  • Title: Controlled drug dissolution by radiation-induced polymerization in the presence of dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate-methyl methacrylate copolymer or methacrylic acid-methyl acrylate copolymer.

    Journal: J Pharm Sci; 1979 Jul; 68(7):860-2. PubMed ID: 458603.
    Abstract:
    Polymer-containing tablet preparation was studied using radiation-induced polymerization of glass-forming monomers at low temperatures in the presence of dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate-methyl methacrylate copolymer or methyl acrylate-methacrylic acid copolymer. Drug dissolution from tablets was in the pH 3.0-8.0 range. A copolymer contained in the tablets dissolved in the dissolution medium at a specific pH. Drug dissolution from tablets took place rapidly at pH greater than 6.0 in the presence of methyl acrylate-methacrylic acid copolymer and at pH less than 5.0 in the presence of dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate-methyl methacrylate copolymer. The polymers had fibrous or capillary pore structures in contrast to the spherical pore structures formed in the presence of polyethylene glycol 600.
