ABSTRACT

The main objective of this study was to prepare sustained release metformin hydrochloride microcapsules by the Wurster fluidized bed and to obtain the optimized coating process and formulation. Fine microcapsules without agglomeration were obtained in a continuous coating process with the atomization air pressure of 0.2Mpa and an appropriate coating speed temperature. With other design variables of coating process fixed, the effects of different fluidizing air volume, coating temperature, coating speed, coating material, coating materials amount, plasticizer type and plasticizer amount on drug release were investigated respectively. Coating solution was achieved by dissolving EC45cps of 21 g, EC100cps of 7 g, DBS of 2.8 g and talcum powder of 8 g in ethanol to get a final volume of 500 ml. Particles of 150g along with 500mL coating solution would be fine. The results showed that with the air volume of 35 m3·h-1, coating temperature of 35o, coating speed of 6 mL·min-1 and proper amount of coating solution, fine microcapsules were obtained. The mean diameter of the microcapsules obtained eventually were 213 micro m and the drug content were 23%, which was suitable for producing a suspension. Particle diameter distribution corresponded to the normal distribution and obviously prolonged drug-release was achieved

Acute toxicity study and general pharmacological studies were conducted on the pH sensitive ion exchange resin microsphere we prepared. The general pharmacological studies consist of the effects of the pH sensitive ion exchange resin microsphere on the nervous system of mice, the functional coordination of mice, the hypnosis of mice treated with nembutal at subliminal dose, the autonomic activities of tested mice, and the heart rate, blood pressure, ECG and breathing of the anesthetic cats. The LD50 of pH sensitive ion exchange resin microsphere after oral administration was more than 18.84 g kg[-1]. Mice were orally administered with 16 mg kg[-1], 32 mg kg[-1] and 64 mg kg[-1] of pH sensitive ion exchange resin microsphere and there was no significant influence on mice nervous system, general behavior, function coordination, hypnotic effect treated with nembutal at subliminal dose and frequency of autonomic activities. Within the 90 min after 5 mg kg[-1], 10 mg kg[-1], 20 mg kg[-1] pH sensitive ion exchange resin microsphere was injected to cat duodenum, the heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and ECG of the cats didn't make significant changes in each experimental group compared with the control group.

ABSTRACT

To increase the dissolution rate and extent of valsartan, valsartan nanosuspensions have been prepared. Controlled precipitation assisted with sonication is utilized to prepare valsartan nanosuspensions, the concentration of the drug, stabilizer and costablizer had a great effect on the stability of the preparation according to the pre-experiment. So the method of central composite design-response surface is used to optimize the prescription based on the above three factors and the particle size as the response value. The software Origin 8.0 is used to draw the view of the three-dimensional effects and 2D contour map, to get the optimal prescription area. Valsartan nanosuspensions were prepared. The mean diameter and zeta potential are about 216.6 nm and -57.7 mV, respectively. Compared with the microsuspensions and commercial preparation, the dissolution of valsartan nanosuspensions was faster and the bioavailability can be enhanced to some extent.

ABSTRACT

To study the in situ intestinal absorption kinetics of flrubiprofen in rats, the absorption of flurbiprofen in small intestine (duodenum, jejunum and ileum) and colon of rats was investigated using in situ single-pass perfusion method and the drug content was measured by HPLC. The effects of drug concentration on the intestinal absorption were investigated. The K(a) and P(app) values of flurbiprofen in the small intestine and colon had no significant difference (P > 0.05). Drug concentration (4.0, 10.0 and 16.0 mg x L(-1)) had no significant influence on the K(a) values (P > 0.05). However, when concentration was 4.0 mg x L(-1) and 10.0 mg x L(-1), significant effect on the P(app) values (P 0.05). The K(a) and P(app) values of flurbiprofen on the perfusion flow rate had significant difference (P < 0.05). Flurbiprofen could be absorbed at all segments of the intestine in rats and had no special absorption window. The absorption of flurbiprofen complies with the facilitated diffusion in the general intestinal segments, and accompany with the cytopsistransport mechanism probably. The perfusion flow rate had significant effect on the K(a) and P(app).

ABSTRACT

The anti-tumor activity of folate receptor targeting docetaxel-loaded membrane-modified liposomes (FA-PDCT-L) was investigated in vitro and in vivo. FA-PDCT-L was prepared by organic solvent injection method. Transmission electron microscope, dynamic light scattering and electrophoretic light scattering were employed to study the physicochemical parameters of FA-PDCT-L. The inhibitory effects of docetaxel injection (DCT-I), non-modified DCT liposomes (DCT-L) and FA-PDCT-L on the growth of MCF-7 and A-549 cells at different incubation times were detected by CCK-8 assay; and the hemolytic test was employed in vitro. Tumor mice were randomized into 4 groups: DCT-I, DCT-L, FA-PDCT-L and control group (normal saline), and given drugs at 10 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1) through tail vein. The tumor volume, mice weight, inhibition rate of tumor and life span were measured at the end of experiments. The IC50 of the FA-PDCT-L for MCF-7 and A549 cell lines were significantly lower than that of DCT-I and DCT-L, without hemolysis reaction observed. Compared with control group, the weights of tumor in DCT-I, DCT-L and FA-PDCT-L were decreased, especially for FA-PDCT-L, with inhibitory rates at 79.03 % (P < 0.05). The life span and median survival time of FA-PDCT-L treated mice were significantly higher than that of DCT-I and DCT-L. In conclusion, FA-PDCT-L shows a good anti-tumor activity, indicating that it is potential carriers for DCT in the treatment of tumor.

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to design push-pull osmotic pump (PPOP) tablets of famotidine using the expert system for the formulation design of osmotic pump of poor water-soluble drug which had been established by the authors. Firstly, the parameters which were requisite of the system input were obtained from literatures and experimental tests. Then the parameters were input into the system, and the program was run. The system displayed the designed formulations sequential. Finally, famotidine PPOP was prepared according to the designed formulations and the in vitro dissolution was carried out. It was found out that the target formulation of famotidine PPOP which could release for 24 hours was obtained in a very short period. Meanwhile, the practicability of the established expert system was proved.

ABSTRACT

Pure and drug hydrophilic matrix tablets were prepared by direct compression method with theophylline as a model drug. The characteristics of four hydrophilic matrix polymers, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), polyethylene oxide (PEO), sodium alginate (NaAlg) and xanthan gum (XG), were compared by investigating the water absorption, swelling, erosion and gel layer strength. The sequence of water absorption rate was XG >> NaAlg (H) > PEO > NaAlg (L) >> HPMC; The sequence of swelling index was XG >> PEO >> HPMC >> NaAlg; The sequence of erosion rate was NaAlg (L) > NaAlg (H) >> PEO80 > PEO200 > PEO300 > XG approximately PEO400 approximately K4M > K15M > PEO600 approximately K100M; The sequence of the gel layer strength was PEO > HPMC > XG >> NaAlg. For the PEO and HPMC matrix tablets, with the polymer molecular weight increased, the drug release mechanism was gradually transferred from mainly depending on the erosion to the diffusion; for SAL matrix tablets, the drug release mainly depends on erosion mechanism; and for XG matrix tablets, the drug release mainly depends on non-Fick diffusion mechanism. Comparison of the performance difference between the polymer materials will contribute to rational design and prediction of drug release behaviors from matrix tables and ultimately to achieve clinical needs.
