To study the effect of glycerin fatty acid ester (Poem TR-FB) concentrations on the dissolution rate of acetaminophen (APAP), the dissolution and disintegration behaviors of APAP tablets formulated using various lubricants were examined. The change over time in the available surface area of APAP (S(t)), which is in direct contact with solvent, was also analyzed using these dissolution data. In ...

The purpose of this study was to develop a compaction technique to enhance the solubility, dissolution rate and other physicochemical properties of poorly water-soluble drug indomethacin (IM) with different polymers. The IM was compacted with the different polymers like hydroxy propyl methylcellulose (HPMC), Kollicoat IR, Chitosan, Polyvinyl Pyrrolidone without using any binder and solvent. Pol...

The intent of this work was to study the effect of polymorphism on dissolution properties and to apply several methods to evaluate the dissolution profiles of immediate-release tablets containing alpha (α) and beta (β) forms of eletriptan hydrobromide (EH). The polymorphs were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and diffuse reflectance infrared Fou...

The objective of the present study was to develop and validate a discriminative dissolution method for evaluation of carvedilol tablets. Different conditions such as type of dissolution medium, volume of dissolution medium and rotation speed of paddle were evaluated. The best in vitro dissolution profile was obtained using Apparatus II (paddle), 50 rpm, 900 ml of pH 6.8 phosphate buffer as diss...

Theoretical calculations have shown that acidic candies may be potentially erosive upon consumption. However, little is known about the protective effect of adding calcium to potentially erosive candies and about the protective effects of saliva that cannot be fully accounted for by theoretical calculations. Therefore, the aims of this study were to (1) determine the erosive potential of acidic...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the hydrolyzation of aspirin during the process of dissolution testing for aspirin delayed-release tablets. Hydrolysis product of salicylic acid can result in adverse effects and affect the determination of dissolution rate assaying. In this study, the technique of differential spectra was employed, which made it possible to monitor the dissolution t...

Ibuprofen is a Biopharmaceutical classification system class II drug that exhibits poor dissolution rate in the gastrointestinal tract. The aim of the present study is to enhance the dissolution of ibuprofen in presence of glucosamine. To this end, different ratios of ibuprofen:glucosamine were dissolved in various organic solvents to obtain the solid dispersions of ibuprofen-glucosamine mixtur...

With the increased reliance on in vitro dissolution testing as an indicator of in vivo drug behavior and the trend towards the in silico modeling of dosage form performance, the need for bioperformance dissolution methodology development has been enhanced. Determination of the in vivo drug delivery profile is essential for the bioperformance dissolution test development and in vitro/in vivo cor...

UV imaging has recently been introduced as a method in drug dissolution and release testing. Spatially and temporally resolved mapping of drug concentrations in a 7 × 9 mm imaging area provides new opportunities for visualization and study of drug dissolution and release. This review describes the current instrumentation and principles of analysis. Pharmaceutical applications of UV imaging are ...

Irbesartan, a widely prescribed anti hypertensive drug belongs to class II under BCS classification and exhibit low and variable oral bioavailability due to its poor aqueous solubility. It needs enhancement in the dissolution rate in its formulation development. Complexation with β-cyclodextrin (βCD) and use of Crospovidone and PVP K 30 are tried for enhancing the dissolution rate of irbesartan...
