Objective: To enhance the solubility of poorly soluble drugs by using 23 factorial design in the formulation of fast dissolving tablets by employing starch oxalate as a superdisintegrant. Methods: Starch oxalate was synthesized by gelatinization process. The physical and micromeritic properties were performed to evaluate the synthesized starch oxalate. By using 23 factorial design, atenolol fast dissolving tablet was prepared by employing starch oxalate as a superdisintegrant in different proportions in each case by direct compression method. In the evaluation of fast dissolving tablets the drug content, hardness, friability, disintegration time and other dissolution characteristics were utilized. Results: The starch oxalate prepared was found to be fine, free-flowing completely amorphous powder. The compatibility between atenolol and starch oxalate were studied and showed no interaction. The drug content, hardness, and friability have been effective with regard to all the formulated fast dissolving tablets employing starch oxalate. The optimised formulation F8 has the least disintegration time i.e., 24±0.06s. The In–vitro wetting time was less (i.e., 28s) in optimized formulation F8. The water absorption ratio of the formulated tablets was found to be more in F8 formulation 94.42±0.18%. The cumulative drug dissolved in the optimized formulation F8 was found to be 98.70±0.24% in 5 min. Conclusion: The dissolution efficiency of atenolol was enhanced when starch oxalate was found to be a superdisintegrant when combined with sodium starch glycolate, crospovidone and, hence to provide immediate release of the formulated fast dissolving tablets contained drug it could be used.

In solid dosage forms, fast dissolving tablets has proven the best way for ease of administration for the pediatrics and geriatric patients. The current study involves in the evaluation of starch glutarate as a superdintegrant in the formulation of fast dissolving tablets of poorly soluble drugs employing 23factorial design. Starch glutarate was synthesized by esterification process. The synthesized starch glutarate was subjected to physical and micromeritic evaluation. To establish as starch glutarate as a superdisintegrant, fast dissolving tablet of aceclofenac was prepared employing starch glutarate in different proportions in each case by direct compression method employing 23 factorial design. All fast dissolving tablets prepared were evaluated for drug content, hardness, friability, disintegration time and other dissolution characteristics like percent dissolved in 5 min (PD5), Dissolution efficiency in 5 min (DE5%) and first order rate constant (K1). The starch glutarate prepared was found to be fine, free flowing amorphous powder. Starch glutarate exhibited good swelling in water. Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR) and Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) study indicated the absence of interaction between aceclofenac and starch glutarate. All the fast dissolving tablets formulated employing starch glutarate were of good quality with regard to drug content (100±5%), hardness (3.6–4 kg/sq. cm), and friability (0.12-0.15%). The optimized formulation F8 has the least disintegration time i.e., 30±0.02s. The in vitro wetting time was less (i.e., 90s) in optimized formulation F8.
