OBJECTIVE:To observe the anti-inflammatory,diuretic,and antipyretic action of Miniaoning granules after improvement of its preparation technology.METHODS:The rats' feet swelling degree and the mice's ear swelling degree,the urine volume,and the body temperature action of Miniaoning granules in vitro were observed through rats' feet swelling method,dimethyl benzene-induced mice ear swelling method,diuretic experiment,yeast-induced rats' febrile,respectively.RESULTS:After medication,the degree of rats' feet swelling and mice's ear swelling were significantly attenuated,and the urine volume increased markedly and body temperature lowered.CONCLUSION:As compared with the original formulations,Miniaoning granules prepared in improved technology have similar antipyretic effect but more potent anti-inflammatory and.diuretic action.

Objective To investigate the in vivo pharmacokinetics of ligustilide in Ligusticum chuan-xiong essential oil after ig administration in rats. Methods The concentration of ligustilide in plasma of rats after ig administration of ?-cyclodextrin compound in L. chuanxiong enssential oil was determined by RP-HPLC method with the osthole as the internal standard. The plasma concentration-time curve was plotted. The main pharmacokinetic parameters of ligustilide were obtained by 3P97 software. Results Ligustilide in rats fits the two compartments model and the main pharmcokinetic parameters were as follows: tl/2(?), (1.429?1.161) h; tl/2(?), (6.877?2.275) h; t(peak), (3.401?1.951) h; and AUC were (70.87?25.92) ?g/mL?h, respectively. Conclusion RP-HPLC Method with osthole as the internal standard is accrurate, sensitive, and rapid for the study on pharmacokinetics of ligustiliden in rats in vivo.

OBJECTIVE:To optimize the preparation technology of roxithromycin microspheres.METHODS:The microspheres of roxithromycin were prepared by the emulsion-solvent diffusion method with ethylcellulose used as capsule wall material.The preparation technology of microspheres was optimized by orthogonal experiment taking encapsulation efficiency as index with the ratio of roxithromycin to ethylcellulose(A),the concentration of ethylcellulose(B)and the ratio of water phase to oil phase(C)as factors.The appearance,particle diameter,drug-loading amount,encapsulation efficiency,in vitro release and bitter smell were studied.RESULTS:The optimal preparation conditions were as follows:A was 1∶1,B was 30 ?g?mL-1 and C was 4∶1.The microspheres obtained were round and well-distributed with mean diameter of 75.0～90.0 ?m,drug-loading amount of 45%～46%,encapsulation efficiency of over 90% and sustained release for over 13 hours.No bitter taste of the roxithromycin-ethylcellulose microspheres was felt by the majority of subjects.CONCLUSION:The roxithromycin microspheres made by optimization technology was bitter-masked and sustained release.

OBJECTIVE:To prepare epirubicin hydrochloride solid lipid nanoparticle(EPI-SLN) and investigate its physicochemical property. METHODS: EPI-SLN was prepared by ultrasonic dispersion technique with glyceryl behenate as matrix,and the appearance,particle size,? electric potential,and entrapment efficiency of the SLN were evaluated and its stability at 3 month storing at 4 ℃ was investigated. RESULTS: EPI-SLN assumed spherical shape with a particle diameter of (212.8?6.2) nm,? electric potential of (-24.7?0.3) mV and entrapment efficiency of 82 %. The EPI-SLN at 4 ℃ was stable after storing for 3 months,showing no marked change in mean diameter,? electric potential or entrapment efficiency. CONCLUSION: The prepared EPI-SLN is up to the standard.

OBJECTIVE:To optimize the formulation of dextromethorphan hydrobromide sustained-release tablets. METHODS: The dextromethorphan hydrobromide sustained-release tablets were prepared with HPMC as sustained release matrix. Orthogonal test was performed to optimize the formulation with in vitro accumulative drug release rate as index and the amount of HPMC and lactose as well as ethylcellulose (EC) concentration as factors. Then verification test on the in vitro drug release characteristics of the optimized tablets were performed and the influencing factors (high temperature,high light,and high moisture) were investigated as well. RESULTS: The optimized formulation of dextromethorphan hydrobromide sustained-release tablets was as follows: 30 mg HPMC,50 mg lactose,and 8% EC. The accumulative drug release rate at 8 h was above 70%. In the influencing factor test,the tablets were stable under all conditions except at high moisture condition. CONCLUSION: The optimized formulation of dextromethorphan hydrobromide sustained-release tablets is feasible.

OBJECTIVE:To prepare Yinxingye extract pellets and study its in vitro drug release rate.METHODS:The Yinxingye extract were coated with 3 coating materials(opadryⅡ,Eudragit L30D-55 and Eudragit S 100,respectively)to be prepared into pallets by centrifugalized palletizing method;and the 3 different coated pallets were prepared into mixed pallets in an pre-designed ratio.The in vitro release of the 3 coated pallets and the mixed-coated pallets were determined by changing the pH-gradient of media(0.1 mol?L-1 hydrochloric acid,pH 5.8 PBS,pH 7.2 PBS).RESULTS:The pallets coated with 3 different coating materials released quickly in 0.1 mol?L-1 hydrochloric acid,pH 5.8 PBS and pH 7.2 PBS,and the pellets with mixed coating materials had a sustained release until a complete release within about 8 h in pH gradient-changed media.CONCLUSION:The preparation process is feasible and provides theoretic basis for industrial production.
