The aim of the work was to study the influence of excipients amount on the quality attributes of the tablet blend and tablets dapagliflozin using the random balance method.
Materials and Methods. The study used Dapagliflozin propanediol monohydrate, MCC 102, anhydrous lactose, crospovidone XL-10, colloidal anhydrous silicon dioxide (aerosil 200), magnesium stearate. The formulations were designed according to the random balance method. During the experiment, the appropriate amount of excipients was added to the Dapagliflozin propanediol monohydrate according to the planning matrix. Tablets were manufactured by direct compression. To characterise the quality of the resulting dosage form, there were analysed in accordance with the general pharmacopoeial articles for powders and tablets. The study was conducted on modern equipment.
Results and Discussion. The bulk density and tablet blend slope were improved with increase in the amount of lactose anhydrous 22 AN. Results of tablet blend slope and disintegration depended on amount of crospovidone XL-10. The decrease in the amount of aerosil 200 the bulk density and tapped density increase, ipmrove flowability and tablet blend slope. Higher hardness of tablets dapagliflozin was obtained by using lower amount of magnesium stearate.
Conclusions. Using the random balance method, the amount of 4 excipients at 3 levels was studied. According to the results of the study, it was found that the advantages of quality attributes were obtained when using 30.365 mg of lactose anhydrous 22 AN, 5 mg of crospovidone XL-10, 1.25 mg of colloidal silicon dioxide anhydrous (aerosil 200) and 0.625 mg of magnesium stearate per tablet. As a result of the experimental studies, the optimal composition of Dapagliflozin, 5 mg tablet cores were proposed.
