Objective: This study is to formulate Nebivolol into a Pulsatile liquid, solid composite compression coated tablet, which will delay the release of the drug in early morning hypertension conditions. Methods: The liquid, solid composite tablet was formulated and compressed with the ethylcellulose coating polymer. The percent in vitro drug release of the liquid solid composite compressed tablet was tested. Based on disintegration time and wetting time, the LCS2, LCS3, LSC6, LCS7 and LCS12 formulations were found to be the optimized solid-liquid compacts fast-dissolving core tablet formulations, which may be excellent candidates for further coating with polymer to transfer into press coated pulsatile tablet formulations. Coating the core tablet with varying ethyl cellulose concentrations resulted in five different formulations of the pulsatile press-coated tablet (CT1, CT2, CT3, CT4, CT5). In vitro drug release, in vitro release, kinetic studies, in vivo pharmacokinetic and stability tests were all performed for the prepared pulsatile press coated tablet. Results: CT3 tablets are coated with ethyl cellulose polymer, which shows maximum controlled drug release from the core tablet i.e. 96.34±1.2% at 8th h. It shows there was an efficient delay in drug release form core tablet i.e. up to 3 h, followed by the maximum amount of drug release of 96.34±2.4 at 8h. Which shows the core drug will be more efficiently protected from the gastric acid environment 1.2 pH, duodenal environment 4.0 pH and release drug only in the small intestine. Conclusion: According to the findings, CT3 Pulsatile press-coated tablet increased the bioavailability of Nebivolol by 3.11 percent.

Merck, Tbk. merupakan perusahaan manufaktur yang bergerak di bidang pembuatan obat dengan memproduksi obat yang dituju untuk pasar over-the-counter (OTC) seperti Sangobion dan Neurobion dan juga pasar obat resep untuk rumah sakit. Berdasarkan Packaging Work Sheet (PWS) dari produk “X” yang diproduksi di PT. Merck, Tbk. ditemukan rekonsiliasi pada finished goods yang melebihi spesifikasi yang telah ditentukan sebelumnya oleh perusahaan. Rekonsiliasi merupakan perbedaan antara jumlah material yang masuk dengan material yang keluar sehingga jika rekonsiliasi melebihi yang seharusnya maka PT. Merck, Tbk. dapat mengalami kerugian karena jumlah material yang jadi tidak sesuai dengan material yang diproduksi. Berdasarkan permasalahan yang terjadi, maka penulis melakukan pengolahan data menggunakan hipotesis statistik dengan menggunakan metode pengujian Independent Sample T-Test untuk mengetahui proses produksi apa yang berpotensi menyebabkan rekonsiliasi pada finished goods produk “X”. Dengan diketahuinya penyebab dari rekonsiliasi maka dapat dicari solusi yang tepat untuk mengatasi rekonsiliasi tersebut. Dari pengolahan data yang dilakukan, ditemukan bahwa terdapat perbedaan secara nyata antara berat rata-rata core tablet dengan berat coated tablet yang menandakan bahwa proses sugar coating berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap variasi berat yang berpotensi menyebabkan rekonsiliasi. Oleh karena itu, ditentukan solusi yang tepat untuk memperbaiki proses tersebut.

The objective of this research work was to prepare a chrono modulated delivery system to meet chronopharmacological needs of asthma. In this study theophylline was selected as a model drug. To meet this objective we considered an initial lag phase of release for 3-5 hrs and later a rapid (surge) release phase. To achieve surge release a rapidly releasing core tablet of theophylline was developed by admixing theophylline with effervescent granules and super disintegrants. The lag phase in release was achieved by coating the EV core tablets with release retarding polymer EUDRAGIT RS-100 containing HPMC, further over coated with enteric polymer CAP. The results indicate that a rapidly releasing EV tablet of theophylline cab be developed which when coated with the polymers a lag phase of 2 hrs was achievable followed by a surge release.

