The aim of the present study was to investigate the release kinetics of theophylline from permeableacrylic polymer matrix tablets. Matrix tablets were prepared by direct compression method using Eudragit RS PO andEudragit RL PO. Two batches of matrix tablets were prepared. Only Eudragit RS PO was used in the first batch, andin the second batch both Eudragit RS PO and Eudragit RL PO were used as the rate retarding polymers in differentproportions. The variation of hardness was insignificant in batches. Drug release was investigated by using USPbasket method and the results of release rates were analyzed by using correlation coefficient value of Zero orderrelease plot & Higuchi plot and exponent value of Bi-exponential release profile. Theophylline tablets having onlyEudragit RS PO showed comparatively slow release but release rate improved significantly as seen in formulationscontaining Eudragit RL PO and Eudragit RS PO. It was also revealed that, in all cases the release of theophyllinefollowed mixed release kinetics where Zero order release kinetics was predominant.Key words: Sustained release; matrix tablet; theophylline; acrylic polymers; eudragit; release rate; dissolution;hardness.DOI: 10.3329/dujps.v8i1.5328Dhaka Univ.

In the present study Ciprofloxacin HCl sustained release matrix tablet was prepared by utilizing different grades of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) polymers such as Methocel K4M CR, Methocel K4M Premium & Methocel K15M CR by direct compression method. Different amount of Methocel K15M CR was used to develop matrix builder in the three proposed formulations (F1-F3) for the study of release rate retardant effect at 5%, 6%, and 7% of total weight of tablet matrix respectively. The dissolution study of Methocel K15M CR based tablet matrices of those proposed formulations were carried out in the simulated gastric medium (pH 1.3) for 8 hours using USP dissolution apparatus II. Similarly Methocel K4M premium was used to develop matrix builder in another three proposed formulations (F4-F6). It was found that formulations F-4 (15%), F-5 (17%) and F-6 (18.3%) met the desired release rate of Ciprofloxacin HCl for 8hrs period. The release kinetics of formulation F-4, F-5 and F-6 followed Higuchi kinetic order. Again Methocel K4M premium was used for another three proposed formulations (F7-F9). It was found that formulations F-7 (6.7%), F-8 (12.3%) and F-9 (15.6%) met the desired release rate of Ciprofloxacin HCl for 8hrs period. The release kinetics of formulation F-7, F-8 and F-9 followed Higuchi kinetic order. Among these three polymers, Methocel K4M Premium showed better release retardant effect than Methocel K4M CR and Methocel K15M CR.

Present work focused on thiolation for enhancing the mucoadhesive potential of Gum kondagogu (GK). Thiolation of GK was done by esterification process with 80 % thioglycolic acid in presence of 7N HCl. Thiolated Gum kondagogu (ThioGK) was determined to possess 1.59 ±0.04 mmol of thiol groups/g of the polymer by Ellman’s method. ThioGK was characterized by FTIR, NMR, DSC, XRD, and FE-SEM. The tablets were prepared by direct compression using 75 mg of ThioGK and GK. Tablets containing ThioGK (F1) and GK (F2) were subjected to evaluation of weight variation, hardness and friability and show enhanced disintegration time, swelling behavior, drug release and mucoadhesion. In vitro drug release of batch F1 exhibits complete release of drug in 24 hr with zero order release kinetics. Comparative mucoadhesive strength was studied using chicken ileum by texture analyzer and revealed higher mucoadhesion of tablet containing ThioGK. From the above study, ThioGK was suitability exploited as mucoadhesive sustained release matrix tablet.

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 major goal of this study was to develop and evaluate Sustained release matrix tablets of Gabapentin with Hibiscus rosa - sinensis leaves mucilage prepared by using wet granulation technique with microcrystalline cellulose as a diluents and magnesium stearate as a lubricant. Pre-compression and post-compression evaluation of physicochemical parameters were carried out and to be within acceptable limits. Drug and polymer compatibility were validated by FTIR measurements. Further, tablets were evaluated for in vitro release study. To get the sustained release of Gabapentin, the concentration of Hibiscus rosa- sinensis mucilage was tuned with a gas-generating agent. The % drug release of all formulation from F1 to F5 showed 91.24%, 80.24%, 70.53%, 62.12% and 49.83% respectively. All the dosage form release kinetics was computed using zero order, first order, Higuchi, and Korsmeyer–Peppas methods. From the above results, it is concluded that the n value of formulation F5 showed 0.78 suggesting anomalous (non-fickian) behavior of the drug. Mucilage from the leaves of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis has a great retarding effect in drug release from sustained release tablets.

