Preparation of water-soluble chitosan solid dispersion of daidzein / 中国中药杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To enhance the dissolution rate of daidzein with solid dispersion technique.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Solid dispersions were prepared by the solvent method using water-solubility chitosan as a hydrophilic carrier. DSC, IR and X-ray methods were used to verify the formation of solid dispersion.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>Dissolution percentages of solid dispersions were more than 90 percent in the drug-carrier ratio of 15 and 19. But dissolution percentages of physical mixtures and pure drug were 40 and 38.4 percent respectively. Part of daidzein dispersed in solid dispersion in the form of microcrystalline.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Water-soluble chitosan solid dispersion can significantly increase dissolution rate of daidzein.</p>
