The purpose of this paper was to prepare and evaluate solid dispersions (SD) that can increase the dissolution rate of dexibuprofen as a model drug with low solubility in water using saccharides and sugar alcohols as dispersion materials. DSC, XRD, content and content uniformity test, dissolution test, and disintegration test were conducted for physicochemical evaluation of the prepared SD. For the results, it was confirmed using differential scanning calorimetry that fructose, which has a melting point around 120 ℃ of the device operating temperature range, is a suitable excipient for the preparation of SD by the rotary hot-melt granulation (RHMG) method. X-ray diffraction analysis was conducted to confirm that the crystallinity of dexibuprofen was reduced. Disintegration test of the prepared tablet using SD-containing dexibuprofen and fructose confirmed a very fast disintegration time within 1~2 seconds and also showed that the dissolution rate was about 20% faster than that of the dexibuprofen raw material. Dexibuprofen with reduced crystallinity by SD confirmed through the RHMG method can be used to increase the dissolution rate of the drug and increase the disintegration time of the tablet. Thus, it can be used in the manufacturing of various solid preparations.

The optical purity of 11 commercial dexibuprofens and 7 ibuprofens sold in Korea in 2013 were examined by chiral HPLC. The Chiralcel OD-H column and LUX-Cellulose-1 column were used as chiral stationary phases and the mixed eluent of hexane:isopropanol:acetic acid as 100:1:0.1 was used as a mobile phase with a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. Each data was obtained from an average value of at least three different experiments for each sample and the average value of relative standard deviation of them appeared very small, 0.19%. Average optical purity value (97.5%) of eleven commercial dexibuprofens used in this study were smaller than those of 9 years ago (99.2%), but larger than four years ago (95.6%). Enantiomeric ratios of (R)- and (S)-isomers of seven ibuprofen samples used in this experiment were achieved at about 50:50 which was different with the result (44:56) from four years ago.

Recently, change of Western pattern diet and lifestyle is caused by various metabolic disorders and chronic diseases. These diseases need to take medicine regularly. Also, many people take health functional food, various vitamins and nutritional supplements in order to maintain a healthy life. But, there was no study about affects taking medicines against bacteria with gastrointestinal relevance. This study was performed by antibacterial activity test to evaluate the influence of a long time or commonly used medication. As a result, medicines of Vitamins & Minerals or Central nervous system show antibacterial activity against beneficial enteric bacteria and harmful enteric bacteria. Dexibuprofen of the Anti-inflammatory Drugs that acts on the central nervous system has shown high antibacterial activity at beneficial enteric bacteria strains (Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus rhamnosus) and harmful enteric bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus). Also, fenofibric acid of the antilipemic agents that acts on the Cardiovascular & Hematopoietic system has shown high antibacterial activity at beneficial enteric bacteria strains (Lactobacillus casei). Vitamins & Minerals appeared antibacterial activity against most intestinal bacteria. Vitamin B-Complex/with C and vitamin C were especially high with beneficial enteric bacteria strains (Bifidobacterium infantis) and harmful enteric bacteria (E. coli, E. aerogenes, S. flexneri, S. Typhimurium, S. aureus). Therefore, these results indicate that variously taking medicines have generally antibacterial activity against harmful enteric bacteria strains and beneficial enteric bacteria strains.
