Evaluating bioequivalence of meloxicam tablets: is in-vitro dissolution test overdiscriminating?
Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology 2018 Februrary
OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to assess the impact of the differences in dissolution profiles of meloxicam tablets on the in-vivo bioavailability parameters after oral administration.
METHODS: Compare in-vitro dissolution testing in the recommended media to evaluate in-vivo bioequivalence outcomes for the Biopharmaceutics Classification System Class II weak acidic drugs. Nine Beagle dogs received a single oral administration of each formulation (7.5 mg) in a three-way crossover design.
KEY FINDINGS: The dissolution of meloxicam from both test products showed marked differences with that from the reference tablet in pH 1.0, 4.5 and 6.8 media at 50 or 75 rpm. Both formulations exhibiting slow or fast dissolution were then compared with the reference product for in-vivo bioequivalence study. Both products were bioequivalent with the reference tablet in either extent or rate of oral absorption. It indicated that the dissolution profiles which discriminated between the formulations in vitro did not accurately predict the in-vivo bioequivalence outcomes.
CONCLUSIONS: Comparative dissolution profiles using similarity factor (f2 ) in the recommended media should be relaxed to fulfil the requirements for the development, scale-up and postapproval changes to immediate release oral solid dosage forms of meloxicam.
