Abstract
AbstractThe coprecipitates were prepared by a solvent technique using Eudragit E as carrier and indomethacin as a model drug.X-Ray diffractometry, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and wettability tests were employed to investigate the physical state of the studied formulations. Up to 50% of indomethacin can be dispersed in an amorphous state in Eudragit E.The influence of the pH on the in vitro release of solid dispersions has been evaluated. Because of the good solubility of Eudragit E at pH 1.2 a fast dissolution rate of the drug was observed while a marked delay was noticed at pH 7.5 where the polymer is only permeable to water. At pH 5.8 the kinetics of drug release can be modulated by the drug/polymer ratio. The dissolution rate of the drug can be increased by decreasing its amount in the coevaporate.
