Valdecoxib is a selective COX- II inhibitor with anti – inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic properties. The poor aqueous solubility of the drug leads to variable dissolution rates. In the present study an attempt has been made to prepare fast dissolving tablets of Valdecoxib in the oral cavity with enhanced dissolution rate. The fast dissolving tablets of Valdecoxib was prepared with some carriers (polymers) and super disintegrants such as Polyvinyl Pyrrolidone (PVP), Sodium Carboxy Methyl Cellulose (SCMC), Crospovidone NF and β – Cyclodextrin. The above mentioned all carriers and superdisintegrants were taken in different proportions of 5, 10, and 15%. All the formulations of the fast dissolving tablets of Valdecoxib were prepared by direct compression technique. The blend was examined for Angle of repose, Bulk density, Compressibility index and Hausner’s ratio. The prepared tablets were evaluated for hardness, drug content uniformity, friability, disintegration time and dissolution rate. An effective pleasant testing formulation released 99.88% drug within 10 minutes. The prepared formulations drug release was found to be comparable with the marketed dispersible tablets.

Promethazine.HCl is a potent anti-emetic. The central antimuscarinic actions of antihistamines are probably responsible for their anti-emetic effects. Promethazine is also believed to inhibit the medullary chemoreceptor trigger zone, and antagonize apomorphine -induced vomiting. Fast dissolving tablets of Promethazine.HCl were prepared using five superdisintegrants viz; sodium starch glycolate, crospovidone, croscarmellose, L-HPC and pregelatinised starch. The precompression blend was tested for angle of repose, bulk density, tapped density, compressibility index and Hausner’s ratio. The tablets were evaluated for weight variation, hardness, friability, disintegration time (1 min), dissolution rate, content uniformity, and were found to be within standard limit. It was concluded that the fast dissolving tablets with proper hardness, rapidly disintegrating with enhanced dissolution can be made using selected superdisintegrants. Among the different formulations of Promethazine.HCl was prepared and studied and the formulation S2 containing crospovidone, mannitol and microcrystalline cellulose combination was found to be the fast dissolving formulation. In the present study an attempt has been made to prepare fast dissolving tablets of Promethazine.HCl, by using different superdisintegrants with enhanced disintegration and dissolution rate.

Both the Valsartan (VAL) and Olmesartan medoxomil (OLM) are widely prescribed anti-hypertensive agents with angiotensin II type I receptor antagonistic activity. Both VAL and OLM are type of BCS class II drugs and having a low and variable oral bioavailability.  Recrystallization of VAL and OLM from different organic solvents improved its aqueous solubility and thereby in vitro dissolution properties. In the present investigation, tablets containing Valsartan (VAL), Olmesartan medoxomil (OLM and)  recrystallized products were prepared by  direct compression method and evaluated for drug content, uniformity of weight, hardness, friability, disintegration time and dissolution properties. All the tablets fulfilled the compendial requirements with regarding to weight variation, friability and disintegration time etc for immediate release tablets.  The DP15 (drug percent dissolved at 15 min) values for V-1 (tablets of VAL), V-4 (tablets of methanol recrystallized product with crospovidone as disintegrant) and DIOVAN™ 40mg tablet formulations are 45.97,  98.95 and 82.65 respectively and V-4 formulation showed higher dissolution rate when compared to other formulations. The DP15 values of O-1(tablets of OLM), O-4 (tablets of acetonitrile recrystallized product with crospovidone as disintegrant and OLMY™ (20mg) tablet formulations are 29.25, 99.93 and 84.82 respectively. O-4 tablet formulations showed higher dissolution rate when compared to other tablet formulations. Keywords: Valsartan, Olmesartan medoxomil, Recrystallization, Aqueous solubility

Background: The present study deals with the formulation and optimization of piroxicam fast dissolving tablets and analyzes the impact of an independent variable while selecting the optimized formulation utilizing Quality by Design (QbD) and Box-Behnken Design (BBD). Methods: Seventeen formulations were prepared by direct compression technique by altering the proportion of cross carmellose sodium, spray dried lactose and hydro propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC K4M). The BBD statistical technique was used to optimize formulations and correlate the relationship among all the variables. Also, the powder mixture characteristics and tablet physiochemical properties such as hardness, friability, drug content, Disintegration Time (DT) and dissolution test were determined using 900 ml of 0.1N HCl (pH-1.2) at 37 ± 0.5°C. Results: Significant quadratic model and second order polynomial equations were established using BBD. To find out the relationship between variables and responses, 3D response surface and 2D contour plot was plotted. A perturbation graph was also plotted to identify the deviation of the variables from the mean point. An optimized formula was prepared based on the predicted response and the resulting responses were observed to be close with the predicted value. Conclusion: The optimized formulation with the desired parameter and formulation with variables and responses can be obtained by BBD and could be used in the large experiment with the involvement of a large number of variables and responses.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to enhance the dissolution pattern of the practically water-insoluble diuretic drug, furosemide through its formulation into liquisolid tablets.Methods: A mathematical model was used to formulate four liquisolid powder systems using polyethylene glycol 400 as a non-volatile water miscible liquid vehicle. The liquid loading factors of the vehicle were used to calculate the optimum quantities of carrier (Avicel PH 102) and coating materials (Aerosil 200) needed to prepare acceptably flowing and compactible powder mixtures and (R) ratio used was 25. The liquisolid tablets were evaluated for weight variation, percent friability, hardness, content uniformity, disintegration time and in vitro drug release profile. Drug and the prepared systems were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and powder x-ray diffraction (PXRD) studies.Results: The enhanced dissolution rate due to the increased wetting properties and the large available surface areas for dissolution were obtained in case of the liquisolid tablets. The selected optimal formulation (F2) of 50% drug concentration released 90% of its content during the first 10 min compared to 65% of DCT. FTIR studies revealed that there was no interaction between drug and polymers. DSC and PXRD indicated conversion of crystalline to amorphous form of furosemide. Conclusion: The dissolution rate of furosemide can be enhanced to a great extent by liquisolid technique.

Urea co-inclusion technique has been successfully utilized for steep enhancement in dissolution rate of ebastine (EB), a BCS class II potent drug. EB is a novel second generation H1 receptor antagonist used for prevention of chronic idiopathic urticaria and allergic rhinitis. It exhibits low aqueous solubility and consequent poor bioavailability. In the present study, EB was engulfed in urea channel/tunnels along with rapidly complexing agent (RCA). Resulting complexes of EB (EBUCIC) were characterized by DSC, FTIR, XRD and 1H-NMR. Minimum proportion of RCA for incorporation of EB in hexagonal urea was determined calorimetrically. The thermal studies indicated increase in heat of decomposition with increasing molar fraction of RCA in EBUCICs, ensuring better physical stability of complexes. Content uniformity study depicted uniform composition formulation of EB. Weibull model described release kinetics of EB. Enhancement in dissolution rate ensures urea co-inclusion to be a useful approach for development of rapid/instantaneous release dosage forms.
