The purpose of this study was to predict in vivo performance of three oral products of Etoricoxib (Arcoxia® as reference and two generic formulations in development) by conducting in vivo predictive dissolution with GIS (Gastro Intestinal Simulator) and computational analysis. Those predictions were compared with the results from previous bioequivalence (BE) human studies. Product dissolution studies were performed using a computer-controlled multicompartmental dissolution device (GIS) equipped with three dissolution chambers, representing stomach, duodenum, and jejunum, with integrated transit times and secretion rates. The measured dissolved amounts were modelled in each compartment with a set of differential equations representing transit, dissolution, and precipitation processes. The observed drug concentration by in vitro dissolution studies were directly convoluted with permeability and disposition parameters from literature to generate the predicted plasma concentrations. The GIS was able to detect the dissolution differences among reference and generic formulations in the gastric chamber where the drug solubility is high (pH 2) while the USP 2 standard dissolution test at pH 2 did not show any difference. Therefore, the current study confirms the importance of multicompartmental dissolution testing for weak bases as observed for other case examples but also the impact of excipients on duodenal and jejunal in vivo behavior.

In the current study, gastro-retentive tablets of Ritonavir was developed to increase its oral bioavailability using hydrophilic polymers HPMC K 4M, K 15M, and K 100M as release retarding agents. Polyox WSR 303 was chosen as resin, sodium bicarbonate was used as effervescent agents. The tablets were prepared by direct compression method and FTIR studies revealed that there is no interaction between the drug and polymers used for the formulation. Among all the formulations F21 containing HPMC K 100M, Crospovidone, Polyox WSR 303 and sodium bicarbonate, as gas generating agent was choosen as optimized formulation based on the evaluation parameters, floating lag time (33 sec) and total floating time (>24 h) and in vitro dissolution studies. From in vitro dissolution studies, the optimized formulation F21 and marketed product was shown 98.67% and 95.09 ± 5.01% of drug release respectively. From in vivo bioavailability studies, after oral administration of floating tablet containing 100 mg Ritonavir, the Cmax, Tmax, and AUC0–∞ of optimized gastroretentive formulation were found to be 30.11 ± 1.16μg/mL, 8.00±1.23 h and 173 ± 26.34μg*h/ml, respectively. Cmax and AUC values of optimized formulation were found to be significantly higher than of marketed product, where longer gastric residence time is an important condition for prolonged or controlled drug release and also for improved bioavailability.

Abstract Abstract 1295 Poster Board I-317 Introduction Recent animal studies suggest that measurable amounts of factor VIIa and antithrombin (AT) complexes are formed and accumulate following rFVIIa administration. The in vivo rate of inhibition has been reported to be faster than the un-stimulated in vitro reaction between AT and free rFVIIa and of the same order of magnitude as the rate determined in the presence of tissue factor. To study the impact of AT inhibition on the elimination of rFVIIa in humans, we measured the pharmacokinetics (PK) of rFVIIa and rFVIIa-AT complex formation in 10 hemophilia A or B patients. Patients and Methods The PK of single-dose rFVIIa 90 μg/kg (Novo Nordisk A/S) was evaluated in 10 severe FVIII- or FIX-deficient patients in a non-bleeding state. The plasma concentrations of FVIIa activity (FVII:C), FVII antigen (FVII:Ag), FVIIa-AT, D-dimer and F1+2 fragment were determined immediately before, and at 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 6 hours following rFVIIa dosing. Results Significant amounts of FVIIa–AT complex were formed in vivo after rFVIIa administration, and reached a maximum of 5.4 ± 0.8 nmol/L [mean ±SD] at 2 hours following rFVIIa administration and declined to 4.4 ± 0.9 nmol/L at 6 hours, as compared to 0.1 ± 0.05 nmol/L at baseline. While the FVII:C PK data in this study were consistent with previous data, there was greater total body clearance (Cltot), a larger volume of distribution (Vdss) and a shorter plasma half-life (T1/2) of FVII:C relative to FVII:Ag (Table). No change in D-dimer was observed after the administration of rFVIIa, while a slight increase in F1+2 fragment levels to 258 ± 73 pmol/L was measured 4 hours after rFVIIa dosing, as compared to 141 ± 45 pmol/L at baseline. Conclusion A significant divergence between the clearance of rFVIIa, as determined by either FVII:C or FVII:Ag measurements, can be accounted for by AT complex formation. Inhibition by AT appears thus to have a significant impact on the elimination of FVII:C activity from the circulation when rFVIIa is administered at a therapeutic dose. Similar to animal data, the formation of the FVIIa-AT complexes in vivo was faster than anticipated from in vitro studies, indicating that the exposure to the vessel wall stimulates the FVIIa inhibition by AT. Analyses of coagulation parameters did not indicate induction of systemic coagulation. Disclosures Ezban: NovoNordisk A/S: Employment. Pelzer:NovoNordisk: Employment. Agerso:NovoNordisk: Employment.

