ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a multiparticulate modified release system, composed of minitablets with a sustained release matrix system coated with a pH-dependent release polymer, using mesalamine as a model drug. Polyox® WSR 1105 was the polymer used in the matrix system and Eudragit® L30D55 was used as a pH-dependent polymer. The minitablets (with 20%, 30% or 40% Polyox® concentration) were prepared by dry granulation, which led to good quality minitablets. The developed minitablets were coated in a fluidized bed at 8% of the coating level. Dissolution studies were performed in media that simulated the gastrointestinal tract (pH 1.4, 6.0 and 7.2) and showed that formulations with higher Polyox® concentrations were capable of retaining the drug release in pH 1.4. All formulations prolonged the drug release and presented zero-order kinetic behaviour. The Korsmeyer-Peppas model demonstrated that formulations with 20% or 30% of polymer exhibited anomalous transport behaviour, whilst the 40% sample exhibited super case II model transportation. Dissolution efficiency showed that only the formulations containing 20% and 40% polymer could be considered statistically different.
RESUMO
O presente trabalho teve como objetivo desenvolver e avaliar um sistema multiparticulado de liberação modificada, composto por minicomprimidos com sistema matricial de liberação prolongada revestidos com polímero de liberação pH-dependente, utilizando mesalazina como fármaco modelo. Polyox® WSR 1105 foi o polímero utilizado no sistema matricial e Eudragit® L30D55 foi utilizado como polímero pH-dependente. Os minicomprimidos (com 20%, 30% e 40% de concentração de Polyox®) foram preparados por granulação via seca, gerando minicomprimidos de boa qualidade. Os minicomprimidos desenvolvidos foram revestidos em leito fluidizado a 8% de nível de revestimento. Efetuou-se o estudo de dissolução em meios que simulam o trato gastrointestinal (pH 1,4, 6,0 e 7,2) e as formulação contendo maiores concentrações de Polyox® foram capazes de reter a liberação do fármaco em pH 1,4. Todas as três formulações apresentaram liberação prolongada e comportamento cinético de ordem zero. O modelo de liberação de Korsmeyer-Peppas mostrou que as formulações com 20% e 30% de polímero apresentam comportamento de transporte anômalo, enquanto a com 40%, transporte super caso II. A eficiência de dissolução mostrou que somente as formulações com 20% e 40% de concentração do polímero foram consideradas estatisticamente diferentes.
