Physical and enteric properties of soft gelatin capsules coated with eudragit ® L 30 D-55
摘要：
The enteric coating of soft gelatin capsules (SGC) containing ibuprofen in either PEG 400 or Miglyol© was investigated. The effects of two plasticizers, triethyl citrate (TEC) and tributyl citrate (TBC), on the physical and enteric properties of SGC coated with Eudragit ® L 30 D-55 were studied. The water soluble plasticizer TEC was found to be a good plasticizing agent for the Eudragit® L 30 D-55 irrespective of the fill liquid, while the TBC provided satisfactory results only for capsules containing the hydrophobic fill liquid, Miglyol ®. The combination of TEC and TBC provided effective plasticization for the acrylic coating regardless of the fill liquid. A subcoat of HPMC showed no effect on the enteric protection of either Miglyol® - and PEG-containing capsules that were stored at room temperature and zero percent relative humidity. The moisture content of the gelatin shell of the film coated SGC stored at room temperature and at 0 or 96% relative humidity was followed as a function of time. The load strength of the capsules was measured during 3 months of storage using an Instron universal testing apparatus, and the physical-mechanical properties of the capsules were correlated with the moisture content of the SGC. As the moisture content of the gelatin decreased, all formulations exhibited an increase in load strength.
