A dissolution test for tablets containing 100 mg of lamotrigine was developed and validated. The dissolution test was applied to compare the dissolution profile of Neural® with the reference product Lamictal®. The analysis procedure was carried out using a simple ultraviolet method at 267 nm. After the determination of solubility and sink conditions, the parameters selected were paddles at 50 rpm, 900 mL of 0.01 M hydrochloric acid, and 30 minutes duration (single point). This method was validated for specificity, linearity, accuracy, precision and robustness. Lamotrigine stability was also evaluated in dissolution medium.

Objective: Simvastatin is a drug used as a first-line anti-cholesterol in the treatment of dyslipidemia. Low solubility will affect its ability to penetrate the digestive tract membrane and will affect the amount of drug levels in the plasma. The use of Cremophor-EL as a surfactant has been shown to inhibit the action of P-glycoprotein so that it can increase the bioavailability of a drug and can increase the effect of a drug. Methods: The preparation of simvastatin tablets was carried out using the wet granulation method. The dissolution test used the paddle method, a speed of 50 rpm at a temperature of 37±0.5 ° C with a phosphate buffer pH 7.0 as the dissolution medium. Results: The results showed that at 30 min the generic simvastatin tablets had 81.52% dissolution and the Simvastatin Tablets with Cremophor-EL were 85.520%. Conclusion: Simvastatin cremophor-EL tablets are more dissolved than generic simvastatin at 30 min so that cremophor-EL simvastatin tablets have a better dissolution rate than generic simvastatin tablets.

A dissolution method was developed and UV spectrophotometry was developed for the evaluation of the dissolution of tablets containing 15 mg Noscapine .The dissolution medium 0.1 N HCl was found suitable to ensure sink conditions. USP Apparatus 2, 900 mL dissolution medium 45 minutes and 100 RPM were fixed. Dissolution profiles were generated at 10, 15, 20,   30; 45 min. Dissolution samples were analyzed with UV spectrophotometer at 213 nm. The UV method for determination of tablet was developed and validated. The method presented linearity (R2 = 0.999) in the concentration range of 1–9 μg/mL. The recoveries were good, ranging from 97.18% to 101.45%. The intraday and Interday precision results were 0.54% and 0.78% RSD, respectively. The developed dissolution test is adequate for its purpose and can be applied for the quality control of tablets. Keywords: Dissolution test; Noscapine; Tablets; UV Spectrophotometry method

Background: Marketed drugs must meet the required standards to guarantee product quality. Amoxicillin is a generic compound marketed under various trademarks as copy drugs. Amoxicillin caplets are an immediate release dosage form of BCS class I. An essential aspect of evaluating copy drugs is to assess the equivalence for their treatment to the innovator drugs to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the circulating copy drugs. Objective: The study aims to evaluate the physicochemical properties and compare the dissolution profile of amoxicillin caplets available in the market. Methods: Five amoxicillin caplet products, four test products, and one reference product were tested for their physicochemical properties and dissolution. The dissolution test was carried out with a type II device at a speed of 75 rpm in 900 mL of media buffered at pH 1.2, 4.5, and 6.8 and at a temperature of 37 +/- 0.5degrees celcius. The dissolution profile was analyzed by comparing it with the similarity factor (f2) parameters. Results: Two of the four amoxicillin caplet products had a similar dissolution profile to the reference products, namely products A and B. Products C and D were dissimilar because f2 was lower than 50 at pH 4.5. The caplets tested had almost the same dimensions, and all caplets met the requirements for uniformity of content, hardness, disintegration time, and dissolution. Conclusion: Not all of the amoxicillin caplets in the market have a similar dissolution profile to the reference products. Keywords: caplets, amoxicillin, dissolution, similarity factor

Meloxicam is a broadly used drug in the therapeutics for the osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis treatments in adults, and it is available in the Brazilian market, as tablet and capsule pharmaceutical forms. The present work aimed to establish conditions for accomplishment of the dissolution test of 15 mg meloxicam tablets (A and B test products), compared with the reference product, since there is no monograph about dissolution assays for meloxicam in official summaries. To optimize the conditions several parameters were tested and, according to obtained results, the use of pH 7.5 phosphate buffer (900mL, at 37 ± 0.5ºC) as dissolution medium, paddle method (apparatus 2), stirring speed of the dissolution medium at 100 rpm and collect time of 60 minutes were considered satisfactory. The samples were quantified by UV spectrophotometric method at 362 nm. The products presented kinetics of first-order. Dissolution efficiency values were of 83.25, 83.73 and 88.10% for the A, B and reference products, respectively. Factors f1 and f2 were calculated and similarity of the tested medicines was demonstrated. The dissolution test was validated presenting selectivity, linearity, precision and accuracy within of the acceptance criteria.

A simple , specific, accurate and precise RP-HPLC method was developed for determination of Irbesartan (IRB) in pharmaceutical dosage forms in tablets products and sachet using symmetry (L 1 ) column at 30°C . The signal was detected at 225 nm. A mobile phase dissolve 0.5 g of buffer potassium phosphate in 100 ml distilled water and adjust pH 2.7 , methanol and acetonitrile at ratio (40 :30 :30 ) . and flow rate 1.2ml/min -1 at pH=7.2 a mobile phase The percent recovery was detected 101 % and the linearity of concentration was 10-50 µg.ml -1 and supported this method by using (FT.I.R.) spectrum method for organic spectrophotometer to prove the chemical structure of this drug and some physical properties . we are obtained the result is identical of other literature . The proposed method was applied successfully for determination of the IRB in tablets products.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficiency of superdisintegrants: sodium starch glycolate, croscarmellose sodium and crospovidone in promoting tablet disintegration and drug dissolution of Topiramate immediate release tablets. The efficiency of superdisintegrants was tested, by considering four concentrations, viz., like 2%, 3%, 4% and 5% in the formulations. The dissolution was carried out in USP apparatus II at 50 rpm with distilled water as a dissolution medium. The dissolution rate of the model drug topiramate was found highly dependent on the tablet disintegration, on the particle size of the superdisintegrant, on the solubility of the drug and also on the type of superdisintegrant in the dissolution medium. There was no effect of the diluent (Lactose monohydrate) on the disintegration of different concentrations of superdisintegrants. These results suggest that, as determined by the f2 metric (similarity factor), the dissolution profile of the formulation containing 4% sodium starch glycolate and lactose monohydrate as a diluent was similar to that of a marketed product.
