Objective: The main objective of the present investigation is to develop a sustained-release (SR) formulation to optimize the postprandial elevation of glucose level in type 2 Diabetic subjects using combination therapy. In the present research work, bilayer sustained release formulation of metformin hydrochloride (MFH) and gliclazide (GLZ), based on monolithic-matrix technology was developed and evaluated. Methods: The formulations of metformin hydrochloride layer and gliclazide layer that contain polyox WSR coagulant and different viscosity grades of hydroxyl propyl methylcellulose (HPMC) as sustained-release matrix were prepared by direct compression and wet granulation method respectively. The bilayer tablets were prepared after carrying out the optimization of metformin layer and evaluated for various pre-compression and post-compression parameters. For the best formulation selected on basis of in vitro evaluation of tablets, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) studies and comparison of in vitro dissolution profile of developed formulation with the innovator were performed. Results: Metformin hydrochloride and gliclazide showed sustained release of drug by diffusion mechanism and followed first-order kinetics. The best formulation of metformin hydrochloride (M7) and gliclazide (G8) show 99.93% and 99.65% of drug release in 24 h respectively. The similarity factor (f2) was 79.95 for metformin hydrochloride and 73.62 for gliclazide when compared with the innovator. Conclusion: The monolith diffusion-controlled bilayer tablets of metformin hydrochloride and gliclazide offer improved patient compliance and convenience with better postprandial hyperglycemic control with once-a-day dosing. The sustained release of the drug up to 24 h regulate antidiabetic activity round the clock with minimal side effects.

The objective of the present study was to compare the in vitro equivalence of different orally disintegrating tablets (ODT) of Desloratadine (DES) available in Bangladesh pharmaceutical market with the reference brand. The in vitro dissolution study was carried out using the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) paddle method and a comparative study were also carried out with the reference brand. Other pharmacopoeial and non-pharmacopoeial quality assessment parameters including hardness, friability, water absorption ratio, and disintegration time etc. were also evaluated. From the results of the dissolution profile of the commercially available products, it found majority of the products didn’t exhibited compendial requirements in dissolution behavior to the reference brand with model-independent approach ( f2 > 50, f1 < 15) and showed statistically significant differences. Additionally, the data of different physical quality parameters revealed that all commercial products complied with the official specifications. From these findings, it could be suggested that the DES-ODT formulations’ available in the Bangladesh market could be prescribed; however additional experiments might require to clarify the interchangeability among the products.

In-vitro biorelevant dissolution test method was developed for Dipyridamole in modified release multi-particulate dosage form, to simulate the product drug release after oral administration to human.  The Dipyridamole concentration in blood plasma achieved after oral administration under pre-prandial (fasting) condition were used for deriving the target dissolution profile deconvoluting the plasma concentration using numerical deconvolution technique. The fraction of drug absorbed was considered as the target dissolution profile. The drug product was tested by using the dissolution method recommended by office of generic drugs, and the dissolution results observed are not comparable with the target dissolution profile.  Dissolution method was developed using reciprocating cylinder, Bio-Dis (apparatus -3 as per USP), by simulating the pre-prandial conditions. A full factorial design of experiment was carried out to achieve the target dissolution profile. Media volume and dips per minute (DPM) are considered as main factors, in design of experiment. The dissolution results achieved with media volume 250ml and 10DPM were found to be comparable with target dissolution profile and observed with the F2 value (similarity factor) of 92%. The developed dissolution method demonstrates a very good in-vitro/in-vivo correlation under pre-prandial condition, and shall be used as a predictive in-vitro tool for evaluation Dipyridamole extended release capsules.

