Abstract:Objective: To illuminate effects of viscosity on release of sustained-release preparations after compatibility of homemade slow-release improved accessory I and others. Method: With Chuanping extract as a model drug and dextrin as a filler,different sustained-release tablets(prescription A,B,C) with different dosage of modified accessory I(40%,45% and 50%) were prepared;sustained-release tablets(prescription D,E,F,G) with the best proportion of modified accessory I and other accessories[lactose,dextin-sugar(1: 1),starch-sugar(1: 1),microcrystalline cellulose] were prepared.HPLC was adopted to measure release rates of ephedrine,pseudoephedrine and scopolamine in Chuanping sustained-release tablets,balanced release of different component were determined by similarity factor method. Result: Torque of accessory I was less than 10%,viscosity of improved accessory I was 218.3×10-3 Pa·s.Viscosities of prescriptions A,B,C were 105×10-3,265×10-3,540×10-3 Pa·s;release finished at 6,8,10,respectively.Finished-release time of prescription C met demand,release of ephedrine,pseudoephedrine and scopolamine at 10 h were 97.21%,96.79%,94.21%,releasing factor(f2) values were 75.08,71.42,61.88,balanced release rates were obtained well.Viscosities of prescription D,E,F,G were 400×10-3,435×10-3,475×10-3,808.3×10-3 Pa·s,finished-release times were 8,>10,10,2 h,respectively.Prescription F met requirement,release degrees of ephedrine,pseudoephedrine and scopolamine at 10 h were 98.40%,97.92%,97.99%,f2 values were 74.78,74.65,74.70,balanced release rates were obtained well. Conclusion: Improved accessory I can meet demand of balanced release well.Compatibility of different accessories can affect balanced release of Chuanping sustained-release tablets.When different dosages of improved accessory I combine with dextrin,viscosity and release are positively correlated;when improved accessory I is compatible with different filler,viscosity and release are negatively correlated.
