摘　　要：[Objectives] To study the rheology and release kinetics of Chuanqi ophthalmic microemulsion in situ gel,so as to provide references for its future study and development. [Methods]The fluid properties and linear viscoelastic regions of this preparation were investigated by MCR 102 rheometer. The release kinetics of Chuanqi ophthalmic microemulsion in situ gel was evaluated by modified Franz diffusion cell method,the ligustrazine and ligustilide were selected as the indictors,and semi-permeable membrane was used as a barrier,sampling time point was 0. 5,1,2,4,6,and 8 h respectively. [Results]Chuanqi ophthalmic microemulsion in situ gel was a pseudoplastic fluid and it had a linear viscoelastic region. Taking the shear stress as the indicator,the linear viscoelastic region was 0-302. 74 Pa; taking the strain as the indicator,the linear viscoelastic region was 0-7. 45%. At the critical point,the storage modulus( G') = the loss modulus( G″) =2 976. 60 Pa,critical shear stress was 302. 74 Pa and critical strain was 7. 45%. The average cumulative release of ligustrazine of 6 samples within 8 h was 33. 71 μg,the average cumulative release rate reached 90. 08%,and the release kinetics followed Higuchi equation. The average cumulative release of ligustilide of 6 samples within 8 h was 68. 46 μg,the average cumulative release rate reached 84. 32%,and the release kinetics followed the zero-order kinetics equation. [Conclusions] Chuanqi ophthalmic microemulsion in situ gel has excellent viscoelasticity and its strain is reversible in a certain range. The release kinetics of ligustrazine is the result from synergistic effect of its physicochemical properties and matrix skeleton,while the release kinetics of ligustilide is mainly affected by its physicochemical properties.[Objectives] To study the rheology and release kinetics of Chuanqi ophthalmic microemulsion in situ gel,so as to provide references for its future study and development.
