[Advantage analysis of flow-through cell method in quality evaluation of Chinese patent medicine: a case study of Danshen Tablets].

To explore the quality consistency evaluation method for multi-component traditional Chinese medicine and establish a dissolution evaluation method suitable for the characteristics of multi-component Chinese patent medicine, this study discussed the characteristics and advantages of the flow-through cell method in the dissolution evaluation of Chinese patent medicine by comparing the impact of the small cup method and the flow-through cell method on the dissolution behavior of water-soluble and lipid-soluble major active components of Danshen Tablets. Dissolution tests were performed using the small cup method as described in the 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia and the newly introduced flow-through cell method(closed-loop method) with water solution containing 0.5% SDS as dissolution medium. Cumulative dissolution curves of the water-soluble component salvianolic acid B and the lipid-soluble component tanshinone Ⅱ_A in Danshen Tablets were plotted, and fitting and similarity analysis of the dissolution models was conducted to identify the characteristics and advantages of the flow-through cell method. For the small cup method, 150 mL of water containing 0.5% SDS was used as the dissolution medium, with a rotation speed of 75 r·min~(-1) and a temperature of(37±0.5) ℃, and 3 mL of samples were taken at 15, 30 min, 1, 2, and 4 h, with fresh dissolution medium added at the same temperature and volume. For the flow-through cell method, a closed-loop system was used. Danshen Tablets were placed in the flow-through cell with approximately 6.7 g of glass beads, and 150 mL of water containing 0.5% SDS was used as the dissolution medium. The flow rate was set at 20 mL·min~(-1), and the temperature and sampling were the same as the small cup method. The results showed that compared with the small cup method, the flow-through cell method had stronger discriminative power and higher sensitivity in distinguishing the dissolution behavior of the two components, and could better reflect the differences in formulation quality, especially for water-insoluble lipid-soluble components. Given that there were no essential differences in the in vitro release kinetics between the two methods, the flow-through cell method could not only replace the traditional small cup method but also better guide the formulation development and identify quality issues of formulations.

[Manufacturing classification system for oral solid dosage forms of traditional Chinese medicines (â ¡): classification of tablets disintegration behavior].

In this paper, 50 batches of representative traditional Chinese medicine tablets were selected and the disintegration time was examined with the method in Chinese Pharmacopoeia. The disintegration time and disintegration phenomenon were recorded, and the dissolution behaviors of water-soluble and ultraviolet-absorbent components during the disintegration process of tablets were characterized by self-control method. The results revealed that coating type and raw material type influenced the disintegration time of tablets. It was found that only 4% of traditional Chinese medicine tablets had obvious fragmentation during the disintegration process, while 96% of traditional Chinese medicine tablets showed gradual dissolution or dispersion. Furthermore, according to the disintegration speed, disintegration phenomenon, and whether the cumulative dissolution of measured components was > 90% at complete disintegration, a disintegration behavior classification system(DBCS) was created for the regular-release traditional Chinese medicine tablets. As a result, the disintegration behaviors of 50 batches of traditional Chinese medicine tablets were classified into four categories, i.e. ⅠA_2, ⅠB_1, ⅡB_1, and ⅡB_2. traditional Chinese medicine tablets(Class I) with disintegration time ≤ 30 min were defined to be rapid in disintegration, which can be the objective of optimization or improvement of Chinese herbal extract(semi extract) tablets. Different drug release models were used to fit the dissolution curve of traditional Chinese medicine tablets with gradual dissolution or dispersion phenomenon(i.e. Type B tablets). The results showed that the dissolution curves of water-soluble components in the disintegration process conformed to the zero order kinetics and the Ritger-Peppas model. It could be inferred that the disintegration mechanisms of type B tablets were a combination of dissolution controlled and swelling controlled mechanisms. This study contributes to understanding the disintegration behavior of traditional Chinese medicine tablets, and provides a reference for the design and improvement of disintegration performance of traditional Chinese medicine tablets.

A multi-evaluating strategy for Weikangling capsules: Chemical profiling, fingerprinting combined with quantitative analysis, quantity transfer, and dissolution curve.

