Sodium Tripolyphosphate-Chitosan의 Polyelectrolyte Complex Coating이 Sulfanilamide 과립의 용출에 미치는 영향 = The Effect on the Dissolution Rate of Sulfanilamide Granules Coated with a Polyelectrolyte Complex of Sodium Tripolyphosphate-Chitosan

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Drug release from sulfanilamide granules coated with a polyelectrlyte complex of sodium tripolyphosphate and chitosan was studied. The coating film thickness increased with increasing concentration of chitosan in the coating solution and the drug release rates of the coated granules were significantly reduced comparing with those of the uncoated granules. $T_{50%}$ of the uncoated granules was 6 minutes, but those of the granules coated with chitosan-sodium tripolyphosphate from 0.5, 0.7, and 0.9% (w/v) chitosan-HCl solution were 27, 135, and 180 minutes, respectively in distilled water. In dissolution medium at pH 6.8, $T_{50%}$ of the uncoated granules was 4 minutes, but those of the granules coated with chitosan-sodium tripolyphosphate from 0.5, 0.7, and 0.9(w/v)% chitosan-HCl solution, were 32, 135, and 160 minutes, respectively.
