ABSTRACT


   Tablets1 of Vancomycin hydrochloride2, 3 were prepared by direct compression4, 5 method using Lactose (Direct Compression Lactose-21)6, 7 as diluent and Avicel 2006,7 as filler disintegrating agent, whereas Kollidon- CL (Crosslinked polyvinyl pyrollidone)8 was used as superdisintegrant. So before selection of all these excipients as well as direct compression method, the Preformulation study of drug Vancomycin hydrochloride is completed for successful formulation of tablet. The % compressibility was calculated of this drug which is required in the selection of direct compression method and was found 17.5% which suits for this direct compression method. The stability of drug was studied in distilled water and as well as in 0.1N HCl which was required for drug analysis to check release profile without degradation of drug in these solvent and found as such no degradation of drug in water as well as in the  0.1N HCl. The drug -excipient compatibility study is carried by simple physical mixing as well as by Infrared Spectroscopy (IR), and as such no major interaction was found between Vancomycin hydrochloride and all selected excipients (lactose, Avicel, Kollidon, Magnessium stearate and Aerosil). The drug release from tablet was studied by UV spectrophometer so interference of additives during analysis was also checked and as such no interference was found by any excipient in the estimation of drug. The solubility as well as partition coefficient of Vancomycin hydrochloride was also calculated and found 99210
mg / ml and 0.2142 respectively.

Key Words: Vancomycin hydrochloride, % compressibility, compatibility studies, partition coefficient, stability of drug, water, absorbance
