The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of Ammonio Methacrylate Copolymer Dispersion Type A (Eudragit RL 30 D) and Ammonio Methacrylate Copolymer Dispersion Type B (Eudragit RS 30 D) combination in different weight ratios on the release kinetics of Ambroxol Hydrochloride from coated pellets. Microcrystalline cellulose, lactose, maize starch, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and the drug was incorporated in the nuclei prepared by Extrusion-Spheronization technique which was coated with Eudragit RL 30D and Eudragit RS 30D in 1:1,1:1.5,1:2,1:2.5 and 1:3 ratios. The in vitro dissolution studies were carried out in 0.1N HCl for 1 hour followed by phosphate buffer (pH 6.8) for 11 h with USP dissolution apparatus Type-II. Drug release decreased with increasing amount of Eudragit RS 30 D in all cases. The drug release followed first order and Higuchi release kinetics. The Korsmeyer plot revealed n=0.50-0.61 or non-Fickian transport mechanism for drug release. From one way ANOVA it was found that the ratio of binary polymer mixer had significant (p < 0.05) effect on drug release.

The effects of Ammonio Methacrylate copolymer dispersion (Eudragit® NE 30 D) and Polyvinyl Acetate dispersion (Kollicoat® SR 30 D) are compared on the in vitro release of Ambroxol Hydrochloride from coated pellets in the current study. The nuclei pellets were manufactured by Extrusion-Spheronization with the drug, microcrystalline cellulose, lactose, maize starch, and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose followed by fluid bed coating. Dissolution study of coated pellets was performed with USP Type-II apparatus in acidic (0.1N HCl for 1 h) and buffer (phosphate buffer, pH 6.8 for 11 h) media to simulate gastrointestinal environment. The release profile of drug from two types of polymers were distinct and drug release was sustained longer by Polyvinyl Acetate film than Acrylate polymer.

The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of Ammonio Methacrylate Copolymer Type B (Eudragit RS 30 D) on the release kinetics study of diclofenac sodium form coated pellets. The effect of the incorporation of xanthan gum into the coating formulation was also the goal of this study. Eudragit RS 30 D and xanthan gum was added into the formulation at 5:1 ratio. Different percent of this polymeric combination was loaded on to the drug-loaded pellets. It was found that the cumulative % release of drug decreased with the increase of polymer load in all cases. From all formulations it was observed that the release of diclofenac sodium in 0.1N HCl media was very low (maximum 3.5%) at first 2 hours. Better sustaining effect was found from Eudragit RS 30 D and xanthan gum combinations. Drug was released linearly along with time throughout the whole dissolution process in phosphate buffer (pH 6.8) and it was also revealed that, in all cases the release of diclofenac sodium followed mixed release kinetics but zero order release kinetics predominates.

Commercially available four national and four international brands of esomeprazole magnesium sustained release matrix tablets were studied in simulated gastric medium (pH 1.2) for 2 hours and simulated intestinal medium (pH 6.8) for 8 hours time period using USP reference dissolution apparatus. All the national and international brands complied with the USP in-vitro dissolution specifications for drug release in simulated gastric medium. However, one of the national brands (Code: MP-1) and one of the international brands (MP-7) failed to fulfill the official requirement of 80% drug release within 8th hour in simulated intestinal medium. Drug release of that national and international brand were 70.49% and 67.05% respectively within the specified time period, however one national brand (Code: MP-4) released 103.46 % drug within 8th hour in intestinal medium. Drug release profiles were analyzed for zero order, first order and Higuchi equation to reveal the release kinetics perspective of esomeprazole magnesium sustained release matrix tablets. It was found that zero order release kinetics was the predominant release mechanism than first order and Higuchi release kinetics for those brands (Code: MP-2, MP-3, MP-4, MP-5, MP-6 and MP-8) which complied with the USP in vitro dissolution specification for drug releases. On the other hand, first order release kinetics was predominant for one national and also one international non compliant brands (Code: MP-1 and MP-6).

Objective: The aim of the study was to develop a floating drug delivery system of levofloxacin (LVF) hemihydrate for sustained drug delivery to improve the extended retention in the stomach, oral bioavailability, and local site-specific action in the stomach. Methods: Preparation of LVF tablets using melt granulation method using hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) K4M with sodium bicarbonate as gas generating agent. From LFTA1 to LFTA5, formulations were developed and evaluated for floating properties for swelling characteristics and in vitro drug release studies. In vitro dissolution was carried out using USP II paddle method using 0.1N HCI pH buffer at 50 rpm and samples were measured at 294 nm using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. Results: Obtained Fourier-transform infrared charts indicated that there is no positive evidence for the interaction between LVF and ingredients of the optimized formula. In vitro drug release was performed and drug release kinetics were evaluated using the linear regression method and were found to be followed the zero-order release by diffusion controlled release. Optimized formula was found to be LFTA4 with 20% of a polymer with 99.03% of drug release with 12 h of floating time and 32 s floating lag time. Conclusion: Matrix tablets (LFTA4) formulated employing 20% HPMC K4M are best suited to be used for gastroretentive dosage form of LVF.

