- INTRINSIC DISSOLUTION RATE (IDR)
- What is Intrinsic Dissolution Rate?
- The rate of dissolution is dependant on many
variables such as pH, viscosity, temperature etc.
Intrinsic dissolution rate is independant of these
variables
- How is it calculated?
- The Noyes Whitney equation is rearranged
so that area variable is kept constant
within the equation
- The equation can then be further simplified by
introducing the intrinsic dissolution rate constant (K)
- K takes care of D/h, Units = cm/s
- Simplied equation therefore:
- Example Questions
- 1.) When calculating anything using the IDR equation, you
have to first decide whether or not sink conditions apply.
This is done by working out 10% of Cs and then seeing how
it compares with C. If C less than 10% then sink applies
- 2.) If sink conditions apply then Cs-C becomes simply Cs
- 3.) Then convert all of the units so that they are the
same or similar
- 4.) Plug the values into the equation. The equation may
need to be rearranged
- Why do you measure IDR?
- This is measured to know what the rate of dissolution would be if
all variables were kept at a certain constant. So that if the rate of
dissolution does change we know that at least one of the
variables has changed
- This allows you to know how new drugs will
act when all variables are kept constant
- Dissolution Apparatus
- What does it do?
- This allows you to see how drugs will act
when in conditions similar to the human
body more specifically the small
intestines
- Methods
- Static Disc Method
- Can also be rotating disc method
- Apparatus
- Temperature is
37 degree as this
is human body
temperature
- Rotating paddle is used to make
the fluidity similar to that of the
intestines
- Drug is compressed to ensure there are no
pores in the drug so solution cannot affect
dissolution
- Hixson-Cromwell Cube Root Law
- Why is this used to the Noyes
Whitney Equation?
- The Noyes Whitney equation assumes that the
surface area of the particles remain constant but
in practice they dont. This equation takes into
account the changing surface area
- What is the equation?
- It can be arranged in such an
equation for a straight line
graph
- The equation says that the cube root of the undissolved
mass at time, t is the same as the cube root of mass at
the start minus cube root dissolution constant
- Example Question
- For this question you fill out a table like so. first you
work out the undissolved using the concentration.
Then find the dissolved. Finally cube root the
dissolved to to get the final answer
