OBJECTIVE: To investigate the similarity of dissolution curves between generic preparations and reference preparations of Bisacodyl enteric-coated tablets in various dissolution mediums, and to provide reference for improving production technology and internal quality of generic preparations. METHODS: Paddle method was adopted with rotation speed of 75 r/min. The dissolution test was performed using 1 000 mL pH 6.0 phosphate buffer solution, pH 6.8 phosphate buffer solution, water containing 2% sodium lauryl sulfate. HPLC method was used to determine average accumulative dissolution of main components from 3 kinds of generic preparations and reference preparations at different time points to draw out dissolution curves. Similarity factor (f2) method was used to the similarity of dissolution curves. RESULTS:Dissolution curves of reference preparations were basically the same in 3 kinds of dissolution mediums. But the dissolution curve f2 of one generic preparation among 3 manufactures to dissolution curve of reference preparation were ≥50, namely the similarity. CONCLUSIONS: The quality of generic Bisacodyl enteric-coated tablets produced by different manufacturers is obviously different; the generic preparations needs to be further improved in the production technology and internal quality. For domestic generic preparation, it is necessary to strengthen the real-time monitoring of its dissolution curve, to ensure the drug quality.
