Experimental materials and methods, determination of physical qualities of the suppositories]. / Aminofenazon-tartalmú kúpok biofarmáciai vizsgálata. I. Kísérleti anyagok és módszerek ismertetése, a kúpok fizikai jellemzöinek meghatározása.

Suppositories containing aminophenazone in quantities of 0.30 g/2 g were prepared by pouring technology. Two kinds of lipophilic suppository masses Witepsol W 35 and Estarinum 299 have been used as vehicles. Both of suppository bases are official in Ph. Hg. VII. As ingredients ten sorts of liquid tensides in concentrations of 5% have been applied. Experimental methods have been described: compression stability, disintegration time, special penetration time and drug release of suppositories by membrane diffusion method. Results of determinations have been discussed in the second part of the publication. On the basis of experimental results it has been established that the physical parameters of Massa Estarinum 299 had proved to be more advantageous. In 5% concentrations tensides softened consistency of suppositories favorably and shortened disintegration time beneficially in the case of both vehicles. The authors think that special penetration time is more suitable for measuring "disintegration" of suppositories of high powder content at 37 degrees C than the classical disintegration time.

Ten kinds of surface active ingredients of Th. Goldschmidt AG. (Essen-FRG) in concentrations of 5% were mixed with Witepsol W 35 and Massa Estarinum 299 suppository masses of Hüls-Troisdorf AG. Werk (Witten-FRG) which are official in Hungary. According to the authors the above tensides, which have been used advantageously first of all in ointments, creams and cosmetic preparations, can also be applied in rectal preparations. In the publication of two parts it has been established that these ingredients influence physical parameters of suppositories beneficially. They always increase significantly in vitro diffusion values and in some cases with order of magnitude. Massa Estarinum 299 containing 5% of Emulgator BTO proved to be the best in case of chosen suppositories containing aminophenazone. Correlation between in vitro and in vivo investigations has shown the importance of correct selection of base and ingredient materials in biopharmaceutical work.
