Aceclofenac (ACE) is NSAIDs of a phenyl acetic acid class. It is indicated in arthritis and osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis. It has short elimination half life of 4 hours. The objective of the study is to design, characterize and evaluate bioadhesive microspheres of ACE employing carbopol (CP) as bioadhesive polymer. Bioadhesive microspheres of ACE were prepared by solvent evaporation method. The prepared microspheres were free flowing and spherical in shape and characterized for drug loading, mucoadhesion test, infrared spectroscopy (IR), differential scanning colorimetry (DSC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The in-vitro release studies were performed using pH 6.8 phosphate buffer. The drug loaded microspheres in a ratio of 1:5 showed 47% of drug entrapment; percentage mucoadhesion was 81% and 89% release in 10 h. The infrared spectra and DSC showed stable character of aceclofenac in the drug loaded microspheres and revealed the absence of drug-polymer interactions. SEM studies showed that the microspheres are spherical and porous in nature. The in vitro release profiles from microspheres of different polymer-drug ratios followed Higuchi model.

The aim of the study is to formulate a modified release chitosan nanoparticles for the oral delivery of atorvastatin and to study the in vitro release of atorvastatin from chitosan nanoparticles. Atorvastatin-loaded chitosan nanoparticles were prepared with different concentration of cross-linking agent (glutaraldehyde) by emulsion interfacial reaction method. The formed nanoparticles were characterized in terms of size and morphological characteristics by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Spherical and regular nanoparticles with the size range of 100-250nm were formed. Atorvastatin encapsulation efficiency of nanoparticles was found to be highest in ANP3, followed by ANP2 and ANP1. The in vitro release of atorvastatin was studied by membrane diffusion technique. The resulted cumulative percentage of drug released for ANP1, ANP2 and ANP3 were 60.08%, 34.81% and 20.39% respectively. Through this study, the nanoparticles preparation technique has shown to be a promising approach for enhancing the dissolution of hydrophobic drugs like atorvastatin calcium. The application of this novel delivery system offers good therapeutic potential in the management of hypercholesterolemia and dyslipidemia.

Abstract Background The current investigation is focused on the development and characterization of Eudragit S100 coated nitazoxanide-loaded microbeads as colon-targeted system utilizing central composite design (CCD) and desirability function. The study initiated with the selection of a BCS class II drug nitazoxanide and its preformulation screening with excipients, selection of polymer and identification of concentration for CCD, selection of optimized formulation based on desirability function, and in vitro release studies in simulated gastric and colonic media and stability studies. A two-factor, three-level CCD was employed with two independent variables, i.e. X1 (chitosan % w/v) and X2 (sodium tripolyphosphate % w/v), and three dependent variables, i.e. Y1 (particle size in micrometres), Y2 (percentage yield) and Y3 (percent entrapment efficiency), were chosen. Additionally, surface morphology, mucoadhesion and in vitro drug release studies were also conducted. Result Chitosan concentration showing maximum entrapment and optimum particle size was selected to formulate chitosan beads. The polynomial equation and model graphs obtained from the Design-Expert were utilized to examine the effect of independent variables on responses. The effect of formulation composition was found to be significant (p ˂ 0.05). Based on the desirability function, the optimized formulation was found to have 910.14 μm ± 1.03 particle size, 91.84% ± 0.64 percentage yield and 84.75% ± 0.38 entrapment efficiency with a desirability of 0.961. Furthermore, the formulations were characterized for in vitro drug release in simulated colonic media (2% rat caecal content) and have shown a sustained release of ∼ 92% up to 24 h as compared to in vitro release in simulated gastric fluid. Conclusion The possibility of formulation in enhancing percentage yield and entrapment efficiency of nitazoxanide and the utilization of CCD helps to effectively integrate nitazoxanide microbeads into a potential pharmaceutical dosage form for sustained release.

AbstractGlucosamine sulfate (GS) has been used orally for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA). However, it may be susceptible to the liver first pass phenomenon, which greatly affects its bioavailability, in addition to its side effects on the gastrointestinal tract. Alginate nanoparticles (Alg NPs) were investigated as a new drug carrier for transdermal delivery of GS to improve its effectiveness and reduce side effects. GS-Alg NPs were characterized by encapsulation efficiency, NP yield, particle size and surface charge properties. The in vitro release studies of GS and the ex vivo permeability through rat skin were determined using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. GS-Alg NPs are within the nanometer range of size. High negative surface charge values are obtained and indicate the high suspension stability of the prepared formulation. The in vitro release studies showed that GS is released from Alg NPs in a sustained and prolonged manner. The ex vivo permeability of GS through rat skin is enhanced significantly after encapsulation in the negatively charged Alg NPs. We successfully reported a highly stable nanoparticlulate system using Alg NPs that permits the encapsulation of GS for topical administration, overcoming the disadvantages of oral administration.

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.

Abstract PURPOSE: Transdermal delivery of anti-inflammatory lumiracoxib (LM) could be an interesting strategy to avoid the side effects associated with systemic delivery, but it is ineffective due to the drug poor skin penetration. We have investigated the effects of oleic acid (OA), a lipid penetration enhancer, on the in vitro release of LM from poloxamer-based delivery systems (PBDS). The rheological behavior (shear rate dependent viscosity) and gelation temperature through measurements of optimal sol-gel transition temperatures (Tsol-gel) were also carried out in these systems. METHODS: In vitro release studies of LM from PBDS were performed using cellulose acetate as artificial membrane mounted in a diffusion system. The amount of LM released was divided by exposition area (µg/cm2) and these values were plotted as function of the time (h). The flux of the drug across the membrane (J) was calculated from the slope of the linear portion of the plot and expressed as µg/cm2. h -1. The determination of viscosity was carried out at different shear rates (γ) between 0.1- 1000 S-1 using a parallel plate rheometer. Oscillatory measurements using a cone-plate geometry rheometer surrounded by a double jacket with temperature varying 4-40°C, was used in order to determine Tsol-gel. RESULTS: Increase of both polymer and OA concentrations increases the viscosity of the gels and consequently reduces the in vitro LM release from the PBDS, mainly for gels containing OA at 10.0% compared to other concentrations of the penetration enhancer. Tsol-gel transition temperature was decreased by increasing viscosity; in some cases the formulation was already a gel at room temperature. Rheological studies showed a pseudoplastic behavior, which facilitates the flow and improves the spreading characteristics of the formulations. CONCLUSIONS: Taken together, the results showed that poloxamer gels are good potential delivery systems for LM, leading to a sustained release, and also have appropriate rheological characteristics. Novelty of the work: A transdermal delivery of non-steroidal antinflammatory drugs like lumiracoxib (LM) can be an interesting alternative to the oral route of this drug, since it was recently withdraw of the market due to the liver damage when systemically administered in tablets as dosage form. There are no transdermal formulations of LM and it could be an alternative to treat inflammation caused by arthritis or arthrosis. Then, an adequate delivery system to LM is necessary in order to release the drug properly from the PBDS as well as have good characteristics related to semi-solid preparations for transdermal application, which were evaluated through in vitro release studies and rheological behavior in this paper, respectively.
