Abstract: This article aims to prepare florfenicol amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) to improve its solubility and bioavailability. The florfenicol ASD was prepared by antisolvent coprecipitation method with hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose acetate succinate (HPMCAS-MF) as carrier. The ASD was characterized by X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis and scanning electron microscopy. The in vitro and in vivo release of florfenicol was studied by dissolution and pharmacokinetics. When the ratio of florfenicol to carrier was 5:5, a solid dispersion was formed. The results showed that there was no crystal diffraction peak of florfenicol and no specific melting point peak of florfenicol. The SEM results showed that the surface of florfenicol ASD was loose and porous, and increased the surface area, and the saturated solubility of florfenicol increased by 4.8 times, and the relative bioavailability increased by 37.2%, and no drug crystal peak appeared in the solid dispersion within 3 months. The results showed that the new solid dispersion of florfenicol prepared by co-precipitation method has good stability and could effectively improve the solubility and bioavailability of florfenicol.

Key words: florfenicol, amorphous solid dispersion, solubility, co-precipitation method
