ABSTRACT
Objective To optimize the preparation process of Tangzu Granula. Methods With the paste-forming rate and total content of paeoniflorin as the indexes, the optimal water-extraction condition was screened by orthogonal design. With hydroscopicity, fluidity and formability as the indexes, the appropriate ratio of the excipient and the formula were selected. Results The optimum water-extraction condition was as follows: 10-fold water, decoction for 2 times and 1.5 hour for each time. The optimal ratio of the excipient and the formula for preparation of Tangzu granules were two proportions of the extract and three proportions of the excipient which consisted of lactose and dextrin(2 : 1, w/ w). Conclusion The technology is effec-tive, scientific, reasonable, and practical.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the feasibility of applying extrusion-puffing technique to the preparation of Qingyin Teabag.Methods Extrusion-puffing techique and water decoction were used to prepare the Qingyin Teabag,and thecorresponding products were compared by pharmacodynamic tests .Meanwhile,a dissolution test was carried out for the monarch drug Radix Glycyrrhizae in the teabag before and after pressurizing-expansion,thus to explore the influence of extrusion-puffing technique on the dissolution speed of ammonium glycyrrhetate from Radix Glycyrrhizae.Results With ammonium glycyrrhetate as the index,T50 and Td of Radix Glycyrrhizae before extrusion puffing extraction were 20.25 min and 56.20 min,while were 7.975 min and 18.975 min respectively after extrusion puffing extraction,the difference being very significant.Pharmacodynamic tests showed effects of the products processed by extrusion-puffing technique were slightly superior to those by water decoction.Conclusion It is feasible to adopt extrusion-puffing technique to the preparation of Qingyin Teabag.
ABSTRACT
Objective Dissolution test was applied to study the dissolution rates of total flav ones from Pollen Typhae before and after wall breaking.Methods The content of total flavones was determined by UV -spectrophotometry an d Basket -Stirring Method.Results Using total flavones as the index,T 50 was 29.57min and T d was 41.28min before wall break-ing,and 41.27min and 54.26min respectively after wall breaking,the dif ference being very significant.Conclusion The dissolution rate of the total fla vones from Pollen Typhae is faster after wall -breaking treatment than th at before treat-ment.
