In the present investigation an attempt has been made to increase therapeutic efficacy, reduce frequency of administration and improve patient compliance by developing controlled release matrix tablets of diltiazem hydrochloride. Diltiazem hydrochloride was formulated as oral controlled release matrix tablets by using sterculia foetida gum. SFG fines were characterized with scanning electron microscopy. The purpose of this study was to optimize release profile of the highly water soluble drug from SFG matrix by using water soluble and swellable excipients like lactose and microcrystalline cellulose respectively. Tablets were prepared by direct compression, and their swelling behavior in presence of these excipients was assessed with the help of a Texture Analyzer. Dissolution assessment was performed using USP 26 apparatus 2 modified by insertion of a mesh to prevent sticking of the tablets to the bottom of vessel and allow them to swell three dimensionally. The interdependence of swelling front movement in relation to excipients type and progression of drug release are explained. It was concluded that unlike in conventional dosage forms insertion of excipients in hydrophilic controlled release tablets containing a water soluble drug gave the finger print information of drug release profile. In vitro drug release from these matrices was characterized and confirmed with the help of real time texture probing. Results indicated that it is possible to achieve desired modulation in the drug release profile by inclusion of lactose and microcrystalline cellulose.

The aim of this research work was to develop the controlled release of two model drugs i.e. water insoluble drug - resveratrol and water soluble drug - lignan by matrix tableting with an eccentric tablet machine. For this purpose different kinds of polymers i.e. Metolose 90 SH-4000® (HMPC), Fetocel RT-N-100® (EC) and Eudragit RLPO® (polymethacrylate) were used. The matrix tablets containing 2 %wt of a model drug which were mixed with 5, 10, 20, 30 and 50 %wt of the polymers mentioned above. In addition, a glidant composed of 1 %wt talc and 1 %wt magnesium stearate as well as a filler Ludipress® were processed. Different physical properties of the powder mixtures (e.g. flowability) and of the tablets (e.g. hardness, uniformity of mass or drug content, drug release, etc.) were determined. Most of the tablets met the physical requirements. If the polymer content got higher the release was slower, which can be confirmed by the lower values of k. The release kinetics were described by three typical mathematic models i.e. biphasic, Noyes-Whitney and KorsmeyerPeppas. The best fitting results were ordered as follows: biphasic > Noyes-Witney > KorsmeyerPeppas.

Background: Venlafaxine HCl is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor which is given in the treatment of depression. The delivery of the drug at a controlled rate can be of great importance for prolonged effect. Objective: The objective was to prepare and optimize the controlled release core in cup matrix tablet of venlafaxine HCl using the combination of hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymers to prolong the effect with rate controlled drug release. Methods: The controlled release core in cup matrix tablets of venlafaxine HCl were prepared using HPMC K5, K4, K15, HCO, IPA, aerosol, magnesium sterate, hydrogenated castor oil and micro crystalline cellulose PVOK-900 using wet granulation technique. Total ten formulations with varying concentrations of polymers were prepared and evaluated for different physicochemical parameters such FTIR analysis for drug identification, In-vitro drug dissolution study was performed to evaluate the amount of drug release in 24 hrs, drug release kinetics study was performed to fit the data in zero order, first order, Hixson–crowell and Higuchi equation to determine the mechanism of drug release and stability studies for 3 months as observed. Results: The results of hardness, thickness, weight variation, friability and drug content study were in acceptable range for all formulations. Based on the In vitro dissolution profile, formulation F-9 was considered to be the optimized extending the release of 98.32% of drug up to 24 hrs. The data fitting study showed that the optimized formulation followed the zero order release rate kinetics and also compared with innovator product (flavix XR) showed better drug release profile. Conclusion: The core-in-cup technology has a potential to control the release rate of freely water soluble drugs for single administration per day by optimization with combined use of hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymers.
