Present research aimed at formulation development and characterization of the floating drug delivery system of Nizatidine, a H2-receptor antagonist, widely prescribed in gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers. Nizatidine loaded floating microspheres were developed by the solvent diffusion-evaporation method using polymers hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) to prolong the gastric retention time of the drug for the therapeutic management of gastric disorders like ulcers. Further, the developed formulations were characterized for percentage yield, drug entrapment, floating behavior, shape and surface morphology, in vitro drug release, determination of particle size and Zeta potential, in vitro stability studies, and antimicrobial activity. The percentage yield of the different formulation was found to be a range of 75.65– 81.25%, drug entrapment efficacies of different formulations were in the range of 65.56- 75.65% w/w, formulation F4 of floating microsphere was found to be 178.5 nm, Zeta potential of optimized formulation F4 of floating microsphere was found -33.6 Mv, Surface morphology of formulation examines at two different magnification 55X which illustrate the smooth surface of Microspheres. The in vitro drug release pattern of Nizatidine loaded optimized floating microsphere was subjected to the goodness of fit test by linear regression analysis, and it was observed that ‘r’ values of microsphere were maximum for zero-order, i.e., 0.969 hence indicating drug release from formulations follow zero-order kinetics with non-fickian diffusion mechanism which in turn prolonged drug release. The antimicrobial activity of the optimized formulation showed clear fluid with no development of turbidity. It inferred better clearance from infection than plain drug solution at the same doses. Floating microspheres of Nizatidine as gastro retentive dosage forms precisely control the release rate of Nizatidine to a peculiar site and expedite an immense impact on health care.

Objective: The objective of the present work was to conduct accelerated stability study as per international council for harmonisation (ICH) guidelines and to establish shelf life of controlled release dosage form of ropinirole hydrochloride and pramipexole dihydrochloride microspheres for a period of 6 mo.Methods: Most optimized batch of ropinirole hydrochloride and pramipexole dihydrochloride (F12 and M12 respectively) were selected and subjected to exhaustive stability testing by keeping the sample in stability oven for a period of 3 and 6 mo. Various parameters like surface morphology, particle size, drug content, in vitro drug release and shelf life were evaluated at 3 and 6 mo period. The surface morphology of the formulated microspheres was determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The particle size of the microspheres was estimated by optical microscopy method. The drug content was assayed by the help of ultra-violet spectrophotometer (UV). The in vitro drug release was performed by using Paddle II type dissolution apparatus and the filtrate was analyzed by UV spectrophotometer. The shelf life of the optimized microspheres was calculated by using the rate constant value of the zero-order reaction.Results: A minor change was recorded in average particle size of F12 and M12 microspheres after storage for 6 mo. For F12 and M12, initially the particle size was 130.00 µm and 128.92 µm respectively and after 6 mo it was found to be 130.92 µm and 128.99 µm respectively. There was no change in surface morphology of F12 and M12 microspheres after 6 mo of storage. The shape of microspheres remained spherical and smooth after 6 mo. An insignificant difference of drug content was recorded after 6 mo compared to the freshly prepared formulation. For F12 and M12, 94.50% and 93.77% of the drug was present initially and after 6 mo 94.45% and 93.72% of the drug was recorded. In vitro drug release was recorded after 6 mo for F12 and M12. Initially, 97.99% and 97.69% of the drug was released till 14th hour respectively for F12 and M12. After 6 mo, 98.23% and 97.99% of the drug was released respectively. The percentage residual drug content revealed that the degradation of microspheres was low. Considering the initial percentage residual drug content as 100%, 99.94% of the drug was recorded for both F12 and M12. The shelf life for F12 and M12 was found to be 10 y 52 d and 10 y 70 d respectively which were determined by the zero-order kinetic equation.Conclusion: A more or less similar surface morphology, particle size, drug content and percent of drug release before and after stability study confirmed the stability of F12 and M12 microspheres after storage for 6 mo and prove the efficacy of the microspheres in the site-specific delivery of drugs in Parkinson’s disease.

In the current investigations, mouth dissolving tablets (MDT) were developed by applying quality by design (QbD) approach. Direct compression method was applied for the preparation of MDT containing aspirin using 32 factorial design with quantity of drug, microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and crosscarmellose sodium (CCS) as dependant variables. MCC and CCS were used as superdisintegrants. Sodium stearyl fumarate was used as lubricant. Developed MDT were evaluated for characteristics like hardness, friability, disintegration time (DT) and in vitro drug release . Design Expert 11.0 described adequately impact of selected variables (MCC and CCS) at various levels for response under study (DT and friability). The optimized batch showed disintegration time of 15-28 secs, friability within 1% and in vitro drug release of 75-98% after 30 mins, respectively. The present study of experimental design revealed that MCC and CCS are fruitful at low concentration to develop the optimized formulation. As per the results obtained from the experiments, it can be concluded that QbD is an effective and efficient approach for the development of quality into MDT with the application of QTPP, risk assessment and critical quality attributes (CQA).

The purpose of the present study was to develop and optimize the emulgel system for Luliconazole using different types of gelling agents: HPMCK15M, Carbopol 940, and Xanthan Gum. The prepared emulgels were evaluated in terms of appearance, pH, spreadability, viscosity, drug content, and in-vitro drug release. In-vitro release study demonstrated diffusion-controlled release of Luliconazole from formulation up to 12 hours. The drug release profile exhibited zero-order kinetics. All the prepared emulgels showed acceptable physical properties concerning color, homogeneity, consistency, spreadability, and higher drug release. In the case of all evaluation parameters, carbopol based formulation showed better properties so, as a general conclusion, it was suggested that the Luliconazole emulgel formulation prepared with carbopol (F6) was the formula of choice.
