ABSTRACT

The aim of the study was to accelerate the dissolution of the sustained release dosage forms using both elevated temperature and high rpm rates. Teokap(®) SR 200 mg pellets were tested by in vitro sustained and accelerated dissolution studies using USP XXIII rotating paddle method. Sustained dissolution studies were carried out for 12 h in phosphate buffer at 37 ± 0.5°C and 50 rpm. Accelerated dissolution studies were performed for 48 min in distilled water at 90 ± 1°C and 250 rpm. The results obtained from accelerated and sustained dissolution studies were correlated using both linear and linear kinetic correlation methods by a computer program. While r (2) and maximum error between calculated and observed drug release rates were found to be 0.9129 and 15.9%, respectively, in linear correlation method, these values were observed as 0.9938 and 3.6%, respectively, in linear kinetic correlation method. In vivo plasma concentration data were obtained from six New Zealand rabbits after administration of a single dose of Teokap(®) SR 200 mg pellet. Then, the results of in vivo study were evaluated with in vitro accelerated and sustained dissolution results by applying them to in vitro-in vivo linear correlations. As a result of these correlations, it was shown that the in vitro correlation plots were very similar to the plot which was obtained by the in vivo study (f (2) = 73.81-77.11). This study suggested a way to prevent the loss of time for routine dissolution studies of sustained release preparations for quality control procedures using in vitro accelerated dissolution tests. The storage and quarantine periods of the product in process and process controls in the manufactories could be shortened by this method. Calculation of the in vivo performance of sustained release dosage forms using the results of the accelerated dissolution studies may be counted as another advantage of the method.
