Pulsatile Drug Delivery

Objective: The objective of the present investigation was to the development of floating pulsatile drug delivery system of Losartan potassium (LP) tablets for obtaining no drug release during floating followed by pulsed, rapid drug release to achieve chronotherapeutic release. In hypertension, the risk of getting heart attacks early in the morning is high and therefore, there was need to develop drug delivery, which will release drugs at morning hours and provide efficacious therapy. LP is a short biological half-life (1.5-2.5h) and readily absorbed from the stomach and upper gastrointestinal tract. Methods: Tablet formulation was prepared by press coating of rapid release core tablets and core tablets were further top coated with a buoyant layer of HPMC K4M and sodium bicarbonate. Various grades of HPMC polymer (E5/E15/E50) were used for the pulsatile coating layer. The developed formulations were characterized for physical characteristics, floating lag time, floating time, release lag time, drug content, swelling index, in vitro dissolution studies, DSC and XRD. Results: The FTIR and DSC studies predicted that there was no chemical interaction between drug and excipients. The core tablet coated with HPMC E50 showed a high swelling index and release the drug 97.60±1.2% at 6h. Buoyant layer with 80 mg HPMC K4M and 25 mg sodium bicarbonate gave satisfactory floating lag time. Conclusion: The system showed an excellent lag phase followed by burst release in the distal small intestine, which gives site and time-specific delivery of LP acting as per chronotherapy for treatment of hypertension.

Pulsatile Drug Delivery

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.

The objective of this investigation is to study the applicability of gum karaya, the natural gum for the preparation and in vitro evaluation of losartan potassium, as Chronotherapeutic Drug Delivery System (ChDDS). The compression-coated timed-release tablets (CCT) containing losartan potassium in the core tablet were prepared by dry coating technique with different ratios of gum karaya as the outer coat. The parameters investigated were tensile strength, friability, in vitro dissolution studies and drug concentration. The optimized formulation was further characterized by powder XRD and FTIR to investigate interactions and no interactions observed. The tensile strength and friability of all the CCT were between 1.06-1.23 MN/m2 and < 0.3% respectively.  All the CCT showed a clear lag time before a burst release of drug. However, the lag time of drug release increased as the amount of gum karaya in the outer layer increased. For instance, the lag time of LGK1, LGK2, LGK3, LGK4, LGK5, LGK6 and LGK7 were 16, 10.5, 5.5, 3, 2, 1.5 and 0.5 hrs respectively.  The drug content of all the CCT was >98%. Formulation LGK3 was taken as an optimized formulation which can be exploited to achieve ChDDS of losartan potassium for the treatment of hypertension.

Pulsatile Drug Delivery

Pulsatile drug delivery system is one type of drug delivery system, where the delivery device is capable of releasing drugs after a predetermined time-delay (i.e. lag time). This system has a peculiar mechanism of delivering the drug rapidly and completely after a "lag time," i.e., a period of "no drug release." These systems are beneficial for drugs having high first-pass effect drugs administered for diseases that follow chrono pharmacological behavior such as drugs having specific absorption sites in GIT, targeting to colon; and cases where nighttime dosing is required. The objective of the present study was to formulate and evaluate a press coated pulsatile drug delivery system of simvastatin in order to attain a time controlled release to lower the blood cholesterol level by releasing the drug with a distinct predetermined lag time of five hrs. Simvastatin is a water insoluble drug and its absorption is dissolution rate limited. The core formulations were composed of simvastatin and disintegrants like lycoat, SSG, ludiflash in different ratios and was coated with xanthan gum, guar gum, HPMC K4M, HPMC K15M as a release modifier. Press coated tablets were evaluated for hardness, friability, drug content, and in vitro drug release. Result of in vitro dissolution study of the prepared tablet suggested that, the release of drug from press coated tablets match with chrono-biological requirement of disease.

Floating Tablets

Floating Drug Delivery Systems (FDDS) have a bulk density lower than gastric fluids and thus remain buoyant in the stomach for a prolonged period of time, without affecting the gastric emptying rate. While the system is floating on the gastric contents, the drug is released slowly at a desired rate from the system. These floating tablets mainly prepared for reduction of lag time and release the drug up to 12 hours and may also increase the bioavailability of the drugs by utilizing the drug to full extent avoiding unnecessary frequency of dosing. The purpose of this research was to develop and evaluated floating matrix tablets of sacubitril and valsartan. The floating matrix tablets of sacubitril and valsartan were prepared by direct compression method using altered concentrations of HPMC K4M, HPMC K100M, sodium alginate as polymers and sodium bicarbonate, citric acid as gas generating agent. FTIR, DSC studies conformed that there was no incompatibility between the polymers and the drug. Tablet preformulation parameters were within the pharmacopoeias limit. Tablets were evaluated by different parameters such as weight uniformity, content uniformity, thickness, hardness, in vitro release studies, buoyancy determination and kinetic analysis of dissolution data. The varying concentration of gas generating agent and polymers was found to affect on in-vitro drug release and floating lag time. Tablet showed ≤ 1min lag time, continuance of buoyancy for >12 h. The in-vitro drug release pattern of sacubitril and valsartan optimized floating tablets (F16) was fitted to different kinetic models which showed highest regression (r2 = 0.9838) for Higuchi model. The Optimized formulation (F16) showed no significant change in physical appearance, drug content, floating lag time, in vitro dissolution studies after 75%±5% RH at 40±20C relative humidity for 6 months.  Prepared floating tablets of sacubitril and valsartan may prove to be a potential candidate for safe and effective controlled drug delivery over an extended period of time for gastro retentive drug delivery system.

