Optimizaton on recipe of rhynchophylline sustained release tablet by central composite design and response surface methodology / 国际药学研究杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To optimize the recipe of rhynchophylline sustained release tablet in order to provide a reference for industrial production of the formulation. Method With the release degree as index, the influences of single factors on the release, such as hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose(HPMC)used as an skeleton materials, ethyl cellulose(EC)as blockers and the mass fraction of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)as adhesive, were evaluated to screen the optimal preparation by central composite design and response surface methodology based on the single factor investigation. Result The optimal preparation was as follows rhynchophylline 9.5%, HPMC 19%, EC 7%, PVPP2.2%, starch61.5% and talcum powder 0.8%. The sustained release tablet prepared by the optimized recipe of rhynchophylline had no sudden release effect and the release degree in 12 h was more than 84%. Conclusion The optimized recipe is reasonable and meets the requirements of sustained release formulation, which means it can provide a reference for industrial production of the formulation.
