Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of preparation inspection, and in particular relates to a solid preparation release structure and a solid preparation release tester and a test method. Background Art
[0002] Dissolution rate and disintegration time are conventional quality inspection indicators for marketed drugs. Pharmacopoeias of various countries have set corresponding test methods and index ranges for dissolution rate and disintegration time of drugs. The dissolution modes used by conventional drug dissolution testing instruments mainly include basket method and paddle method dissolution apparatus (such as Chinese patent document CN201220241217.8), reciprocating cylinder method dissolution apparatus (such as Chinese patent document CN201921215456.4), flow cell method dissolution apparatus and disintegration apparatus (such as Chinese patent document CN201911045888.X). Such drug dissolution testing instruments usually have a base for supporting the instrument, a water tank for regulating and maintaining temperature, a stirring or lifting structure for promoting drug movement and a corresponding control motor, a release cup for accommodating simulated digestive tract fluid or dissolution medium, a heating structure for regulating temperature, etc. The dissolution cup usually has a volume of 1000ml, and the motor for controlling the rotation of the stirring structure is usually a stepping motor. Typical drug release testing instruments include Tianda Tianfa RC12ADK dissolution tester, Fucosi FADT-800RC / 1200RC automatic dissolution apparatus, Hanson Research Elite 8 dissolution apparatus, Agilent 708-DS dissolution apparatus, Tianda Tianfa ZB-lE intelligent disintegration apparatus, etc. The release cup of this type of dissolution instrument is fixed in the water tank in a detachable manner. Usually, a large transparent cover is used to press all the dissolution cups by manually pulling down, and all the release cups are removed by manually lifting, or a fixing card consisting of a vertical shaft, a spring slidably sleeved with the vertical shaft, and a baffle arranged on the upper surface of the water tank and the bottom of the spring is set on the water tank plate. When the baffle is lifted, the spring contracts. At this time, the baffle can be rotated so that it cannot cover the release cup insertion port. After the release cup is inserted, the baffle is rotated to cover the release cup and the outside of the cup cover, and then the baffle is released. At this time, the baffle presses the release cup under the deformation of the spring. This type of dissolution instrument is equipped with temperature control and temperature detection structure, speed control and speed adjustment structure, and LCD display. Temperature information and speed information are displayed on the display. Its stirring structure is connected to the synchronous belt of the motor through the stirring shaft. When the motor rotates, it drives multiple shafts to rotate with the help of the synchronous belt, so that the shaft drives the stirring structure to rotate in the release cup to achieve the stirring function. The stirring structure is fixed on the same iron plate and is controlled by the lifting motor to lift and lower the release cup and stirring shaft, and to set the height of the paddle basket and sampling needle. Commonly used dissolution instruments such as the Raytor RT612 dissolution tester have a typical structure including a water tank, a rear box, a release cup, a motor, a controller, a paddle shaft, and a sampling needle lifting column.
[0003] However, the release data detected by these conventional dissolution and disintegration instruments on the market are mainly used as the batch-to-batch quality consistency evaluation of the same drug after approval or the quality consistency evaluation of the drug after process changes and the indicator detection of new preparation development. They are designed to be good at collecting release data but not good at observing detailed phenomena, which invisibly leads to the drawback of focusing on data and neglecting phenomena in the development process. Since the dissolution or disintegration phenomenon of solid preparations is usually more representative of the release characteristics than data in the development process, this makes ordinary dissolution and disintegration data more suitable for quality control rather than research and development.
[0004] For example: 1. In the paddle method dissolution test process, the solid preparation disintegrates or dissolves, and the accumulation deposited in the middle of the dissolution cup makes it difficult to observe and distinguish the release process. In severe cases, the dissolution data cannot truly reflect the release characteristics. Improving the stirring speed may make it difficult to ensure the method's discrimination ability.
[0005] 2. It is difficult to observe the release phenomenon of solid preparations in the basket using the basket method dissolution test.
[0006] 3. The reciprocating cylinder method for dissolution and disintegration time testing may not allow for clear observation of unilateral changes due to the rapid fluctuations in the movement of solid preparations.
[0007] 4. The flow cell dissolution method focuses on the application of slow-release drugs, but has insufficient observation capabilities for the release phenomenon of immediate-release solid preparations, and it is difficult to reflect the movement state of solid preparations.
