The goal of this study is to develop a long-acting Lansoprazole delivery system. Lansoprazole belongs to a class of antisecretory drugs known as substituted benzimidazoles, which decrease gastric acid secretion by inhibiting the (H+,K+)-ATPase enzyme system at the secretory membrane of the stomach parietal cell. Due to its mechanism of action, despite its short half-life of 1-5 hours, it can effectively block acid secretion for 24 hours. However, as his plasma concentration falls, the effect will diminish. Lansoprazole will be given as a sustained release tablet to avoid multiple dosing or to reduce the frequency of dose. Lansoprazole was produced and analysed utilizing natural and synthetic polymers such as Xanthan gum, Gellan gum, Carbopol 940 P, and Chitosan. Based on the findings of this experiment, it was determined that formulation F7 demonstrated sustained drug release for up to 12 hours in all developed formulations. Formulation (F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, and F6) were tested in vitro for drug release. For the improved formulation F7, the formulation and release kinetics were estimated. When the regression coefficient values of were evaluated, it was found that Peppas had the highest ‘r2' value, 0.952, indicating that drug release from formulations followed Peppas release kinetics.

The sustained-release dosage form is a well-characterized and reproducible dosage form that is designed to control drug release profile at a certain rate to reach desired drug concentration in blood plasma or at the target site. There is immense demand in the market for new sustained-release formulations used for new drug molecules which release the drug at a sustained rate. Doxofylline is one of the widely useful drugs in the market and needs to be given in a single dose for a long duration of time. For the same, we have prepared a sustained released Doxofylline tablet. Aim: This research was done to design, formulate and evaluate Doxofylline sustained-release tablets by using different concentrations of Chitosan and Guar Gum.  Methods: The factorial design was used to prepare Doxofylline sustained-release tablet. Doxofylline sustained-release tablets were prepared to employ different concentrations of Chitosan, Guar Gum, Lactose, and Magnesium Stearate in different combinations by wet granulation technique. Total 9 formulations were designed, formulated, and evaluated for the hardness, thickness, friability, % drug content, and in-vitro drug release. Results: A study of the release of drug by in-vitro found that F8 is to be the best efficient formulation which consists of both Chitosan and Guar Gum helped in delayed the release of drug up to 24 hours and performs excellent release of drug in starting hours of drug release in the body. The drug released from the F8 formulation indicates the kinetic model of First Order, by anomalous diffusion. The formulation F8 shows optimum thickness, hardness and at 40ºC±2 99.35% drug release after 24 hours shows optimum formulation.  Conclusion: This study concludes that better drug release was observed by using natural polymers.  Doxofylline with natural polymer shows good release and better dissolution rate as compared with a single synthetic polymer. Synthetic drug with natural polymer shows more future scope and this work will help the researcher in the future.

The objective of the present study was to develop a sustained release matrix tablets of Losartan potassium, an anti hypertensive drug. The sustained release tablets were prepared by wet granulation and formulated using different drug and polymer ratios. Hydrophilic natural polymers like xanthan Gum (XG), guar gum and cellulose were used. Compatibility of the drug with various excipients was studied. The compressed tablets were evaluated and showed compliance with Pharmacopoeial limits. Formulation was optimized (F2) on the basis of acceptable tablet properties and in vitro drug release. The resulting formulation produced matrix tablets with optimum hardness, consistent weight uniformity and friability. All tablets but one exhibited gradual and near completion sustained release for losartan potassium and 90.88% released at the end of 12h. The results of dissolution studies indicated that formulation F2 (drug to polymer 1:2) is the most successful of the study and exhibited drug release pattern very close to theoretical release profile. A decrease in release kinetics of the drug was observed on increasing polymer ratio. Applying exponential equation, all the formulation tablets (except F2) showed diffusion-dominated drug release. The mechanism of drug release from F2 was diffusion coupled with erosion.

Background: Moxifloxacin is a BCS class I drug used in the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis and keratitis. Despite its high water solubility, it possesses limited bioavailability due to anatomical and physiological constraints associated with the eyes which required multiple administrations to achieve a therapeutic effect. Objective: In order to prolong drug release and to improve antibacterial efficacy for the treatment of bacterial keratitis and conjunctivitis, moxifloxacin loaded nanoemulsion was developed. Methods: The concentration of oil (oleic acid), surfactant (tween 80), and cosurfactant (propylene glycol) were optimized by employing a 3-level 2-factorial design of experiment for the development of nanoemulsion. The developed nanoemulsion was characterized by particle size distribution, viscosity, refractive index, pH, drug content and release, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and antibacterial study. The compatibility of the drug with the excipients was accessed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Result: The average globule size was found to be 198.20 nm. The TEM study reveals the globules were nearly spherical and are well distributed. In vitro drug release profile for nanoemulsion shown sustained drug release (60.12% at the end of 6 h) compared to drug solution, where complete drug released within 2 h. The antibacterial effectiveness of the drug-loaded nanoemulsion was improved against S. aureus compared with the marketed formulation. Conclusion: The formulated sustained release nanoemulsion could be a promising alternative to eye drop with improved patient compliance by minimizing dosing frequency with improved antibacterial activity.

