EVALUATION OF COMPATIBILITY OF PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATION EXCIPIENTS WITH ETODOLAC Authors: Saminathan C , VENKATESAN P AND MADHUSUDHAN S
ABSTRACT
Selection of Pharmaceutical excipients based on drug excipient compatibility is a part of
preformulation study. The compatibility between etodolac and commonly used pharmaceutical
excipients in the formulation of nanoparticles was assessed by using Fourier-transform infrared
spectroscopy (FTIR) and Differential scanning colorimeter (DSC). The study was carried out by
using drug and its pharmaceutical excipients individually and their physical mixture with ratio of
1:1. Results showed that no interactions between etodolac and pharmaceutical formulation
excipients were observed by both Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and Differential
scanning colorimeter. Drug excipient compatibility study of etodolac loaded nanoparticles
confirmed the absence of drug excipient interaction in the Nano formulation. Hence, results of
the study concluded that modified release nanoparticles of etodolac can be successfully prepared
by using Eutragit RS 100 as coating material.
