 In the current scenario of pharmaceutical research much attention has been focused on patients health in terms of therapeutic efficacy and economical standards (price factor).The formulation design consist of core tablets designed by direct compression method. Core tablets were coated with an naturally occurring swelling agent (carbopol & Karaya gum). Evaluation studies were performed for prepared pulsatile tablets hardness. In in vitro release profile of 6 hours study in first 5 hours it shows minimum drug release and at the end of six hours rapid and transient release was observed. Stability studies proved that coating of tablets seems to decrease the effect of temperature and moisture on degradation of Zafirlukast. The pulsatile release has been achieved from tablet over a 7-8 hour period.

Various systematic phases such as inflammation, tissue proliferation, and phases of remodeling characterize the process of wound healing. The natural matrix system is suggested to maintain and escalate these phases, and for that, microfibers were fabricated employing naturally occurring polymers (biopolymers) such as sodium alginate, gelatin and xanthan gum, and reinforcing material such as nanoclay was selected. The fabrication of fibers was executed with the aid of extrusion-gelation method. Rifampicin, an antibiotic, has been incorporated into a biopolymeric solution. RF1, RF2, RF3, RF4 and RF5 were coded as various formulation batches of microfibers. The microfibers were further characterized by different techniques such as SEM, DSC, XRD, and FTIR. Mechanical properties and physical evaluations such as entrapment efficiency, water uptake and in vitro release were also carried out to explain the comparative understanding of the formulation developed. The antimicrobial activity and whole blood clotting of fabricated fibers were additionally executed, hence they showed significant results, having excellent antimicrobial properties; they could be prominent carriers for wound healing applications.

This investigation highlighted the development of a solid self micro emulsifying drug delivery system (solid SMEDDS) for improved oral delivery of Valsartan. Liquid SMEDDS were formulated and then the liquid formulation was transformed into free-flowing powder by adsorption on a solid carrier. Here the formulations were prepared in various ratios of the drug to the excipients. Various evaluation studies were performed. In-vitro release profiles of all formulations were evaluated. The concentration of the diffused drug was measured using a UV-visible spectrophotometer at λmax= 250 nm. The faster dissolution was exhibited by the formulations containing Avicel. The experimental results for prepared solid-SMEDDS showed the improved dissolution of the study drug in a short time. F-3 (Assay:77%; Dissolution: 51.7% after 45 min, 63% after 60 min) and F-4 (Assay:63%; Dissolution: 49.1% after 45 min, 67% after 60 min) showed better evaluation study and this two might be formulated in future. Thus, this study revealed the formulation solid-SMEDDS using Aerosil 200 as an adsorbent with the potential of enhancing the solubility, and dissolution rate of the drug. Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind.

Thymol, a naturally occurring antioxidant and antimicrobial, is commonly researched for active packaging applications to deter food spoilage and bacterial growth. However, the high temperature necessary for processing often volatilizes the thymol, reducing its utility. To overcome this processing limitation, sugar-based poly(anhydride-esters) comprising thymol and compounds generally regarded as safe (succinic and tartaric acid) were successful prepared via mild solution polymerization methods. In vitro release studies demonstrated a sustained thymol release over 3 weeks at therapeutically relevant concentrations. Furthermore, the released thymol displayed antioxidant and antimicrobial activities as indicated by a 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging and Kirby–Bauer disk diffusion assays, respectively. High-temperature melt blending with low-density polyethylene revealed that the chemical incorporation of thymol into a polymer backbone overcame volatility issues and maintained relevant bioactivity.

SummaryDuring the collection of samples for plasma β-thromboglobulin (β-TG) determination, it is well established that artificially high values can be observed due to in-vitro release. To estimate the reliability of a single β-TG measurement, blood samples were collected simultaneously from both arms on two separate occasions in 56 diabetic patients selected for a clinical trial. From each arm, blood was taken into two tubes containing an anticoagulant mixture with (tube A) and without (tube B) PGE!. The overall mean value of B-TG in tube B was 1.14 times higher than in tube A (p <0.01). The markedly large between-arms variation accounted for the most part of within-subject variation in both tubes and was significantly greater in tube B than in tube A. Based on the difference between B-TG values from both arms, the number of subjects with artifically high B-TG values was significantly higher in tube B than in tube A on each occasion (overall rate: 28% and 14% respectively). Estimate of between-occasions variation showed that B-TG levels were relatively stable for each subject between two occasions in each tube. It is concluded that the use of PGEi decreases falsely high B-TG levels, but a single measurement of B-TG does not provide a reliable estimate of the true B-TG value in vivo.

Nanoparticulate Carriers which is biodegradable, biocompatible and bio adhesive have significant feasible applications for administration of therapeutic molecules. The present study was aimed to formulate and optimise Capecitabine loaded Chitosan-Fe3O4 Nanoparticles and to study the in-vitro evaluation by sigma dialysis method. Capecitabine loaded chitosan – Fe3O4 nanoparticles batches with different ratios of drug: polymer (1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, 1:6) were prepared by ionic gelation method. Increase in polymer concentration increases the nanoparticle drug content. Entrapment efficiency was 60.12% with drug to polymer ratio F3 (1:3). In-vitro release was found to be 65.20% for 12 hrs. Capecitabine from chitosanFe3O4 nanoparticles SEM image reveals discrete spherical structure and particles with size range of 100-500nm. FTIR studies represent the functional groups present with no characteristics change in formulations. Samples stored at refrigerator conditions showed better stability compared with samples kept at other conditions during 8 weeks of storage.

The objective of the present study is to develop chewable tablets containing different pharmaceutical compositions with simple manufacturing procedures using different excipients. Mannitols, L-HPC 11, Aspartame, Crospovidone, Crospovidone, Aerosil, and Magnesium Stearate are used as excipients for effective formulation of anti-asthmatic drug Montelukast. Montelukast is a selective, orally acting leukotriene receptor antagonist that is used for the treatment of asthma and seasonal allergic rhinitis. Montelukast chewable tablets were prepared by Direct Compression methods using suitable excipients. The chewable tablets were better presented using artificial sweetener Aspartame as flavouring agent. A total of forteen formulations were prepared and the granules were evaluated for pre-compression parameters. The formulated tablets were evaluated for post-compression parameters .The results showed that all the physical parameters were within the acceptable limits. The in vitro release study of all the formulations showed good release. The study concludes that aforementioned excipients can be used to design chewable montelukast sodium tablets.
