This study aimed to develop a novel sustained release pellet of loxoprofen sodium (LXP) by coating a dissolution-rate controlling sub-layer containing hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) and citric acid, and a second diffusion-rate controlling layer containing aqueous dispersion of ethyl cellulose (ADEC) on the surface of a LXP conventional pellet, and to compare its performance in vivo with an immediate release tablet (Loxinon®). A three-level, three-factor Box-Behnken design and the response surface model (RSM) were used to investigate and optimize the effects of the citric acid content in the sub-layer, the sub-layer coating level, and the outer ADEC coating level on the in vitro release profiles of LXP sustained release pellets. The pharmacokinetic studies of the optimal sustained release pellets were performed in fasted beagle dogs using an immediate release tablet as a reference. The results illustrated that both the citric acid (CA) and ADEC as the dissolution- and diffusion-rate controlling materials significantly decreased the drug release rate. The optimal formulation showed a pH-independent drug release in media at pH above 4.5 and a slightly slow release in acid medium. The pharmacokinetic studies revealed that a more stable and prolonged plasma drug concentration profile of the optimal pellets was achieved, with a relative bioavaibility of 87.16% compared with the conventional tablets. This article provided a novel concept of two-step control of the release rate of LXP, which showed a sustained release both in vitro and in vivo.

Clobazam orally dissolving strips were prepared by solvent casting method. A full 32 factorial design was applied for optimization using different concentration of film forming polymer and disintegrating agent as independent variable and disintegration time, % cumulative drug release, and tensile strength as dependent variable. In addition the prepared films were also evaluated for surface pH, folding endurance, and content uniformity. The optimized film formulation showing the maximum in vitro drug release, satisfactory in vitro disintegration time, and tensile strength was selected for bioavailability study and compared with a reference marketed product (frisium5 tablets) in rabbits. Formulation (F6) was selected by the Design-expert software which exhibited DT (24 sec), TS (2.85 N/cm2), and in vitro drug release (96.6%). Statistical evaluation revealed no significant difference between the bioavailability parameters of the test film (F6) and the reference product. The mean ratio values (test/reference) of Cmax (95.87%), tmax (71.42%), AUC0−t (98.125%), and AUC0−∞ (99.213%) indicated that the two formulae exhibited comparable plasma level-time profiles.

The buccal cavity is an alternate route for the administration of the drug. This route gained acceptance as increase in bioavailability is observed due to bypass of first pass metabolism. Solvent casting method was employed for the preparation of the risperidone mucoadhesive patches using different combinations of water soluble and water insoluble polymers using polyvinyl alcohol as a backing layer. Our main objective of this study was to understand the behaviour of water soluble and water insoluble polymers in combination on release pattern. Six different formulations of mucoadhesive patches were evaluated for physicochemical parameters like weight uniformity, content uniformity, thickness uniformity, surface pH, swelling studies, tensile strength, folding endurance, in-vitro drug release, and in-vivo drug absorption. Drug loaded mucoadhesive patches of various polymer bases had shown 35.64 to 72.33% drug release in 30 min in phosphate buffer solution of pH 6.6. In-vitro release data from patches were fit to different equations and kinetic models to explain release profiles. Kinetic models like Hixon-Crowell and Higuchi models were used. The formulation containing HPMC (15Cps) and polyvinyl pyrrolidone was considered as optimized based on the physicochemical and pharmaceutical properties. In-vivo studies in rabbits, carried out with prior permission from IAEC, showed 80.40% of drug release from the optimized patches. In-vivo and in-vitro correlations were found to be good. The drug absorption was found significant from the optimized formulation in healthy rabbits. The structure of the buccal membrane and permeability factors are similar in both human beings and rabbits. Therefore mucoadhesive patches of risperidone may be accepted with the important advantage of reduced risperidone dose.

