S. Yokoyama et al., RELEASE OF NICOTINAMIDE (NAA) FROM THERMOSENSITIVE FATTY-ACID NAA COMPLEX COATED WITH CELLULOSE-ACETATE PHTHALATE, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 42(11), 1994, pp. 2388-2390
The release of nicotinamide (NAA) from the thermo-sensitive octadecano
ic acid complex (C18-NAA) coated with cellulose acetate phthalate was
investigated in pH 1.2 and 6.8 aqueous media. No release of NAA from t
he enteric-coated C18-NAA was found at pH 1.2, while NAA was released
at pH 6.8 in response to the temperature. It was confirmed that the th
ermo-sensitivity of C18-NAA is not affected by the enteric-coating tre
atment.
