Objective:
To prepare sustained-release pellets of active components from Ligusticun chuanxiong by coating in the fluid-bed.
Method:
The fast-release pellets were prepared by the extrusion-spheronization process. The coating formulation was optimized with the release of ferulic acid as criteria. The micromeritic properties and drug dissolution behaviors of the prepared pellets were evaluated.
Result:
The pellets presented perfect sphericity. The obviously sustained-release effects were shown in 12 h. The coating weight gain was the major factor impacting drug release.
Conclusion:
The coating pellets show the obviously sustained-release effects.
