Preparation Process and Formula of Kang'aiping Dispersible Tablets / 中国药学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To study preparation process and formula of Kang'aiping dispersible tablets. METHODS: Orthogonal designs were used to optimize water extraction process of traditional Chinese herbs from Kang'aiping pills, spray drying process of extracts and formulas of Kang'aiping dispersible tablets. RESULTS: The optimal water-extraction process is established by adding eight times water of raw materials, boiling for 60 min and extracting for two times. The optimal spray drying process parameters are that the density of the liquid extracts is 1.20 g•mL-1, inlet air temperature is 180 ℃ and outlet air temperature is 80 ℃. And the optimal formula consists of 37% microcrystalline cellulose, 51 of the ratio of croscarmellose sodium and PVPP, and 0.15% magnesium stearate. CONCLUSION: Formula and process optimized by using orthogonal experimental design is suitable for preparation of Kang'aiping dispersible tablets.
