Development of a Novel Dapagliflozin Orally Disintegrating Tablets

The purpose of this study is to develop a novel dapagliflozin orally disintegrating tablet (DF-ODT) to improve medication compliance when administered orally for diabetics caused by chronic type 2. HPLC analytical method was established for quantification of dapagliflozin L-proline, selected as a stable dapagliflozin cyrstalline salt form, then the physicochemical properties and solubility were investigated. Various ODT formulations were prepared by using simple mixing and compression process. The effect of various excipients on tablet properties and impact of hardness on wetting and disintegrating time were investigated. Among the formulations tested, the formulation composed of dapagliflozin Lproline, Ludiflash？？, crospovidone, mint flavor powder, aspartame and Pruv？？ at the weight ratio of 7.8/168.2/9/4/4/2 showed the fastest wetting and disintegrating time with optimal hardness and friability. In addition, finally selected DF-ODT formulation showed the equivalence in the comparative dissolution test with Forxiga？？ (dapagliflozin commercial product). Therefore, this DF-ODT could be a potential alternative to the dapagliflozin commercial product with increased convenience in treating type 2 diabetes.
