Abstract:
Objective To prepare gastric floating sustained-release tablets of Triperygium wilfordii and study its behavior of floating and release characteristics. Methods The sustained-release tablets were prepared by direct powder compared to tablets technique. The floating and release of total diterpene-lactones were used as indicators to evaluate and optimize the formulation. Then the formulation was optimized by influential factors and orthogonal design test. Results The gastric floating sustained-release tablets which was taken orally twice one day, were prepared with HPMCK4M as matrix, cetyl alcohol as floating assistant, sodium bicarbonate as gas-producer, PVP as poremaking. The tablets released 30% in 2 h, 60% in 6 h, exceeding 90% in 12 h, the release behavior of the tablets was fitted to Higuchi equation,and it was properly characterized by the drug diffusion and bulk erosion mechanism. Conclusion Gastric floating sustained-release tablets of T. wilfordii prepared has good behavior of floating and release characteristics.
