In the present investigation, sodium alginate based multiparticulate system overcoated with time and pH dependent polymer was studied in the form of oral pulsatile system to achieve pulsatile with sustained release of aceclofenac for chronotherapy of rheumatoid arthritis seven batches of micro beads with varying concentration of sodium alginate (2-5 %) were prepared by ionotropic-gelation method using CaCl2 as cross-linking agent. The prepared Ca-alginate beads were coated with 5% Eudragit L100 and filled into pulsatile capsule with varying proportion of plugging materials. Drug loaded microbeads were investigated for physicochemical properties and drug release characteristics. The mean particle sizes of drug-loaded microbeads were found to be in the range 596±1.1 to 860 ± 1.2 micron and %DEE in the range of 65-85%. FT-IR and DSC studies revealed the absence of drug polymer interactions. The release of aceclofenac from formulations F1 to F7 in buffer media (pH 6.8) at the end of 5h was 65.6, 60.7, 55.7, 41.2, 39.2, 27 and 25% respectively. Pulsatile system filled with eudragit coated Ca-alginate microbeads (F2) showed better drug content, particle size, surface topography, in-vitro drug release in a controlled manner. Different plugging materials like Sterculia gum, HPMC K4M and Carbopol were used in the design of pulsatile capsule. The pulsatile system remained intact in buffer pH 1.2 for 2 hours due to enteric coat of the system with HPMCP. The enteric coat dissolved when the pH of medium was changed to 7.4. The pulsatile system developed with Sterculia gum as plugging material showed satisfactory lag period when compared to HPMC and Carbopol.

Drug-eluting stents implanted in blood vessels are subject to various dynamics of blood flow. In this study, we present the evaluation of a mathematical model considering the effect of flow rate, to simulate the kinetic profiles of drug release (Diclofenac Sodium (DS)) from in-vitro from PLGA films. This model solves a set of non-linear equation for modeling simultaneously the burst, diffusion, swelling and erosion involved in the mechanisms of liberation. The release parameters depending on the flow rate are determined using the corresponding mathematical equations. For the evaluation of the proposed model, test data obtained in our laboratory are used. To quantify DS release from drug-carrier PLGA films, we used the flow-through cell apparatus in a closed-loop. Four flow rate values are applied. For each value, the model-substance liberation kinetics showed an increase in drug released with the flow rate. The simulated release profiles show good agreement with the experimental results. Therefore, the use of this model could provide a practical tool to assess in-vitro drug release profiles from polymer matrices under continuous flow rate constraint, and could help improve the design of drug eluting stents.

The purpose of this research work was to formulate raft-forming chewable bilayer tablets of sodium alginate using a raft-forming agent along with gas-generating agents. Tablets were prepared by wet granulation and evaluated for raft strength, acid neutralization capacity, weight variation, % drug content, thickness, hardness, friability and in vitro drug release. Various raft-forming agents were used in preliminary screening. The amount of sodium alginate, amount of calcium carbonate and amount sodium bicarbonate were selected as variables. Raft strength, acid neutralization capacity and drug release at 30 min were selected as responses.Tablets containing sodium alginate were having maximum raft strength as compared with other raft-forming agents. Acid neutralization capacity and in vitro drug release of all factorial batches were found to be satisfactory. Prepared tablets were found to be pharmaceutically equivalent to the marketed product. It was concluded that raft-forming chewable bilayer tablets prepared using an optimum amount of sodium alginate, calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate could be an efficient dosage form in the treatment of gastro oesophageal reflux diseases. Keywords: Chewable bilayer tablet, Sodium alginate, Raft forming agent, Acid Neutralizing capacity

AbstractThe objective of this article is to optimize the similarity factor within immediate release (IR) and modified release (MR) of in vitro drug release profiles. The least square method is used to minimize the difference between empirical and regression curve fitting data of in vitro IR/MR drug release profiles. An estimation of percentage drug release at intermediate timepoints has been done to improve the similarity factor $f_{2}$ f 2 using linear curve fit method. In this study linear regression model is used to analyze the similarity factor $f_{2}$ f 2 for Nitrofurantoin MR Capsules, Venlafaxine HCl MR Tablets and Lurasidone IR Tablets in order to exhibit the significance as well as similarity owing to the consideration of extra intervening timepoints. This linear regression model may help pharmaceutical industries to examine the inside comparison of IR/MR in vitro drug release profile with few modifications in timepoint selection to improve similarity factor $f_{2}$ f 2 .

A novel jujube cake-like pH/temperature responsive hydrogel, as a drug delivery system, was prepared by two steps in this paper. The intelligent copolymer hydrogel (PME) was obtained from N-acryloylglycinate methyl ester (AGME) and N-acryloylglycinate ethyl ester (AGEE), using sodium laurate (SL) as an emulsifier and N, N '-methylenebisacrylamide (NMBA) as a crosslinking agent. Selecting indomethacin as a model drug, in vitro drug release behaviors were investigated at different temperatures, phosphate buffer solutions (PBS) and emulsifier content. The cumulative release of indomethacin from the pH/temperature sensitive hydrogel was apparently increased as the emulsifier content increased, the pH value increased and the temperature decreased. 48% indomethacin from the hydrogel PME was released in pH 7.4 PBS at 18 oC within 600 minutes, whereas only 17% indomethacin diffused into pH 2.1 PBS.
