DESENVOLVIMENTO DE FORMULAÇÃO NA FORMA DE SOLUÇÃO ORAL DE SILDENAFIL PARA USO NA DISFUNÇÃO ERÉTIL

Abstract

The sprouting of sildenafil citrate (CSLD) was presented as an oral therapeutical form effective for Erectile Dysfunction Treatment, however, sidenafil, in the tablet form, has a period of latency of 30 to 40 minutes, being lengthened if administrated with foods. Liquid formulations present advantages regarding latency period when comparable to solid formulations, beyond being also a viable alternative for pediatric use in Pulmonary hypertension, for being easier to be administrated and for allowing dosage adjustment. The present work had developed pharmaceutical formulations like oral form of solution and had submitted them to tests in not controlled conditions and Accelerated Stability Test described in the Resolution RE no 1, July 29th of 2005. It was used as methodology of analysis for dosing of the active ingredient High pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). The methodology was submitted to validation, obeying resolution RE no 899, May 29th of 2005.The solutions were tested initially in three concentrations (7,5, 5,0 and3.33%). The development of CSLD solutions was made in the 3,33%concentration, since in the other concentrations (5 and 7.5%), the active ingredient precipitated due to solubility problems in ambient temperature. The analytical methodology passed in the described tests of validation in the RE no 899 of May 29th of 2003 and showed a safe and efficient method to dosing CSLD in solution. The solutions with higher concentration of Soluphuor solutions kept throughout the time the characteristics of physical, chemical and microbiological stability, simulating the conditions of use in ambient temperature and through Accelerated Stability Test lead as Resolution RE no 1, July 29th of 2005 as well as in not controlled conditions (in use). While the solution with lower concentration of solvent demonstrated unstable regarding to the solubility due the lesser ratio of Soluphuor in the formulation, being therefore considered inadequate. Solutions when propagated in different liquids (water, beer, soda, whiskey)didn't have significant alterations regarding its organoleptics characteristics and nor had intervened with the physico-chemical stability concerning to the concentration of active ingredient. Concluding, the two solutions in the concentration of 3,33% formulated with bigger concentration of Soluphuor had presented good physical, chemical and microbiological stability and they possibly have easy industrial and commercial application therefore they can have lower time of latency in the Erectile Dysfunction.
