    Notes: Abstract In order to evaluate the in vitro dissolution and in vivo bioavailability relationship for furosemide, a bioequivalence study was carried out. Furosemide (40 mg) was administered orally to 12 normal volunteers in a 6 × 6 crossover design using six products (five tablets and one solution) obtained from three pharmaceutical companies. Plasma and urine concentrations of furosemide were quantitated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Plasma furosemide profiles were analyzed by non-compartmental methods. Compared to the oral solution, all of the formulations exhibited lower peak furosemide concentrations, longer mean residence times, and, in some cases, diminished bioavailability (range, 66–96%). Similar results were obtained when the reference product (a rapidly dissolving tablet) was used as the standard. All of the products failed the 75/75 rule when compared to either reference standard, apparently because of large intersubject variability. The total amount of furosemide excreted in urine could be associated with the percentage drug dissolved (in vitro) at 30 min. The pH 5.6 dissolution medium (compared to pH 4.6) appears to be an appropriate test medium for assuring batch uniformity and bioequivalence of furosemide products.

    Analysis of in Vitro Dissolution of Whole vs. Half Controlled-Release Theophylline Tablets (1987)
    Springer
    Pharmaceutical research 4 (1987), S. 416-419

    ISSN: 1573-904X
    Keywords: controlled-release theophylline ; dissolution ; whole vs. half tablets ; statistical analysis

    Notes: Abstract Controlled-release (CR) drug products dissolve more slowly than conventional-release products, reflecting their quality of sustaining a prolonged therapeutic effect. A frequent practice with scored tablets when only half the dosage is desired is to divide the tablet at the score mark and administer only half of the product. The dissolution characteristics of the divided tablets are unknown. It is only an assumption that the halved tablet behaves similarly to the whole tablet both in vitro and in vivo. A series of in vitro dissolution analyses was performed on whole and half CR theophylline tablets from different manufacturers. Statistical tests were carried out between the dissolution results of whole and those of halved tablets to determine whether the mean overall percentages dissolution (averaged over sampling times) were similar and whether the patterns of percentage dissolution over time were similar. The dissolution of halved tablets was slightly faster compared to that of intact (whole) tablets. However, these small differences were not large enough to cause concern or to require bioavailability studies.

    The Effect of Gelatin Cross-Linking on the Bioequivalence of Hard and Soft Gelatin Acetaminophen Capsules (2000)
    Springer
    Pharmaceutical research 17 (2000), S. 962-966

    ISSN: 1573-904X
    Keywords: Gelatin capsules ; acetaminophen ; crosslinking ; dissolution ; human bioequivalence

    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Abstract Purpose. To determine if changes in the in vitrodissolution of hard and soft gelatin acetaminophen capsules, which resultfrom gelatin crosslinking, are predictive of changes in the bioavailabilityof the capsules in humans. Methods. Both hard and soft gelatin capsules were“stressed” by a controlled exposure to formaldehyde, resultingin unstressed, moderately stressed and highly stressed capsules. invitro dissolution studies were conducted using water or SGF with andwithout pepsin as the media. Separate 24-subject, 3-way crossover humanbioequivalence studies were performed on the unstressed and stressedacetaminophen capsules. Plasma acetaminophen was determined by highperformance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for 12 hr after each dose. Results. The in vitro rate of dissolution of hardand soft gelatin capsules was decreased by crosslinking. The bioequivalencestudies showed that both hard and soft gelatin capsules, which failed tomeet the USP dissolution specification in water, but complied when tested inSGF containing pepsin, were bioequivalent to the unstressed controlcapsules. The capsules that were cross-linked to the greatest extent werenot bioequivalent to the unstressed control capsules, based on Cmax. Atrend toward an increase in Cmax with increased level of cross-linking wasobserved, but this was only significant for the severely stressedcapsules. Conclusions. On the basis of this study a two-tier invitro dissolution test was developed using enzymes to distinguishbetween bioequivalent and bioinequivalent gelatin capsules.

    In Vitro Dissolution Profile Comparison—Statistics and Analysis of the Similarity Factor, f2 (1998)
    Springer
    Pharmaceutical research 15 (1998), S. 889-896 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-904X
    Keywords: dissolution ; similarity factor ; estimation bias ; bootstrap confidence interval
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Abstract Purpose. To describe the properties of the similarity factor (f2) as a measure for assessing the similarity of two dissolution profiles. Discuss the statistical properties of the estimate based on sample means. Methods. The f2 metrics and the decision rule is evaluated using examples of dissolution profiles. The confidence interval is calculated using bootstrapping method. The bias of the estimate using sample mean dissolution is evaluated. Results. 1. f2 values were found to be sensitive to number of sample points, after the dissolution plateau has been reached. 2. The statistical evaluation of f2 could be made using 90% confidence interval approach. 3. The statistical distribution of f2 metrics could be simulated using 'Bootstrap' method. A relatively robust distribution could be obtained after more than 500 'Bootstraps'. 4. A statistical 'bias correction' was found to reduce the bias. Conclusions. The similarity factor f2 is a simple measure for the comparison of two dissolution profiles. But the commonly used similarity factor estimate ^f2 is a biased and conservative estimate of f2. The bootstrap approach is a useful tool to simulate the confidence interval.

    The Bioinequivalence of Carbamazepine Tablets with a History of Clinical Failures (1992)
    Springer
    Pharmaceutical research 9 (1992), S. 1612-1616

    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Abstract The bioavailability of three lots of a generic 200-mg carbamazepine tablet, which had been withdrawn from the market, was compared to the bioavailability of one lot of the innovator product in 24 healthy volunteers. Fifty-three lots of the generic product had been recalled by the manufacturer because of concerns over reports of clinical failures for several of the lots. The three generic lots tested in this study exhibited a wide range of bioavailability, as well as large differences in the in vitro dissolution rates. The mean maximum carbamazepine plasma concentrations for two of the generic lots were only 61-74% that of the innovator product, while the third lot was 142% of the innovator. The mean areas under the plasma concentration-time curve for the three generic lots ranged from 60 to 113% that of the innovator product. The results clearly indicate a significant difference in the rate and extent of absorption of the generic products compared to the innovator, as well as among the generic lots. A good relationship was found between the in vivo parameters and the in vitro dissolution results for the four dosage forms.
