Therefore, it is very hard task to dissolve bisacodyl in alkaline medium so the objective of this study was the development of proper dissolution method for a new formulation of bisacodyl suppositories in a medium simulated to rectal region. Obviously, most of the bisacodyl suppositories preparation products will yield low percentages of dissolution in the alkaline medium of phosphate buffer pH 7.2.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Preparation inclusion complex of bisacodyl with the solubilizing agent beta-cyclodextrin then incorporated in a suppository base. The quantitative analysis of bisacodyl in suppositories was carried by a developed and validated high-performance liquid chromatography method.</p><p><strong>Results and Discussion</strong>: The dissolution rates for the innovated formulation of bisacodyl complexed with beta-cyclodextrin suppositories were in average of 97.5% and the stored suppositories of this formulation maintained their specified physical and chemical properties along the real stability study.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The application of the inclusion complexation technique of bisacodyl with beta-cyclodextrin in the production of suppositories enhances the dissolution rate and improves the stability of suppositories performance.</p> ER -
