ABSTRACT
AIM: To prepare the solid dispersions of angelica dahurica coumarins and measure their dissolution characteristics. METHODS: The solid dispersions were obtained by using the melted and dissolved methods with PEG6000, PVP and poloxamer188 as carriers respectively.The existing state of the coumarins in the solid dispersions were identificated by the differential scanning calorimetery. The dissolution characteristics of the solid dispersions in vitro were analyzed by HPLC method under the chromatographic conditions with ThermoC_(18)(150 mm?4.6 mm,5 ?m) as analytial column and methanol/water(70∶30)as mobile phase,using imperatorin as testing index. RESULTS: The melted and dissolved methods can be used to prepare the solid dispersions.The coumarins were completely dispersed in carrier and formed an euctics mixture with the carrier.The dissolution rates of all solid dispersion were increased obviously. CONCLUSION: The solid dispersion prepared with PVP can increase the solubility and dissolution of the coumarins.
