Preparation of lansoprazole biphasic release pellet capsules / 国际药学研究杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To prepare lansoprazole biphasic release pellet capsules. Methods The pellets carrying lansoprazole were directly prepared by centrifugal making-pill method, and the pellets of enteric coating and enteric pulsatile coating were adopted by fluidized bed coating method. Then the two kinds of pellets were filled by a fixed proportion to hollow capsules. In vitro dissolution method was used for the observation of the drug release behavior. Results The optimized formulation was as follows the magnesium carbonate level was 15%, the L-HPC level was 20% in pellets carried drug, the isolation gown level was 9%-10%, the enteric coating level was above 41% in enteric coated pellets, the swelling agent level was 50-60%, the controlled layer level was 50%, the enteric coating level was above 41% in pulsatile enteric coated pellets, and the drying time was 4 h in the end. Conclusion The method is feasible for preparation of lansoprazole biphasic release pellet capsules by encapsulating enteric-coated pellets, and able to obtain good repeatability and stable quality.
