In the present investigation, sodium alginate based multiparticulate system overcoated with time and pH dependent polymer was studied in the form of oral pulsatile system to achieve pulsatile with sustained release of aceclofenac for chronotherapy of rheumatoid arthritis seven batches of micro beads with varying concentration of sodium alginate (2-5 %) were prepared by ionotropic-gelation method using CaCl2 as cross-linking agent. The prepared Ca-alginate beads were coated with 5% Eudragit L100 and filled into pulsatile capsule with varying proportion of plugging materials. Drug loaded microbeads were investigated for physicochemical properties and drug release characteristics. The mean particle sizes of drug-loaded microbeads were found to be in the range 596±1.1 to 860 ± 1.2 micron and %DEE in the range of 65-85%. FT-IR and DSC studies revealed the absence of drug polymer interactions. The release of aceclofenac from formulations F1 to F7 in buffer media (pH 6.8) at the end of 5h was 65.6, 60.7, 55.7, 41.2, 39.2, 27 and 25% respectively. Pulsatile system filled with eudragit coated Ca-alginate microbeads (F2) showed better drug content, particle size, surface topography, in-vitro drug release in a controlled manner. Different plugging materials like Sterculia gum, HPMC K4M and Carbopol were used in the design of pulsatile capsule. The pulsatile system remained intact in buffer pH 1.2 for 2 hours due to enteric coat of the system with HPMCP. The enteric coat dissolved when the pH of medium was changed to 7.4. The pulsatile system developed with Sterculia gum as plugging material showed satisfactory lag period when compared to HPMC and Carbopol.

The goal of this study was to formulate and evaluate norfloxacin sustained release tablets. Norfloxacin sustained release tablets were prepared by wet granulation method using two polymers such as HPMC K 100 M (hydrophilic polymer) and guar gum (natural polymer) and with three polymer ratios (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5). The prepared granules were evaluated to preformulation studies such as angle of repose, bulk density, tapped density, bulkiness, compressibility index and Hauser’s ratio. All the parameters shows that the granules having good flow properties. Then the formulated tablets were taken to evaluation studies such as hardness, weight variation, friability, drug content and thickness. All the parameters were within the acceptable limits. IR spectral analysis showed that there was no interaction between the drug and polymers. The in vitro release study was performed in phosphate buffer pH 7.4 at 293 nm. The in vitro release study showed that if the polymer ratio is increased, then the release of the drug is prolonged. HPMC K 100M shows a prolonged release when compared to guar gum.

Objective: The objective of this research work is to develop and evaluate mucoadhesive microspheres of an anti-migraine drug for sustained release. Materials and Methods:  Mucoadhesive microspheres were prepared by emulsification method using Sodium alginate (SA), polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and Chitosan in the various drug-polymer ratios of 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3. Nine  formulations were formulated and  evaluated for  possible drug polymer interactions, percentage yield, micromeritic properties, particle size, drug content, drug entrapment efficiency, drug loading, swelling index, In-vitro wash off test, in vitro  drug release, surface morphology and release kinetics. Results: The results showed that no significant drug polymer interaction in FTIR studies. Among all the formulations SF3 containing sodium alginate showed 77.18% drug release in 6hrs. Conclusion: Amongst the developed mucoadhesive microspheres, SF3 formulation containing sodium alginate exhibited slow and sustained release in a controlled manner and it is a promising formulation for sustained release of Sumatriptan succinate. Keywords: Mucoadhesive microspheres, Sodium alginate, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, Chitosan, sustained release.

The present study is to formulate and evaluate Acyclovir (ACV) microspheres using natural polymers like chitosan and sodium alginate. ACV is a DNA polymerase inhibitor used in treating herpes simplex virus infection and zoster varicella infections. Acyclovir is a suitable candidate for sustained-release (SR) administration as a result of its dosage regimen twice or thrice a day and relatively short plasma half-life (approximately 2 to 4 hours). Microspheres of ACV were prepared by an ionic dilution method using chitosan and sodium alginate as polymers. The prepared ACV microspheres were then subjected to FTIR, SEM, particle size, % yield, entrapment efficiency, in vitro dissolution studies and release kinetics mechanism. The FTIR spectra’s revealed that, there was no interaction between polymer and ACV. ACV microspheres were spherical in nature, which was confirmed by SEM. The particle size of microspheres was in the range of 23.8µm to 39.4µm. 72.9% drug entrapment efficiency was obtained in the formulation F3 (1:3 ratio) with a high concentration of calcium chloride (4% w/v). The in vitro performance of ACV microspheres showed sustained release depending on the polymer concentration and concentration of calcium chloride.   The release data was best fitted with zero order kinetics and Korsemeyer -Peppas release mechanism and diffusion exponent ‘n’ value of was found to be Non-Fickian.

Sodium alginate, calcium carbonate, and guar gum were mixed with oils such as olive oil (OO), sesame oil (SO), and medium chain triglyceride (MCT). The oily formulations were found to simplify the preparation of in situ floating gel. This was the aim of this study using ketoconazole (keto) as a model drug. The investigations for the floating property were established by In vitro gelling capacity study and In vitro floating study. Additionally, in vitro release study was applied to find the best formulations to delay the release of keto. Then, selected formulations were studied by FTIR and SEM. Lastly, in vivo gelation was performed to examine the gelation in the rat’s stomach. The results showed all formulations were floating after successful gelation as the least amount of sodium alginate to gel oils was 20% w/w. The gels in SO and OO were better than MCT in delaying keto release, and 30% w/w sodium alginate in SO was the best to delay the release of keto within 8 hours of the release study. Selected gels showed interactions between the keto molecules and the molecules of the gel contents by FTIR study, and SEM showed a difference in the internal structure of selected formulations. Lastly, the 30% w/w sodium alginate in SO proved to gel and remain in the rat's stomach in the following periods: 30 min, 1 hour, 2 hours, and after 8 hours. Oily suspension formulations showed floating properties in the stomach and slowed the release of keto and specifically 30% w/w of sodium alginate in SO.

The aim of the present study was to develop and evaluate sustained release floating tablets of Diltiazem hydro-chloride, an antihypertensive agent. The sustained release floating tablets were prepared by direct compression method and formulated using different polymer combinations, formulations such as F1 to F9. Natural polymer Sodium alginate and synthetic polymer HPMC K4M were used. Developed formulations were evaluated for the pre compression parameters i.e., drug- excipients compatibility by FTIR, bulk density, compressibility, and angle of repose etc. Post compression parameters i.e. weight variation; full factorial design was applied to optimize the developed formulation. SA and HPMC K4M were selected as independent variable at three different concentrations. The in-vitro drug release study revealed that formulation F8 combination of both synthetic (HPMC) and natural polymers (sodium alginate) was the most successful formulation of the study, all tablets but one exhibited gradual and near complete sustained release for diltiazem HCl (90-100%) that extended the drug release up to 8 hours, with satisfactory drug release in the initial hours, and the total release pattern was close to the theoretical release profile.  Model equations of zero and first order, Higuchi, Hixson-Crowell and Peppas, intended to elucidate the drug release mechanism, and were fitted to the release data. Mathematical modelling of in-vitro dissolution data indicated the best-fit release kinetics was achieved with Higuchi model with r2 vales of 0.994 in its semi log plot. The ‘n’ value in Higuchi model was >0.89 which indicated, Super Case-II transport of drug from polymer sustained, i.e., diffusion with relaxation of polymeric chain. In conclusion, the results indicated that the prepared sustained-release tablets of Diltiazem hydrochloride could perform therapeutically better than conventional tablets with improved efficacy and better patient compliance.
