The present study was undertaken to develop sustained release (SR) matrix tablets of losartan potassium, an angiotensin-II antagonist for the treatment of hypertension. The tablets were prepared by direct compression method, along with Kollidon SR as release retardant polymer. The amount of losartan potassium remains fixed (100 mg) for all the three formulations whereas the amounts of Kollidon SR were 250 mg, 225 mg, and 200 mg for F-1, F-2, and F-3 respectively. The evaluation involves three stages: the micromeritic properties evaluation of granules, physical property studies of tablets, and in-vitro release kinetics studies. The USP apparatus type II was selected to perform the dissolution test, and the dissolution medium was 900 mL phosphate buffer pH 6.8. The test was carried out at 75 rpm, and the temperature was maintained at 37 ºC ± 0.5 ºC. The release kinetics was analyzed using several kinetics models. Higher polymeric content in the matrix decreased the release rate of drug. At lower polymeric level, the rate and extent of drug release were enhanced. All the formulations followed Higuchi release kinetics where the Regression co-efficient (R²) values are 0.958, 0.944, and 0.920 for F-1, F-2, and F-3 respectively, and they exhibited diffusion dominated drug release. Statistically significant (P<0.05) differences were found among the drug release profile from different level of polymeric matrices. The release mechanism changed from non-fickian (n=0.489 for F-1) to fickian (n=0.439 and 0.429 for F-2, and F-3 respectively) as a function of decreasing the polymer concentration. The Mean Dissolution Time (MDT) values were increased with the increase in polymer concentration.

The present study was undertaken to develop sustained release (SR) matrix tablets of Losartan potassium, an angiotensin-II antagonist for the treatment of hypertension. The tablets were prepared by direct compression method along with Kollidon SR and Methyl Cellulose as release retardant polymers. The evaluation involves two stages- the physical properties studies of tablets and in vitro release kinetics assessment. The USP paddle method was selected to perform the dissolution test and 900 ml phosphate buffer of pH 6.8 was used as dissolution medium at 50 rpm at 370C. The release kinetics were analyzed. All the formulations followed Higuchi release kinetics. When the release data was plotted into Korsmeyer-Peppas equation, then it was confirmed that F-1, F-2, F-3, F-4 and F-5 exhibited non-fickian type drug release whereas F-6 exhibited fickian type drug release from the tablet matrix. The in-vitro release studies revealed that the formulation F-2 can be taken as an ideal or optimized formulation of sustained release tablets for 24 hours release as it fulfills all the requirements for sustained release tablet. Furthermore, when the tablets were preheated at different temperature (300C, 450C, 600C) before dissolution they showed decrease in drug release compared with ambient temperature DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bpj.v16i2.22301 Bangladesh Pharmaceutical Journal 16(2): 177-183, 2013

<p>Sustained release Carvedilol matrix tablets constituting Kollidon SR were developed in this study in an attempt to investigate the effect of release modifiers on the release profile of Carvedilol from matrix. Three matrix tablet formulations were prepared by direct compression of Kollidon SR in combination with release modifier (HPMC and Microcrystalline Cellulose) and magnesium stearate. Tablets containing only Kollidon SR with the active ingredient demonstrated a rapid rate of drug release. Incorporation of HPMC in the matrix tablet prolonged the release of drug but incorporation of Microcrystalline Cellulose showed superimposable release pattern with an initial burst effect as confirmed by mean dissolution time and Higuchi release rate data. After 7 hours of dissolution, Carvedilol release from the matrix systems were 91.42%, 83.41%, from formulation F1 and F2 respectively. Formulation F3 exhibited 100 % release at 4 hours. All the tablet formulations showed acceptable pharmaco-technical properties and complied with the in-house specifications for tablet weight variation, friability, hardness, thickness, and diameter. Prepared tablets also showed sustained release property for carvedilol. The drug release mechanism from the matrix tablets of F1 and F2 was found to be followed by Fickian and F3 by Non-Fickian mechanism.</p><p>DOI: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/icpj.v1i8.11095">http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/icpj.v1i8.11095</a></p> <p>International Current Pharmaceutical Journal 2012, 1(8): 186-192</p>

The major goal of this study was to develop and evaluate Sustained release matrix tablets of Gabapentin with Hibiscus rosa - sinensis leaves mucilage prepared by using wet granulation technique with microcrystalline cellulose as a diluents and magnesium stearate as a lubricant. Pre-compression and post-compression evaluation of physicochemical parameters were carried out and to be within acceptable limits. Drug and polymer compatibility were validated by FTIR measurements. Further, tablets were evaluated for in vitro release study. To get the sustained release of Gabapentin, the concentration of Hibiscus rosa- sinensis mucilage was tuned with a gas-generating agent. The % drug release of all formulation from F1 to F5 showed 91.24%, 80.24%, 70.53%, 62.12% and 49.83% respectively. All the dosage form release kinetics was computed using zero order, first order, Higuchi, and Korsmeyer–Peppas methods. From the above results, it is concluded that the n value of formulation F5 showed 0.78 suggesting anomalous (non-fickian) behavior of the drug. Mucilage from the leaves of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis has a great retarding effect in drug release from sustained release tablets.