Aim. A rapid and reproducible HPLC method has been developed for the determination of amlodipine in experimental combined dosage forms containing amlodipine, bisoprolol and enalapril and for drug dissolution studies. Materials and methods. The separation was done using a column Phenomenex Polar Synergi, 5 μm, 4.6×50 mm and a mobile phase of methanol:phosphate buffer solution (65:35, v/v), flow-rate of 1.0 mL/min. The injection volume was 100 μL and the ultraviolet detector was set at 240 nm. Results. The method was validated as per ICH guidelines. Under these conditions, amlodipine was eluted at 1.89 min. Total run time was shorter than 2.5 min. The linearity of the method had a good correlation with concentration and peak area. The correlation coefficient of amlodipine was found to be not less than 0.9991, which indicates good linear relationship over concentration range 0.625 mg/mL–5.000 mg/mL (1.250 mg/mL–5.000 mg/mL at pH 4.5). The % RSD values in intra-day and inter-day precision study were found to be less than 0.267 for amlodipine, which indicate method was precise. Hence, the present developed method was said to be suitable for the analysis of drugs in their pharmaceutical dosage form. Also, in vitro dissolution of amlodipine containing tablets were performed to validate the suitability of the proposed method. The dissolution pattern complies with the FDA standards, indicating suitability of the proposed method for the dissolution study of amlodipine. It will allow conducting comparative studies in vitro to confirm the equivalence of tablets containing amlodipine. Conclusion. A simple and sensetive HPLC method was developed for the estimation of amlodipine in tablets containing amlodipine, enalapril and bisoprolol. The proposed method was applied successfully for quality control assay of amlodipine in experimental tablets and in vitro dissolution studies. In vitro / in vivo correlation of amlodipine has been conducted.

Objective: The present research work concerns the development of the extended release of Ritonavir floating matrix tablets, designed to prolong the gastric residence time, increase the drug bioavailability, and diminish the side effects of irritating drugs. Methods: The floating tablets of Ritonavir were prepared by direct compression method using different grades of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), crospovidone, Polyox WSR 303, and sodium bicarbonate, as gas generating agent. Evaluation parameters and in vivo radiographic studies were conducted in suitable model. Results: Among all formulations, F21 was chosen as optimized formulation based on evaluation parameters such as floating lag time (33 s), total floating time (>24 h), and in vitro dissolution studies. From in vitro dissolution studies, the optimized formulation F21 and marketed product were shown 98.67% and 91.46±5.02% of drug release, respectively. The main appliance of medication discharge follows zero-order kinetics and non- Fickian transport by coupled diffusion and erosion. In vivo experiments maintained the potentials in extending the gastric residence time in the fasted state in beagle dogs. The mean gastric residence time of the optimized formulation found to be 330 min±40 in the stomach, where longer gastric residence time is an important condition for prolonged or controlled drug release and also for enhanced bioavailability. Conclusion: From in vitro and in vivo radiographic studies, Ritonavir floating tablets estimated to provide novel choice for harmless, inexpensive, and extended release for the effective management of AIDS.

: The objective of the present article is to review various aspects of dissolution studies of dosage forms performed with the flow-through apparatus (USP type–IV apparatus). USP type-IV apparatus is comprised of a pump that compels the dissolution media upwards via the flow-through cell. A reservoir of dissolution medium is attached to the cell that is mounted vertically with a filter system to restrain the escape of un-dissolved particles. The apparatus is specially designed for powders, micro particles, pellets, and tablets. In this type of in vitro dissolution method, the test sample is placed in the bottom of the small-volume flow-through cell, and the solvent passes through it at a temperature of 37°C. This study is significant to build up the in-vivo and in-vitro relationship. Likewise, this study is used to distinguish the extent of medication released from the tested sample to foresee it’s in vivo viability in the actual patient population. The flow-through cell is used to determine the dissolution of micro-particulate, suppositories, implants, controlled-release formulations with drugs that have very low aqueous solubility. The drugs with small particle size and large surface area are dissolved at a faster rate as compared to other existing and compendia dissolution apparatuses. The article also highlights some of the in vitro dissolution studies carried out with the USP type-IV apparatus.

Aim: The present research work was carried out to develop Valsartan and Amlodipine capsules using micro tablets and to evaluate the in-vitro drug release characteristics. The study was targeted to determine the systemic concentrations using in-vivo prediction. Study Design: The in vivo parameters along with the marketed Valsartan and Amlodipine product was predicted using WinNonlin® software external prediction method. Place and Duration of the Study: The present work was carried out at Pacific Academy of Higher Education and Research University, Udaipur between the duration of February-2019 to November-2019. Methodology: The dissolution studies were performed for test and reference products in 900ml Phosphate buffer (pH 6.8), and the USP Type II apparatus at 50 RPM with a sinker. The in vivo pharmacokinetic prediction was performed using WinNonlin® Software. A mechanistic oral absorption model was built in Phoenix® WinNonlin® 8.2 software (Certara, Princeton, NJ, 08540, USA). Results: The in-vitro dissolution studies were comparable between the test product and the reference product. The Similarity factor achieved was 61.7 and 84.8 for Amlodipine and Valsartan test product in comparison with the reference product. An average percent prediction error for Cmax and AUC for both Valsartan and Amlodipine achieved was less than 10% for all IVIVC models. Conclusion: The relatively low prediction errors for Cmax and AUC observed strongly suggest that the Valsartan and Amlodipine IVIVC models are valid. The average percent prediction error of less than 10% indicates that the correlation is predictive and allows the associated dissolution data to be used as a surrogate for bioavailability studies.