Objective: Lansoprazole an proton pump inhibitor, degrades in acidic environment, hence protection of drug is done by coating the drug with enteric coating polymers. The aim and objective of the present study was to prepare enteric coated delayed release tablets of lansoprazole by using press coating technique. Methods: Core tablets were prepared by direct compression and evaluated for their physico-chemical properties. Press coated tablets were formulated by using different combinations of ethyl cellulose, HPMC E15 and HPMC K4M as a coating layer. Core and coated tablets were optimized by dissolution studies. Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) studies were performed to know the compatibility of drug with various excipients. Surface morphology and uniformity of coat was evaluated by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Stability of optimized formulation was evaluated according to ICH guidelines. Results: Among the various formulations F5 containing ethyl cellulose: HPMC E15 (10:90) and F9 containing ethyl cellulose: HPMC K4M (25:75) were optimized based on the better drug release within 8 h. DSC studies and FTIR studies revealed compatibility of drug with excipients. Obtained SEM photographs of tablets showed that the surface of core tablet is uniformly coated with coat by press coating. Stability studies showed that the formulations were stable. Conclusion: As a result, delayed release press coated tablets developed in this study delivered lansoprazole in the intestine and protected the drug from degradation.

The objective of this study was to prepare and evaluate chronotherapeutic drug delivery systems (ChrDDs) of torsemide. Compression coated tablets (CCT) containing torsemide in the core tablet were prepared by the compression coating technique with different grades of polyethylene oxide (PEO WSR 301 & 1105). The optimized formulations were characterised for tabletting parameters and drug polymer interaction by Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR).The hardness of all the CCT using PEO WSR 301 & PEO WSR 1105 were in the range 6-8 kg/cm² & 5.5 to 7 kg/cm² respectively. Their friability values were <0.3%. All the CCT showed a clear lag time but finalized as per the predetermined lag time. As the amount of PEO was increased in the outer layer the drug released was delayed. The drug content of all the CCT was >99%. The FTIR studies showed no interaction throughout the process of development. Formulations of F7 and of P7 were considered optimized formulations since they yielded a predetermined lag time of 6h before burst release. Hence, these formulations can be exploited to achieve chronotherapeutic drug delivery systems of Torsemide for the treatment of hypertension at the time the patient needs it.

The higher incidences of side effects of existing drugs have shifted researchers and clinicians to explore the dietary phytoconstituents for its therapeutic potentials. The present study is based on compression coated curcumin tablet for the colon. Curcumin has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Curcumin presents a bioavailability problem due to poor solubility. An inclusion complex was formed with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin to enhance the solubility. In this study, the core tablet of curcumin inclusion complex was compressed between the layers of polymer blend of pectin and Eudragit S100. The 32full factorial design was utilised for optimization of the formulation. The polymer ratio (X1) and coat thickness (X2) presented significant effects on the selected responses, i.e., percent drug release after 4 hours (Y240) and difference in percent drug release between 4th and 6th hour (Ydiff) in presence of pectinase enzyme. The results revealed that higher coat weight (600 mg) and higher level of pectin ratio (70% w/w) protected the curcumin tablet till ascending colon. Thein vivostudies by roentgenography method using human volunteers supported these observations. Hence, it can be concluded that the combination of pectin and Eudrgit S100 makes the system biodegradable and pH dependent for targeting the drug to the colon.

The purpose of the present work was to design and optimize compression coated floating pulsatile drug delivery systems of bisoprolol. Floating pulsatile concept was applied to increase the gastric residence of the dosage form having lag phase followed by a burst release. The prepared system consisted of two parts: a core tablet containing the active ingredient and an erodible outer shell with gas generating agent. The rapid release core tablet (RRCT) was prepared by using superdisintegrants with active ingredient. Press coating of optimized RRCT was done by polymer. A 32full factorial design was used for optimization. The amount of Polyox WSR205 and Polyox WSR N12K was selected as independent variables. Lag period, drug release, and swelling index were selected as dependent variables. Floating pulsatile release formulation (FPRT) F13 at level 0 (55 mg) for Polyox WSR205 and level +1 (65 mg) for Polyox WSR N12K showed lag time of 4 h with >90% drug release. The data were statistically analyzed using ANOVA, andP<0.05was statistically significant. Release kinetics of the optimized formulation best fitted the zero order model.In vivostudy confirms burst effect at 4 h in indicating the optimization of the dosage form.
