Abstract
The adsorption of quinidine onto kaolin was studied as a function of pH in aqueous solutions in which the ionic strength was adjusted to 0.1. The interaction of quinidine with pectin also was investigated in water and in phosphate buffer; the buffer pH and ionic strength were adjusted to 6.5 and 0.1, respectively. The in vitro results indicated that quinidine was adsorbed onto kaolin. At the highest concentration studied, the extent of adsorption increased from 3.64 mg of quinidine adsorbed/g of adsorbent at pH 2.4 to an average of 5.81 mg/g in the pH 5.5-7.5 range. In the presence of electrolytes, the interaction of quinidine with pectin was relatively small (3-13% bound) as compared to studies performed in water (66-90% bound). The data indicate that some quinidine may be adsorbed when this drug is administered concurrently with kaolin-pectin preparations.
