OBJECTIVE:To study the influence of both pH and complexation by hydroxypropyl-?-cyclodextrin(HPCD) on the overall solubility of hydroxycamptothecin(HCPT) with particular focus on the equilibrium between its lactone-and carboxylate-form.METHODS:Phase solubility studies at pH values and physiologically acceptable HPCD concentrations were performed,and the amounts of solubilized HCPT quantified by HPLC.The lactone-carboxylate-ratios from the equilibrium were studied.RESULTS:The solubility of HCPT increased with both increasing pH and HPCD concentration.The apparent complexation constant decreased with increasing pH.The lactone-carboxylate equivalence point shifted from a pH value of 6.5,7.0 and 7.3 with 0%,10% and 25% HPCD,respectively.Separate complexation constants for the carboxylate-HCPT and lactone-HCPT could thus be derived.CONCLUSION:The solubilizing and stabilizing effects of HPCD on HCPT in aqueous solution were good.

OBJECTIVE:To prepare Tetramethylpyrazine phosphate porosity osmotic tablet (TMPP) and to optimize its formulation and investigate its mechanism of drug release. METHODS: The formulation was optimized by the orthogonal experiment design through investigation of one factor; the accumulative drug release rates of preparations of different formulation were measured, and the mechanism of drug release of the tablets was discussed. RESULTS: The dosage of PEG 400 in coating solution, the content of hydroxy-propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) in tablet core, the dosage of dibutylphthalate as plasticizer, and the weight gain of coating membrane were four important factors influencing drug release. The optimal formulation was to use 10% of PEG400, 5% of HPMC, 10% of dibutylphthalate and 12 mg coating membrane. The release behavior in vitro of the porosity osmotic tablets prepared in the above condition within 10 h complied with zero order release rule(r=0.999 81), with accumulative release rate of 94.2%. The tablets had good reproducibility in interassay and which was independent of the influence of gastrointestinal condition. The mechanism of drug release included osmotic pump mechanism and diffusion mechanism, but osmotic pump one was the main type. CONCLUSION: The formulation and preparation technology of the porosity osmotic tablets were simple but effective, showing an obvious zero order release within 12 h and good reproducibility, thus suitable for the industrial production of porosity osmotic tablets.

Meth-ods:Kunming mice were used to make auricle swelling model by dimthylphenanthrene, and the auricle swelling degree was measured to test the anti-inflammatory effect of Chaige Qingre granules. Mice were used to make pain models by acetic acid, and the body twis-ting of the mice was counted to observe the analgesia effect of the granules. The fever model in rats was induced by yeast, and the body temperature of the rats was measured to investigate the antipyretic effects of the granules. Results:Chaige Qingre granules could relieve the auricle swelling degree significantly, and the inhibition rate was 46. 3% in the high dose group. High and middle dose groups could reduce the body twisting frequency with the inhibition rate of 51. 1% and 61. 8%, respectively. Every Chaige Qingre granules group could lower the body temperature after one hour of the administration, and the temperature could be reduced 0. 56 degrees Celsius in the high dose group. Conclusion:Chaige Qingre granules can effectively inhibit auricle swelling degree, relieve pain and reduce heat.
