Dissolution determination of new Dihydroartemisinin Tablets

Abstract

New Dihydroartemisinin Tablets were prepared,and a new dissolution determination method for the tablets was established,which provides reference for revising the quality standard.The dissolution experiment adopted the paddle method with 0.1 mol·L~(-1)hydrochloric acid solution 250 m L as the solvent,the rotating speed of 100 r·min~(-1)and the sampling time of 30 min.HPLC was adopted to determine the dissolution of dihydroartemisinin.The determination was performed on Agilent Eclipse XDB-C_(18)column with the mobile phase of acetonitrile-water(40∶60)at the flow rate of 1.0 m L·min~(-1).The detection wavelength was set at 216 nm,and the column temperature was 30℃.The sample size was 100μL.The linear range of dihydroartemisinin were 1.234 5-79.003 ng(r=1.000 0).The limit of quantitation was 0.308 6 ng,and the limit of detection was 0.154 3 ng.RSDs of precision tests were all lower than 1.0%.The recoveries were 98.09%-102.6%(RSD 1.8%,n=9).The average dissolutions of dihydroartemisinin in 3 batches of samples were 93.81%,92.61%,92.37%,respectively.The determination method is highly reproducible,accurate and reliable,and can objectively reflect the dissolution of Dihydroartemisinin Tablets,and provide a basis for revising the dissolution test of the current quality standard.Based on the dissolution rate,new tablets are superior to original tablets.
