Comparative Studies on Dissolution Curves of Clozapine Tablets / 中国药师

ABSTRACT

Objective:To study the difference in dissolution behavior of clozapine tablets in four different media between the do-mestic preparations and original preparation to compare the internal quality of the tablets from various manufacturers and provide refer-ence for the drug control. Methods:Referring to the methods of in vitro dissolution test, the dissolution profiles of 46 batches of sam-ples from 18 pharmaceutical enterprises were determined in four kinds of dissolution media with different pH values, and the results were compared with that of the original drug by the method of f2 similarity factor. Results: Totally 46 dissolution profiles were drawn out. The profiles of two batches of samples from one pharmaceutical enterprise were similar to that of the original drug, which account-ing for 4%, and that of the other samples showed notable difference from that of the original drug. Conclusion:The preparation tech-nology of the tablets from domestic has great difference, which leads to significant difference in dissolution behavior. The screening and optimization of the production process in domestic pharmaceutical enterprises should be strengthened to improve the preparation technol-ogy of clozapine tablets.