[0008] Based on the above situation, it is necessary to develop a new in vitro release test device for solid preparations, which can make the solid preparations move slowly and dynamically on the curved surface to simulate the continuous relaxation and contraction movement pattern of the gastrointestinal tract and ensure the clear observation, in-depth analysis and reasonable judgment of the disintegration or dissolution phenomenon of the solid preparations. Summary of the invention
[0009] In view of the above-mentioned prior art, one of the purposes of the present invention is to provide a solid preparation release structure to overcome the disadvantage that it is difficult for conventional dissolution instruments or disintegration instruments to observe in detail the in vitro release behavior of solid preparations, including the changing morphology of the tablet surface and disintegrated particles, so that it can not only be used to test and observe the disintegration characteristics and the release degree of the active ingredients of the solid preparations, but also enable the solid preparations to move continuously on the "S"-shaped interface in the instrument, which is more conducive to simulating the physical effects of the continuous relaxation and contraction movement mode of the gastrointestinal tract in the body on the solid preparations.
[0010] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: For non-floating solid preparations, the main components of the solid preparation release structure of the present invention include a release cup and a ball-type stirring structure. The release cup is in the shape of a hollow cylinder, with a bottom in the shape of an arc, an inverted cone or a flat bottom, and is used as a container to contain a release medium for testing the in vitro release behavior of the solid preparation. The ball-type stirring structure is used to stir the balls in the release cup to drive the solid preparation to be tested to move. In order to maintain the stability of stirring, the vertical center axis of the ball-type stirring structure must be coaxial with the vertical center axis of the release cup.
[0011] Different from the dissolution structure of the paddle method, basket method and reciprocating cylinder method in the prior art, the ball-type stirring structure of the solid preparation release structure includes a stirring shaft, an upper cone, a lower cylinder, a stirring blade, a first stainless steel mesh, a rigid ball, and a ring-shaped vertical glass. Wherein, the upper cone and the lower cylinder are preferably hollow structures. The stirring shaft is used to drive the upper cone and the lower cylinder to rotate, so the lower part of the stirring shaft is fixedly connected to the upper cone, and the lower part of the upper cone is fixedly connected to the top of the lower cylinder. In order to make the rotation more stable and improve the stability of the structural connection, the circular interface between the upper cone and the lower cylinder can be a circular plate, and its material is the same as that of the upper cone and the lower cylinder, that is, the upper cone, the lower cylinder, and the circular plate are fixedly connected at the interface. The lower part of the stirring shaft is fixedly connected to the center of the circular plate and the top of the upper cone. The upper cone and the lower cylinder can also be solid structures. At this time, the lower part of the stirring shaft of the ball-type stirring structure is fixedly connected to the upper cone. However, this ball-type stirring structure itself is heavy.
[0012] The stirring blade is fixedly connected to the lower outer wall of the lower end cylinder, the vertical center axis of the stirring shaft is coaxial with the vertical center axis of the annular vertical glass; the annular vertical glass is located at the lower inner side of the release cup, the annular vertical glass and the inner wall of the release cup are integrally formed, the bottom of the annular vertical glass is detachably fixedly connected to a first stainless steel net, and a rigid ball is placed on the first stainless steel net. The rigid ball can be a small elastic sphere such as a stainless steel ball, a glass ball, a polymerized plastic ball, or a glass ball wrapped with PVC.
