Hi,
I have UTFSE and found only a couple of postings, but nothing to confirm a simple method for minimizing the fillers/binders in a Dextrostat IR 10mgs.
Dextroamphetamine sulfate is freely soluble in water (about 1:10) and slightly soluble in alcohol (about 1:800).
Each tablet, for oral administration, contains Dextroamphetamine sulfate, USP, 5 mg or 10 mg. Inactive ingredients: D&C Yellow No. 10, FD&C Blue No. 2, FD&C Red No. 40, hydrated alumina, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, and stearic acid.
The 5 mg also contains: mannitol, povidone, and starch.
The 10 mg also contains: lactose monohydrate, maltodextrin, and sodium starch glycolate sugar compressible.
I went through each ingredient and looked at water and organic solvent solubility.
It seems like a cold water extraction (using at least 10:1 water to d-amp sulfate ratio) may filter everything except for the d-amp sulfate, lactose monohydrate, maltodextrin, and sodium starch glycolate sugar compressible, and colorings.
To use an organic solvent next, what would be the point?
Since I am not an experienced chemist, I may not attempt anything more than a CWE.
Any input or experience or references would be appreciated.
