Recebido em 5/7/10; aceito em 21/10/10; publicado na web em 26/1/11 ESTABLISHMENT OF DISSOLUTION TEST CONDITIONS FOR CINNARIZINE IN PHARMACEUTICAL CAPSULES USING FACTORIAL DESIGN. This work describes the establishment of dissolution test conditions for 75 mg cinnarizine capsules using a multivariate approach. A 2 3 full factorial design was carried out to achieve the best conditions and HCl 0.1 mol L -1 as dissolution medium, basket as apparatus at 100 rpm and collect time at 30 min were considered adequate. The quantification was carried out by spectrophotometry at 251 nm. Both dissolution procedure and analytical method were validated and all parameters were within the acceptable limits. Since there is no official monograph for this pharmaceutical product, this dissolution test could be applied for quality control routine.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
