Development of the "Dissolution" Test Method for Tablets of Sodium 4,4'-(propanediamido)dibenzoate with Sustained Release

Abstract

Introduction. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is one of the most common chronic diseases of this parenchymal organ among the adult population. The search and creation of supporting drugs is an urgent task of modern pharmacy. The malonic acid derivative, sodium 4,4'-(propanediamido) dibenzoate, synthesized by the employees of the Department of Organic Chemistry of the SPСPU, has antisteatous activity, is a potential agent for the treatment of liver diseases. Sustained release tablets were prepared based on sodium 4,4'-(propanediamido)dibenzoate. An integral part of the pharmaceutical development of a medicinal product is the development of a method for conducting the Dissolution test and the selection of optimal conditions, which became the purpose of this study.Aim. To develop the "Dissolution" test method for the sustained-release tablets based on sodium 4,4'-(propanediamido)dibenzoate.Materials and methods. The objects of research are the active pharmaceutical ingredient sodium 4,4'-(propanediamido)dibenzoate, as well as sustained-release tablets based on this substance. Equilibrium biopharmaceutical solubility was determined by UV-spectrophotometry. To establish the conditions for the "Dissolution" test, an ERWEKA DT-620 dissolution tester (ERWEKA GmbH, Germany) was used.Results and discussion. The suitability of the UV-spectrophotometry method for the quantitative determination of sodium 4,4'-(propanediamido) dibenzoate in solutions was determined. The established high biopharmaceutical solubility of sodium 4,4'-(propanediamido)dibenzoate in a buffer solution with a pH of 6,8, as well as in a 0,01 M solution of hydrochloric acid with a pH of 2,6, determined the choice of these media for the "Dissolution" test of the dosage form. The apparatus "Rotating basket" (rotation speed of 100 rpm in a dissolution medium with a volume of 1000 ml) was reasonably chosen for the test on the basis of the obtained linear dependence of the rate of release of the substance on time, as well as the best test results by the end of the experiment.Conclusion. A study of the biopharmaceutical properties of the original substance with antisteatous activity has been carried out. High biopharmaceutical solubility was established in media with pH 2,6 and pH 6,8. The conditions of the "Dissolution" test for sustained-release tablets based on the original sodium 4,4'-(propanediamido)dibenzoate were experimentally substantiated.
