Preparation of propranolol hydrochloride cubosomes by pH gradient method / 药学实践杂志

Objective To prepare propranolol hydrochloride loaded cubosomes (PPL-Cubs) with high entrapment efficiency. Methods PPL-Cubs was prepared by pH gradient method. Pressure and cycles of high pressure homogenization, dosage of glyceryl monooleate and poloxamer 407 were optimized to prepare blank cubosomes with particle size and polydispersity index as the indexes. The influences of various factors, including exterior pH values, internal pH values, the ratio of carrier to drug, particle size and polydispersity index of blank cubosomes, incubation temperature and time, and drug concentration on the entrapment efficiency were investigated. Results The blank cubosomes with small particle size and polydispersity index was prepared under homogenization conditions of 900 bar for 7 cycles, glyceryl monooleate dosage of 25%, and poloxamer 407 dosage of 5%. PPL-Cubs showed high entrapment efficiency with exterior pH value of 8.5, internal pH value of 3.0, ratio of carrier to drug of 6∶1, incubation temperature of 20 ℃, and incubation time of 15 min, and drug concentration of 1%. The particle size and polydispersity index of blank cubosomes showed no influence on entrapment efficiency. Conclusion PPL-Cubs with high entrapment efficiency could be prepared under the pH gradient method.

Quality Control Methods for Qianliedan Particle / 中国药师

Objective:To establish the quality control methods for Qianliedan particle. Methods:TLC was used to identify Scutel-lariae Barbatae Herba, Astragali Radix, Glycyrrhizae Radix Et, Rhizoma Praeparata Cum Melle, Psoraleae Fructus and Curcumae lon-gae Rhizoma. The content determination item was developed by determining the content of scutellarin in Scutellariae Barbatae Herba by HPLC. Results:The TLC spots were clear and well-separated without any interference from the negative sample. A good linear rela-tionship was established between the peak response and the concentration of scutellarin within the range of 3. 96-79. 20 μg·ml-1(r=0. 999 9). The mean recovery of scutellarin was 99. 34% (RSD=1. 25%, n=9). Conclusion:The established quality control meth-ods are accurate, reliable, stable and specific, which can be well used for the quality control of Qianliedan particle.

Study on extraction technology of blood glucose-lowering components of total fla-vonoids and polysaccharides from Gynura divaricata (L .) DC / 药学实践杂志

Objective To study and establish the extraction technology of hypoglycemic components of total flavonoids and polysaccharides from Gynura divaricata (L .) DC ..Methods Based on the singer factor test ,the influences of extracting times ,diameter of drug powder ,soaking time ,solid-liquid ratio ,ethanol concentration ,and extracting time on extraction ratio of total flavonoids were studied .The best extraction technology of total flavonoids from Gynura divaricata (L .) DC .was es-tablished through L9 (3)4 orthogonal tests .On the base of previous studies combine with L9 (3)4 orthogonal tests ,the best ex-traction technology of total polysaccharides from Gynura divaricata (L .) DC .was established .Results The optimized extrac-tion technology of total flavonoids was confirmed as follows :drug powder of less than 10 mesh diameter were soaking 0 .5 hour with 80% ethanol ,and solid-liquid ratio 1∶20 ,and extracting twice ,each time one hour .The optimized extraction technology of total polysaccharides was confirmed as follows :add 20 times water to the residue of ethanol ,extraction temperature 90℃ , and extracting twice ,each time one hour .The extraction rate of both total flavonoids and polysaccharides were more than 80% .Conclusion The extraction technology of hypoglycemic components of total flavonoids and polysaccharides from Gynura divaricata (L .) DC .established in this study is stable ,reproducible ,and lays a foundation for the further studies on hypogly-cemic components in Gynura divaricata (L .) DC .