The objective of this study was to develop a sustained release matrix tablet of aceclofenac usinghydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC K15M and HPMC K100M CR) in various proportions as release controllingfactor by direct compression method. The powders for tableting were evaluated for angle of repose, loose bulkdensity, tapped bulk density, compressibility index, total porosity and drug content etc. The tablets were subjected tothickness, weight variation test, drug content, hardness, friability and in vitro release studies. The in vitro dissolutionstudy was carried out for 24 hours using United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) 22 paddle-type dissolution apparatus inphosphate buffer (pH 7.4). The granules showed satisfactory flow properties, compressibility index and drug contentetc. All the tablets complied with pharmacopoeial specifications. The results of dissolution studies indicated that theformulations F-2 and F-3 could extend the drug release up to 24 hours. By comparing the dissolution profiles with themarketed product, it revealed that the formulations exhibited similar drug release profile. From this study, a decreasein release kinetics of the drug was observed when the polymer concentration was increased. Kinetic modeling of invitro dissolution profiles revealed the drug release mechanism ranges from diffusion controlled or Fickian transport toanomalous type or non-Fickian transport, which was only dependent on the type and amount of polymer used. Thedrug release followed both diffusion and erosion mechanism in all cases. The drug release from these formulationswas satisfactory after 3 months storage in 40°C and 75% RH. Besides, this study explored the optimum concentrationand effect of polymer(s) on acelofenac release pattern from the tablet matrix for 24 hour period.Key words: Aceclofenac; sustained release; hydrophillic matrix; HPMC; direct compression.DOI: 10.3329/dujps.v8i1.5332Dhaka Univ.

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.

Aim: Nateglinide is a quick acting anti-diabetic medication whose potent activity lasts for a short duration. One of the dangerous side effects of nateglinide administration is rapid hypoglycemia, a condition that needs to be monitored carefully to prevent unnecessary fatalities. The aim of the study was to develop a longer lasting and slower releasing formulation of nateglinide that could be administered just once daily. Methods: Matrix tablets of nateglinide were prepared in combination with the polymers hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), eudragits, ethyl cellulose and polyethylene oxide and the formulated drug release patterns were evaluated using in vitro and in vivo studies. Conclusion: Of the seventeen formulated matrix tablets tested, only one formulation labelled HA-2 that contained 15% HPMC K4M demonstrated release profile we had aimed for. Further, swelling studies and scanning electron microscopic analysis confirmed the drug release mechanism of HA-2. The optimized formulation HA-2 was found to be stable at accelerated storage conditions for 3 months with respect to drug content and physical appearance. Mathematical analysis of the release kinetics of HA-2 indicated a coupling of diffusion and erosion mechanisms. In-vitro release studies and pharmacokinetic in vivo studies of HA-2 in rabbits confirmed the sustained drug release profile we had aimed for.

The overall objective of the present work was to develop an oral sustained-release (SR) Metformin tablet that is prepared by the direct compression method by using hydrophilic hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) and Guar gum polymer alone as well as in combination at different concentrations. Metformin is a biguanide that has a relatively short plasma half-life. It has low absolute bioavailability. All the properties were evaluated for thickness, weight variation, hardness and drug content uniformity and in vitro drug release. The mean dissolution time is used to characterize the drug release rate from a dosage form that indicates the drug release-retarding efficiency of the polymer. The hydrophilic matrix of HPMC alone could not control the Metformin release effectively for 12 h but when combined with Guar gum, it could slow down the release of drug and, thus, can be successfully employed for formulating Sustain Release matrix tablets. Keywords: Guar gum, hydroxylpropylmethylcellulose, matrix tablets, release kinetics,

Background: Tablets being the conventional dosage forms can be modified for providing the desired therapeutic effect to the patients. The network of matrix in the tablet allows the drug release to be slowed down considerably. Objective: The prime objective of the study was to formulate sustained release glibenclamide matrix tablets using locust bean gum and karaya gum as a matrix polymer. Methods: Tablets were formulated by optimization using 32 factorial designs by direct compression method using different drug: polymer concentrations. The dependent variables selected were % cumulative drug release (Y1) and % drug content (Y2). The independent variables are the amount of locust bean gum (X1) and karayagum (X2). Drug-polymer compatibility studies were confirmed by FTIR and DSC. The pre-compression properties of powder were assessed indicating a good flow property. The evaluation results of the tablets were found to be within the Indian Pharmacopoeial limit. In this work, the effect of diluents type and polymer type was studied on the drug release with its increase in concentration. Results: All the formulations showed retarded drug release as the concentration of the polymer was increased. Formulation F8 was selected as the best-optimized formulation with about 100.56% drug release within 12 h. Release kinetics was carried out and it was found to be zero-order release and from assay, drug content was found to be in limits. Conclusion: ANOVA analysis indicated that the studied variables affected the response variables significantly. The optimized formulation was stable. Hence, it is concluded that the Glibenclamide sustained release matrix tablet containing natural polymers were successfully formulated by using 32 factorial design.