[0013] After the release medium and the solid preparation to be tested are added to the release cup, the external motor drives the stirring shaft to rotate, and the rigid balls on the first stainless steel net of this structure move driven by the stirring blades. The uneven changes in the balls present an "S"-shaped interface, so that the solid preparation is slowly moved and slightly collided on the interface to simulate the continuous relaxation and contraction movement mode of the gastrointestinal tract. The squeezing effect of the solid preparation on the solid preparation. Since the gap between the balls can accommodate the disintegrating materials, together with the movement effect, it can be avoided that the accumulation of the drug after disintegration affects the dissolution effect. At the same time, the disintegration speed and phenomenon on the surface of the solid preparation, as well as the shape and size of the disintegrating materials floating in the medium, flattened on the ball-bead interface, and sunk in the ball can be clearly observed, which is convenient for fully analyzing the in vitro release characteristics of the solid preparation, and also better simulates the disintegration and release characteristics of the solid preparation in the gastrointestinal tract.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the rigid balls are glass beads; 2 to 6 stirring blades are selected, and 3 are optimal in consideration of the limit of stirring action and economic cost; an inward and downward annular slope structure is formed between the upper end of the annular vertical glass and the inner wall of the release cup to prevent the solid preparation from falling on the plane and failing to enter the stirring structure when it is put into the glass; to facilitate the installation and disassembly of the first stainless steel mesh, the lower end of the annular vertical glass protrudes inward laterally to form a skirt structure, and 2 to 6 skirt internal threaded through holes are vertically distributed on the skirt structure, preferably 3; therefore, the first stainless steel mesh can be detachably fixedly connected to the bottom of the annular vertical glass by screws and skirt internal threaded through holes, that is, the screws pass through the mesh holes of the first stainless steel mesh and are screwed into the skirt internal threaded through holes, and the threaded connection facilitates the installation and disassembly of the first stainless steel mesh.
[0015] In a further preferred embodiment, the release cup is selected to have an arc-shaped bottom; the thickness of the middle part of the annular vertical glass is 6-15 mm, preferably 10 mm; the width of the skirt structure at the lower end of the annular vertical glass is 5-25 mm, preferably 10 mm; the first stainless steel mesh is 10-50 mm away from the bottom of the release cup and 2-30 mm away from the bottom of the lower cylinder, preferably 25 mm away from the bottom of the release cup and 8 mm away from the bottom of the lower cylinder; the diameter of the lower cylinder is 20-60 mm and the height is 20-70 mm, preferably 40 mm in diameter and 40 mm in height; the lower cylinder is The side surface of the body is 10~30mm away from the annular vertical glass, preferably 20mm; the upper cone is 5~70mm high, preferably 20mm; the upper cone and the lower cylinder are made of 316 stainless steel; the diameter of the rigid ball is 1~5mm, and the laying thickness of the rigid ball is: after the ball-type stirring structure is fixed, the top of the rigid ball is 15~95mm away from the first stainless steel mesh, preferably 35mm; the stirring blade is flat arc-shaped, the stirring blade is 2~15mm high, 5~40mm wide, and 8~28mm long, preferably 5mm high, 12mm wide, and 16mm long.
[0016] In another further optimized solution, the top edge of the release cup is folded outward by 90 degrees. o An annular flange is formed, and the annular flange and the outer wall of the release cup are integrally formed by hot pressing with hard polypropylene to form an encapsulated flange. There is a release cup side ear with the same thickness as the encapsulated flange on each side of the encapsulated flange. The release cup side ear is 2~15mm high and 5~50mm wide, preferably 8mm high and 22mm wide; the upper outer wall of the stirring shaft is provided with an external thread. Since the stirring shafts of the existing similar solid preparation dissolution test devices are connected to the rotating shaft driven by the motor through threads. Therefore, the external thread of the upper outer wall of the stirring shaft provides a connection end for the connection between the solid preparation release structure and the existing solid preparation release test device. The encapsulated flange on the top edge of the release cup facilitates the fixation of the release cup.
[0017] For floating solid preparations, the main components of the solid preparation release structure of the present invention include a release cup and a floating stirring structure. The release cup is in the shape of a hollow cylinder, with a bottom in the shape of an arc, an inverted cone or a flat bottom, and is used as a container to contain a release medium for testing the in vitro release behavior of the solid preparation. The floating stirring structure is used to stir the release medium in the release cup to drive the solid preparation to be tested to move. In order to maintain the stability of stirring, the vertical center axis of the floating stirring structure must be coaxial with the vertical center axis of the release cup.
