The bioavailability of sulindac (SDC), a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, is low due to poor aqueous solubility and poor dissolution rate. For this reason it is necessary to enhance the solubility and enhance dissolution of the drug by dispersing SDC in polyethylene glycols 6000 (PEG 6000) and polyvinyl pyrrolidone 40000 (PVP 40000) matrices using the coevaporation technique. Studying the influence of SDC to polymer ratio on drug content, percent yield, particle size, and in vitro release was performed. Differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy were used to characterize any change in crystal habit of SDC in the prepared formulae. The anti-inflammatory effect of SDC was studied using the hind paw edema model. It was found that incorporation of SDC in PEG 6000 and PVP 40000 matrices resulted in improving the dissolution rate, which was found to depend on the polymer and its weight ratio of the drug. It is clearly obvious that the dissolution rate was remarkably improved in drug PVP 40000 molecular dispersions when compared to drug PEG 6000 systems. Solid dispersion of SDC in PEG and PVP improved the anti-inflammatory effect of SDC and it was found that formula SDV5 exhibited a more pronounced inhibition of swelling than other formulae.
非甾体抗炎药舒林酸(SDC)的生物利用度较低,原因在于其水溶性差且溶解速率低。因此,有必要采用共蒸发技术将SDC分散于聚乙二醇6000(PEG 6000)和聚乙烯吡咯烷酮40000(PVP 40000)基质中,以提高药物的溶解度和溶出度。研究了SDC与聚合物比例对药物含量、产率、粒径和体外释放的影响。采用差示扫描量热法、X射线衍射法和扫描电子显微镜对所制备配方中SDC晶型的任何变化进行表征。利用后爪水肿模型研究了SDC的抗炎作用。结果发现,将SDC掺入PEG 6000和PVP 40000基质中可提高溶出速率,且溶出速率取决于聚合物及其与药物的重量比。显然,与药物PEG 6000体系相比,药物PVP 40000分子分散体中的溶出速率显著提高。SDC在PEG和PVP中的固体分散体提高了SDC的抗炎作用,且发现配方SDV5比其他配方对肿胀的抑制作用更明显。
