Objective: The aim was to design, formulate, and evaluate the trilayer matrix tablets incorporated with quinapril for extend drug release. Methods: Quinapril trilayer matrix tablets were formulated using design of experiment software wherein initially 27 formulations (QF1-QF27) were designed for active layer from which one best formulation was chosen based on drug content, swelling index and in vitro release studies. The chosen formulation was formulated into extended release trilayed matrix tablet by varying proportions of polymers by direct compression and was evaluated for various physicochemical parameters, drug release. Best formulation was characterized for Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), stability, and pharmacokinetic study. Results: Out of 27 formulations highest drug release was exhibited by QF16 (98.85%) which was formulated into trilayer matrix tablets (AQF16- HQF16). Out of which EQF16 was found to exhibit highest values with 98.42% swelling index, 99.56% drug content, and 99.72% drug release in 24 h. All quinapril trilayer formulations showed zero-order and first-order for marketed product. The optimized formulation EQF16 was found to exhibit no interaction with excipients interpreted by FTIR and no significant changes were observed after loading for stability. In vivo studies conducted using optimized formulation EQF16 attained peak drug concentration (Tmax) of 4.0±0.06 and 1.0±0.03 h for the optimized and commercial formulations, respectively, while mean maximum drug concentration (Cmax) was 302.64±0.07 ng/mL and was significant (p<0.05) as compared to the quinapril marketed product formulation 358.78±0.75 ng/mL. Conclusion: Hence, quinapril was successfully formulated into trilayer matrix tablet and found to be stable.

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.

PURPOSE. Find a novel delivery system for oral administration of drugs that have absorption window in the upper part of gastrointestinal (GI) track. METHODS. Dipyridamole was chosen as the model drug. A novel system, which combined the osmotic pump controlled release system and the floating system, was designed; matrix tablets (MT) were prepared for compares. The effects of pH, temperature and hydrodynamic conditions on drug release and the floating behavior of floating osmotic pump system (FOP) were investigated. In vivo evaluation was performed by a three-crossover study in six Beagle dogs relative to the conventional tablet (CT). Cumulative percent input in vivo was compared with that of in vitro release profiles. RESULTS. Floating behavior of FOP, drug releases from FOP and MT were sensitive to pH of dissolution media but not sensitive to temperature; the release of dipyridamole from MT was influenced by stirring rate while drug release from FOP was not. AUC of FOP was larger than MT and CT. The linear correlations between fraction absorbed in vivo and fraction dissolved in vitro was established for FOP-a true zero-order release formula, whereas only a nonlinear correlation was obtained for MT. CONCLUTIONS. FOP could be a novel way for the oral administration for drugs like dipyridamole.

Fast dissolving oral delivery systems are solid dosage forms, which disintegrate or dissolve within 1 minute in the mouth without drinking water or chewing. Mouth dissolving film (MDF) is a better alternate to oral disintegrating tablets due to its novelty, ease of use and the consequent patient compliance. The purpose of this work was to develop mouth dissolving oral films of palonosetron HCl, an antiemetic drug especially used in the prevention and treatment of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. In the present work, the films were prepared by using solvent casting method with various polymers HPMC E3, E5 & E15 as a film base synthetic polymer, propylene glycol as a plasticizer and maltodextrin and other polymers. Films were found to be satisfactory when evaluated for thickness, in vitro drug release, folding endurance, drug content and disintegration time. The surface pH of all the films was found to be neutral. The in vitro drug release of optimized formulation F29 was found to be 99.55 ± 6.3 7% in 7 min. The optimized formulation F29 also showed satisfactory surface pH, drug content (99.38 ± 0.08 %), disintegration time of 8 seconds and good stability. FTIR data revealed that no interaction takes place between the drug and polymers used in the optimized formulation. In vitro and in vivo evaluation of the films confirmed their potential as an innovative dosage form to improve delivery and quick onset of action of Palonosetron Hydrochloride. Therefore, the mouth dissolving film of palonosetron is potentially useful for the treatment of emesis disease where quick onset of action is desired, also improved patient compliance.

Rebamipide, an amino acid derivative of 2-(1H)-quinolinone, is used for mucosal protection, healing of gastroduodenal ulcers, and treatment of gastritis. The current research study aimed to develop novel gastro-retentive mucoadhesive microspheres of rebamipide using ionotropic gelation technique. Studies of micromeritic properties confirmed that microspheres were free flowing with good packability. The in vitro drug release showed the sustained release of rebamipide up to 99.23 ± 0.13% within 12 h whereas marketed product displayed the drug release of 95.15 ± 0.23% within 1 h. The release mechanism from microspheres followed the zero-order and Korsmeyer-Peppas (R2 = 0.915, 0.969), respectively. The optimized M12 formulation displayed optimum features, such as entrapment efficiency 97%, particle size 61.94 ± 0.11 µm, percentage yield 98%, swelling index 95% and mucoadhesiveness was 97%. FTIR studies revealed no major incompatibility between drug and excipients. SEM confirmed the particles were of spherical in shape. Optimized formulation (M12) were stable at 40°C ± 2°C/75% RH ± 5% RH for 6 months. In vivo studies were performed and kinetic parameters like Cmax, Tmax, AUC0-t, AUC0-∞, t1/2, and Kel  were calculated. The marketed product Cmax (3.15 ± 0.05 ng/mL) was higher than optimized formulation (2.58 ± 0.03 ng/mL). The optimized formulation AUC0-t (15.25 ± 1.14 ng.hr/mL), AUC0-∞ (19.42 ± 1.24 ng.hr/mL) was significantly higher than that of marketed product AUC0-t (10.21 ± 1.26 ng.hr/mL) and AUC0-∞ (13.15 ± 0.05 ng.hr/mL). These results indicate an optimized formulation bioavailability of 2.5-fold greater than marketed product.

