for 45 minutes) by Dyno-mill by using 50 g of glass beads (from 0.25 to 0.5 mm in diameter). After the completion of the pulverization, glass beads were removed by sieving, to obtain a wet pulverized formulation of Compound No. 3.
To 50 ml of the liquid formulation thus obtained, 20 g of a sucrose fatty acid ester (P1670, manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Industries Ltd.) was added. The mixture was freezed with dry ice-methanol and then subjected to vacuum drying for 24 hours to remove water. The freeze-dried formulation thus obtained was filled in capsules to obtain capsule drugs.
EXAMPLE 2
Compound No. 3 (15 g) was suspended in 50 ml of a 5 w/v % polyoxyethylene w/v % polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene glycol (PLURONIC F68) aqueous solution, and the suspension was wet pulverized (3000 rpm for 45 minutes) by Dyno-mill by using 50 g of glass beads (from 0.25 to 0.5 mm in diameter). After the completion of the pulverization, glass beads were removed by sieving, to obtain a wet pulverized formulation of Compound No. 3.
To 50 ml of the liquid formulation thus obtained, 30 g of a sucrose fatty acid ester (P1670, manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Industries, Ltd ) was added. The mixture was freezed with dry ice-methanol and then subjected to vacuum drying for 24 hours to remove water. The freeze-dried formulation thus obtained was filled in capsules to obtain capsule drugs.
EXAMPLE 3
A good dry formulation was obtained in the same manner as in Example 2 except for using decaglycerol monolaurate (Decagline lL manufactured by Nikko Chemical K.K.) in place of the polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene glycol.
