Abstract:
Objective: To improve the dissolution rate of total triterpenoids from Sclerotii Poriae Cortex. Central composite design response surface methodology was used to optimize formulation of liquid-solid compressed tablets. Methods: The types and ratio of excipients were determined by preliminary test and single factor experiments. Central composite design response surface methodology was used in the optimization of formulation, with dissolution rate as the index. Liquisolid compacts powders, crude drugs, and excipients were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Results: The best prescription was as follow: Liquid ratio was 1:1.67; R value was 18.25; Disintegrating agent was 8%; The ratio of PVPPXL-10 and CMSNa was 1.27 and the tablets hardness was 40-50 N. DSC showed that the characteristic peaks of drug in liquisolid tablets had vanished, and suggested that drugs might be present in liquid-solid compressed tablets as amorphous substance. Conclusion: The formulation of liquid-solid compressed tablet is reasonable. Liquisolid compacts can increase the dissolution rate of total triterpenoids from Sclerotii Poriae Cortex, and suggest that drugs may be present in liquid-solid compressed tablets as amorphous substance.
