Dissertação (Mestrado em Ciências Farmacêuticas) - Universidade Federal de Goiás, Goiânia, 2014.http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/tede/handle/tede/7463Pellets are spherical solid oral dosage forms that can be used in the development of new pharmaceutical products with standardized plant extracts. Brosimum gaudichaudii Trécul (Moraceae) and Lafoensia pacari A. St.-Hil. (Lythraceae) are typical species from the Cerrado biome. The extract obtained from the roots of B. gaudichaudii is traditionally used in the treatment of vitiligo, its effectiveness is due to the presence of the chemical markers psoralen and bergapten. As for L. pacari, the barks of the branches and trunk are traditionally used in the treatment of gastric ulcers, highly valued for there anti-inflammatory and wound healing because of there ellagic acid content. For each of these species optimal extractive methods exist to obtain standardized liquid extracts. However there are no studies that propose the development of solid oral dosage forms from them. Thus, the present study is aimed at obtaining pellets from the standardized liquid extract of the B. gaudichaudii roots, furthermore to determine the efficiency of a photoprotector coating on the stability of psoralen and bergapten and also obtaining pellets with standardized liquid extract of the L. pacari barks from the branches and trunk. The B. gaudichaudii roots were collected in the city of Jussara, Goiás, and the L. pacari barks in Niquelândia, Goiás. Separately, the raw materials were cleaned, dried in an oven with forced air circulation, then subsequently milled for the extractive process. After the standard liquid extract of B. gaudichaudii had been obtained, six formulas were developed at bench scale. Among these, one stood out by the homogeneity of the lot and the sphericity of its pellets. This formula had been selected to be sacaled-up and it`s composition had been formed by 49.5% (w/w) of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), 1% (w/w) of hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC) and 49.5% (w/w) of that extract. The pellets obtained from the scaled formula were divided into two portions, one of them had been coated with a photoprotective layer and both were subjected to a photostability test. The degradation of the markers had been evident only in the uncoated pellets. The reduction of 1.87% (w/w) in the content of psoralen and 8.1% (w/w) in bergapten content had been observed after 3 J/cm2 exposure to UVB radiation. After exposing to 30 J/cm2 of UVA, there had been a reduction of 24.1% (w/w) of psoralen and 28.48% (w/w) of bergapten. Therefore, the application of the photoprotective coating had been an effective alternative and ensured the stability of the chemical markers after the test. With respect to the liquid extract of L. pacari, 13 formulas were obtained among which only two formed pellets whose batch homogeneity had been greater than 70%. Among them, only one had been chosen to obtain the first scaled-up model. With the production of the scaled-up batch, it had been observed that formulas prepared with a lower proportion of standardized liquid extract of L. pacari had enabled us to obtaing more homogeneous, spherical and a smoother pellets. Based on these results and due to the innovative character of the studies, this work can be used as a model for future trials designed to obtain pellets with standardized liquid extract of B. gaudichaudii or L. pacari.application/pdfAcesso AbertoExtrusãoEsferonizaçãoPsoralenoBergaptenoFotoestabilidadeÁcido elágicoExtrusionSpheronizationPsoralenBergaptenPhotostabilityEllagic acidCIENCIAS BIOLOGICAS::FARMACOLOGIADissertação
