Biorelevant in vitro dissolution is a useful technique for qualitative forecasting of the in vivo behavior of a formulation. A biorelevant dissolution medium for simvastatin was developed with a lower concentration of surfactant (0.1% sodium lauryl sulfate, SLS) in the medium as compared with the 0.5% SLS concentration stated in the USP monograph. The slower dissolution rate of simvastatin tabl...

Colemanite is a preferred boron mineral in industry, such as boric acid production, fabrication of heat resistant glass, and cleaning agents. Dissolution of the mineral is one of the most important processes for these industries. In this study, dissolution of colemanite was examined in water saturated with carbon dioxide solutions. Also, prediction of dissolution rate was determined using artif...

Development of an appropriate dissolution method for quality control purposes requires consideration of many factors and a balance of different needs. The method is typically distinctive to each drug product because of the unique characteristics of the active ingredient, the formulation, and the manufacturing process. The method development and selection process remains subjective due to the po...

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...

Standard compendia dissolution apparatus are the first choice for development of new dissolution methods. Nevertheless, limitations coming from the amount of material available, analytical sensitivity, lack of discrimination or biorelevance may warrant the use of non compendial methods. In this regard, the use of small volume dissolution methods offers strong advantages. The present study aims ...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of the present study was to use the solid dispersion (SD) technique to improve the dissolution rates of indomethacin (IMC). MATERIALS AND METHODS IMC solid dispersions in PVP K30 and isomalt (GALEN IQ 990) were prepared using the solvent evaporation technique and a hot melt method in weight ratios of 2, 10 and 30% (IMC:PVP). Solid dispersions and physical mixtures were ...

In vitro release kinetics of three commercially available sustained release tablets (SR) diltiazem hydrochloride were studied at pH 1.1 for 2 h and for another 6 h at pH 6.8 using the USP dissolution apparatus with the paddle assemble. The kinetics of the dissolution process was studied by analyzing the dissolution data using five kinetic equations: the zero-order equation, the first-order equa...

In this study, a discriminative dissolution method was developed for Cephalexin OD (orally disintegrating) tablets 750mg. The solubility and stability of the cephalexin API was determined in ten different solutions. In that 0.01N HCl, glycine buffer pH 3-0, acetate buffer pH 4.5 and water gave good stability and the solubility. Dissolution profiling of cephalexin OD tablets 750mg of single batc...

ABSTARCT : The objective of the study is to evaluate the individual main effects and combined (or interaction) effects of Hydroxy propyl β cyclodextrin (HPβCD), poly vinyl pyrrolidone (PVP K30) and sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) on the solubility and dissolution rate of efavirenz in a series of 2 factorial experiments. The solubility of efavirenz in eight selected fluids containing HPβCD, PVP K30...

Purpose: To enhance the solubility and dissolution characteristics of ketoprofen using various crystallization techniques. Methods: Ketoprofen crystals were prepared by various crystallization technique including spherical agglomeration (SA), spray drying (SD), freeze drying (FD) and super cooling (SC). The crystallization medium used for all the techniques consisted of water and chloroform. Re...
