Objective: The aim of this research work was to comparatively study various proportions of a natural hydrocolloid-Raphia africana, and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as release sustaining agents in diclofenac sodium tablet formulation.Methods: The purified hydrocolloid (R. africana) was characterized by evaluating its organoleptic, physicochemical and flow properties. Diclofenac-polymer ratios of 1:0, 1:0.2, 1:0.4, 1:0.6, and 1:0.8 were employed to produce different granule batches using wet granulation method (that is, the drug was formulated with 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 % w/w of either R. africana hydrocolloid or PVP, and coded DWB-00, DRA-05, DRA-10, DRA-15, DRA-20, DPP-05, DPP-10, DPP-15 and DPP-20, respectively). Flow properties of granules were studied by determining bulk density, tapped density, Carr’s index, and Hausner’s ratio for all the formulations. Compressed tablets were evaluated using various parameters as weight variation, friability, hardness, tablet thickness and diameter, content uniformity and in vitro dissolution evaluated in phosphate buffer (pH 7.3).Results: Flowability, mechanical and release parameters determined were within pharmacopoeial limits. Generally, the values of bulk and tapped densities increase as binder concentrations increase for both PVP and R. africana hydrocolloid. The values were significantly different across the batches (p<0.05). Hardness values obtained varied significantly (p<0.05) and were between 5 and 12 KgF which imply that most of the tablet batches are harder than normal depending on the proportion of the polymer used. All the batches exhibited friability within the standard limit without significant difference in values (p>0.05), indicating that tablet formulated with the experimental binders would not undergo surface abrasion. All the formulations exhibited zero order kinetics except batches DPP-10 and DPP-15 which showed Higuchi mechanism. Formulation batches DRA-05 and DRA-10 showed maximum drug release of 98% and 95% respectively after 6 h. A prolonged drug release was observed on increasing polymer ratio. Significantly higher release rates (p<0.05) were observed in the tablets formulated with PVP than those containing R. africana gum. All the batches followed non-fickian diffusion release mechanism.Conclusion: From the study, purified R. africana hydrocolloid generally appeared to perform better than PVP as sustained release agent.

Fast dissolving strips are used as novel approaches, as it dissolves rapidly in mouth and directly reaches the systemic circulation. In present research work, an attempt has been made to prepare mouth dissolving strips of Metoclopramide hydrochloride by using a novel film former Pullulan by solvent casting method. A33 full factorial design was utilized for the optimization of the effect of independent variables such as the amount of Pullulan, amount of PEF 400, amount of SSG on mechanical properties, and % drug release of strips. The drug compatibility studies using FTIR and DSC studies formulated strips were characterized for their physicochemical parameter like weight variation, visual appearance, folding endurance, thickness, disintegration time, drug content, and in vitro dissolution studies. FTIR and DSC studies revealed that the polymer is compatible with the drug. It was found that the optimum levels of the responses for a fast release strip could be obtained at low levels of Pullulan, PEG400, and SSG. The prepared strip was clear transparent and had a smooth surface. The surface pH was found 4.8 to 5.2 be in the range of to which is close to salivary pH, which indicates that strips may have less potential to irritate the oral mucosa, thereby they are comfortable. The drug release was found to be between 90.94 to 100.5% in 2 min. The in-vitro disintegration time of strips prepared with Pullulan was in the range of 19 to 57 sec. As the concentration of SSG increases the decrease in the disintegration time of strips a decrease. The dissolution rate increased with an increase in the concentration of SSG. Hence, it can be inferred that the fast dissolving oral strips of Metoclopramide hydrochloride may produce rapid action thereby improving bioavailability and enhance the absorption by avoiding the first-pass effect.

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,

Carvedilol (non-cardio selective b-blocker) is an antihypertensive used in management of hypertension, angina pectoris and heart failure.  But its oral bioavailability is about 25-35% only due to significant degree of first pass metabolism.  It has gastrointestinal side effects such as diarrhea, gastric pain and irritation.  Hence, rectal suppositories of carvedilol were developed by using different water-soluble polymeric bases like gelatin and agar-agar using propylene glycol as plasticizer. The gelatin suppositories were disintegrating/dissolving type while gelatin–agar based suppositories were non-disintegrating/non-melting. All the formulations were evaluated for various physical parameters like weight variation,  drug content uniformity, liquefaction time, micro-melting range, in vitro dissolution, short-term stability and drug-excipient interaction (FTIR).  The mechanism of drug release was diffusion controlled and follows first order kinetics in majority of cases. The results suggested that when gelatin is replaced up to 25% w/w with agar, liquefaction time and drug release were not appreciably affected; higher proportions of agar exhibited incomplete and slow release.  Stability studies conducted at 25±3º C and 60±5% relative humidity for three months indicated that the formulations were stable in the drug-content and in vitro drug release rate (p<0.05).

INTRODUCTION Domperidone is a unique compound with gastro kinetic and antiemetic effects. It is used in the management of disorder by impaired motility like gastroesophageal reflux (in some instances), gastroparesis, dyspepsia, heartburn, epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting, and colonic inertia. The sustained release system is a widely accepted approach for slow drug release over an extended period to address the challenges of conventional oral delivery, including dosing frequency, drug safety, and efficacy. The study aims to formulate a domperidone sustained release tablet and compare the dissolution rate with the marketed formulations. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sustained release matrix tablets of domperidone were prepared by wet granulation method using different polymers such as HPMC K4M, ethyl cellulose, Gum acacia. Pre-compression studies like angle of repose, bulk density, tapped density, Carr's index, and Hausner’s ratio, and post-compression studies like weight variation, thickness, hardness, friability, drug content, and in-vitro drug release were evaluated.   RESULTS The release profile of domperidone sustained-release tablets was studied spectrophotometrically. The in-vitro dissolution study suggests the minimum %-cumulative drug release with 98.33% in F5. The %-cumulative drug release was maximum in F3 with 99.69%. The in-vitro drug release of all the formulations was non-significant compared to the marketed formulation (p<0.05), exhibiting the sustained-release property by all the formulations. CONCLUSION The pre-compression study concludes the better flow property of the granules of different formulations. The sustained release domperidone tablets were prepared successfully by the wet granulation method. The post-compression parameters of different formulations were within the acceptable range.
