OBJECTIVE: To prepare Ibuprofen lysine sustained-release liquid suppository, and conduct the evaluation in vivo and in vitro. METHODS: Ibuprofen lysine sustained-release liquid suppository was prepared by using Poloxamer solution as main matrix, carbomer as bioadhesive agent, laurocapram as penetrant. The ratios of poloxamer 407 (P407)-poloxamer 188 (P188) and carbomer content were screened by using gel temperature, gel intensity, biological adhesion and release rate in vitro as indexes, and the concentration-time curves and pharmacokinetic parameters of prepared liquid suppository and common solid suppository after rectal administration in Beagle dogs in vivo were compared. RESULTS: When the P407-P188 ratio was 1 ∶ 1.2, the gel temperature of sustained-release liquid suppository was 30.4-38.1 ℃, which was the nearest to the rectal temperature; when the content of carbomer was 0.8%, the in vitro release of sustained-release liquid suppository was in zero-order model, with favorable correlation (R2=0.996). The tmax of common solid suppository was 3.206 h, then plasma concentration decreased significantly, release time did not exceed 12 h, AUC0-∞ was 501.826 mg·h/L; tmax of sustained-release liquid suppository was 8.814 h, then plasma concentration decreased, release time exceeded 24 h, AUC0-∞ was 715.489 mg·h/L. CONCLUSIONS: Ibuprofen lysine sustained-release liquid suppository is successfully prepared, which shows better sustained-release effect and excellent correlation in vivo and in vitro than common solid suppository.
