A Brief Review on Dissolution Method Development

Dissolution testing is a critical methodology; widely utilized in the development of a new pharmaceutical product. The test, in its simplest form, consists of placing the formulation in a dissolution apparatus containing suitable dissolution medium. The BCS has been a predictive tool for assess the prospective effects of formulation on the human, drug oral bioavailability. When used in combination with in vitro dissolution tests, the BCS can maintain the prediction of in vivo product performance and the development. Filtration is critical in drug dissolution testing as filtration stops the dissolution process and allows for accurate quantitation through separation of dissolved and un-dissolved components. The objective of this investigation was to determine if other sinker shapes will influence the rate, extent, or variability of dissolution. Dissolution test is required to study the drug release from the dosage form and its in vivo performance. Dissolution test is used to asses the lot-to-lot quality of drug product. development and validation of dissolution procedure(s) and to provide practical approaches for determining specificity, linearity, range, accuracy, precision, LOD, LOQ and robustness of methods.