[0018] Different from the paddle method, basket method and reciprocating cylinder method in the prior art, the floating stirring structure of the solid preparation release structure of the present invention includes a stirring shaft, a top glass, a cylindrical peripheral glass, a columnar solid glass and a second stainless steel mesh. The top glass is fixedly connected to the top of the cylindrical peripheral glass; the top glass and the cylindrical peripheral glass are both transparent glass. The bottom surface of the top glass is fixedly connected to the top of the columnar solid glass. The vertical center axis of the top glass is coaxial with the vertical center axis of the columnar solid glass. The radius of the top glass is greater than the radius of the columnar solid glass. 2 to 6 flat arc-shaped protrusions are fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the top glass, preferably 4. A circular through hole is provided between the flat arc-shaped protrusions of the top glass for the floating particles generated during the dissolution of the solid preparation to pass through. At least one dosing port is also provided on the top glass, and the dosing port is provided in the middle of the flat arc-shaped protrusion, that is, an opening is provided in the middle of the flat arc-shaped protrusion, and the opening passes through the flat arc-shaped protrusions of the top glass and its bottom wall. In order to cover the medication port after medication is administered, a medication port top cover is also provided. The medication port top cover matches the opening shape of the medication port, and can be plugged into the medication port to play a blocking role. An upper protruding paddle is fixedly connected to the upper part of the medication port top cover, and the upper protruding paddle can play a role in driving the water flow during stirring, and can also be used as a handle of the medication port top cover for picking up and inserting the medication port top cover. When there are two medication ports, the medication ports are preferably arranged on two opposite flat arc-shaped protrusions. When there is only one medication port, another upper protruding paddle is preferably fixedly connected to the upper surface of the top glass corresponding to the opposite flat arc-shaped protrusion. The two upper protruding paddles can better drive the water flow during stirring and avoid the shaking of the stirring structure.
[0019] The flat arc-shaped protrusion in the present structure may also be a hollow structure, in which case the drug delivery port becomes the openings on the upper and lower surfaces of the flat arc-shaped protrusion.

[0021] After the medium and the solid preparation to be tested are added to the release cup, the external motor drives the stirring shaft to rotate, and the flat arc-shaped protrusions of the structure drive the liquid flow on the lower side of the top glass, so that the solid preparation can float horizontally in the space surrounded by the top glass, the cylindrical peripheral glass, the columnar solid glass and the second stainless steel net. The solid preparation floats in the medium and constantly touches the "S"-shaped interface presented by the flat arc-shaped protrusions of the top glass, so as to keep the solid preparation in the stirring state in the space surrounded by the top glass, the cylindrical peripheral glass, the columnar solid glass and the second stainless steel net. There is a certain longitudinal floating instead of being close to the top glass. Since the circular through holes on the top glass can pass the floating disintegration upward, the large and small mesh holes of the two layers of the second stainless steel net can intercept the sedimentation disintegration downward, and the morphology and proportion of disintegrations of different densities and sizes can be clearly distinguished, which is convenient for observing and analyzing the disintegration characteristics of floating solid preparations. The upper protruding paddles of the structure drive the liquid flow on the upper side of the top glass, thereby promoting the diffusion of the disintegration on the top glass for easy observation. At the same time, the disintegration rate and phenomenon on the surface of the solid preparation can be clearly observed, which is convenient for fully analyzing the in vitro release characteristics of the solid preparation. In a preferred embodiment, the top glass and the cylindrical peripheral glass are preferably integrally formed, and the top glass and the columnar solid glass are preferably integrally formed.

The release cups can be detachably fixedly connected to the existing dissolution instrument, for example, they can be inserted into the release cup jack of the Raytor RT612 dissolution tester and detachably fixedly connected with the aid of their fixed structures. Among them, a dissolution instrument can carry one or more identical or different solid preparation release structures, for example, a dissolution instrument can carry 2-6 of the above-mentioned solid preparation release structures for non-floating solid preparations or 2-6 of the above-mentioned solid preparation release structures for floating solid preparations, and can also carry 3 of the above-mentioned solid preparation release structures for non-floating solid preparations and 3 of the above-mentioned solid preparation release structures for floating solid preparations, etc.

This type of stepper motor and temperature probe can be purchased directly on the Internet or in the market. The principle is a well-known technology in this field and will not be described here.
[0034] The present invention also provides a method for detecting the in vitro release behavior of a solid preparation used in conjunction with the above-mentioned solid preparation release tester: For non-floating solid preparations, the following steps are included: connect the drive structure socket with a wire to the drive structure, connect the household AC power supply to the main power socket, turn on the power switch, set the water tank temperature and the test speed, and start the water heater and the water circulator. When the drive structure socket is connected to the stepper motor in a one-to-one manner, connect one or more stepper motors that need to be started, that is, the stepper motors corresponding to the release cups that need to be used, to the corresponding drive structure sockets with a wire. When the drive structure socket is connected to the stepper motor in a one-to-many manner, the drive structure socket can be connected to the drive structure with a wire, and the unused release cups and the corresponding stirring components do not need to be installed.
