OBJECTIVE: In this study we explore the method to prepare tanshinone self-microemulsifying sustained-release microcapsules using tanshinone self-microemulsion as the core material, and chitosan and alginate as capsule materials. METHODS: The optimal preparation technology of chitosan-alginate tanshinone self-microemulsifying sustained-release microcapsules was determined by using the orthogonal design experiment and single-factor analysis. The drug loading and entrapment rate were used as evaluation indexes to assess the quality of the drug, and the in vitro release rate was used to evaluate the drug release performance. RESULTS: The best technology of chitosan-alginate tanshinone self-microemulsifying sustained-release microcapsules is as follows: the concentration of alginate is 1.5%, the ratio of tanshinone self-microemulsion volume to alginate volume to chitosan mass is 1:1:0.5 (ml: ml: g), and the best concentration of calcium chloride is 2.0%. To prepare the microcapsules using this technology, the drug loading will be 0.046%, the entrapment rate will be 80.23%, and the 24-hour in vitro cumulative release rate will be 97.4%. CONCLUSION: The release of the microcapsules conforms to the Higuchi equation and the first-order drug release model and has a good sustained-release performance.

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.

 Objective: The current study involves the fabrication of oral bilayer matrix designs of a combination of two drugs, metoprolol succinate and atorvastatin calcium, the optimization of their in vitro release and characterization using the design expert software. Metoprolol succinate, a β1- selective adrenergic receptor blocking agent, is used in the management of hypertension has a half-life of approximately 4–5 h; thus, there is the need to use extended-release formulation for prolonged action. Atorvastatin is a hydroxymethylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase inhibitor, an antilipidemic, used to lower blood cholesterol. The rationale for this fixed-dose combination is to coadminister two drugs acting by different mechanisms of action together, reduce dosing frequency, and increase patient compliance.Methods: A 32 factorial design was selected to analyze the effect of critical factors, polymer concentration of Kollidon sustained release (SR), and Eudragit RS and their interaction on the in vitro release of the SR part containing metoprolol succinate. The drug release at 2 h (Q2), 8 h (Q8), and 20 h (Q20) was taken as responses. The blends of both layers were prepared, evaluated for precompression characteristics, and compressed by direct compression. The compressed bilayer tablets were evaluated for their hardness, weight variation, friability, content uniformity, diameter, and in vitro release.Result and Conclusion: The release profile indicates Higuchi’s kinetics. Contour and surface response plots show significant interaction among the formulation variables. Formulation MS06 containing 70 mg Kollidon SR and 10 mg Eurdragit RS was found to be the optimized formulation, controlling the drug release for a 24 h period.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of Sucro Ester 7 (sucrose distearate) as additive for preparing sustained release suppositories of tiaprofenic acid. Suppocire AIM (semi-synthetic glycerides) was used as suppository base and formulations were prepared containing different ratios of sugar ester: Suppocire AIM. Content uniformity, disintegration time and in vitro release characteristics of suppositories were investigated. Significant decrease in the extent of drug release was observed with the increase in the content of sugar ester, which was due to the longer disintegration time of suppositories.

Abstract Sterilization processes ensure sterility of drug delivery systems, but may negatively affect the properties of biomaterials and incorporated drugs by changing their physical, chemical, mechanical properties and drug release behaviour. Therefore, it is important to investigate their influence. In this study, the influence of ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilization on the drug loading and release behaviour of incorporated Diclofenac (DCF) in a Poly-L-lactide (PLLA) coating and Dexamethasone (DMS) in the silicone carrier is presented. Silicone samples containing DMS were coated with PLLA containing DCF varying in layer thickness (5, 10, and 20 μm). Half of the samples underwent EtO sterilization, the other half was not sterilized. All un-/sterilized sample surfaces were in view of the morphology and hydrophilicity examined. Furthermore, in vitro release studies of DMS and DCF were conducted. The sterilized sample surfaces showed no morphological and hydrophilicity changes. The DCF and DMS loadings were similar for the sterile and untreated samples. This also applied to the in vitro DMS release profiles apart from the end of the studies where slight differences were evident. The results indicate that both drugs loaded in the polymer coating and the silicone were not impaired by the sterilization process. Thus, EtO sterilization appears suitable for DMS containing silicone and DCF incorporated PLLA coatings as a dual drug delivery system.

