The present study was undertaken to develop sustained release (SR) matrix tablets of losartan potassium, an angiotensin-II antagonist for the treatment of hypertension. The tablets were prepared by direct compression method, along with Kollidon SR as release retardant polymer. The amount of losartan potassium remains fixed (100 mg) for all the three formulations whereas the amounts of Kollidon SR were 250 mg, 225 mg, and 200 mg for F-1, F-2, and F-3 respectively. The evaluation involves three stages: the micromeritic properties evaluation of granules, physical property studies of tablets, and in-vitro release kinetics studies. The USP apparatus type II was selected to perform the dissolution test, and the dissolution medium was 900 mL phosphate buffer pH 6.8. The test was carried out at 75 rpm, and the temperature was maintained at 37 ºC ± 0.5 ºC. The release kinetics was analyzed using several kinetics models. Higher polymeric content in the matrix decreased the release rate of drug. At lower polymeric level, the rate and extent of drug release were enhanced. All the formulations followed Higuchi release kinetics where the Regression co-efficient (R²) values are 0.958, 0.944, and 0.920 for F-1, F-2, and F-3 respectively, and they exhibited diffusion dominated drug release. Statistically significant (P<0.05) differences were found among the drug release profile from different level of polymeric matrices. The release mechanism changed from non-fickian (n=0.489 for F-1) to fickian (n=0.439 and 0.429 for F-2, and F-3 respectively) as a function of decreasing the polymer concentration. The Mean Dissolution Time (MDT) values were increased with the increase in polymer concentration.

The objective of the present study was to develop once-daily sustained-release matrix tablets of naproxen, one of the most potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents used in the treatment of arthritic pain. The tablets were prepared by direct compression method using hydrophilic matrix materials like Methocel® K4M CR and Methocel® K15M CR. The tablets were subjected to measurement of thickness, diameter, weight variation, drug content, hardness and friability, the results of which were within compendial specification range. In vitro release studies were carried out by the USP basket method and were carried out at pH 7.4 buffer for ten hours. The results of dissolution studies indicated that higher polymer content in the matrix (40%) decreased the release rate of the drug as shown in formulation NMK4MF6 and NMK15MF6 (where lactose content is zero). The most successful formulations of the study, exhibited satisfactory drug release which was very close to the theoretical release profile. All the formulations exhibited diffusion-dominated drug release. Key words: Naproxen; Methocel® K4M CR; Methocel® K15M CR; Sustained release; Matrix tablets DOI: 10.3329/dujps.v9i1.7429 Dhaka Univ.

The overall objective of the present work was to develop an oral sustained-release (SR) Metformin tablet that is prepared by the direct compression method by using hydrophilic hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) and Guar gum polymer alone as well as in combination at different concentrations. Metformin is a biguanide that has a relatively short plasma half-life. It has low absolute bioavailability. All the properties were evaluated for thickness, weight variation, hardness and drug content uniformity and in vitro drug release. The mean dissolution time is used to characterize the drug release rate from a dosage form that indicates the drug release-retarding efficiency of the polymer. The hydrophilic matrix of HPMC alone could not control the Metformin release effectively for 12 h but when combined with Guar gum, it could slow down the release of drug and, thus, can be successfully employed for formulating Sustain Release matrix tablets. Keywords: Guar gum, hydroxylpropylmethylcellulose, matrix tablets, release kinetics,

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 purpose of present study was to formulate and evaluate glimepiride gastrobioadhesive drug delivery using Aegle Marmelos polysaccharide and synthetic polymer for prolongation of gastric residence time and reduce the dosing frequency. Glimepiride matrices were prepared by direct compression method and evaluated with an aim of presenting glimepiride as sustained release for improving the patient’s compliance. A central composite design (CCD) was employed as Aegle Marmelos polysaccharide (X1) and HPMC K4M (X2) independent variables to optimize the glimepiride in terms of sustained release and gastrobioadhesive. The response (Y1) as bioadhesive strength, (Y2) percentage drug releases at 8 h and (Y3) time (t50) required to 50% drug release were measured for each trial and statistical equations with significant interaction terms were derived to predict relation. The physical properties of all formulations hardness, friability, drug content and weight variation were found within limits indicating that the prepared matrix tablets met the USP specifications. Among all the formulations, F1 formulation found to be optimized based on the criteria of attaining the maximum value of drug released Q8 of 98.58±1.12%, 18.43 g bioadhesive strength and time to 50% drug release (t50) of 6 h. An in-vitro drug release studies reveals that as concentrations of polymers increases the drug release decreases, producing sustained release of glimepiride. The release co-efficient values ‘n’ (˂0.3645) indicated that the drug release (F1) followed fickian diffusion mechanism kinetics. A glimepiride gastroadhesive matrix was developed to enhance its bioavailability by prolonging the gastric residence time with desirable release modulation for a once daily administration.