Background: The better control of the drug release with immediate effect is the major concern to achieve better therapeutic action and patient compliance. The failure of the solid dispersion complex during storage as well as in-vivo is another concern for the oral solid dosage form. Objective: The prime objective of the present study was to optimize the biphasic minitablet incorporating quality by design approach using the combination of waxy erodible and water-impermeable excipients. Exploration of Soluplus as a precipitation inhibitor and Dexolve as a solubility enhancer in oral solid dosage form was the secondary objective. Methods: The drug-Excipient compatibility study was assessed by FTIR. Clozapine was chosen as a model drug that has poor aqueous solubility. The complex was formulated using B-cyclodextrin or HP B-CD or Dexolve by kneading method. The screening of solubility enhancers and their amount were performed based on phase solubility study. The precipitation inhibitor was screened as per the parachute effect study. Immediate release minitablets were formulated using a direct compression method using different disintegrating agents. The IR minitablets were evaluated for different evaluation parameters. The sustained release minitablets was formulated by hot-melt granulation technique incorporating the Precirol ATO 5 as a waxy excipient and ethyl cellulose as water impermeable excipient. The SR minitablet was optimized using a central composite design. The amount of Precirol ATO 5 and ethyl cellulose were chosen as independent variables and % drug release at 1, 6, and 10 h was selected as responses. The designed batches were evaluated for different pre and post compressional parameters. The IR and SR minitablets were filled in a capsule as per dose requirement and evaluated for in-vitro drug release. The in-vivo plasma concentration was predicted using the Back calculation of the Wagner – Nelson approach. Results: Drug – Excipient study revealed that no significant interaction was observed. Dexolve was screened as a solubility enhancer for the improvement of the solubility of clozapine. The Soluplus was chosen as a precipitation inhibitor from the parachute effect study. The immediate-release tablet was formulated using Prosolv EASYtab SP yield less disintegration time with better flowability. The sustained release mini-tablet was formulated using Precirol ATO 5 and ethyl cellulose. Two-dimensional and three-dimensional plots were revealed the significant effect of the amount of Precirol ATO 5 and ethyl cellulose. The overlay plot locates the optimized region. The in-vitro drug release study revealed the desired drug release of the final combined formulation. The in-vivo plasma concentration-time confirms the drug release up to 12h. Conclusion: The biphasic mini-tablets were formulated successfully for better control of drug release leads to high patient compliance. The use of soluplus as a precipitation inhibitor is explored in the oral solid dosage form for a poorly aqueous drug. Prosolv EASYtab SP was incorporated in the formulation as super disintegrant. The amount of Precirol ATO 5 and ethyl cellulose had a significant effect on drug release in sustained-release minitablet. The approach can be useful in the industry.

 Objective: The current study involves the fabrication of oral bilayer matrix designs of a combination of two drugs, metoprolol succinate and atorvastatin calcium, the optimization of their in vitro release and characterization using the design expert software. Metoprolol succinate, a β1- selective adrenergic receptor blocking agent, is used in the management of hypertension has a half-life of approximately 4–5 h; thus, there is the need to use extended-release formulation for prolonged action. Atorvastatin is a hydroxymethylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase inhibitor, an antilipidemic, used to lower blood cholesterol. The rationale for this fixed-dose combination is to coadminister two drugs acting by different mechanisms of action together, reduce dosing frequency, and increase patient compliance.Methods: A 32 factorial design was selected to analyze the effect of critical factors, polymer concentration of Kollidon sustained release (SR), and Eudragit RS and their interaction on the in vitro release of the SR part containing metoprolol succinate. The drug release at 2 h (Q2), 8 h (Q8), and 20 h (Q20) was taken as responses. The blends of both layers were prepared, evaluated for precompression characteristics, and compressed by direct compression. The compressed bilayer tablets were evaluated for their hardness, weight variation, friability, content uniformity, diameter, and in vitro release.Result and Conclusion: The release profile indicates Higuchi’s kinetics. Contour and surface response plots show significant interaction among the formulation variables. Formulation MS06 containing 70 mg Kollidon SR and 10 mg Eurdragit RS was found to be the optimized formulation, controlling the drug release for a 24 h period.

The aim of the present research work was to fabricate aceclofenac loaded pectinate microspheres by ionic gelation method and evaluate the effect of different cross-linking agents and polymer concentration on particle size, encapsulation efficacy and drug release behavior. It was also investigated that whether this pectinate dosage form was able to target the drug release in intestinal region and prevent the different side effect associated with the drug in stomach or not. It was observed that particle size, encapsulation efficacy and in vitro drug release were largely depended on polymer concentration and cross-linking agents. It was also observed that pectinate microspheres showed excellent pH depended mucoadhesive properties and they were able to restrict the drug release in stomach. <em>In vitro</em> drug release study showed that alminium-pectinate microspheres have more sustaining property as compared to barium-pectinate microspheres. Holm-Sidak multiple comparison analysis suggested a significant difference in measured t<sub>50%</sub> values among all the formulations with same cross-linking agent. In vivo studies revealed that the anti inflammatory and analgesic effects induced by pectinate microspheres were significantly high and prolonged as compared to pure drug. So, pectinate microspheres can be an excellent carrier for targeting the delivery of aceclofenac as well as help in improving the patient compliance by prolonging the systemic absorption.
