OBJECTIVE: To prepare Carbinoxamine maleate sustained-release suspension, and evaluate its quality. METHODS: Using carbinoxamine maleate as raw material, drug-loaded resin was prepared by cation exchange resin; surface coating method was used to finally prepare sustained-release suspension, using Eudragit RS100 as sustained-release coating material to prepare sustained-release microparticles. HPLC was conducted to determine the content of carbinoxamine maleate, release degree of original preparations and self-made suspensions was compared, drug-loading capacity was calculated. RESULTS: The drug amount in preparing drug-loaded resin was 2%, reaction temperature was 25 ℃, and reaction time was 4 h; the drug-loading capacity in surface coating was 35%, amount of coating material was 10%, and reaction temperature was 40 ℃. The drug-loading capacities of sustained particles before and after coating were 35.23%, 32.72%, respectively; the yield was 96.82%. The carbinoxamine maleate in prepared sustained-release suspension accounted for 98.76% of the labeled amount; release degree in 10 h reached about 80%, f2 was 65.73. CONCLUSIONS: Carbinoxamine maleate sustained-release suspension is prepared successfully, and its release is similar to the original preparation.
