Abstract:
Objective: To evaluate the quality consistency of the original product ( DIOVAN ) and generic valsartan capsules ( VSC) . Methods:The dissolution of the two capsules in four media was monitored by the UV method described in Chinese Pharmaco-poeia ( ChP 2010 edition) . The f2 similarity factor approach was used to evaluate the dissolution similarity between DIOVAN and VSC and the production quality of the enterprises. Meanwhile, the homogeneity in the same batch was studied by dissolution precision and the reproducibility in the different batches were also evaluated by a similar equivalent limit method to show the production quality of the manufacturers. Results:The dissolution of VSC and Diovan in pH 6. 8 phosphate buffer medium was both above 85% in 15 min. The f2 similarity factors in the other three media ( water, pH 4. 5 acetate buffer and 0. 1 mol·L-1 HCl) were all above 50. The relative standard deviation ( RSD) of precision in the same batch was less than 10%. Among the different batches, dissolution limit value ( Q) was within the range of the upper and lower limit value of probability levels (δ) . Conclusion:The f2 similarity factor results indicate the in vitro dissolution of the reference drug ( DIOVAN) and generic drug ( VSC) is consistent in the four media. The production quali-ty of generic manufacturer is also good with promising homogeneity and reproducibility evaluation results.