Weikangling capsules (WKLCs), a Chinese patent medicine consisting of 8 Chinese drugs, have been widely used in clinic to treat gastrointestinal diseases for more than 30 years. The current "Chinese Pharmacopoeia" (2020 Edition, ChP2020) uses paeoniflorin content (≥ 1.0 mg per capsule) as the standard of quality control, but it is insufficient to evaluate the overall quality of WKLCs. An efficient and economic method for quality control is urgently needed to ensure the quality consistency and clinical effects of WKLCs. Herein, a systematic and reliable method for the rapid analysis of chemical components in WKLCs was established for the first time based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography/quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS). A total of 115 components covering 7 herbs in WKLCs were preliminarily identified by comparison with standard substances or literature. To evaluate the quality of 26 batches of WKLCs, a new method of fingerprinting combined with quantitative analysis was established, and 16 common peaks were selected to establish the fingerprint similarity model (similarity>0.90). Simultaneously, the contents of albiflorin, paeoniflorin, dactylorhin A, militarine, and glycyrrhizic acid were determined to be 0.82 ± 0.22, 2.09 ± 0.24, 1.15 ± 0.40, 3.73 ± 0.76 and 0.99 ± 0.20 mg/capsule, respectively. The transfer rates and dissolution curves of the five compounds were successfully detected in WKLCs, and the average transfer rates were 67.2%, 33.0%, 68.3%, 54.7%, and 33.7%, respectively. Notably, the dissolution profiles of different manufacturers presented remarkable differences in pH 1.2 hydrochloric acid solution. This method not only qualitatively identified the chemical components of Chinese patent medicines at the microlevel but also evaluated the quality consistency between batches at the macrolevel, which provided a comprehensive reference for the quality consistency of Chinese patent medicines between batches.

Influence of Different Particle Size on the Quality of Nifedipine Sustained Release Tablets / 中国药师

Objective: To establish a method for the determination of the particle size of nifedipine and study the effect of particle size on the in vitro dissolution behaviors of nifedipine sustained release tablets. Methods: Light scattering was used to study the parti-cle size of nifedipine API. Nifedipine APIs with different particle sizes were prepared by a portable high-speed grinder. The in vitro dis-solution curve of nifedipine sustained released tablets (Ⅰ) was determined by HPLC. The similarity was evaluated using the similarity factor ( f2) with the original drug (trade name: Adalat-L, specification: 10mg) as the reference preparation. Results: The granulo-metric conditions were as follows: the pump speed of laser size analyzer was 1 800 r·min-1, the shading rate was 8%-20% , the bal-ance time was 0 s, the media was 0. 3% Tween 80, and the ultrasonic time was 1 min. The in vitro dissolution of nifedipine sustained released tablets (Ⅰ) showed that the smaller particle size of nifedipine API, the better the dissolution was. As the Dv90 ( the particle size accounting for 90% of the total particle quantity) was reduced from 118. 781 μm to 3. 471 μm, the cumulative dissolution in 0. 25 h of nifedipine sustained released tablets (Ⅰ) increased from 11. 2% to 44. 0% , the similarity factor ( f2) compared with the dis-solution cruve of the original drug increased firstly and then decreased, and f2value was 77 when the Dv90 was 29. 823 μm. Conclu-sion: The in vitro dissolution of nifedipine sustained released tablets is improved remarkably by micronization technology. In order to produce nifedipine sustained released tablets (Ⅰ) with the same bioavailability as the original drug preparation, the particle size of nife-dipine API should be controlled within the range of 15 μm≤Dv90≤45 μm.

In Vitro Dissolution Behaviors of Diclofenac Sodium Enteric-Coated Tablets / 中国药学杂志

OBJECTIVE: To investigate and compare the dissolution behaviors of diclofenac sodium enteric-coated tablets from Beijing Novartis, Turkey Novartis and German Novartis respectively. METHODS: According to the dissolution test METHODS: in Chinese Pharmacopoeia, the dissolution curves of the preparations in various media were investigated. Whether the dissolution stage in acidic medium has influence on the dissolution behavior as well as the influence of the ionic strength of buffer medium were investigated. RESULTS: The dissolution curves of diclofenac sodium enteric-coated tablets in media of pH 1.0, 5.5, 6.0 and 6.8 could be used as the characteristic dissolution curves of the preparation. The dissolution behaviors of the three preparations after being dissolved in acidic medium for 2 h were similar; the dissolution behaviors were quite different without the dissoulution stage in acid medium; the larger the ionic strength of the buffer medium was, the faster the dissolution rate of the enteric coated tablets was. CONCLUSION: The dissolution behavior of diclofenac sodium enteric-coated tablets depends on the dissolution rates of the enteric coating and the tablet core. The RSD of the dissolution rate just after the formulation starts to dissolute is large; the dissolution phase in acidic medium and the ionic strength of the buffer medium has influence on the dissolution behavior. There is difference in the in vitro dissolution behaviors of diclofenac sodium enteric-coated tablets from manufacturers in different areas of the same group. This study may provide data support for the selection of multi-source reference preparations in the evaluation of generic drug conformance, and plays an important role in guiding the prescription screening and bioequivalence risk assessment.
