Based on available studies regarding gelatin and vegetable shells, we developed a new type of algal polysaccharide capsule (APPC) shells. To test whether our products can replace commercial gelatin shells, we measured in-vivo plasma concentration of 12 selected volunteers with a model drug, ibuprofen, using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), by calculating the relative bioavailability of APPC and Qualicaps referenced to gelatin capsules and assessing bioequivalence of the three types of shells, and calculated pharmacokinetic parameters with the software DAS 2.0 (China). The results show that APPC shells possess bioequivalence with Qualicaps and gelatin shells. Moreover, the disintegration behavior of four types of shells (APPC, Vegcaps , Qualicaps and gelatin shells) with the content of lactose and radioactive element (99mTc) was observed via gamma-scintigraphic images. The bioavailability and gamma-scintigraphic studies showed that APPC was not statistically different from other vegetable and gelatin capsule shells with respect to in-vivo behavior. Hence, it can be concluded that APPCs are exchangeable with other vegetable and gelatin shells.展开更多

The HPLC method consists of isocratic eluation with a mixture of 60% buffer （10 mM sodium dihyrogenphosphate-10 mM sodium dodecyl sulphate） and 40% acetonitrile with final pH 7.0 with flow rate of 1.0 mL/min on a Kromasil~ Akzo Nobel RP-18 （4.6 mm ID ~ 250 mm, 5 ~tm） column at an ambient temperature. Photo diode array detection was performed in program mode at 234 rim. The analyte and diazepam as internal standard （IS） were extracted from plasma using 10% trichloroacetic acid. The assay was linear over the therapeutic concentration range of 20-2,500 ng/mL for metformin HCI with correlation coefficient of r = 0.9999. Limit of quantitation was 20 ng/mL. The results obtained for intraJinter day accuracy and precision complied very well with the generally accepted criteria for bio-analytical assay. The method was applied to bioequivalence （BE） study of metformin HCI in healthy Indonesian volunteers after treatment with 750 mg XR metformin HCI. This BE study shows that the two formulations are equivalent so that they were therapeutically interchangeable for each other.展开更多