Objective: The purpose of present study was to formulate oral sustained release matrix tablet of metoclopramide hydrochloride and to evaluate the effect of varying concentrations of hydrophobic and hydrophilic polymers on drug release. Methods: Drug–excipients compatibility studies were carried out by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The matrix tablets were prepared by direct compression technique using Xanthan gum and ethyl cellulose alone and in combination as release retardant. Dicalcium phosphate was used as diluent. The prepared matrix tablets were evaluated for their physicochemical parameters such as weight variation, hardness, friability, content uniformity and in vitro drug release studies were performed using USP-type II (paddle) dissolution apparatus. Results: Pre and post compression parameters were evaluated and all the parameters were found within the limit. The matrix tablets prepared with xanthan gum and combination of xanthan gum and ethyl cellulose were retarded the drug release upto 12 h. Ethyl cellulose alone could not control the drug release for 12 h. The Formulation with drug to xanthan gum (1:1.5), released 97.62 % of drug in 12 h. The kinetic treatment showed that the release of drug follows zero order kinetics (R 2=0.985). Korsmeyer and Peppas equation values of n were found to be in the range of 0.40-0.56, indicating that the drug release mechanism was diffusion. Conclusion: Matrix tablet is the simple, efficient and economic method to sustain the release of metoclopramide to prevent extrapyramidal side effects.

Ranitidine HCl, a selective, competitive histamine H2-receptor antagonist with a short biological half-life, low bioavailability and narrow absorption window, is an ideal candidate for gastro-retentive drug delivery system (GRDDS). Controlled release with an optimum retentive formulation in the upper stomach would be an ideal formulation for this drug. The aim of the present study was therefore to develop, formulate and optimize floating, bioadhesive, and swellable matrix tablets of ranitidine HCl. The matrix tablets were prepared using a combination of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (NaCMC) as release retarding polymers, sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) as gas generating agent and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) as direct compression diluent. Central composite design (CCD) was used to optimize the formulation and a total of thirteen formulations were prepared. Concentration of HPMC/NaCMC (3:1) (X1) and NaHCO3 (X2) were selected as independent variables; and floating lag time (Y1), bioadhesive strength (Y2), swelling index at 12 h (Y3), cumulative drug release at 1 h (Y4), time to 50% drug release (t50%) (Y5) and cumulative drug release at 12 h (Y6) were taken as the response variables. The optimized batch showed floating lag time of 5.09 sec, bioadhesive strength of 29.69 g, swelling index of 315.04% at 12 h, t50% of 3.86 h and drug release of 24.21% and 93.65% at 1h and 12 h, respectively, with anomalous release mechanism. The results indicate that sustained release matrix tablet of ranitidine HCl with combined floating, bioadhesive and swelling gastro-retentive properties can be considered as a strategy to overcome the low bioavailability and in vivo variation associated with the conventional ranitidine HCl tablet.

The galactomannan from endosperm of G. sinensis seeds was used as sustained release material in the matrix tablets prepared at different concentration of 5, 10 and 15 % corresponding to formulations of G5, G10 and G15, for the release of theophylline. The drug release behaviors of the systems were investigated, including the swelling and morphological studies and texture analysis. The dissolution tests were conducted in 0.1 M hydrochloric acid and pH 6.8 phosphate buffered saline. The results of release studies demonstrated that G10 with 10 % galactomannan concentration showed a better control of the drug release profiles. The percents of cumulative drug released in 24 h were 98.8, 90.2 and 83.4 % for G5, G10 and G15, respectively. All the systems exhibited the typical morphological behavior of a swellable matrix. Results of texture analysis on the swollen tablets confirmed that diffusion drug release mechanism played the major role in G10 and G15 systems while the drug delivery kinetic towards an erosion/relaxation mechanism for G5 matrix tablets.
