Abstract

The objective of this work is the development of a technologically viable formulation of Captopril 25 mg tablets whose release is comparable to that of the innovator (Capoten®), using in vitro dissolution profiles as tools. Two formulations (F1 and F2) containing this active ingredient were designed. In each case, the characteristics of the mixtures obtained were evaluated to determine their technological feasibility, and F1 and F2 were found to be suitable for compression. For both formulations, the physicochemical parameters of the tablets were within the specifications of the regulations in force. The dissolution profiles of F1 and F2 were compared with those of the innovator in three media of different pH, applying model-dependent and model-independent methods. The in vitro dissolution profiles of F2 are similar to those of the innovator in the media studied, therefore F2 has a comparable in vitro release to Capoten®.
