Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE:

In a method of accelerating the dissolution of hard-soluble lyophilized medicaments based on proteins, a magnetic body is introduced into an end container under sterile conditions prior to the lyophilization of the batch. The end container is brought into the region of a magnetic rotary field after addition of a solvent to the lyophilized batch, whereupon the magnetic body is set in motion. An arrangement for carrying out the method includes a heatable block of anti-magnetic material with one or more accommodation openings for the end containers. A rotating magnetic stirrer is installed below the accommodation openings.

Description

The invention relates to a method of accelerating the dissolution of hard-soluble lyophilized medicaments based on proteins, in particular human proteins.
Various protein preparations to be used as medicaments are stored in solid Eorm, preferably in lyophilized form, in end containers; they have to be dissolved under sterile con-ditions prior to their applieation, the dissolution having to take place rapidly and the preparation having to be protected.
So far, this proeedure has involved difficulties, since with the frequently applied manual shaking of the con-tainer with the dissolution medium foam forms, which does hardly, or not at all, subside. This foam formation is also detrimental to the structure of the proteins; for, it is known that thereby changes in the protein structure or a partial decomposition may occur. The foam formation also has the dis-advantage that the solution to be applied can be dosed only inaccurately, and air in the preparation can render the injec-tion completely impossible. In the directions for the dissolu-tion a cautious pivoting of the con-tainer with the dissolution medium is therefore mostly recommended, which is accordingly time-consuming.
The invention aims at a~oiding these disadvantages and difficulties and has as its object to provide a method by which a gentle and quick dissolution of hard-soluble solid pro-tein preparations under sterile conditions is facilitated whilst avoiding foam formation involving the disadvantageous conse-~uences describecl.
The invention provides a method of handling and accelerating the dissolution of hard to dissolve lyophilized medicament comprising human proteins, comprising the steps of, -introduciny a sterile medicament in liquid form into a container containing a magnetic body under sterile conditions;

4~

-lyophilizing the liquid in the container so as to obtain a solid lyophilized medicament;
-storing the sterile container containing the lyophilized medicament and magnetic body;
-adding a sterile solvent to said container;
-subjecting the container to a rotating magnetic field to set the magnetic body in motion; and -maintaining the magnetic body in motion by means of said magnetic field until the lyophilized medicament is dissolved.
The invention thus also covers an end container fox the hard-soluble lyophilized medicament, wherein a sterile magnetic body, advantageously a little rod of stainless or plastic-covered ferritic material, is enclosed in the batch.
The invention furthermore relates to an arrangement for carrying out the method of the invention, which arrangement comprises a heatable block of antimagnetic material having one or more accommodation openings for accommodating end containers containing a lyophilized batch and is characterized in that below the accommodation openings a rotating magnetic stirrer is installed.
A prefe~red embodiment consists in that insert rings of antimagnetic material are insertable into the ac~ommodation openings of the block, whose inner diameters are adapted to the dimensions of standardized end containers, wherein fixing means for the containers, preferably spring-loaded catches, are pro-vided in the inner walls of the insert rings.
The invention will now be explained in more detail by way of one embodiment with reference to the accompanying draw-ings, wherein:
Figure 1 is a vertical section of the arrangement according to the invention, and , i ~L829~

Fig. 2 is a top view of the arrangement of the inven-tion.
In a casing 1 a heatable block 2 of antimagnetic ma-terial, preferably aluminium, is enclosed and secured by a seal ledge 1'. The block has several accommodation openings 3, 3', 3", ~... with closed bottoms 4, 4', 4", ....
The accommodation openings have different diameters acco~na to the sizes of the containers or end containers in question.
One or more accommodation openings, in the Example that de-noted by 3, lie in the region of a magnetic rotary field.Into this accommodation opening 3 an insert ring 5 is inser-table, whose inner diameter corresponds to the outer diameter o~ a standardized end container. An end container 6 is in-serted into the insert ring 5.
According to an advantageous embodiment a fixing means 7, preferably a spring-loaded catch, is incorporated in the inner wall of the insert ring, preventing a rotation of the end container 6. ~elow the block 2 a permanent magnet 8 is fastened on a shaft 9, which is driven by a motor 10 fastened on rods 11. By driving the shaft the magnetic ro-tary field is formed within the accommodation opening 3 and the end container 6. In the end container there is the lyophilized pro-tein preparation 12, into which a magnetiz-able body, in particular a little rod 13 of stainless or plastic-covered ferritic material, was introduced during ~illing of the container under sterile conditions. The heating of the block 2 ~s effected by a heating rod 14. Part of the accommodation openings designed by 3', 3", ... may also be equipped with stirring means as described, another part may be used for dissolving less sensible preparations.

The following Example serves for illustrating the invention:
A fibrin adhesive destined for the sealing of wounds, based on human proteins and having a con-tent oE fibrinogen and factor XIII is prepared in liquid form, sterile filtered and filled into a sterilized end container into which a sterilized rod of ferritic material had previously been in-serted. Then the preparation present in the end con-tainer is freeze-dried with the rod being enclosed in the solid mass. After storage and prior to the application of the preparation, sterile distilled water is introduced into the end container with an injection syringe and the container is inserted into the insert ring, as described in Fig. 1.
Then the permanent magnet 8 is set in motion by starting the motor, with a rotary field forming which reaches into the end container and sets the steel rod 13 in motion. By simul-taneous heating, the dissolution takes place rapidly and without foam formation. During the whole dissolution pro-cess sterile conditions are maintained.
