The objective of this study was to design oral sustained release matrix tablets of Ranolazine usinghydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) as the retardant polymer and to study the effect of formulation factors suchas polymer proportion and polymer viscosity on the release of drug. In vitro release studies were performed usingUSP type II apparatus (paddle method) in 900 mL of 0.1N HCl at 100 rpm for 12 hours. The release kinetics wasanalyzed using the zero-order, first order, Higuchi and Korsmeyer-Peppas equations to explore and explain themechanism of drug release from the matrix tablets. In vitro release studies revealed that the release rate decreasedwith increase in polymer proportion and viscosity grade. Mathematical analysis of the release kinetics indicated thatthe nature of drug release from the matrix tablets was dependent on drug diffusion and polymer relaxation andtherefore followed non-Fickian or anomalous release. The developed controlled release matrix tablets of Ranolazineprepared with high viscosity HPMC extended release up to 12 hours.Key words: Ranolazine; Sustained release; Methocel E50 Premium LV; Methocel K100LV CR; Methocel K4M CR;Methocel K15M CR.DOI: 10.3329/dujps.v8i1.5333Dhaka Univ.

Objectives. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of formulation factors on in vitro release of ketoprofen from sustained release inert matrix tablets. Materials and methods. Laboratory scale, Ketoprofen sustained release inert matrix tablets were manufactured using Kollidon® SR as matrix formator, by direct tableting of powder blends. The influence of the formulation factors (X1 – matrix formator excipient and X2 – diluent type) on in vitro release of ketoprofen from sustained release tablets was studied by using a full factorial 23 experimental plan. Outcomes. Pharmacotechnical characterization of manufactured laboratory scale batches was performed and all 12 batches fulfilled European Pharmacopeia requests. In vitro release showed a sustained release profile in all cases. Variance analysis (ANOVA) showed a good correlation between experimental conditions and answers. In vitro release testing was performed in phosphate buffer pH = 7.4. Percentage release was determined spectrophotometrically at 258 nm. A decrease in the rate of in vitro release was registered, up to 4 h and 6 h when lactose DC and mannitol DC were used as diluents, respectively. Isomalt DC has increased the rate of in vitro release up to 6 h. Conclusions. In vitro release data, corresponding to formulation N1 shoed a good fitting with Weitbull, Korshmeyer-Peppas and Higuchi models while in vitro release data corresponding to formulation N8 presented a good fitting with Weitbull and Korsmeyer-Peppas. In case of formulations N1 and N8 a non-Fickian diff usion mechanism seems to be involved in drug release from the matrix tablets.

The objective of the present study was to develop clarithromycin tablets from polymeric hydrophilic matrices using methocel and characterization for its physic-chemical properties and in vitro release studies to optimize its release profile with the standard marketed product. Matrix tablets were prepared by wet granulation method using PVP and ethyl cellulose as binding agents. The matrix tablets were evaluated for its thickness, hardness, friability, weight variation, drug content and in vitro release studies. The drug delivery was analyzed using the paddle method in phosphate buffer pH 6.0 (dissolution medium I) and phosphate buffer pH 6.8 containing 0.5% sodium lauryl sulfate (dissolution medium II) and compared with USP dissolution limits. The dissolution release profile of formulation F9 was comparable with the market formulation and the difference factor and similarity factor f1 and f2 was found to be 2.44 and 83.18 in dissolution medium I; 1.44 and 89.71 in dissolution medium II. Stability studies were carried out as per ICH guidelines and tested for its physicochemical properties and in vitro studies. The study shows that the matrix method can be employed for preparing clarithromycin sustained release formulation using combination of hydrophilic polymers like Methocels and sodium carboxy methyl cellulose.

Objective: To prepare hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) matrix tablets of propranolol hydrochloride (PNL) using a simplex centroid design. Methods: HPMC matrix tablets with different amounts and types of HPMC were prepared by direct compression. A simplex centroid design was used to evaluate tablet weight (Y1), thickness (Y2), hardness (Y3), axial swelling time at 0.5–12 h (Y4-Y9), radial swelling time at 0.5–12 h (Y10-Y15), and % released at 1–12 h (Y16-Y19). Results: The tablet weight, thickness, and hardness were 397.6–400.4 mg, 3.967–4.029 mm, and 106.9–139.0 N, respectively. The % swelling (axial) and % swelling (radial) at 0.5–12 h were-8.715 to 59.889 and-1.887 to 49.287, respectively. The negative % swelling could be attributed to erosion of the tablets. The in vitro release of PNL from the tablets in buffer solution pH 1.2 (1 h) and pH 7.5 (3–12 h) was 21.12–76.22%. Tables with a high proportion of K100M HPMC had high PNL release, and the mechanism of PNL release was diffusion-and erosion-controlled. Conclusion: The simplex centroid design is potentially advantageous for formulating PNL-HPMC matrix tablets.
