RESUMO
A drug-resin liquid delayed-release suspension of pantoprazole sodium (PAZ-Na) was prepared to improve the effectiveness, convenience and safety of peptic ulcer treatment in children, the elderly and patients with dysphagia. Pantoprazole sodium drug-resin complexes (PAZ-Na-DRC) were prepared using the bath method. The fluidized bed coating method is used to coat it and then add excipients to make a dry suspension prepared before use. The parameters of the in vitro release experimental conditions were optimized and the drug release curve showed delayed release. Rats were given commercial PAZ-Na enteric-coated pellet capsules and the PAZ-Na delayed release suspension via intragastric administration. The results showed that the Tmax of the PAZ-Na delayed release suspension was increased from 2h to 4h compared with the PAZ-Na enteric-coated pellet capsules. Similarly, the Cmax was reduced from 6.162µg/mL to 3.244µg/mL with the concentration-time curve is very gentle compared with the commercial drug capsules. After oral administration, the relative bioavailability of PAZ-Na delayed release suspension (AUC0-24 of 19.578 µgâ¢hâ¢mL-1) compared with the commercial drug (AUC0-24 of 17.388 µgâ¢hâ¢mL-1) was 112.67%. The findings showed that the PAZ-Na delayed release suspension for oral administration was successfully formulated with highly improved pharmacokinetic indices.