Physical Parameters

The purpose of this investigation was to prepare a gastroretentive drug delivery system of Ofloxacin. Ofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibacterial which acts by inhibiting the topoisomerase enzyme which is essential in the reproduction of the bacterial DNA. It is highly soluble in acidic media and precipitates in alkaline media thereby losing its solubility. Hence, a gastroretentive system was developed to enhance the bioavailability by retaining it in the acidic environment of the stomach. Different formulations were formulated using various concentrations of hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose, sodium carboxy methyl cellulose, sodium bicarbonate and citric acid. The formulations were evaluated for quality control tests and all the physical parameters evaluated are within the acceptable limits of Indian Pharmacopoeia. All the formulations were subjected to in-vitro dissolution studies and compared with the marketed formulation. The floating lag time was below 15 seconds for all the formulations except F1 and F2. The floating duration was found to be more than 24 hours in all except F1, F2 and F10. Formulations F7 and F8 were used to study the effect of sodium bicarbonate and formulations F9 and F10 for the effect of hardness on the drug release. Drug release kinetics was studied for prepared formulations and optimized formulation F5 was found to follow zero order kinetics with r2 =0.993. The statistical analysis of the parameters of dissolution data obtained before and after storage for 3 months at 25°C/ 60%RH and 40°C/75%RH showed no significant change indicating the two dissolution profiles were similar.

Drug Release Profile

Floating matrix tablets of losartan potassium were developed with an aim to prolong its gastric residence time and increase the bioavailability of drug. Rapid gastrointestinal transit could result in incomplete drug release from the drug delivery system above the absorption zone leading to diminished efficacy of the administered dose. The tablets were prepared by wet granulation technique, using polymers Methocel K15 and Methocel K100 in combination with other standard excipients. Sodium bicarbonate was incorporated as gas generating agent. The effects of sodium bicarbonate and polymers on drug release profile and floating properties were investigated. It was found that viscosity of Methocel K15 and Methocel K100 along with sodium bicarbonate had significant impact on the release and floating properties of the delivery system. The decrease in the release rate was observed with an increase in the viscosity of the polymeric system. Polymer with high viscosity Methocel K100 was shown to be beneficial than low viscosity polymer Methocel K15 in improving the floating properties of gastric floating drug delivery system (GFDDS). The observed difference in the drug release and floating properties of GFDDS could be attributed to the difference in the basic properties of two polymers, Methocel K15 and Methocel K100 due to their water uptake potential and functional group substitution. The release mechanism were explored and described with zero-order, first-order and Korsmeyer-Peppas equations. The drug release profiles and buoyancy of the floating tablets were stable when stored at 40°C/75% RH for 6 months.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/icpj.v2i1.12872 International Current Pharmaceutical Journal 2012, 2(1): 11-17

The objective of this work was to design and evaluate an oral site-specific, pulsatile drug delivery system containing Pantoprazole sodium which can be targeted to colon in a pH and time dependent manner, to modulate the drug level in synchrony with the circadian rhythm of nocturnal hyperacidity. Five different composition of Core tablets were prepared by direct compression technique. Based on the release studies of core tablets, nine different compositions of press coated tablets were prepared and analyzed. The press coated tablet further coated by using five different proportions of Eudragit RS PO for providing consistent, reproducible chronomodulated release profile. Formulation FPC3 is more suitable among the formulations to design pulsatile release formulations of pantoprazole sodium for 6 hours lag time. After this lag time burst release was observed which exhibited sigmodial release pattern and that was considered to be an ideal for the pulsatile drug delivery system. The chronomodulated drug delivery systems for pantoprazole sodium for the treatment of hyperacidity was successfully developed and the release of the drug was sharp and complete after the lag time which is necessary for any pulsatile drug delivery systems.

A method for the development of press coated tablet of atenolol for pulsatile delivery was investigated for chronotherapy of hypertension. Effect of viscosity of Hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC) on pulsatile release of atenlol was studied by press coating atenolol core tablet using different viscosity grade HPC and varying coat weight. L-HPC, M-HPC and H-HPC viscosity garde with 75, 100 and 150 mg coat weight were press coated over atenolol core tablets to delay release of atenolol. The batches, HP1-HP9, exhibited an increase in lag time in response to increase in viscosity and coat weight. Two of the batches HP5 and HP7 have shown a burst release of atenolol after 6.5 and 6.0 h lag time respectively, which is suitable for pulsatile drug delivery of atenolol for chronotherapy of hypertension.