[0035] Connect the first stainless steel mesh to the bottom of the annular vertical glass through the skirt screws and the inner threaded through holes of the skirt and tighten them. Slide the release cup horizontally through the water tank top plate mounting port to the release cup mounting hole. Insert the left top plate cover and / or the right top plate cover (i.e., the top plate cover corresponding to the release cup and stepper motor used) between the square protrusion on the upper surface and the protrusion on the lower surface. Move the left top plate cover to the left and / or the right top plate cover to the right to make them contact with the release cup. The middle top plate cover is stuck between the left top plate cover and the right top plate cover, and the release medium is added into the release cup.
[0036] Pass the stirring shaft of the ball-type stirring structure through the central circular hole of the release cup cover, screw it upward to the stirring mother shaft through the thread, insert the cross-shaped protruding rod on the top of the stirring mother shaft into the cross-shaped groove on the top of the rotating shaft sleeve, tighten the internal threaded top cap of the driving structure, lift the release cup cover and pour the glass balls, cover the release cup cover, insert the block of the release cup cover into the bayonet of the release cup fixing block, pass the long screw through the side ear through hole of the release cup cover, the side ear through hole of the release cup and the threaded through hole on the top plate of the water tank, tighten and fix the release cup.
[0037] Insert the mobile temperature probe into the release cup. When the temperature of the release medium in the release cup reaches the requirement, put the solid preparation to be tested into the release cup through the camera insertion hole on the cover of the release cup, and start stirring immediately to observe the in vitro release behavior of the solid preparation. When taking liquid for testing, insert the liquid collection needle into the corresponding insertion hole on the cover of the release cup to extract the liquid sample.
[0038] After the test, unscrew the long screw, unscrew the stirring mother shaft and the stirring shaft, lift the stirring mother shaft, remove the release cup cover and the middle top plate cover in turn, then pull out the left top plate cover and the right top plate cover, slide the release cup together with the stirring device to the middle of the installation port and take them out.
[0039] For floating solid preparations, the following steps are included: connecting the drive structure socket with a wire, connecting the household AC power supply to the main power socket, turning on the power switch, setting the water tank temperature and the test speed, and starting the water heater and the water circulator; The two layers of second stainless steel mesh are fixedly connected to the bottom of the glass of the cylindrical outer peripheral part through the annular outer wall screws, the outer peripheral inner threaded through holes, and the annular outer wall inner threaded through holes, respectively; the release cup is slid horizontally to the release cup mounting hole through the water tank top plate mounting opening; the left top plate cover or the right top plate cover is inserted between the square protrusion on the upper surface and the protrusion on the lower surface; the left top plate cover is moved to the left and / or the right top plate cover is moved to the right to make it contact with the release cup; and the middle top plate cover is clamped between the left top plate cover and the right top plate cover; The stirring shaft of the floating stirring structure is passed through the central circular hole of the release cup cover, and screwed upward to the stirring mother shaft through the thread, and the stirring mother shaft is lifted to the highest position. At this time, the floating stirring structure is higher than the upper edge of the release cup as a whole, and the release medium can be added to the release cup to prevent the floating stirring structure from contacting the medium too early, which will affect the test results. The mother shaft fixing half ring is placed under the cross-shaped protruding rod at the top of the stirring mother shaft, and the floating stirring structure is slowly lowered so that the upper surface of the top glass of the floating stirring structure is close to the lower surface of the release cup cover, and the release cup cover is placed on the release cup. At this time, the floating stirring structure is higher than the liquid level of the medium as a whole, which can prevent the floating stirring structure from contacting the medium too early.
