Objective: The objective of the work is to formulate chlorzoxazone floating bioadhesive tablets which will significantly improve the bioavailability of drugs under the condition of prolonged use of drugs and reduce the total dosage of administered drug and reduce the side effect.Methods: Floating bioadhesive tablet was prepared by direct compression of polymer such as HPMCK4M and Carbopol934p in combination.Result: After analysis of different evaluation parameter and drug release, F9 batch was selected as promising formulation for delivery of chlorzoxazone floating bioadhesive tablets with 92.1% drug release at 12th h.Conclusion: It was observed that the combination of polymers in 22.5% (HPMCK4M) and 12.5% (Carbopol 934p) give the best drug release and sustain the drug release for 12 h. Among the other batches, F9 batch was selected as an optimized batch because the pre- and post-compression parameters results are satisfactory.

The present work is to prepare and characterization of self nano emulsifying drug delivery system containing Anti-hypertensive drug. Losartan is a competitive antagonist and inverse agonist of angiotensin 2 receptor. The SNEDDS is prepared by Sonication method using a components of SPAN 60/Eudragit RS 100 as a surfactant, PVA as a Co-surfactant, Iso propyl alcohol as a solvent and DCM as a co-solvent. The prepared SNEDDS was evaluated for Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Surface morphology, particle size, zeta potential,  drug entrapment efficiency, visual assessment, self-emulsification time, Robustness to dilution, in-vitro drug release and short term stability studies. The in-vitro drug release data of all the formulations were found to be zero order over a period of 24 h and Formulation F7 shows good results for the drug release kinetics as controlled release. The stability studies data was found that there was no such difference in drug EE and in-vitro drug release.

Objective: The objective of the work is to formulate nizatidine mucoadhesive matrix tablets which will significantly improve the bioavailability of drugs under the condition of prolonged use of drugs and reduce the total dosage of administered drug and reduce the side effect.Method: Matrix tablet was prepared by direct compression of polymer such as HPMC K4M, carbopol-934p, and ethyl cellulose alone and in combination.Result: After analysis of different evaluation parameter and drug release, F9 batch was selected as promising formulation for delivery of nizatidine as a mucoadhesive matrix tablet with 94.18% drug release at the 12th h.Conclusion: It was observed that the combination of both polymers in equal concentration gives the best drug release and sustains the drug release for 12 h. Among the other batches, F9 batch was selected as an optimized batch because the pre- and post-compression parameter results are satisfactory.

Abstract The present investigation aimed to formulate a liquid self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) of tacrolimus to enhance its oral bioavailability by improving its dispersibility and dissolution rate. Four liquid SMEDDS were prepared using maisine CC as oil phase, labrasol ALF as surfactant and transcutol HP as co-surfactant based on the solubility studies of tacrolimus in these components. The phase behavior of the components and the area of microemulsion were evaluated using pseudoternary phase diagrams. The formulations were also assessed for thermodynamic stability, robustness to dilution, self-emulsification time, drug content, globule size and polydispersity index. The prepared SMEDDS formulations exhibited improved drug release compared to the pure drug powder. From this study, it was concluded that using a composition of 10% maisine CC, 67.5% labrasol ALF and 22.5% transcutol produced a liquid SMEDDS with good thermodynamic stability and enhanced in-vitro drug release profiles compared with pure tacrolimus powder. All which supports the use of self-micro emulsifying drug delivery systems as a promising approach to improve solubility, dissolution and stability of poorly soluble drugs like tacrolimus.

Objective: The objective of this research work was to develop and evaluate the floating– pulsatile drug delivery system (FPDDS) of meloxicam intended for Chrono pharmacotherapy of rheumatoid arthritis. Methods: The system consisting of drug containing core, coated with hydrophilic erodible polymer, which is responsible for a lag phase for pulsatile release, top cover buoyant layer was prepared with HPMC K4M and sodium bicarbonate, provides buoyancy to increase retention of the oral dosage form in the stomach. Meloxicam is a COX-2 inhibitor used to treat joint diseases such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. For rheumatoid arthritis Chrono pharmacotherapy has been recommended to ensure that the highest blood levels of the drug coincide with peak pain and stiffness. Result and discussion: The prepared tablets were characterized and found to exhibit satisfactory physico-chemical characteristics. Hence, the main objective of present work is to formulate FPDDS of meloxicam in order to achieve drug release after pre-determined lag phase. Developed formulations were evaluated for in vitro drug release studies, water uptake and erosion studies, floating behaviour and in vivo radiology studies. Results showed that a certain lag time before drug release which was due to the erosion of the hydrophilic erodible polymer. The lag time clearly depends on the type and amount of hydrophilic polymer which was applied on the inner cores. Floating time and floating lag time was controlled by quantity and composition of buoyant layer. In vivo radiology studies point out the capability of the system of longer residence time of the tablets in the gastric region and releasing the drug after a programmed lag time. Conclusion: The optimized formulation of the developed system provided a lag phase while showing the gastroretension followed by pulsatile drug release that would be beneficial for chronotherapy of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.
