1.1 Theophylline sustained-release pellets

a) Formulation

The formulation is designed for 500g of pure theophylline pellets (Spherofillin [1];
diameter 0.8-1.3mm)

Polymer suspension Kollicoat® SR 30 D [1] 223.67g


Propylene glycol [1] 6.71g
Water 149.86g

Pigment suspension Kollidon® 30 [1] 2.24g

Sicovit® Red 30 [1] 2.24g
Talc [3] 15.66g
Water 44.73g

b) Preparation of the spray suspension

Polymer suspension Add propylene glycol followed by Kollicoat® SR


30 D to the given quantity of water with stirring.

Pigment suspension Dissolve Kollidon® 30 in the given quantity of


water. Add Sicovit® Red 30, titanium dioxide and
talc with vigorous stirring and homogenize the
mixture in a corundum disk mill.

c) Coating

The pellets were coated in an Aeromatic Strea-1 (Aeromatic AG). The suspension
was sprayed continuously onto the fluidized, pre-heated pellets from the top.

Process parameters Inlet air temperature 60°C


Outlet air temperature 37°C
Product temperature 38°C
Air flow 80m³/h
Nozzle diameter 0.8mm
Spraying rate approx. 11.5g/min
Spraying time 39 min
Atomizing pressure 1.0bar
Drying 45°C/ 5min
Coating weight 2mg film former/cm²

The coating weight of 2mg film former / cm² given here was determined from the
surface area of the pellets. Since the particle size distribution and surface structure
influence the polymer quantity required, calculating the surface area is recommended
as a means of estimating the required coating weight in each specific case.
