- Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To improve the dissolution rate of fenofibrate (FNB) by using starch source mesoporous carbon (SMC) as a carrier and achieve controlled release of the drug by utilizing double-layer osmotic pump technology to improve the oral bioavailability. METHODS: FNB was loaded into the mesoporous of NMS by adsorption method to prepare the drug loading system (FNB-SMC). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and powder X-ray diffraction (PXDR) were used to characterize the present state of the drug before and after being loaded. The dissolution rate of FNB-SMC was investigated by in vitro dissolution test, and the formulation of the double-layer osmotic pump tablets of FNB-SMC was optimized. The oral bioavailability of the self-made tablet was investigated by in vivo experiment in rabbits. RESULTS: FNB existed in the mesoporous of SMC in an amorphous state. The in vitro dissolution test showed that NMS could significantly increase the dissolution rate of FNB, and the double-layer osmotic pump technology could achieve Zero-order release of the drug. The in vivo experiments showed that the oral bioavailability of the self-made tablets was significantly improved. CONCLUSION: The combination of starch source mesoporous carbon carrier and double-layer osmotic pump technology prevente the burst effect and significantly improve the oral absorption of FNB.
