Abstract

The objective of this study was to develop oral matrix tablets for the sustained release of vitamin C. In this study hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) has been utilized as an excipient, as it is one of the most widely used polymers, for use during long periods of time in formations. The vitamin C tablet formulation depends on the molecular weight and concentration of sustained-delivery in HPMC. Anti-oxidants have been added as a dissolution medium in order to prevent vitamin C degradation in water. The dissolution test was carried out in a distilled water medium, and the release model equation was applied to analyze the vitamin C release pattern. The results demonstrated that the release and lasting power of vitamin C tablets, containing HPMC, lasted for more than 12 h.

본 연구에서는 널리 사용되는 수용성 비타민인 비타민 C의 지속성 특성을 발현시키기 위해 HPMC를 사용하여 정제를 제조하였다. 먼저 비타민 C 지속성 정제의 효과적인 용출실험을 진행하기 위해서 용출 용매에 비타민 C의 산화를 방지할 수 있는 항산화제를 첨가함으로써 수분에 의한 비타민 C의 분해를 방지하였다. 비타민 C 지속성 정제의 용출 거동을 확인하기 위해 "대한약전 9개정"과 "경구용의약품의 용출규격 설정 가이드라인"의 용출시험법과 "건강기능식품이 기준 및 규격 고시전문(제2009-153호)"에 근거하여 함량시험과 시간별 용출률을 분석하였다. 분석된 용출 거동은 zero-order release model과 Korsmeyer-Peppas model에 의해 겔 내에서의 활성 성분의 확산과 겔층의 소실로 인한 이의 유리 메카니즘이 분석되었다(37,38). 비타민 C 지속성 정제에 사용된 지속성 HPMC의 사용량이 증가할수록 위장관 운동의 영향에 관계없는 zero-order release의 용출 거동에 가까워짐을 확인하였다. 이는 정제에 사용된 HPMC의 사용량이 높을수록 물을 흡수하여 초기에 겔을 형성하는 속도가 빨라져 용출 속도가 감소함을 보여준다. 점도에 따른 차이는 비타민 C의 높은 수용성 성질 때문에 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 난용성 유효 성분을 적용한 처방에서는 수화능과 겔 형성능에 따라 점도별로 차이가 날 것으로 사료된다. 이는 Korsmeyer-Peppas model에 의한 메커니즘 분석에서 비타민 C의 겔 내 활성 성분의 확산이 겔 층의 소실로 인한 유리보다 다소 우세한 것으로 설명될 수 있다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 비타민 C는 수분에 대한 안정성이 부족함에도 지속성 정제로의 개발 및 용출분석이 가능하며, 지속성 고분자로 사용된 HPMC의 사용량에 따라 용출 거동을 조절할 수 있어 1일 2회 내지 1일 1회 요법의 비타민 C 지속성 정제의 제제화와 안정적인 용출분석을 수행할 수 있다. 건강기능식품에 고시된 비타민 C의 정량법인 HPLC법 및 본 연구를 통해 차이가 없음이 확인된 UV spectrophotometer를 사용한 평가방법을 통해 보다 편리하게 수행할 수 있다.
