OBJECTIVE:To investigate the technological factors that influence the drug release of nitrendipine sustained-release pellets.METHODS:The nitrendipine sustained-release pellets were prepared by extrusion-spheronization technology.By means of in vitro drug release test,the factors that influence the drug release including the amount of the wetting agent and the concentration of ethanol,extrusion speed,spheronisation speed and spheronisation time were investigated to optimize the technological conditions.RESULTS:The amount of the wetting agent and the concentration of ethanol had significant effects on drug release.The optimal concentration of ethanol was less than 35% and the optimal amount of the wetting agent was about 44 mL.Extrusion speed,spheronisation speed and spheronisation time had certain effects on drug release,and their optimal values were 48 r?min-1,1 400 r?min-1 and 5 min,respectively.CONCLUSION:The nitrendipine sustained-release pellets prepared in the above-mentioned technological conditions are up to the standard in drug release velocity.

AIM: To establish the quality standards for Chinese extractum angelicae liquidum. METHODS: TLC was used to identify ferulic acid and ligustilide and HPLC to determine the content of ferulic acid and ligustil-ide. HPLC was performed on a Diamonsil ODS-C_(18) analytical column(250 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm) with gradient elu-tion(0-15 min, 38%A; 15-20 min, 38%A-70%A; 20-40 min, 70%A; 40-45 min, 70%A-38%A) of methanol (A, containing 0.4% glacial acetic) and 0.4% glacial acetic acid(B) at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The diode array detection wavelength was set at 323 nm and the column temperature was at 35℃.

CONCLUSION: The method is rapid, simple and accurate with high reproducibility and can be used to control the quality of Chinese extractum angelicae liquidum.
