Objective To prepare tadalafil microparticles without carrier excipients by rapid membrane emulsification-solvent evaporation method and evaluate their drug release behavior in vitro. Methods Tadalafil microparticles without carrier and excipients were prepared by rapid membrane emulsification solvent volatilization method. The main drug was dissolved in an organic solvent as oil phase under ultrasonic at 50 ℃. The polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was dissolved in deionized water under the condition of magnetic stirring and heating, and the filtrate was obtained by vacuum pumping with a 0.45 μm microporous filter membrane as the aqueous phase. The oil phase and the water phase were mixed evenly by magnetic stirring to obtain the primary lotion. The primary lotion was poured into the rapid stainless steel membrane emulsifying device, pressurized with nitrogen, and the lotion was collected. After mixing the lotion with the curing liquid, it was cured until there was no smell of organic solvent, centrifugally washed and freeze-dried to obtain the freeze-dried powder of tadalafil microparticles. Taking the comprehensive evaluation of particle size and enthalpy change as the index, the organic solvent, PVA concentration, tadalafil mass concentration, oil-water phase volume ratio, film passing times, curing mode and pH value of curing solution were investigated by single factor method, and the optimal preparation conditions of tadalafil particles was preliminarily determined; The cumulative release rates of tadalafil and its microparticles at different time points were measured and compared by direct release method, and the release behavior was fitted by mathematical model. Results After single factor investigation, the preparation conditions of tadalafil microparticles were preliminarily determined as follows: organic solvent ethyl acetate, PVA concentration of 3%, oil-water phase volume ratio of 1: 1, drug mass concentration of 5 mg·mL-1, curing liquid pH = 4.5, four-stage series stainless steel membrane passing through the membrane once, and curing by rotary evaporator. The average D10, D50, D90 of tadalafil microparticles were 30.3、 72.0、 126.0 μm, under scanning electron microscope, tadalafil microparticles showed a relatively uniform strip. The enthalpy change value measured by differential scanning calorimetry was 2 033.8 mJ·mg-1·s-1. The differential scanning calorimetry showed that the crystallinity of tadalafil microparticles decreased. The average drug mass fraction was 99.07%. The cumulative release rate of tadalafil microparticles was 94.00% at 4 h, while the release of API was only 54.56% at 4 h, the release of both in vitro conforms to the logistic equation. Conclusion The particles prepared by rapid membrane emulsification-solvent evaporation method can make the tadalafil microparticle size more uniform, reduce the degree of crystallization, and improve the dissolution, which shows that this method can be used to improve the bioavailability of insoluble drugs.
