Rosuvastatin belongs to the statin medication class, which is used to treat excessive cholesterol and prevent heart disease. The Biopharmaceutical Classification System classifies it as class II. The goal of this project is to create 10 mg Rosuvastatin instant release pills using several types of materials. To boost the drug's bioavailability, superdisintegrants were used to speed up the disintegration and dissolution of Rosuvastatin calcium. Cited research work aims to formulate an immediate release tablet of Rosuvastatin for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia, hypolipoproteinemia, and atherosclerosis. The present work used a cost-effective wet granulation process to create an immediate release formulation of Rosuvastatin calcium. All of the batches were manufactured, and the granules were evaluated for pre-compression properties such as loss on drying, bulk density, tapped density, and compressibility index. Disintegration time and assay were determined to be within acceptable parameters, as were weight fluctuation, thickness, hardness, and friability of tablets. The effect of several superdisintegrants on in vitro dissolutions in 6.8 PH phosphate buffer was investigated. The final formulation was chosen based on the dissolving profile; dissolution studies revealed that formulations F2 and F4 released 80 percent of the medication within 15 minutes. Two different formulations of Rosuvastatin Calcium 5.199 and 10.398 mg employing immediate-release tablets were successfully generated using Crospovidone, Meglumine, and Comprecel 112D+®. The tablets showed complete drug release in 60 minutes and fair flow characteristics when compared to the innovators' product.

The main goal of this study was to develop a stable formulation of antihypertensive drugs telmisartan and hydrochlorothiazide as an immediate-release bilayer tablet and to evaluate the dissolution profile in comparison with a reference product. The formulation development work was initiated with wet granulation. Telmisartan was converted to its sodium salt by dissolving in aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide to improve solubility and drug release. Lactose monohydrate and microcrystalline cellulose were used as diluents. Starch paste is prepared in purified water and was used as the binder. Sodium starch glycolate is added as a disintegrating agent. Magnesium stearate was used as the lubricant. The prepared granules were compressed into a double-layer compression machine. The tablets thus formulated with higher proportion of sodium starch glycolate showed satisfactory physical parameters, and it was found to be stable and in vitro release studies are showed that formulation (F-T5H5) was 101.11% and 99.89% respectively. The formulation T5H5 is further selected and compared with the release profile of the innovator product, and was found to be similar (f2 factor) to that of the marketed product. The results suggest the feasibility of developing bilayer tablets consisting of telmisartan and hydrochlorothiazide for the convenience of patients with hypertension.

The present work involves the formulation development, optimization and In-vitro evaluation of bilayer tablet containing Lansoprazole in the immediate release layer and Amoxycillin in the sustained release layer, using sodium starch glycolate as a super disintegrant for the immediate release layer and the hydrophilic matrix HPMC K100M, hydrophobic matrix Ethyl cellulose are used in the sustained release layer. Bilayer tablet showed as initial burst effect to provide dose of immediate release layer Lansoprazole to control the acid secretion level and the sustained release of Amoxycillin for 24 hours. Immediate and sustained release tablets were formulated by wet granulation method because of the poor flow property of the blends. The prepared bilayer tablet was evaluated for their precompression parameters, physical characteristics like hardness, friability, uniformity of weight, uniformity of drug content, swelling index, In-vitro floating studies and In-vitro drug release. The release of the lansoprazole from the immediate release layer was found to be 97.46 ± 0.15% in 15minutes. The release of Amoxycillin Trihydrate for the sustained release floating layer was found to be 98.25 ± 0.14% in 12 hours. Lansoprazole potentiate the effect of Amoxycillin.

Glibenclamide is a BCS Class II drug and poses a major problem during formulation development. In the present study, adsorption onto various carriers was used to enhance the solubility of glibenclamide. It was observed that solubility of glibenclamide was greatly enhanced by adsorbing onto mesoporous silica. The increase in solubility of poorly soluble drugs is often associated with the generation of supersaturation, which results in the risk of drug precipitation. HPMC E5 was used as precipitation inhibitor to maintain sink condition for a longer duration. A 32 full factorial design was adopted to optimize the ratio of glibenclamide (X1) and mesoporous silica as a carrier (X2) and the effect of different ratios was studied on percent yield, percent drug loading, and percent drug release. X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and Differential scanning calorimetry studies were performed to investigate any possible interaction in between glibenclamide and mesoporous silica. An optimum batch of drug adsorbate was used to prepare immediate-release tablets. The tablets prepared were evaluated for thickness, uniformity of weight, hardness, friability, in-vitro disintegration time, and in vitro drug release study.

The present study aimed at preparing fast dissolving oral films of Eletriptan as a model drug which is used for the migraine treatment. Fast dissolving dosage forms have acquired great importance in pharmaceutical industry because of their unique properties. In the present research work various trials were carried out using different grades of HPMC E3, E6, and E15, maltodextrin DE6 and other polymers by solvent casting method. The prepared films were evaluated for film thickness, folding endurance, surface pH, morphological properties, % drug content and content uniformity, tensile strength, percent elongation, in vitro disintegration time and in vitro dissolution studies. The optimized formulation F24 prepared using HPMC E15 showed minimum disintegration time (10 sec), highest dissolution rate i.e. 99% of drug within 8 min and satisfactory physicochemical properties. The optimized film was evaluated for its bioavailability compared with pure drug as reference standard. Statistical analysis revealed that no significant difference between the bioavailability parameters of the film and the reference standard indicated that they exhibited comparable plasma level-time profiles. These findings suggest that the fast dissolving film containing Eletriptan is considered to be potentially useful for the treatment of migraine where quick onset of action is desirable.

This work proposes a methodology for the design, development, optimisation, and evaluation of amorphous rosuvastatin calcium tablets (BCS class II drug). The main goal was to ensure rapid disintegration and high dissolution rate of the active ingredient, thus enhancing its bioavailability. The design started from a careful selection of excipients, which due to their characteristics and proportions within the formulation allowed the use of their properties such as fluidity or granulometric distribution. The formulation was characterised using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) methods. The galenic SeDeM methodology was used to establish the profile of the active ingredient-excipient mixture and guarantee its suitability for producing tablets by the direct compression method. The results demonstrate that the amorphous rosuvastatin calcium tablets formulation developed made it possible to obtain cost-effective tablets by direct compression with optimal pharmacotechnical characteristics that showed a remarkable disintegration and dissolution rate. The manufactured tablets complied with the pharmacopoeia guidelines regarding uniformity of weight, tablet hardness, thickness, friability, in vitro disintegration time and dissolution profile.
