A methodology for producing a pediatric medicinal formulation consisting of granules containing an extract of the milk-white iris (MWIE) was developed. Accessory substances were selected on the basis of the high hygroscopicity and low solubulity of the extract; the optimum conditions for granule production were selected (structural granule formation in a semifluidized bed process). The yield of granules using this methodology was 97.5%. Granules containing MWIE were not toxic (LD 50 = 5.0 -7.7 g/kg) and positive results were obtained on assessment of immunotropic activity. The Manufacturer's Pharmacopeia Article and laboratory guidelines were developed for the pediatric MWIE-containing medicinal granules.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
