ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To study the antiulcer action of norfloxacin zinc(NF-Zn) METHODS:Acute and chronic gastric ulcer models were established in rats and the in vitro action of neutralizing hydrochloric acid and the MIC for Hp of NF-Zn were determined RESULTS:NF-Zn could inhibit the formation of acute gastric ulcer induced by ethanol,stress and salicylic acid in rats,accelerate the healing of chronic gastric ulcer produced by acetic acid,inhibit the secretion of gastric acid and increase the pH in gastric juice In vitro,NF-Zn could neutralize HCl and inhibit Hp with MIC50 of 0 5?g/ml CONCLUSION:The results suggest that the antiulcer action of NF-Zn may be related with its protection of the gastric mucosal barrier,neutralization of acid and inhibition of Hp
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To screen the formulae of norfloxacin zinc(NF-Zn) suspended granules using uniform design METHODS:The uniform design with 5 levels and 4 factors was employed to screen five formulae of NF-Zn and sedimentation rate,granularity,dissolubility,moisture content and taste of these granules were evaluated and scored The total score of each formula was regressed with the 4 factors by computer RESULTS:The results of regression equation suggested that the optimum formula was NF-Zn 0 2g,CMS-Na 0 25g,2%PVP and manitol 0 55g in each packet CONCLUSION:It is effective and convenient to optimize the formula of NF-Zn granules by uniform design
