Both the Valsartan (VAL) and Olmesartan medoxomil (OLM) are widely prescribed anti-hypertensive agents with angiotensin II type I receptor antagonistic activity. Both VAL and OLM are type of BCS class II drugs and having a low and variable oral bioavailability.  Recrystallization of VAL and OLM from different organic solvents improved its aqueous solubility and thereby in vitro dissolution properties. In the present investigation, tablets containing Valsartan (VAL), Olmesartan medoxomil (OLM and)  recrystallized products were prepared by  direct compression method and evaluated for drug content, uniformity of weight, hardness, friability, disintegration time and dissolution properties. All the tablets fulfilled the compendial requirements with regarding to weight variation, friability and disintegration time etc for immediate release tablets.  The DP15 (drug percent dissolved at 15 min) values for V-1 (tablets of VAL), V-4 (tablets of methanol recrystallized product with crospovidone as disintegrant) and DIOVAN™ 40mg tablet formulations are 45.97,  98.95 and 82.65 respectively and V-4 formulation showed higher dissolution rate when compared to other formulations. The DP15 values of O-1(tablets of OLM), O-4 (tablets of acetonitrile recrystallized product with crospovidone as disintegrant and OLMY™ (20mg) tablet formulations are 29.25, 99.93 and 84.82 respectively. O-4 tablet formulations showed higher dissolution rate when compared to other tablet formulations. Keywords: Valsartan, Olmesartan medoxomil, Recrystallization, Aqueous solubility

Promethazine.HCl is a potent anti-emetic. The central antimuscarinic actions of antihistamines are probably responsible for their anti-emetic effects. Promethazine is also believed to inhibit the medullary chemoreceptor trigger zone, and antagonize apomorphine -induced vomiting. Fast dissolving tablets of Promethazine.HCl were prepared using five superdisintegrants viz; sodium starch glycolate, crospovidone, croscarmellose, L-HPC and pregelatinised starch. The precompression blend was tested for angle of repose, bulk density, tapped density, compressibility index and Hausner’s ratio. The tablets were evaluated for weight variation, hardness, friability, disintegration time (1 min), dissolution rate, content uniformity, and were found to be within standard limit. It was concluded that the fast dissolving tablets with proper hardness, rapidly disintegrating with enhanced dissolution can be made using selected superdisintegrants. Among the different formulations of Promethazine.HCl was prepared and studied and the formulation S2 containing crospovidone, mannitol and microcrystalline cellulose combination was found to be the fast dissolving formulation. In the present study an attempt has been made to prepare fast dissolving tablets of Promethazine.HCl, by using different superdisintegrants with enhanced disintegration and dissolution rate.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to enhance the dissolution pattern of the practically water-insoluble diuretic drug, furosemide through its formulation into liquisolid tablets.Methods: A mathematical model was used to formulate four liquisolid powder systems using polyethylene glycol 400 as a non-volatile water miscible liquid vehicle. The liquid loading factors of the vehicle were used to calculate the optimum quantities of carrier (Avicel PH 102) and coating materials (Aerosil 200) needed to prepare acceptably flowing and compactible powder mixtures and (R) ratio used was 25. The liquisolid tablets were evaluated for weight variation, percent friability, hardness, content uniformity, disintegration time and in vitro drug release profile. Drug and the prepared systems were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and powder x-ray diffraction (PXRD) studies.Results: The enhanced dissolution rate due to the increased wetting properties and the large available surface areas for dissolution were obtained in case of the liquisolid tablets. The selected optimal formulation (F2) of 50% drug concentration released 90% of its content during the first 10 min compared to 65% of DCT. FTIR studies revealed that there was no interaction between drug and polymers. DSC and PXRD indicated conversion of crystalline to amorphous form of furosemide. Conclusion: The dissolution rate of furosemide can be enhanced to a great extent by liquisolid technique.

Fast Disintegrating Tablets

Felodipine which is used in the present study is a dihydropyridine derivative, that is chemically described as ethyl methyl-4-(2, 3-dichlorophenyl)-1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylate, widely accepted for its excellent antihypertensive and anti-anginal properties since it is calcium antagonist compound (calcium channel blocker). Felodipine is practically insoluble in water and its dissolution rate is limited by its physicochemical properties. In the present study fast disintegrating tablets of felodipine were prepared by adopting vacuum drying technique to study the effect of different subliming agents with various concentrations on disintegrating time. The powder blend was examined for the pre-compressional parameters. The prepared formulations were evaluated for post-compressional analysis for the parameters like hardness, friability, thickness, wetting time, water absorption ratio, weight variation, in-vitro disintegration time, in- vitro dispersion time, in-vitro dissolution study. Drug compatibility with excipients was checked by FTIR studies. The results obtained showed that quantity of ammonium bicarbonate, urea and menthol significantly affect the response variables (P> 0.05). No chemical interaction between drug and excipients was confirmed by FTIR studies. Stability studies carried out as per ICH guidelines for three months and results revealed that upon storage disintegration time of tablets decreased significantly (P> 0.05). The results concluded that fast disintegrating tablets of felodipine showing enhanced dissolution rate with increasing the concentrations of subliming agents. Among all the formulations A3 and M3 shows the improved dissolution rate which lead to improved bioavailability and effective therapy by using vacuum drying technique.

The purpose of the current study was to develop a fast dissolving polymeric oral thin film containing palonosetron hydrochloride having good mechanical properties, fast disintegration, dissolution and good drug content uniformity. Solvent casting method was used to prepare the films. Compatibility between drugs and excipients were studied using FTIR and HPLC. Nine different formulations of film from F1 to F9 were prepared using different concentration of polymer A at drug-polymer A ratio (1:26), (1:28), (1:30), (1:32), (1:34), (1:36), (1:38), (1:40), (1:42) and at polymer A-plasticizer B of (65:10), (70:10), (75:10), (40:10), (42.5:10), (45:10), (47.5:10), (50:10), (52.5:10), respectively. The in vitro dissolution study was carried out in phosphate buffer (pH 6.8) at 37±0.5oC and 50 rpm using USP XXIV paddle method. Physicochemical evaluations of all the batches were performed including weight variation, thickness, folding endurance, pH, in vitro disintegration and drug release, FTIR and content uniformity test. Maximum and minimum drug dissolution were found in F6 (108.7%) and in F1 (98.5%), respectively. The maximum and minimum disintegration time were in F9 (43.8 sec) and F1 (25 sec), respectively which demonstrated that disintegration of the film was directly proportional to the polymer A and plasticizer B concentration. It is quite evident from the present research work that the film prepared using polymer A-plasticizer B were smooth, mechanically strong and easy to peel out. Among all the batches, formulation F5 showed best results with respect to disintegration (33 sec), drug dissolution (105%), content uniformity (98.51%) and folding endurance (731). Therefore, it can be said that combination of polymer A and plasticizer B can be prospectively used for the preparation of palonosetron hydrochloride oral thin film.
