ABSTRACT

To investigate the inhibitory effect of a commercial proton pump inhibitor (lansoprazole) on the gastric proton pump H+,K+-ATPase in vitro, we used orally disintegrating (OD) tablets including original brand-name and generic tablets. In the course of the development of generic products, dissolution and clinical tests are necessary to ensure their bioequivalence to the original brand-name products; by contrast, there is almost no opportunity to demonstrate their activity in vitro. This study initially compared the similarity of the dissolution of test generic tablets with that of the original brand-name tablets. The dissolution tests for 15 and 30-mg lansoprazole tablets found their dissolution properties were similar. Subsequently, the dissolution media were sampled and then their effects on the H+,K+-ATPase activity were measured using tubulovesicles prepared from the gastric mucosa of hogs. We confirmed that the inhibitory effects of the generic tablets on H+,K+-ATPase activity were consistent with those of the original brand-name tablets. Furthermore, lansoprazole contents in each tablet estimated from their inhibitory effects were in good agreement with their active pharmaceutical ingredient content. To our knowledge, this is the first technical report to compare the in vitro biochemical activity of lansoprazole OD tablets between the original brand-name and generic commercial products.
