Pharmaceutical Studies on Microencapsulated Etilefrine Hydrochloride

염산에틸에프린의 마이크로캅셀에 관한 약제학적 연구

Etilefrine hydrochloride was microencapsulated with ethylcellulose by phase separation method to develop a sustained release dosage form. The results of dissolution test carried out with various microcapsules showed that the drug release was decreased with increasing the particle size of microcapsules at a constant core to wall ratio, and with decreasing the core to wall ratio. Also ethylcellulose 50 cps and fast stirring rate (900 rpm) was better in decreasing the drug release than ethylcellulose 22 cps and slow stirring rate (300 rpm), respectively.