Transdermal patch is a drug delivery device in which the drugs are incorporated and is design in such a way that it releases the drug in sustained and at predetermined rate to deliver the drug through the skin to the systemic circulation painlessly. The aim of this research study was to formulate a controlled and sustained release transdermal matrix type patch of Methimazole. The matrix patch was prepared by solvent casting method using a various polymer in different concentration, HPMC (hydrophilic), Eudragit RL100 and Ethyl cellulose (hydrophobic) polymer. Total 9 prototype formulation were prepared and it was subjected for various evaluation test; weight uniformity, Folding endurance, thickness, Drug content, percent moisture content, percent Moisture uptake and In-vitro drug release study using Franz diffusion cell. The in-vitro CDR% data was fit into kinetics model to see the release kinetics from the patches. The Formulation F5 was choosen as a best formulation according to in-vitro drug release study. The in-vitro release was found 81.12 % in 12 hours, it followed zero order kinetics. The nature of polymer and concentration ratio of polymers plays a crucial role for obtaining a good transdermal patch design; therefore optimisation is very important step to formulate a desired TDDS. Therefore the result of the study encourages a further study and is hopeful that the present study would contribute to the recent pharmaceutical research for formulation development.

The objective of this study was to design oral sustained release matrix tablets of Ranolazine usinghydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) as the retardant polymer and to study the effect of formulation factors suchas polymer proportion and polymer viscosity on the release of drug. In vitro release studies were performed usingUSP type II apparatus (paddle method) in 900 mL of 0.1N HCl at 100 rpm for 12 hours. The release kinetics wasanalyzed using the zero-order, first order, Higuchi and Korsmeyer-Peppas equations to explore and explain themechanism of drug release from the matrix tablets. In vitro release studies revealed that the release rate decreasedwith increase in polymer proportion and viscosity grade. Mathematical analysis of the release kinetics indicated thatthe nature of drug release from the matrix tablets was dependent on drug diffusion and polymer relaxation andtherefore followed non-Fickian or anomalous release. The developed controlled release matrix tablets of Ranolazineprepared with high viscosity HPMC extended release up to 12 hours.Key words: Ranolazine; Sustained release; Methocel E50 Premium LV; Methocel K100LV CR; Methocel K4M CR;Methocel K15M CR.DOI: 10.3329/dujps.v8i1.5333Dhaka Univ.

Colon-targeted drug delivery systems (CTDDSs) could be useful for local treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). In this study, various interpolyelectrolyte complexes (IPECs), formed between Eudragit RL100 (EL) and chitosan (CS), by nonstoichiometric method, and tablets based on the IPECs, prepared by wet granulation, were evaluated as potential oral CTDDSs for ibuprofen (IBF). Results obtained showed that the tablets conformed to compendial requirements for acceptance and that CS and EL formed IPECs that showed pH-dependent swelling properties and prolonged the in vitro release of IBF from the tablets in the following descending order: 3 : 2 > 2 : 3 > 1 : 1 ratios of CS and EL. An electrostatic interaction between the carbonyl (–CO–) group of EL and amino (–) group of CS of the tablets formulated with the IPECs was capable of preventing drug release in the stomach and small intestine and helped in delivering the drug to the colon. Kinetic analysis of drug release profiles showed that the systems predominantly released IBF in a zero-order manner. IPECs based on CS and EL could be exploited successfully for colon-targeted delivery of IBF in the treatment of IBDs.

Commercially available four national and four international brands of esomeprazole magnesium sustained release matrix tablets were studied in simulated gastric medium (pH 1.2) for 2 hours and simulated intestinal medium (pH 6.8) for 8 hours time period using USP reference dissolution apparatus. All the national and international brands complied with the USP in-vitro dissolution specifications for drug release in simulated gastric medium. However, one of the national brands (Code: MP-1) and one of the international brands (MP-7) failed to fulfill the official requirement of 80% drug release within 8th hour in simulated intestinal medium. Drug release of that national and international brand were 70.49% and 67.05% respectively within the specified time period, however one national brand (Code: MP-4) released 103.46 % drug within 8th hour in intestinal medium. Drug release profiles were analyzed for zero order, first order and Higuchi equation to reveal the release kinetics perspective of esomeprazole magnesium sustained release matrix tablets. It was found that zero order release kinetics was the predominant release mechanism than first order and Higuchi release kinetics for those brands (Code: MP-2, MP-3, MP-4, MP-5, MP-6 and MP-8) which complied with the USP in vitro dissolution specification for drug releases. On the other hand, first order release kinetics was predominant for one national and also one international non compliant brands (Code: MP-1 and MP-6).

Objective: The objective of the present study was to develop sustained release matrix tablets of levosulpiride by using natural polymers.Method: The tablets were prepared with different ratios of Chitosan, Xanthan gum and Guar gum by wet granulation technique. The solubility study of the levosulpiride was conducted to select a suitable dissolution media for in vitro drug release studies.Results: Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) study revealed no considerable changes in IR peak of levosulpiride and hence no interaction between drug and the excipients. DSC thermograms showed that no drug interaction occurred during the manufacturing process. In vitro dissolution study was carried out for all the formulation and the results compared with marketed sustained release tablet. The drug release from matrix tablets was found to decrease with increase in polymer ratio of Chitosan, Xanthan gum and Guar gum.Conclusion: Formulation LF3 exhibited almost similar drug release profile in dissolution media as that of marketed tablets. From the results of dissolution data fitted to various drug release kinetic equations, it was observed that highest correlation was found for First order, Higuchi’s and Korsmeyer equation, which indicate that the drug release occurred via diffusion mechanism.  Keywords: Levosulpiride, sustained release tablets, natural polymers, in vitro drug release studies
