North Carolina, US) at 100 rpm and 37 ± 0.5 o C. The dissolutionmedium pH w<strong>as</strong> maintained <strong>as</strong> 1.2 by using 750 ml <strong>of</strong> 0.1 M hydrochloric acid <strong>for</strong> 2 hr. After2 hr operation, 150 ml <strong>of</strong> 0.20 M solution <strong>of</strong> dehydrogenate sodium ortho phosphate w<strong>as</strong>added into <strong>the</strong> vessel to give <strong>the</strong> final pH <strong>of</strong> 6.8 that h<strong>as</strong> been equilibrated to 37°C. Atpredetermined time intervals, samples were withdrawn <strong>for</strong> HPLC <strong>as</strong>say. All dissolutionstudies were per<strong>for</strong>med in triplicate. The difference in <strong>the</strong> rele<strong>as</strong>e pr<strong>of</strong>iles <strong>of</strong> different<strong>for</strong>mulations were investigated by calculating <strong>the</strong> similarity factor (f2) The f2 value (Eq. 1) isa logarithmic trans<strong>for</strong>mation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sum-squared error <strong>of</strong> differences between <strong>the</strong> test Tj andreference products Rj over all time points (n=6).f1 50 log[{1 (nn2 0.52 ( R ) )j 1 jTj}100](5.1)89 | P a g e
