Formula I. Trimetazidine
Trimetazidine is a cardioprotective and anti-ischemic 3-ketoacyl Co A thiolase inhibitor acting generally in its hydrochloride and dihydrochloride salts form. The active agent is available in 20 mg film coated tablet and 35 mg modified release tablet forms on the market.
Trimetazidine is a well water soluble powder in white or whitish colour. Trimetazidine is easily absorbed by the organism and its half-life is approximately six hours. Therefore, it is recommended to use 3 times in a day in order to provide an effective treatment. However, due to dysmnesia, the patients cannot take the required dose of the drug and therefore using a drug 3 times in a day reduces efficiency of the treatment and increases side and toxic effects.
In other aspect, the risks of ischemia and fatal myocardial infarction caused by ischemia are mostly seen in patients at nights and usually in the small hours. Therefore, 24 hour-sustained release active agent is quite important in ischemia prophylaxis for treatment.
The prior art recommends the sustained release formulations comprising trimetazidine. For instance, the European patent application numbered EP 1 108424 relates to the sustained release pharmaceutical formulations wherein the release is provided by cellulose or a cellulose derivative matrix. In the application, it is disclosed that the cellulose derivative matrix used in order to provide release is hydroxypropyl cellulose and its percentage is in the range of 25 to 50% in the formulations.
In other aspect, the sustained release trimetazidine formulations of the European patent application numbered EP 2200591 comprise a water insoluble polymer as the rate-controlling agent. The water insoluble polymers recommended to be used in the formulations of the invention are selected from ethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate phthalate, cellulose acetate, trimellitate, acrylic or metacrylic compounds, polyvinyl acetate or a combination thereof. As a result of the studies they conducted in the scope of the present invention, the inventors have found that use of at least one water insoluble rate-controlling agent in the sustained release trimetazidine formulations as stated in the prior art does not provide suitable release rate and therapeutic efficiency.
In other aspect, release rate of the formulations are not only affected from the type of the rate- controlling agent but also its amount in the formulations. As given in the application numbered EP1108424, use of a rate controlling agent less than 50% in the formulations is not sufficient for obtaining the required sustained release characteristics of trimetazidine.
According to this, the most suitable release rate and the highest therapeutic efficiency have been provided by using at least one rate-controlling agent minimum in an amount of 50% by weight in the formulations.

In another aspect, the present invention discloses the sustained release formulations comprising trimetazidine or a salt thereof as the active agent, at least one rate-controlling agent minimum in an amount of 50% by weight and one other excipient wherein the ratio of the active agent/at least one rate-controlling agent is in the range of 0.1 to 1 by weight. In another aspect, the present invention discloses the sustained release formulations comprising trimetazidine or a salt thereof as the active agent, at least one rate-controlling agent minimum in an amount of 50% by weight and one other excipient wherein the ratio of the active agent/at least one rate-controlling agent is in the range of 0.1 to 0.8 by weight.
