Among the different type of route of administration oral route for drug administration is most common route in which Orodispersible tablet is preferred for the patient which are unconscious, week or for immediate control. The tablet gets dispersed in mouth cavity without water, present study deals with formulation of Naproxen sodium mouth dissolving tablets using super disintegrants. Naproxen sodium is analgesic and NSAID, used for the treatment of pain and inflammation caused by different condition such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and menstrual cramps. However gastric discomfort caused by naproxen sodium result in poor patient compliance associated with it conventional doses form but now days Naproxen sodium MDTs produces rapid onset of action and minimise gastric discomfort associated with it. Thus improves patient compliance, enhance bioavailability and reduces the dose of drug. MDTs are formulated by direct compression method using super disintegrants in different proportion. The powder blend is subjected to pre-compression evaluation parameters like bulk density, true density, and tapped density and angle of repose. Formulations are evaluated for weight variation, hardness, wetting time, water absorption time, disintegration time. And in vitro dissolution studies and all formulations complies Pharmacopoeias standards. The tablets are evaluated and result compared for all five formulation the most efficacious super disintegrants for MTDs of Naproxen sodium as suggested by the dispersion time, disintegration time and drug dissolution profiles. Keywords: - MDT, Naproxen Sodium, crosscarmellose Sodium, Sodium starch glycolate, Cross-povidone.

In current investigation an attempt has been made to formulate and evaluate Quinapril mouth dissolving films using HPMC 50cps, E5, E15 and in combination of Pullulan by Solvent evaporation method. Sodium starch glycolate acts as a super disintegrating agent and it is shown that as the concentration of the super disintegrates increases the disintegration time decreases. The films were evaluated for weight variation, surface pH, folding endurance, drug content, dissolving time, disintegration time, and in-vitro dissolution studies. Based on the evaluation parameters F17 was to be optimized formulation. The optimized film (F17) showed the more drug release i.e 99.40 ± 5.30% within 7 min, lowest in vitro disintegration time 10 sec. FTIR studies proved no drug polymer interaction takes place. These results revealed that fast dissolving films of Quinapril could be formulated for quick onset of action which is required in the efficient management of hypertension.

In present research work, taste masked Mouth Dissolving Tablets (MDTs) of Ranitidine Hydrochloride were designed with a view to enhance the patient compliance and provide a quick onset of action. Taste masking of the drug was done by formation of complex with β cyclodextrin. Tablets were prepared by direct compression, using superdisintegrants like crosscarmellose sodium and crosspovidone in different proportion and evaluated for the pre-compression parameters such as bulk density, compressibility, angle of repose etc. In view of the better taste palatability of such a bitter API, taste masking was carried out via making the cyclodextrin complex and sucralose was used as the sweetener to impart a palatable taste to the formulation. The prepared batches of tablets were evaluated for hardness, weight variation, friability, drug content, disintegration time and in vitro dissolution profile and found satisfactory. Among all, the formulation F7 containing 5% w/w proportion of both crosscarmellose sodium and crosspovidone was considered to be best formulation, which disintegrated completely in 19 seconds and released up to 98.38% of the drug.

Objective: The objective of this research was to formulate cinnarizine tablets using the liquid-solid compact technique to enhance its solubility and dissolution rate.Methods: Cinnarizine liquid-solid compacts were formulated using propylene glycol as the non-volatile solvent, Neusilin US2 as the carrier material, Aerosil 200 as the coating material and croscarmellose sodium as the disintegrant. The interaction between drug and excipients were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) studies. Different batches of liquid, solid compacts were prepared by using varying carrier-coating excipient ratio and different concentration of liquid medication. Flow parameters such as bulk density, tapped density, Carr’s Index, Hausner’s Ratio as well as an angle of repose were used to test the flowability of the powder blend. The liquid-solid compacts were produced by direct compression method and were evaluated for tests such as weight variation, drug content, hardness, thickness, friability, wetting time, disintegration time as well as the in vitro dissolution studies.Results: The results of the preformulation studies of liquisolid compacts showed acceptable flow properties. The results of FTIR and DSC studies showed that there is no drug-excipient interactions. The different R values and concentrations were found to have a marked effect on the dissolution profile. Formulations with higher carrier: coating ratio (R-value) and lower drug concentrations displayed a better dissolution profile. The percentage of drug release of F3 with an R-value of 20 and a drug concentration of 10% was found to be 88.11% when compared to the conventional marketed tablet which released only 44.07% at the end of 2 h.Conclusion: From this research, it is inferred that liquid-solid technique is a promising and effective approach that can be used to enhance the dissolution rate of cinnarizine.
