[Preparation and Dissolution Evaluation of Breviscapine Self-microemulsion]
Objective:
To study the prescription and preparation technology of breviscapine self-microemulsion for oral administration, and to evaluate the quality, stability and in vitro dissolution.
Methods:
The prescription and preparation technology were selected and optimized through the solubility experiment, compatibility test, and pseudo-ternary phase diagram method, using the self-emulsifying time, appearance, particle diameter and stability as indexes. The droplet morphous, drug content, stability and dissolution were evaluated. Results:The prescription composition of breviscapine self-microemulsion was caprylic/capric triglyceride(GTCC,40%), Cremophor RH-40(50%), and PEG-400 (10%), with the drug loading of 7. 0 mg/g. The breviscapine self-microemulsion exhibited uniform and transparent,with the particle size of 38. 57 nm,Zeta potential of - 8. 80 mV. The results of dissolution indicated that the accumulative dissolution in 0. 1 mol/L hydrochloric acid was able to reach 90. 30% after 90 min, being 5. 9 times to that of the raw material medicine. The stability result showed that the content of breviscapine self-microemulsion was affected by high temperature, indicating it should be stored at low temperature.
Conclusion:
The preparation of breviscapine self-microemulsion is simple, which can increase the solubility of breviscapine in water and the absorption of breviscapine in the stomach and intestine, and conform to the main indexes of oral drug delivery system. It offers the basis for further research of breviscapine.