Fig. 12 Scanning electron micrograph of D.L-PLA nanoparticles loaded with CGP 57813. (Ref. 51.) scanning force microscopy (also called atomic force microscopy), enable the visualiza-tion of nanoparticles at atmospheric pressure without gold coating [12,64]. Neverthe-less, the resolution obtained with these new tools is still lower than that with SEM. For size determination, transmission electron microscopy is not as widely used as PCS and SEM, but it is still a powerful method for determining the morphology of particles. With this technique, Fessi et al. [42] estimated the wall thickness of PLA nanocapsules. Krause et al. [18] described the highly porous structure of PLA nano-spheres prepared by the emulsion-evaporation procedure. VIII. IN VITRO RELEASE STUDIES In vitro release studies should in principle be useful for quality control as well as for the prediction of in vivo kinetics. Unfortunately, due to the very small size of the par-ticles, the release rate observed in vivo can differ greatly from the release obtained in a buffer solution. However, in vitro release studies remain very useful for quality control as well as for evaluation of the influence of process parameters on the release rate of active compounds. In vitro drug release from microdispersed systems has been exten-sively reviewed by Washington [65]. Depending on the type of polyester, drug release from nanoparticles can take place through several processes, of which the following appear to be the most important: (1) The drug may diffuse out of the carrier through the solid matrix; to allow complete release from the carriers, (the concentration of drug in the release medium should re-main infinitely low, which condition is known as sink condition); (2) The solvent may penetrate the nanoparticles and dissolve the drug, which then diffuses out into the re-lease medium. Depending on the physico-chemical characteristics of the particles, wa-ter can enter the particles through narrow pores or by hydration. Once the drug is dis-solved, the drug diffuses out of the particles. Here again, since diffusion is driving the

Polymeric microspheres of gliclazide were prepared to provide sustained release delivery of gliclazide to aid in continuous therapy with high margin of safety. Gliclazide was microencapsulated with different polymers namely HPMC K100LV, Ethocel (20 cps) and HPMC K100M by emulsion solvent evaporation technique using acetone as internal phase and liquid paraffin as external phase. Seventeen formulations were prepared using different drug loading and polymeric ratio of which nine formulations were prepared by a 32 full factorial design. Each formulation was evaluated for flow properties, particle size, surface morphology, drug entrapment efficiency, drug release and compatibility. Yield (%) for every batch of microspheres was measured. Flow properties of the microspheres were examined by determining bulk density, tapped density, Carr’s compressibility index, Hausner ratio and angle of repose. Particle size distribution was examined by sieving and particle size analyzer. Surface morphology was determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In-vitro drug release was studied in a paddle type dissolution apparatus (USP Type II Dissolution Apparatus) for a period of 8 hours at 37°C using phosphate buffer ( pH 7.4). FTIR and DSC studies established compatibility of the drug with the polymers. Microspheres prepared with Ethocel (20 cps) and HPMC K100M were free flowing than those prepared only with HPMC K100LV. Entrapment efficiencies were within 75.88-99.69%. Microspheres prepared with Ethocel (20 cps) and HPMC K100M showed more sustained release when compared to microspheres prepared with HPMC K100LV only. Increase in drug loading resulted in increased drug release for the microspheres. Kinetic modeling of in vitro dissolution profiles revealed the drug release mechanism ranging from diffusion controlled to anomalous type. Ethocel and HPMC K100M in a ratio of 1:3 exhibited better sustained release properties than 1:1 and 3:1 ratios. The release rate of gliclazide from microspheres prepared with Ethocel (20 cps) and HPMC K100M was less than the release rate of gliclazide from microspheres prepared with HPMC K100LV, demonstrating Ethocel and HPMC K100M as suitable polymeric blend for preparing the controlled release formulation for gliclazide whereas, HPMC K100LV was found not suitable candidate when used alone as a polymer.

Objective. The main objective of the present investigation was to develop and optimize oral sustained release Chitosan nanoparticles (CNs) of rifampicin by design of experiment (DOE). Methodology. CNs were prepared by modified emulsion ionic gelation technique. Here, inclusion of hydrophobic drug moiety in the hydrophilic matrix of polymer is applied for rifampicin delivery using CN. The 23 full-factorial design was employed by selecting the independent variables such as Chitosan concentration (X1), concentration of tripolyphosphate (X2), and homogenization speed (X3) in order to achieve desired particle size with maximum percent entrapment efficiency and drug loading. The design was validated by checkpoint analysis, and formulation was optimized using the desirability function. Results. Particle size, drug entrapment efficiency, and drug loading for the optimized batch were found to be 221.9 nm, 44.17 ± 1.98% W/W, and 42.96 ± 2.91% W/W, respectively. In vitro release data of optimized formulation showed an initial burst followed by slow sustained drug release. Kinetic drug release from CNs was best fitted to Higuchi model. Conclusion. Design of Experiment is an important tool for obtaining desired characteristics of rifampicin loaded CNs. In vitro study suggests that oral sustained release CNs might be an effective drug delivery system for tuberculosis.
