  • Publication number: 20050079217
    Abstract: A sustained-release pharmaceutical composition in a form of an orally deliverable tablet comprises as active pharmaceutical agent a compound of formula or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R1, R2 and R3 are the same or different and are H, C1-6 alkyl (optionally phenyl substituted), C3-5 alkenyl or alkynyl or C3-10 cycloalkyl, or where R3 is as above and R1 and R2 are cyclized with the attached N atom to form pyrrolidinyl, piperidinyl, morpholinyl, 4-methylpiperazinyl or imidazolyl groups; X is H, F, Cl, Br, I, OH, C1-6 alkyl or alkoxy, CN, carboxamide, carboxyl or (C1-6 alkyl)carbonyl; A is CH, CH2, CHF, CHCl, CHBr, CHI, CHCH3, C?O, C?S, CSCH3, C?NH, CNH2, CNHCH3, CNHCOOCH3, CNHCN, SO2 or N; B is CH, CH2, CHF, CHCl, CHBr, CHI, C?O, N, NH or NCH3, and n is 0 or 1; and D is CH, CH2, CHF, CHCl, CHBr, CHI, C?O, O, N, NH or NCH3. The agent is dispersed in a matrix comprising a hydrophilic polymer and a starch having a tensile strength of at least about 0.
