In this study, our objective was to prepare levalbuterol hydrochloride drug-resin and investigate its characteristics. This work is basis for the study of the next levalbuterol hydrochloride sustained-release suspensions. The drug-resin was prepared by bath method. The effect of factors , including resin types, drug concentration, speed, temperatures and pH on evaluation index, was evaluate by Drug utilization rate and the resin loading. Then the Box-Behnken Design-response surface method was used to optimize the preparation. The drug content determined by UV method and drug-resin were characterize by IR and DSC.The best formulation of levalbuterol hydrochloride drug-resin was used the bath method IRP69 resin at 30°C. The drug concentration was 1.8 mg•ml-1, and the rotate speed was 250 rpm, the pH was 5.8. The preparation of levalbuterol hydrochloride drug-resin method is simple and feasible, and the drug combined with the resin by the chemisorption of ionic bond.
