To measure the intrinsic dissolution of the Salts of (((1-(6-amino-9H-purin-9-yl)propan-2-yloxy)methyl) (phenoxy) phosphoryloxy) methyl pivalate, samples were measured to compare the influence of the different parameter settings. At appropriate time intervals, an automated sample collector removes aliquots from the dissolution medium for analysis. The time interval for sampling can vary, for example, from 5 to 120 minutes, depending on the properties of the drug and dissolution medium used. Suitable dissolution equipment for these operations includes LAB INDIA DISSO 2000. Bath temperature—37.5° C.
200 mg of input API of each fumarate, oxalate, phosphate, citrate, succinate and tartrate Salts of (((1-(6-amino-9H-purin-9-yl)propan-2-yloxy)methyl) (phenoxy) phosphoryloxy) methyl pivalate used for pellet preparation.
The percentage of (((1-(6-amino-9H-purin-9-yl)propan-2-yloxy)methyl) (phenoxy) phosphoryloxy) methyl pivalate released from the respective salts tablet were plotted against time as shown in
The above data shows that phosphate salt has fastest dissolution profile, compared to other salts. Hence could be useful in an immediate released formulation. Whereas the oxalate salt has the slowest dissolution profile, compared to other salts, and therefore could be useful in a sustained released formulation.
