    IntroductoryRemarks

    The first GUIDELINES FOR DISSO LUT ION TE STI N G OFSOLID ORAL PRODUCT S werepublished in 1981 [I] as a joint

    report of the Section for Official Laboratoriesand Medicines Control Services and me Section

    of Industrial Pharmacists of the F.l.P. Th eseGu ide lines were intended as suggestions primarily directed to compendial cOlllmittees, workingon the introduction of dissolution/ release testsfor the respective Phannacopoeias.

    Du ring the past decade, there have beenma ll}1 developments. Biopha rmaceutics hasattracted much interest scientifically as well 3Srega rding drug regulatory policies. Dissolutiontest methodology has been introduced to manyPhannacopoeias and a number of regulationsand guidelines on bioavailability, bioequivalenceand in vitro dissolmion testing have been issued

    at national and international levels.Th ese updated Guidel ines (second edition)

    are :he result of careful discussions of the joint0rking g roup of the two F.l.P. sections and are

    based on recent developments. Descriptions o ftest methodo logy are no longer necessary,because they are already published elsewhere,officially or semi-officially. Differences betweenthe regulations of differem countries and compendias were iden tified and proposals for harmonisation are made.

    s far as is reasonable for the purpose of theseGuidelines, rechnical terllls and definitions havebeen adopted from other hannonised recommentions and mainly correspond to USP-renninology. New tenns are in vitro-in ~ v ocomparison," Verification and "side batches. In

    vitro-in vivo comparison" means any study collecting in vitro- and in vivo-data 011 the sallle setof test specimen to obtain information andunderstanding about how in vitro and in vivoperformance are related to each other, A significant in vitro-in vh'o correlation can be a result ofan in vitro-in vivo comparison study, hm valuableinfornlatioll could also be obtained when no correlation in a strict sense (e.g. USP levels) isachieved. 'I'Ver ification is used to define the invivo data set which provides evidence that a chosen in vitro test method and the proposed limitSare suitab le for the drug fonnu lation in tenns of

    biophann3ceutical perfonnance. "Ver ification isproposed as a new tenllinus technicus to avoidthe extension of "validation on in vivo investigations. "Side batches') are batches of a givendnlg fonnulation which represent the intendedupper and lower dissolution limits. The) ' are preferrably to be derived from the defined manufacturing process by setting process parameterswithin the range of maximum variability expected frolll process validation studies. The termdissolution" itself is used for all dosage forms,

    1. once pts o f D issol u tion TestingIn vitro dissolution testing serves as an important rool for chanlc

    rerising the biopharll1:Jccuticalquality of a product at different stagesin its lifccycle. III early drug dcveloplllcm in vitro dissolution properties arc supportive for choosing between different alternative (annubtion candidates for further development and for evaluation of activeingredientv'drug 5ubst:1I1CCS. In vitro dissolution data are slipporti\,cin the evaluation and imerpretation of possible risks, especi;:dly in thec,lse of controlled/modified-release dosage fonns - e.g. as regardsdose dumping, food effects on bioavailibilityor interactio n with otherdrugs, which innuence g:lsrrointestinal environmenl;ll conditions.Biophannaceutical aspects are as important for stability concems asthey ,Ire for batch release after production, in vitro dissolution beingof high relevance in quality control and quality assurance. Last burnor least, in vitro dissolution data will be of great importance whenassessing ch'lIlges in production site, manufacturing process or forIllulation and assist in decisions conceming the need for bioavaibbility studies.

    None of these purposes can be fulfilled by an in vitro test systemwithout sufficient reliability. Reliabilityhe re would be defined as thesystem being experimentally sound,yielding precise, accurate, repeatable results and with sufficient knowledge of the in vivo relevance ofthe dissolution data obt:lined.

    telll design was adopted as firs( official method in USP XVIII in1970, described as rhe rotating basket (apparanlS I, USP).

    The rotating basket and the paddle (apparatus 2, USP) devices

    arc simple, robust and adequately standardised apparatuseswhich areused all around the world and thus arc supported by the widest experience of experilllemaluse. Jt is because of these advantages that rhepaddle and rotating hasket app:lranlses are recommended in variousguidelines as first choice for the in vitro dissolution testing of immediate as well as controlled/modified-release preparations.

    I lowever, because of the "single container" nature of the paddle/hasket apparatusexperimental difficulties may ilrisc in tenn s ofrhe nced of a change in pH or of any other (p,lrtial) change in the testmcd ium during an investigation. Furthermore , difficulties arise for anumber of sparingly soluble dm gs and for some dosage fonns, particuhuly aerophilic multiple unit dosage fonns that, tend to float initially. Proposals h:lVe been made to increase solubility by addition of.1Il ;lppropri:ltcamount of surfactant.

Neither too tight restrictions nor unnecessary proliferation ofalternative dissolution apparatusesshould be encouraged. If an individ-ual drug product cannot be accomo-dated by one of the apparatuses,described above, alternative modelsor appropriate modifications have tobe developed.However, in such a casesuperiority of the alternative or themodification has to be proven incomparison to the well establishedand standardised ilpparatuses. In thepast, many papers intended to justityan alternative model by proving thatin vitro dissolutionresultswere equivalentor similarto those obtained withe.g. the paddle method.According to the under-standing of these II

    The p H of the test medium should be set within pH I and 6.8. Ahigher p H needs to be justified on a case-by-casebasis and in general shuuld not exceed pH 8. For low pH in the acidic range He l
