Based on the fact that glycyrrhizic acid can form micelles in aqueous solution and play a role in solubilization, the optimal compatibility ratio between puerarin and glycyrrhizic acid was screened to prepare puerarin-glycyrrhizic acid dispersible tablets and investigate the dissolution of puerarin. The particle size, Zate potential and puerarin dissolution were compared among the micellar solutions with mass ratio of 7∶1, 6∶1, 5∶1, 4∶1, 3∶1 and 2∶1(puerarin to glycyrrhizic acid), and it was found that when the mass ratio of puerarin and glycyrrhizic acid was 5∶1, the micelle showed smallest particle size, uniform distribution, and largest puerarin dissolution, so mass ratio of 5∶1 was determined as the optimal condition. The formulation of puerarin-glycyrrhizic acid dispersible tablets was optimized by single factor and orthogonal test: puerarin 100.