The objective of this study was to develop a sustained release matrix tablet of aceclofenac usinghydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC K15M and HPMC K100M CR) in various proportions as release controllingfactor by direct compression method. The powders for tableting were evaluated for angle of repose, loose bulkdensity, tapped bulk density, compressibility index, total porosity and drug content etc. The tablets were subjected tothickness, weight variation test, drug content, hardness, friability and in vitro release studies. The in vitro dissolutionstudy was carried out for 24 hours using United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) 22 paddle-type dissolution apparatus inphosphate buffer (pH 7.4). The granules showed satisfactory flow properties, compressibility index and drug contentetc. All the tablets complied with pharmacopoeial specifications. The results of dissolution studies indicated that theformulations F-2 and F-3 could extend the drug release up to 24 hours. By comparing the dissolution profiles with themarketed product, it revealed that the formulations exhibited similar drug release profile. From this study, a decreasein release kinetics of the drug was observed when the polymer concentration was increased. Kinetic modeling of invitro dissolution profiles revealed the drug release mechanism ranges from diffusion controlled or Fickian transport toanomalous type or non-Fickian transport, which was only dependent on the type and amount of polymer used. Thedrug release followed both diffusion and erosion mechanism in all cases. The drug release from these formulationswas satisfactory after 3 months storage in 40°C and 75% RH. Besides, this study explored the optimum concentrationand effect of polymer(s) on acelofenac release pattern from the tablet matrix for 24 hour period.Key words: Aceclofenac; sustained release; hydrophillic matrix; HPMC; direct compression.DOI: 10.3329/dujps.v8i1.5332Dhaka Univ.

The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of different polymers on the release profile and bio-adhesive strength of a water soluble drug, ciprofloxacin HCl from different percentages of Eudragit RS PO and Kollidon SR based co-matrix tablets. Matrix formulations were prepared by direct compression method. The bioadhesive property was investigated in terms of retention time following in vitro wash-off method. The concentrations of polymers were varied to investigate whether these variations can cause any change in release of ciprofloxacin HCl molecule and bio-adhesion property or not. In most of the cases it is found that Eudragit RS PO based co-matrix tablets release greater percentage of active drug and that bio-adhesive strength of Kollidon SR and xanthan gum based co-matrix tablets were significantly better. Finally it was revealed that xanthan gum provided optimum bioadhesion functioning as a synergist in co-matrices and comply the USP specification as a most suitable controlled release polymer.

The present study deals with the formulation and evaluation of Fexofenadine hydrochloride (HCl) loaded sustained release microspheres by emulsion solvent evaporation method with Eudragit RL 100. The effects of percent drug loading on drug encapsulation efficiency, drug content and drug release rate were assessed. In vitro dissolution study was performed spectrophotometrically according to USP paddle method using phosphate buffer (pH 6.8) for 10 hours. The release rate of Fexofenadine HCl from the microspheres was significantly increased with the increase of drug loading. The drug release patterns were simulated in different kinetic orders such as zero order release kinetics, first order release kinetics, Higuchi release kinetics, Korsmeyer-Peppas release kinetics and Hixson-Crowell release kinetics to assess the release mechanism and Higuchi release kinetics was found to be the predominant release mechanism. Morphological changes due to different drug loading were assessed by scanning electron microscopic (SEM) technique. Differential scanning calorimetry and fourier transform infra-red (FT-IR) spectroscopy was performed to evaluate compatibility of drug with the polymer. A statistically significant variation indrug encapsulation efficiency and release rate was observed for variation in drug loading.Bangladesh Pharmaceutical Journal 19(1): 58-67, 2016

Controlled release tablet matrix of theophylline was prepared with kollidon SR, a spray dried powder grade polymer (polyvinyl acetate and povidone based matrix rate retarding hydrophobic materials) by utilizing direct compression technique. Different proportion of kollidon SR was used to develop the matrix builder in the five proposed formulations (F-1 to F-5) for the study of release rate retardant effect at 10, 12, 15, 18 and 21% of total weight of matrix tablet, respectively. The in vitro dissolution study of the matrices of those proposed tablet formulations were carried out in simulated gastric medium (pH 1.3) for first two hours and then in simulated intestinal medium (pH 6.8) for 6 hours using USP dissolution apparatus II (paddle method). The formulation F-3 (using 15% polymer) and F-4 (using 18 % polymer) met the optimum release profiles of active ingredient for 8 hr period of total study. The release kinetics for theophylline was plotted against zero order, first order and Higuchi release rate kinetics to evaluate the release mechanism of drug from the formulated tablet matrix. The release kinetics of formulation F-3 and F-4 was followed very closely by Higuchi release rate kinetic order than other kinetics such as zero order and first order kinetics which has been reflected the type of drug release from the tablet matrix by diffusion as well as erosion mechanism.Dhaka Univ.
