It can be used to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis diseases. Nintedanib has poor solubility in the intestinal tract environment, which leads to low bioavailability of just 4.7%. Methods: In this study, a nintedanib solid dispersion was prepared by electrospray technology with an optimized formula (nintedanib:PVPK30:Soybean lecithin=1:5:0.25) and electrospray parameters (21 kV voltage, 18 cm receiving distance, 0.3 mL/h solution flow rate, 0.5 mm pinhole inner diameter). Results: The accumulative release rate of the optimized solid dispersion was more than 60% in 30 minutes and 100% in 60 minutes. The size distribution was uniform and the surface observed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was smooth. The DSC and X-ray diffraction results showed that nintedanib existed in the solid dispersion through an amorphous form. Nintedanib solid dispersion sustained-release capsules were prepared to prolong drug release, improve patient compliance and reduce side effects. The accumulative release rate from the sustained release capsules was 35.17%, 54.78%, 70.58%, and 93.93% after 2 h, 6 h, 8 h, and 12 h, respectively, having obvious sustained release effects in vitro. The release behavior of solid dispersion sustained-release capsules in vitro was in accordance with the Ritger-Peppas model. The in vivo studies of nintedanib soft capsules, solid dispersion and nintedanib sustained release capsules in SD rats were investigated; the results showed that the Tmax of the soft capsule, solid dispersion and sustained release capsules were 3 h, 2 h, and 6 h, respectively. The Cmax were 2.945 mg/mL, 5.32 mg/mL, and 3.75 mg/mL, respectively, while the AUC0–24 h was 15.124 mg·h/mL, 23.438 mg·h/mL, and 24.584 mg·h/mL, respectively. The relevant bioavailability of the sustained-release capsules was 162.55% compared to the nintedanib soft capsule and 104.89% compared to the nintedanib solid dispersion.Conclusion: The results suggested superior bioavailability and a sustained-release effect from nintedanib sustained-release capsules, as compared to the reference (commercial nintedanib soft capsule).
