Abstract:
We developed a novel portable and automated dissolution test analyzer for rapid and high precision in vitro dissolution testing of drugs. The analyzer consists of a flow-through-cell drug dissolution system, an automated sequential sampling system, a high-speed capillary electrophoresis (HSCE) system, and a data acquisition system. Combining the high-temporal resolution flow-gating sampling approach with HSCE, which has outstanding advantages of efficient separation and resolution, the analyzer can achieve rapid analysis and exhibits the ability in miniaturization for on-site assessment of different active pharmaceutical ingredients. To integrate the flow-through-cell dissolution system with HSCE, a specially designed flow-gating-injection (FGI) interface was employed. The performance of the analyzer was investigated by analyzing the dissolution of immediate-release drugs including single dose (amoxicillin dispersible tablets) and fixed dose combination (amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium) drug tablets with the high-temporal resolutions of 12 s and 20 s, respectively. The dissolution profiles of different active pharmaceutical ingredients could be simultaneously and automatically monitored with high repeatability and accuracy. The analyzer was successfully utilized for the pharmaceutical quality control and bio-relevant dissolution testing, as well as in vivo-in vitro correlation analysis. Our portable analyzer is miniaturized, convenient and of low-cost, and will provide a valuable tool for dissolution testing in pharmaceutical research and development.
