In vitro dissolution testing is an important tool used for pharmaceutical development and approval of generic medicinal product, playing a pivotal role in regulatory decision-making. This study includes evaluation and comparative analysis of in vitro dissolution profiles of Bisoprolol film-coated tablets and in vitro dissolution profile of a reference medicinal product, using several model-independent and model-dependent statistical methods. The evaluated medicinal product belongs to BCS Class I (high solubility, high permeability). The similarity testing of dissolution profile is performed on the highest strength of the dosage form, in accordance with the regulatory requirements for bioequivalence study. Obtained results have shown that in vitro comparative dissolution analysis using pair-wise independent-model procedures, such as difference (f 1) and similarity (f 2) factors are not suitable, because one of the requirements (not more than one mean value dissolves more than 85%, for any of the formulations) was not fulfilled. Therefore, the comparison of the similarity of dissolution profiles was performed using Ratio test methodology and multivariate model-independent approach based on generalized statistical distance (Mahalanobis distance). Furthermore, other model-dependent approaches coupled to multivariate statistics (Weibull) were applied. The obtained results from the performed analysis indicated a significant similarity of the compared in vitro dissolution profiles between the tested batches from bisoprolol film-coated tablets and reference medicinal product). Implemented statistical methods can be considered as a regulatory accepted concept for evaluation of in vitro similarity of generic medicines.
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.
