Abstract Glaucoma is an ocular disease i.e. more common in older adults with elevated intraocular pressure and a serious threat to vision if it is not controlled. Due to the limitations regarding the conventional form of brinzolamide (Azopt®), two optimum formulations of in situ gel nanoemulsion were developed. To ensure the safety and efficacy of developed formulations for ocular drug delivery, the current study was designed. MTT assay was carried out on the human retinal pigmentation epithelial cells. To investigate the irritation potential of the chosen formulations, hen’s egg test-chorioallantoic membrane as a borderline test between in vivo and in vitro methods has been done. The modified Draize method was utilized to evaluate eye tolerance against the selected formulations. Intraocular pressure was measured by applying the prepared formulations to the eyes of normotensive albino rabbits in order to assess the therapeutic efficacy. Based on MTT test, cell viability for NE-2 at 0.1% and NE-1 at 0.1 and 0.5% concentrations was acceptable. The results of the hen’s egg test-chorioallantoic membrane test indicated no sign of vessel injury on the chorioallantoic membrane surface for both formulations. Also, during 24 h, both formulations were well-tolerated by rabbit eyes. The pharmacodynamics effects of formulations had no difference or were even higher than that of suspension in case of adding lower concentration (0.5%) of brinzolamide to the formulations. With regard to the results of the mentioned methods, our advanced formulations were effective, safe, and well-tolerated, thus can be introduced as an appropriate vehicle for ocular delivery of brinzolamide.

Meloxicam has short biological half-life and is rapidly eliminated, frequent oral administration is necessary to maintain its therapeutic concentration, but this can increase chances of missing dose. This makes Meloxicam a good applicant for oral sustained release formulation. The objective of study was to develop in-situ gel formulations of Meloxicam for sustained release to reduce the dosing frequency in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Method of Ion sensitive in-situ gelation was used in this study. Meloxicam In-situ gel formulations were prepared by varying concentrations of sodium alginate as a bio-degradable gel forming polymer, CaCl2 as a cross-linking agent and Chitosan/ HPMCK4/HPMCK15/Guar gum/Gellan gum/ Xantha gum/pectin were used as drug release rate controlling polymers. The formulations F11-F18 were assessed for Physical appearance, pH, in-vitro drug release, viscosity, in-vitro gelling capacity and drug content. FTIR, DSC and in-vivo drug kinetics studies was conducted for Meloxicam, excipients used and optimized formulation. Formulations showed an optimum viscosity that will allow ease of administration and swallowing. All formulations are shown pH between4.7-4.9, floating lag time was 2-3sec and floated for >12 hrs. In vitro drug release studies reporting that commercially available product Meloxicam SR has showed 99.92% drug release in 8 hrs and out of eight formulations F11 showing in-vitro drug release of 99.52% over a 12hrs extended period. FTIR studies revealed no interaction between drug and excipients used. The results of In-vivo kinetic studies are approving the better performance of the optimized formulation in comparison to marketed formulation, The Cmax, Tmax, half-life AUC values are confirming the same thing. In conclusion, Formulation (F11) was selected as optimized formulations could be offered as shows optimum sustained drug release compared to commercial formulation. Hence Meloxicam containing Chitosan as drug release controll