Objective: The aim of the present work was to prepare and examine drug release of the oral controlled release microbeads using different curing agents by emulsification internal ionic gelation technique. Methods: Cross-linked alginate microbeads were prepared with different cross linking agents by using mucoadhesive properties. The formation and compatibility of microbeads were confirmed by compatibility studies. Prepared microbeads evaluated for encapsulated efficiency, micromeritic properties, drug loading, in vitro wash off studies, in vitro dissolution studies, drug release kinetics and stability studies Results: The in vitro drug release was influenced by both type of curing agents and type of polymers and no significant changes in characterization parameters was observed after 3 mo stability studies. The sustained release profile of optimized batch was found to be 99.66±0.18% in comparison to pure drug profile of 28.64±0.02% at 12 h release study. Results of both wash-off and in vitro studies suggests that batch (SF2) prepared with aluminium chloride has shown better mucoadhesive property. Drug release of optimized batch follows zero order with non fickian mechanism according to Korsmeyer-Peppas equation. Conclusion: The data suggest the use of simvastatin mucoadhesive cross linked microbeads to offer the potential for oral controlled drug delivery with improved gastric retention and capable to provide sustained drug release by using cross linking agents.

Sustained release formulations of metoclopramide HCl (4-amino-5-chloro-N-(2-diethylaminoethyl)-2- methoxybenzamide hydrochloride) (MH) were prepared using carnauba wax (CW) and stearic acid (SA) as matrix formers. Granules were prepared by melt granulation method while direct compression technique was used to prepare the tablets. The drug release profiles of these products were studied by in-vitro dissolution testing in simulated gastric, gastrointestinal and intestinal media of pH 1.2, 4.5 and 7.5, respectively. The increase in the proportion of SA in the granules produced a concomitant decrease of the initial drug release rate but later on the release rate was enhanced in the intestinal medium. Drug release was found to be affected by compression force and stirring rate but also showed a dependency on pH of the dissolution fluid. The fastest release rate was found at pH 4.5 and the slowest at pH 1.2 which was consistent with the drug’s solubility behavior. Matrix erosion and water uptake rates were highest in the intestinal medium and lowest in the gastric medium. The drug release kinetics followed the Higuchi’s model in all cases.

AbstractClarithromycin (CM), a broad spectrum macrolide antibiotic used to eradicate H. pylori in peptic ulcer. Clarithromycin (CM) is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, but has a bioavailability of 50% due to rapid biodegradation. The aim of this investigation was to increase the gastric residence time, and to control the drug release of clarithromycin by formulating into multiple unit floating mini-tablets. Floating tablets were prepared by using direct compression method with HPMC K4M and Polyox WSR 1105 as release retarded polymers and sodium bicarbonate as gas generating agent. The prepared mini-tablets were evaluated for thickness, weight variation, friability, hardness, drug content, in vitro buoyancy, swelling studies, in vitro dissolution studies by using modified Rossett-Rice test and in vivo radiographic studies in healthy human volunteers in fasting conditions. DSC analysis revealed that no interaction between drug and excipients. All the physical parameters of the tablets were within the acceptable limits. The optimized formulation (F6) had showed controlled drug release of 99.16±3.22% in 12 h, by zero-order release kinetics, along with floating lag time of 9.5±1.28 s and total floating time of 12±0.14 h. X-ray imaging studies revealed that in vivo gastric residence time of clarithromycin floating mini-tablet in the stomach was about 3.5 h. The results demonstrated that the developed floating mini-tablets of clarithromycin caused significant enhancement in gastric retention time along with sustained effect and increased oral bioavailability.

The objective of the present study was to develop a once-daily sustained release matrix tablet of Aceclofenac using hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (Methocel K 100M CR) as release controlling factor and to  evaluate drug release parameters as per various release kinetic models. The tablets were prepared by direct  compression method. The powder blends were evaluated for angle of repose, loose bulk density, tapped bulk density,  compressibility index, total porosity and drug content etc. The tablets were subjected to thickness, weight variation test, drug content, hardness, friability and in vitro release studies. The in vitro dissolution study was carried out for 24  hours using United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) 22 paddle-type dissolution apparatus in phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). The powder blends showed satisfactory flow properties, compressibility index and drug content etc. All the tablet formulations showed acceptable pharmacotechnical properties and complied with pharmacopoeial specifications. The results of dissolution studies indicated that the formulation F-3 (40% Methocel K100M CR of total weight of tablet) could extend the drug release up to 24 hours and the total release pattern was very close to the theoretical release profile. By comparing the dissolution profiles with the originator brand of Arrestin SR, the formulation F-3 exhibited drug release profile like originator brand. From this study, a decrease in release kinetics of the drug was observed by  increasing the polymer concentration. Kinetic modeling of in vitro dissolution profiles revealed the drug release mechanism ranges from diffusion controlled or Fickian transport to anomalous type or non-Fickian transport, which  was only dependent on the type and amount of polymer used. The drug release followed both diffusion and erosion  mechanism in all cases. The drug release from the formulation (F-3) was satisfactory after 3 months storage in 400C  and 75% RH. Besides, this study explored both of the optimum concentration and effect of polymer(s) on  Aceclofenac release pattern from the tablet matrix for 24 hour period. The matrix tablet of Aceclofenac using HPMC  with molecular weight of K100M controlled the drug release effectively for 24 hours; hence the formulation can be  considered as a once daily sustained release tablet of Aceclofenac in order to improve patient compliance.