[0040] Insert the mobile temperature probe into the release cup. When the temperature of the release medium in the release cup reaches the required level, lift the stirring shaft and the release cup cover. At this time, the top glass surface of the floating stirring structure is exposed, and the solid preparation can be added to the floating stirring structure through the dosing port. Then, pinch the upper protruding blade of the dosing port top cover to insert the dosing port top cover into the dosing port, and slowly lower the floating stirring structure so that the cross-shaped protruding rod on the top of the stirring shaft is placed on the fixed half ring of the shaft, ensuring that the top glass surface of the floating stirring structure is close to the lower surface of the release cup cover. At this time, the floating stirring structure is higher than the liquid level of the medium as a whole to prevent the solid preparation from contacting the medium before stirring, which will affect the test results. Then insert the block of the release cup cover into the block of the release cup fixing block, and pass the long screw through the side ear through hole of the release cup cover, the side ear through hole of the release cup and the threaded through hole on the top plate of the water tank to tighten and fix the release cup; remove the fixing half ring of the mother shaft, insert the cross-shaped protrusion on the top of the stirring mother shaft into the cross-shaped groove on the top of the rotating shaft sleeve, and immediately tighten the internal threaded top cap of the driving structure, and start stirring immediately, observe the in vitro release behavior of the solid preparation, and when taking liquid for testing, insert the liquid collection needle into the corresponding insertion hole on the release cup cover to extract the liquid sample. After the test, unscrew the long screw, unscrew the stirring mother shaft and the stirring shaft, lift the stirring mother shaft, remove the release cup cover and the middle top plate cover in turn, then pull out the left top plate cover and the right top plate cover, slide the release cup together with the stirring device to the middle of the installation port and take them out.
[0041] In a preferred embodiment, for the step of non-floating solid preparations: the rigid balls are glass balls with a diameter of 1-5 mm; the aperture of the first stainless steel mesh is one of 18, 20, 24, 30, 40, and 50 meshes; for the step of floating solid preparations: the aperture of the second stainless steel mesh is selected from any two of 18, 20, 24, 30, 40, and 50 meshes.
[0042] Furthermore, in the above method for detecting the in vitro release behavior of a solid preparation, the pH of the release medium is 1.0-8.0; the rotation speed of the stirring structure is 10-100 rpm, preferably 10-50 rpm; and the medium temperature is 20-45°C, preferably 37°C or 25°C.
[0043] Compared with the existing dissolution apparatus and disintegration apparatus, the solid preparation release structure for non-floating solid preparations or floating solid preparations of the present invention has the following advantages: Existing dissolution apparatus and disintegration apparatus are mainly used for batch-to-batch quality control of solid preparations after marketing, that is, to ensure that the dissolution and disintegration data of solid preparations are consistent or the variation range is acceptable between batches. However, they are not obviously suitable for distinguishing the differences in the excipient composition and process parameters of solid preparation granule intermediates. Since the paddle and basket dissolution processes are prone to form accumulation bodies, it is also difficult to simulate the decomposition and release behavior of solid preparations under the continuous relaxation and contraction movement mode of the gastrointestinal tract.
[0044] Since the solid preparation release structure for non-floating solid preparations of the present invention has rigid spheres, upper cones, lower cylinders, first stainless steel nets and other components, and the solid preparation release structure for floating solid preparations has flat arc-shaped protrusions, double-layer second stainless steel nets, top glass, cylindrical outer peripheral glass and other components, the stirring process avoids the generation of accumulation bodies, so that solid preparations of different densities can move in the "S"-shaped interface in the release structure, which is closer to the characteristics of the mechanical digestion process caused by the continuous relaxation and contraction movement mode of the gastrointestinal tract. At the same time, the two solid preparation release structures of the present invention can clearly observe and record the surface morphology and change characteristics of the solid preparations at various parts of the upper, middle and lower parts of the release cup, the movement state and particle size characteristics of the disintegrated materials, and the release speed and degree of the raw materials, and combine the data and phenomena to characterize the drug release in detail, so as to more reasonably optimize the prescription and process, analyze the in vitro release characteristics, and infer the in vivo release risk. It has reliable and obvious solving capabilities for the problems of inconvenient, unclear and insufficient observation of the release phenomenon in the research and development process and the problem of accumulation at the bottom of the dissolution cup affecting the analysis of the release results, and is particularly suitable for the development of solid preparations of generic drugs. In addition, the solid preparation release tester of the present invention reduces the cost of driving structure lifting and lowering control by fixing the driving structure and moving the release cup, while ensuring the fixing effect and efficiency of the release cup and its cup cover, and avoids the possibility of decreased accuracy due to frequent lifting or tilting of the driving structure. The instrument has a simple structure, low cost, a wide range of applicability, and is easy to promote and popularize. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
