Abstract:
Objective: To reduce or avoid the volatilization loss of camphor (CA) in the industrialized preparation of cataplasm, using the inclusion technology of HP-β-CD. Methods: The HP-β-CD inclusion compound of CA (CA-HP-β-CD) was prepared by the constant temperature stirring method. The preparation processing of CA-HP-β-CD was optimized with inclusion efficiency as an index, and the pharmaceutical properties of CA-HP-β-CD were characterized by DSC, UV and SEM. The CA and CA-HP-β-CD were prepared to cataplasm at the industrial-scale production respectively, then the content of CA was determined and the statistical analysis was carried out. Results: The inclusion efficiency of CA-HP-β-CD for CA was (68.57 ± 1.26)% when the CA-HP-β-CD was prepared with the mass ratio of CA to HP-β-CD 1:3, the working temperature at 35 ℃ and stirring at 300 r/min for 4.0 h. The DSC, UV and SEM scans showed that there was a good compatibility between CA and HP-β-CD, and CA could be fully encapsulated by HP-β-CD and formed a stable inclusion complex of CA-HP-β-CD. Results of industrial-scale production of cataplasm for CA and CA-HP-β-CD revealed that the retention rate (actual content/feeding quantity) were (80.13 ± 1.05)% and (39.45 ± 1.38)%, respectively. And there was a statistically significant difference between them (t-test, P < 0.01), indicating that the HP-β-CD inclusion complex effectively reduce the volatilization loss of camphor CA. Conclusion: The volatilization loss of CA at the industrial-scale production of cataplasm was effectively reduced by the CA-HP-β-CD, which improves the utilization rate of CA and reduces the cost, and provides ideas and reference for the research and development of cataplasm of volatile drugs.
