Formulations are provided for the oral administration of avanafil, a Type V phosphodiesterase inhibitor (“PDE V inhibitor”), and analogs thereof. The formulations are orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs) that rapidly dissolve or disintegrate in the oral cavity. The tablets contain an absorption enhancing composition that increases the duodenal absorption of the active agent, following transfer from the low pH environment of the stomach to the more basic pH of the duodenum. Methods for administering the active agent using the dosage forms are provided. The invention also encompasses a method of selecting components and compositions to incorporate in the formulations which will facilitate increased absorption of the active agent in the duodenum and thus serve as “absorption enhancing compositions” herein. Also provided are methods for manufacturing orally disintegrating tablets to optimize the physical properties of the dosage forms, particularly hardness and disintegration time.
本研究提供了口服
阿伐那非(一种 V 型
磷酸二酯酶抑制剂("PDE V
抑制剂"))及其类似物的制剂。这些制剂为口腔崩解片(ODT),可在口腔中快速溶解或崩解。片剂中含有一种促进吸收的成分,可在活性剂从胃的低 pH 值环境转移到十二指肠的较碱性 pH 值环境后,增加十二指肠对活性剂的吸收。本发明提供了使用该剂型给药活性剂的方法。本发明还包括一种选择成分和组合物的方法,在制剂中加入这些成分和组合物将有助于增加活性剂在十二指肠中的吸收,因此可作为本发明中的 "增强吸收组合物"。本发明还提供了制造口腔崩解片的方法,以优化剂型的物理性质,特别是硬度和崩解时间。
