Optimization of Formula of Hyperici Perforati Herba Extract Sustained-release Tablets
Objective: To optimize formula of Hyperici Perforati Herba extract sustained-release tablets and evaluate its in vitro release mechanism. Method: With cumulative release rate of hypericin at different time points as comprehensive evaluation index
orthogonal test was adopted to optimize formula of Hyperici Perforati Herba extract sustained-release tablets by taking quality ratio of MCC to lactose
framework materials and the amount of HPMC as factors.Release mechanism of sustained-release tablets was investigated by in vitro release test. Result: Optimized prescription process was as follows:HPMC K15M 30%
MCC 6.4%
lactose 12.6%
magnesium stearate 1%.Drug release of Hyperici Perforati Herba extract sustained-release tablets in 2 h was 15%-30%
it was 40%-75% in 6 h and more than 85% in 12 h.In vitro release behavior was in line with Ritger-Peppas equation
release process was described by synergy of drug diffusion and skeleton corrosion. Conclusion: Optimized prescription process was reasonable and simple.In vitro release of these prepared sustained-release tablets was slow and stable
its release mechanism followed kinetic model of sustained-release tablets.