Objective: The aim of the research work was to explore the use of Cajanus cajan (Pigeon pea) polysaccharide as a superdisintegrant. The novel superdisintegrant has been evaluated for its action by incorporating it into orodispersible tablets of Metformin Hydrochloride. Methods: Cajanus cajan starch was extracted from its seeds and superdisintegrant was developed by microwave modification of the extract. Various characterization tests such as gelatinization temperature, water absorption index, pH, and viscosity were used to identify the microwave-modified polysaccharide. The orodispersible tablets were made using a direct compression process employing varying concentrations of modified Cajanus cajan starch. Prepared tablets were tested for several pre and post-compression parameters and compared with a well-established synthetic superdisintegrant, sodium starch glycolate. The stability studies were conducted on an optimized formulation. Results: Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy study showed that the drug had no interactions with the microwave-modified Cajanus cajan starch. SEM confirmed that Cajanus cajan starch granules exhibited intact granular structure in oval shapes and smooth surfaces. After microwave modification, the Cajanus cajan starch component lost its granular structure, which further led to the generation of surface pores and internal channels, causing overall swelling responsible for superdisintegrant activity. The optimized formulation (ODF5) containing 15 % modified Cajanus cajan starch performed better in terms of wetting time (22.21 s), disintegration time (53.3 s), and in vitro drug release (92%), as compared to formulation prepared by synthetic superdisintegrant (ODF1). Conclusion: The present investigation concluded that modified Cajanus cajan starch has good potential as a superdisintegrant for formulating oro-dispersible tablets. Furthermore, modified Cajanus cajan starch is inexpensive, non-toxic and compatible in comparison with available synthetic superdisintegrants.

Objective: The objective of the current research is systematic optimization and development of microemulsion preconcentrates to get better solubility that results in improvement of oral bioavailability profile of Telmisartan utilizing D-optimal mixture design. Methods: Solubility studies in a variety of lipidic ingredients and optimization of formulations were carried out for the development of liquid SMEDDS. D-optimal mixture design was utilized for assessing the interaction performance of desired responses (such as % cumulative drug release and globule size) and optimized using desirability approach. The optimized batch was evaluated for its % cumulative drug release and globule size performance for determining the dissolution rate and oral bioavailability of drug. Results: The optimized batch (F-8), which contained 10% oil (Capmul MCM EP), 45% surfactant (Labrasol) and 45% co-surfactant (Transcutol HP) resulted in desired qualities of measured responses with 84.6nm globule size and 98.5% drug release within 15 minutes. Optimized SMEDDS showed brilliant goodness of fit between drug release. Stability studies indicated stability of the optimized SMEDDS batch over 3-month storage at 40°C/75% RH and improved dissolution rate in contrast to pure API. The optimized SMEDDS showed no impact of in vitro lipolysis on drug release. Conclusion: Developed and optimized SMEDDS showed improved in vitro dissolution rate and dissolution profile in contrast to pure drug. These investigations further confirm dose reduction in SMEDDS by gaining an equivalent therapeutic profile with non-SMEDDS formulation. This research work successfully shows the potential usage of SMEDDS for delivery of BCS-II class drugs.

In this study, an attempt was made to assess quality as well as pharmaceutical equivalence of six brands of metformin hydrochloride tablets marketed in Addis Ababa using in vitro methods. Friability, disintegration, dissolution and assay for the content of active ingredients were evaluated using the methods described in the United States pharmacopeia (2007). All the brands of metformin hydrochloride tablets complied with the official specification for hardness, friability, disintegration and assay. Five brands of metformin hydrochloride complied with the USP dissolution tolerance limits but Metformin Denk failed to release the stated amount. Statistical comparison for in vitro drug release indicates that some of the products of metformin hydrochloride tablets showed significant difference (P<0.05), indicating difference in their in vitro drug release that might affect the in vivo bioavailability and the bioequivalence of the products.

Abstract Objective: Quality of pharmaceutical products is required to guarantee their safety and efficacy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the physicochemical quality attributes of different brands of ibuprofen tablets marketed in Mekelle, Ethiopia. The methods stated in the British Pharmacopeia were adopted for weight uniformity, hardness, friability, disintegration test and assay of drug content. Dissolution test was also carried out as stated in the United States Pharmacopeia. To compare dissolution profile, statistical analysis of drug release at different time points were employed. Results: All the brands were found with acceptable pharmacopeial specifications for weight uniformity, friability, hardness, assay of drug content and dissolution test. Six brands fulfilled the pharmacopeial requirements of disintegration test while one brand failed to disintegrate as per the BP specification. However, there were statistically significant difference in weight, hardness, disintegration, dissolution and amount of drug content among the tested samples. Thus, from this study we can conclude that all the products fulfilled the required quality evaluation parameters as stipulated in pharmacopeias except one brand which failed the disintegration test. However, the in vitro dissolution profile indicated that there may be a potential bio-in equivalence among the pharmaceutical products.
