Patent granted for a capsule delivering pimavanserin for parkinson's disease
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11648242B2) describes a pharmaceutically acceptable capsule for orally delivering pimavanserin to patients in need. The capsule contains a stable pimavanserin composition that is prepared through a dry blending process. The composition includes amorphous pimavanserin tartrate with specific particle size distribution and bulk density, along with various pharmaceutically acceptable excipients such as diluents, glidants, disintegrants, lubricants, or combinations thereof.
The patent specifies the exact formulation of the capsule, which includes 40 mg of amorphous pimavanserin tartrate, 55 mg of microcrystalline cellulose as the diluent, and 4 mg of colloidal silicon dioxide as the lubricant. Additionally, it mentions that the capsule can be either a size 3 or size 4 capsule.
Furthermore, the patent suggests an alternative formulation of the capsule that includes 1% w/w of magnesium stearate as an additional lubricant.
The patent also discloses a process for preparing the pharmaceutically acceptable capsule. The process involves blending the specified amounts of amorphous pimavanserin tartrate, microcrystalline cellulose, and colloidal silicon dioxide. The blend is then lubricated with magnesium stearate and filled into empty capsule shells.
Overall, this patent provides a detailed description of a specific capsule formulation for delivering pimavanserin orally. The formulation includes specific amounts of pimavanserin tartrate and various excipients, and the process for preparing the capsule is also outlined. This patent could be of interest to pharmaceutical companies or researchers working on the development of pimavanserin-based medications for patients in need.
