Title:	Pharmaceutical compositions comprising ZD6474
Abstract:	A pharmaceutical composition comprising ZD6474 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, a brittle diluent and a second diluent which is practically insoluble and has ductile compression properties.
Inventor(s):	Stott; Paul William (Wilmington, DE)
Assignee:	AstraZeneca AB (Sodertajle, SE)
Application Number:	11/596,979
Patent Claims:	1. A pharmaceutical composition comprising: (a) 4-(4-bromo-2-fluoroanilino)-6-methoxy-7-(1-methylpiperidin-4-ylmethoxy)qu- inazoline (ZD6474) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; (b) a brittle diluent selected from dibasic calcium phosphate, tribasic calcium phosphate, calcium phosphate anhydrous, calcium carbonate, calcium sulphate and magnesium oxide; and (c) a second diluent which is practically insoluble and has ductile compression properties selected from microcrystalline cellulose, starch, ethylcellulose and carboxymethylcellulose. 2. The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 1 wherein the brittle diluent is dibasic calcium phosphate. 3. The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 1 or claim 2 wherein the second diluent which is practically insoluble and has ductile compression properties is microcrystalline cellulose. 4. The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 1 comprising: (a) from 1 to 70 parts 4-(4-bromo-2-fluoroanilino)-6-methoxy-7-(1-methylpiperidin-4-ylmethoxy)qu- inazoline (ZD6474) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; (b) from 1 to 96 parts of the brittle diluent; and (c) from 0.1 to 20 parts of the second diluent which is practically insoluble and has ductile compression properties; wherein all parts are by weight and the sum of the parts (a)+(b)+(c)=100. 5. The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 1 comprising: (a) from 5 to 50 parts 4-(4-bromo-2-fluoroanilino)-6-methoxy-7-(1-methylpiperidin-4-ylmethoxy)qu- inazoline (ZD6474) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; (b) from 10 to 70 parts of the brittle diluent; and (c) from 1 to 15 parts of the second diluent which is practically insoluble and has ductile compression properties; wherein all parts are by weight and the sum of the parts (a)+(b)+(c)=100. 6. The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 4 or claim 5 wherein the brittle diluent is dibasic calcium phosphate and the second diluent which is practically insoluble and has ductile compression properties is microcrystalline cellulose.
