摘要
A new capsule-type dosage form was investigated for colon-targeted delivery of drugs. The system was designed by imparting a tinted-release function and a pH-sensing function to a hard gelatin capsule. The technical characteristics of the system are to contain an organic acid together with an active ingredient in a capsule coated with a three-layered film consisting of an acid-soluble polymer, a water-soluble polymer, and an enteric polymer. In order to find the suitable formulation, various formulation factors were investigated through a series of in vitro dissolution studies. As a result, it was found that: (1) various organic acids can be used for this system; (2) a predictable timed-release mechanism of a drug can be attained by adjusting the thickness of the Eudragit(R) layer; and (3) the outer enteric coating with HPMC(R)-AS provided acceptable acid-resistibility. All these results suggested that this approach can provide a useful and practical means for colon-targeted delivery of drugs. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
