AbstractThe release of drugs from solid drug delivery materials has been studied intently in recent years. Quantitative analyses achieved from in vitro dissolution becomes easier if a zero-order mathematical model is used. Non-gelatin nutraceutical hard-shell capsules of zero size (approximately 0.7-0.8 cm) were produced from carrageenan-based natural polymers, namely carrageenan-alginate (CA) and carrageenan-starch (CS). Disintegration, dissolution and zero-order drug release kinetics of hard-shell capsules containing 100 mg of salicylamide were studied. The disintegration time of CA and CS were observed to be less than 30 min for both CA and CS. In vitro dissolution profile showed that the percentage dissolution of CA capsules was better at pH 4.5, while that of CS was poor at pH 1.2, 4.5 and 6.8. Determination of drug release kinetics profiles of carrageenan-based hardshell capsules utilized the Noyes-Whitney and Peppas-Sahlin modification rules for zero-order. The drug release from carrageenan-based capsules followed zero-order kinetics, especially at pH 6.8, and was compared to the Higuchi model. Salicylamide in CA hard-shell capsules at a pH 6.8 had a release rate constant (kH) of 2.91 %(ppm/ ppm) min-1/2, while the release rate constant of CS was 0.36 %(ppm/ppm) min-1.

The present work is focused on the preparation and in vitro release kinetics of liposomal formulation of Leuprolide Acetate. In this work, “Thin Lipid Film Hydration Method” was used for preparation of Leuprolide Acetate loaded liposomes. Prepared liposomal formulations of Leuprolide acetate was evaluated by drug entrapment study, in-vitro drug release kinetics and stability studies. The percentage drug entrapment of Leuprolide acetate for F1 and F2 formulations were found to be 78.14 ± 0.67 and 66.70 ± 0.81% respectively. In-vitro drug release study of liposomal formulations had shown zero order release pattern. Regression co-efficient (R2) value of Zero order kinetics for F1 and F2 formulations were 0.9912 and 0.9676 respectively. After storing formulations for 1 month, stability testing was done at 40C.It was found that all batches were stable. These liposomal formulations of Leuprolide acetate can be formulated for parenteral application to treat prostate cancer and in women, to treat symptoms of endometriosis (overgrowth of uterine lining outside of the uterus) or uterine fibroids.

The intention of this current study is to intensify the bioavailability of drugs which have lower bioavailability (<20 %) like Lovastatin in the form of NLC carrier and also to optimize the formulation to select perfect variables for the formulation. The Nanostructures lipid carrier was formulated using Hot Homogenization technique with some optimization by utilizing 23 factorial design with the heal of response like in-vitro drug release, % Entrapment Efϑiciency (EE%), % drug Content (%DC), Zeta potential (Zp), Polydispersity Index (PI) and Particle Size (PS) for 12 hours. The kinetic studies of in-vitro drug release was performed and the parameters of the drug in different kinetic models like higuchi kinetic, zero order, ϑirst order, peppas models were evaluated. Invitro release kinetics studies show that optimized formulation NLC (N3) obeys Super Case II kinetics transport mechanism i.e., release of drug through reduction of attractive forces between Lipid chains and Zero order release kinetics for controlled drug delivery. Hence Nanostructure lipid carrier shows a good control and predetermined rate of drug release of Lovastatin. From the obtained outcome, N3 formulation was concluded as an optimized formulation with selected formulation variables like Solid Lipid: Liquid Lipid ratio (6:4), Span 80 as Surfactant (1%) and process variables like homogenization Speed as 5000 Rotations per minute for 15 mins.><20 %) like Lovastatin in the form of NLC carrier and also to optimize the formulation to select perfect variables for the formulation.

The aim of the present study was to design and evaluate the suppositories of aceclofenac a non-steroidal anti inflammatory drug (NSAID). Aceclofenac, rectal suppositories were developed by employing various hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymeric bases like gelatin, PEG-400 and hydrogenated vegetable oil using propylene glycol as plasticizer and beeswax as hardening agent. The in-vitro release rate data was evaluated statistically and was found that from all the formulations the drug release is by diffusion mechanism (r = 0.9547 to 0.9967) according to Higuchi’s equation. All the prepared formulations have shown zero-order release kinetics except those prepared by utilizing 15% and 20 % of PEG-400. The formulation prepared using 7.5% beeswax in hydrogenated vegetable oil has displayed zero-order drug release (r = 0.9927) and has released 99.18% of the aceclofenac within 4h, hence, this formulation is considered as a promising formulation. The stability study on the promising formulation was conducted over a period of 6 months and found that there are no significant changes in the drug content and in-vitro drug release rate (p<0.05). The result suggests that the suppositories can be prepared by employing hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymers.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/icpj.v1i7.10810International Current Pharmaceutical Journal 2012, 1(7): 165-170

Sustained release formulations of metoclopramide HCl (4-amino-5-chloro-N-(2-diethylaminoethyl)-2- methoxybenzamide hydrochloride) (MH) were prepared using carnauba wax (CW) and stearic acid (SA) as matrix formers. Granules were prepared by melt granulation method while direct compression technique was used to prepare the tablets. The drug release profiles of these products were studied by in-vitro dissolution testing in simulated gastric, gastrointestinal and intestinal media of pH 1.2, 4.5 and 7.5, respectively. The increase in the proportion of SA in the granules produced a concomitant decrease of the initial drug release rate but later on the release rate was enhanced in the intestinal medium. Drug release was found to be affected by compression force and stirring rate but also showed a dependency on pH of the dissolution fluid. The fastest release rate was found at pH 4.5 and the slowest at pH 1.2 which was consistent with the drug’s solubility behavior. Matrix erosion and water uptake rates were highest in the intestinal medium and lowest in the gastric medium. The drug release kinetics followed the Higuchi’s model in all cases.
