Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of dissolution test supplies, and the utility model provides a sedimentation basket. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, in vitro dissolution experiment is considered to be able to estimate in vivo dissolution behavior and absorption, but the human body environment is complex, and similar in vitro dissolution behavior between preparations can easily cause in vivo BE non-equivalence, which hinders enterprise research and development progress and also brings economic burden. The conventional dissolution mode has a basket method or a slurry method, and dissolution inspection as a quality means for drug in vitro control, the accuracy of the detection process is particularly important for drug preparation quality control.

[0003] The basket method in Chinese Pharmacopoeia and US Pharmacopoeia is a commonly used method for detecting the dissolution rate of drug preparations. For such large variation drug preparations as enteric-coated tablets and coated tablets, due to the difference in drug administration position during in vitro dissolution process, it leads to large dissolution deviation, and the coating on the outer layer of coated tablets and enteric-coated tablets becomes sticky during the dissolution process, which is easy to adhere to a certain part of the rotating basket, resulting in large changes in dissolution results, and the relative standard deviation cannot meet the requirements of sample tablet dissolution test, thereby making it difficult to develop a dissolution method.

[0004] The prior art CN213121860 U uses a built-in sedimentation basket combined with a rotating basket to significantly reduce the problems of uneven dissolution and poor dissolution parallelism of sticky capsules and other solid preparations during the dissolution process. The use of the patented device can realize the quality detection and control of sticky solid preparations (especially capsules), and is suitable for capsule preparations that are easy to stick during the dissolution process, especially for the dissolution rate detection of pellet capsule preparations, and particularly for the dissolution rate detection of Pamiparib pellet capsule preparations. However, the device has certain limitations in actual application due to the excessively dense structure design, which is not conducive to the development of in vitro dissolution method of coated tablets and enteric-coated tablets.

[0050] Application Example 1

[0051] I. Experimental purpose: The dissolution curve of mesalazine enteric-coated tablets (No. X230701 0 days) in pH 6.8 medium

[0052] Line determination.

[0053] II. Experimental basis: "Technical Guidelines for Dissolution Test of Ordinary Oral Solid Preparations"

[0054] III. Dissolution parameters are as follows Table 1

[0055] Dissolution medium 0.1 mol / L hydrochloric acid solution / pH 6.8 phosphate solution Apparatus and rotation speed Paddle method 100 rpm Medium volume 1000 ml / 900 ml Medium temperature 37℃ Sampling volume 10ml Sampling time 60 / 90 / 100 / 110 / 120 / 150 / 180 min In-line filter head PE 10 μm Whether to replenish Yes Replenishment volume (ml) 10

[0056] IV. Experimental process

[0057] In the dissolution instrument 1-12 cup respectively pour 900ml pH 6.8 phosphate buffer, preheating, when the dissolution medium temperature reaches 37℃±0.5℃. The removed tablet 1-6 respectively into the dissolution instrument 1-6 cup, the removed tablet 7-12 respectively loaded into the sink basket and then into the dissolution instrument 7-12 cup; start, at each sampling point respectively take 10ml, through 10um PE filter, take the filtrate, namely. And after sampling at each sampling point, 10ml of 37℃±0.5℃ pH 6.8 phosphate buffer solution.

[0058] Dissolution results as follows Table 2

[0059]

[0060] The experimental results show that: as shown in Table 2 and Figure 6 The mesalamine irregular tablet sample without sink basket will rotate with the rotation of the paddle shaft, and the rotation frequency of each mesalamine irregular tablet sample is different. The mesalamine irregular tablet sample with sink basket cannot rotate with the rotation of the paddle shaft, and the dissolution difference between each mesalamine irregular tablet sample is small. The difference between the two dissolution processes is the main reason for the difference in RSD value of the mesalamine irregular tablet sample dissolution. It can be seen that the mesalamine irregular tablet variety uses the sink basket during the dissolution process, so that the tablet sample will not rotate with the paddle, the flushing force is stronger, the dissolution is faster, and the RSD during the dissolution process of each sample is reduced. The sink basket structure of the utility model is simple, will not affect the stability of water flow, can ensure the accurate drug administration and stable dissolution position of mesalamine irregular tablet, and also ensure the stability and uniformity of the flushing force during the drug dissolution process, and reduce the dissolution variation.
