Preparation of lansoprazole biphasic release pellet capsules / 国际药学研究杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To prepare lansoprazole biphasic release pellet capsules. Methods The pellets carrying lansoprazole were directly prepared by centrifugal making-pill method, and the pellets of enteric coating and enteric pulsatile coating were adopted by fluidized bed coating method. Then the two kinds of pellets were filled by a fixed proportion to hollow capsules. In vitro dissolution method was used for the observation of the drug release behavior. Results The optimized formulation was as follows: the magnesium carbonate level was 15%, the L-HPC level was 20% in pellets carried drug, the isolation gown level was 9%-10%, the enteric coating level was above 41% in enteric coated pellets, the swelling agent level was 50-60%, the controlled layer level was 50%, the enteric coating level was above 41% in pulsatile enteric coated pellets, and the drying time was 4 h in the end. Conclusion The method is feasible for preparation of lansoprazole biphasic release pellet capsules by encapsulating enteric-coated pellets, and able to obtain good repeatability and stable quality.