The aim of the present work was to develop sustained release Lornoxicam matrix tablets with polymers like HPMC K15M, Ethyl cellulose, and Crospovidone as carriers in varying quantities. Direct compression was used to make matrix tablets. Various assessment parameters, such as hardness, friability, thickness, percent drug content, weight variation, and so on, were applied to the prepared formulations. In vitro dissolution studies were carried out for 24 hrs. The tablets were subjected to in-vitro drug release in (pH 1.2) for first 2 hrs. Then followed by (pH 6.8) phosphate buffer for next 22 hrs. And the results showed that among the six formulations FL3 showed good dissolution profile to control the drug release respectively. The drug and polymer compatibility were tested using FT-IR spectroscopy, which revealed that the drug was compatible with all polymers. It is also required to design an appropriate prolonged release formulation for Lornoxicam in order to maintain the drug's release. Hence by using the compatible polymers sustained release tablets were formulated and subjected for various types of evaluation parameters like friability, hardness, drug content and dissolution behaviour. Finally, the findings reveal that the prepared sustained release matrix tablets of lornoxicam have improved efficacy and patient compliance.

AbstractThe aim of the present investigation was to develop matrix tablet formulations for the in vitro controlled release of two new tuberculocidal adamantane aminoethers (compounds III and IV), congeneric to the adamantane derivative SQ109, which is in final clinical trials, and aminoethers (I) and (II), using carefully selected excipients, such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, sodium alginate and lactose. The tablets were prepared using the direct compression method and dissolution experiments were conducted using the US Pharmacopoeia type II apparatus (paddle method) in gastric and intestinal fluids. The results suggest that both analogues, albeit more lipophilic than SQ109, and aminoethers (I) and (II), have the requisite in vitro release characteristics for oral administration. In conclusion, these formulations merit further assessment by conducting in vivo studies, at a later stage.

In the present investigation planned to study the less explored sterculia gum as matrix carrier of Budesonide to colon. Developed the formulations from B1 to B4 contains alone sterculia gum and its proportion increased gradually in the formulation. The formulations B5 to B10 contain the sterculia gum in combination with Eudragit S 100 and the hydrophilic, hydrophobic polymer. The budesonide core in coat matrix tablets was prepared by direct compression method. The powder bed of the formulations is evaluated for pre compressional characteristics like bulk density, tapped density, compressibility index and angle of repose. The compressed budesonide core in coat matrix tablets were evaluated for post compressional characteristics like thickness, diameter, hardness, disintegration, friability and to understand the drug release pattern and to correlate the in vivo condition, the in vitro dissolution performed in three different gastro intestinal pH at 1.2, pH 7.4 and pH 6.8 with and without 4% rat cecal content. The in vitro dissolution results of formulations ascertain that sterculia gum alone in formulation uncontrolled the drug release in first 5 hrs and carried lesser amount of drug to colon. The formulations B8 in the first 5 hours released 4.3% and carried the larger amount of drug to colon and in absence of rat cecal content released 90% and in presences of 4% rat cecal content released 99% of drug, indicating the sterculia gum undergoes enzymatic degradation and this formulation is considered as potential in targeting the budesonide to colon in the local ulcerative colitis

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.

A total of nine formulations of fast dissolving films of Losartan Potassium were developed by solvent casting method using film forming polymers such as HPMC E5, E15 and E50 and other film modifiers. The appearances of films were transparent, thin, flexible, elastic, smooth and transparent. The weight variation ranged between 16.14 ± 0.192 and 17.31 ± 0.313 and showed that there was no significant difference in the weight of individual formulations. All the formulations showed more than 150 of folding endurance. The drug content was found to be in an acceptable range for all the formulations which indicated uniform distribution of drug. A rapid dissolution of all the film was observed by the dissolution test, in which above 90% of Losartan Potassium was released within 5 min. The formulation F1 showed maximum drug release (98.73) within 5 minutes. Based on the in vitro drug release, drug content and in vitro disintegration time it is found that F1 was selected as the best formulation. The formulations showed satisfactory physical stability at 40°C at 75 % RH. Losartan Potassium (LOSAR-25) is shown in Figure 4. From the results of comparative studies of marketed product and it found that F1 showed 98.73% release within 5 min and LOSAR 25 showed 90.76% release in 30 min. In vitro studies indicate that this potential drug delivery system has considerably good stability and release profile. Nevertheless, further in vivo studies are warranted to confirm these results.
