Popis: We have designed, assembled, and tested an automatic dissolution apparatus using flow-injection analysis (FIA) techniques with spectrophotometric detection. The components (pumps, switching valves, detector, and so forth) that comprise the system are all readily-available items used primarily for high-performance liquid chromatography. The system performs well as evidenced by the usual tests for precision, response linearity, and dissolution behavior of standard U.S.P. calibrator (salicylic acid and prednisone) tablets, and offers siqnificant advantages over conventional continuous-flow dissolution testing methods with respect to simplicity, cost, and versatility. Dissolution tests on capsules of the antiviral drugs, DHPG and acyclovir, showed very similar drug release profiles for both formulations.
