| Abstract: | The salts of fenoprofen formed with different metals have shown various crystal forms and solubility. The calcium salt has proved the most suitable characteristics for tablet and capsule production. Dissolution and absorption parameters of this substance were studied using in vitro and in vivo methods. The absorption rate and the correlation between pH and membrane diffusion rate constant were investigated in vitro using the "Sartorius" apparatus. The dissolution rate--depending on pH--was investigated by the oscillometric method. The in vivo disintegration of an experimental sample was compared with a commercial preparation. The comparison has been documented by endoscopic photography. |
