In this study, a novel controlled release osmotic pump capsule consisting of pH-modulated solid dispersion for poorly soluble drug flurbiprofen (FP) was developed to improve the solubility and oral bioavailability of FP and to minimize the fluctuation of plasma concentration. The pH-modulated solid dispersion containing FP, Kollidon® 12 PF and Na2CO3 at a weight ratio of 1/4.5/0.02 was prepared using the solvent evaporation method. The osmotic pump capsule was assembled by semi-permeable capsule shell of cellulose acetate (CA) prepared by the perfusion method. Then, the solid dispersion, penetration enhancer, and suspending agents were tableted and filled into the capsule. Central composite design-response surface methodology was used to evaluate the influence of factors on the responses. A second-order polynomial model and a multiple linear model were fitted to correlation coefficient of drug release profile and ultimate cumulative release in 12 h, respectively. The actual response values were in good accordance with the predicted ones. The optimized formulation showed a complete drug delivery and zero-order release rate. Beagle dogs were used to be conducted in the pharmacokinetic study. The in vivo study indicated that the relative bioavailability of the novel osmotic pump system was 133.99% compared with the commercial preparation. The novel controlled delivery system with combination of pH-modulated solid dispersion and osmotic pump system is not only a promising strategy to improve the solubility and oral bioavailability of poorly soluble ionizable drugs but also an effective way to reduce dosing frequency and minimize the plasma fluctuation.
在本研究中,开发了一种新型控释渗透泵胶囊,其由用于难溶性药物氟比洛芬(FP)的pH调节固体分散体组成,以提高FP的溶解度和口服生物利用度,并使血浆浓度波动最小化。采用溶剂蒸发法制备了重量比为1/4.5/0.02的含FP、聚乙烯吡咯烷酮12 PF和碳酸钠的pH调节固体分散体。渗透泵胶囊由通过灌注法制备的醋酸纤维素(CA)半透性胶囊壳组装而成。然后,将固体分散体、渗透促进剂和悬浮剂压片并填充到胶囊中。采用中心复合设计-响应面法评估因素对响应的影响。分别用二阶多项式模型和多元线性模型拟合药物释放曲线的相关系数和12小时的最终累积释放量。实际响应值与预测值吻合良好。优化后的制剂显示出完全的药物递送和零级释放速率。使用比格犬进行药代动力学研究。体内研究表明,与市售制剂相比,新型渗透泵系统的相对生物利用度为133.99%。pH调节固体分散体和渗透泵系统相结合的新型控释系统不仅是提高难溶性可电离药物溶解度和口服生物利用度的一种有前景的策略,也是减少给药频率和最小化血浆波动的有效方法。
