Nanoparticles represent a promising drug delivery system of controlled and targeted drug release. They are specially designed to release the drug in the vicinity of target tissue. The aim of this study was to prepare and evaluate polymethacrylic acid nanoparticles containing stavudine in different drug to polymer ratio by nanoprecipitation method to be 121 + 8 to 403 + 4 nm. The particle size of the nanoparticles was gradually increased with increase in the proportion of polymethacrylic acid polymer. The drug content of the nanoparticles was increasing on increasing polymer concentration up to a particular concentration. No appreciable difference was observed in the extent of degradation of product during 60 days in which, nanoparticles were stored at various temperatures. FT-IR studies indicated that there was no chemical interaction between drug and polymer and stability of drug. The in-vitro release behavior from all the drug loaded batches was found to be zero order and provided sustained release over a period of 24 h. The developed formulation overcome and alleviates the drawbacks and limitations of stavudine sustained release formulations and could possibility be advantageous in terms of increased bioavailability of stavudine.

Administration of an antiviral drug, acyclovir via the oral route leads to low and variable bioavailability (15-30%). Therefore, this research work was aimed to enhance bioavailability of acyclovir by nanocrystallization technique. The drug nanocrystals were prepared by anti-solvent precipitation method in which different stabilizers were used. The formed nanocrystals are subjected to biopharmaceutical characterization including solubility, particle size and in-vitro release. SEM studies showed nano-crystals were crystalline nature with sharp peaks. The formulated drug nanocrystals were found to be in the range of 600-900nm and formulations NC7 and NC8 showed marked improvement in dissolution velocity when compared to pure drug, thus providing greater bioavailability. FT-IR and DSC studies revealed the absence of any chemical interaction between drug and polymers used.

The purpose of this research study was to establish ziprasidone HCl NR 40 mg and trihexyphenidyl HCl SR 4mg in the form of bi-layer sustained release floating tablets. The tablets were prepared using sodium HPMC K4M / HPMC K15M as bio-adhesive polymers and sodium bicarbonate acting as a floating layer. Tablets were evaluated based on different parameters such as thickness, hardness, friability, weight variation, in vitro dissolution studies, content of active ingredient and IR studies. The physico-chemical properties of the finished product complied with the specifications. In vitro release from the formulation was studied as per the USP XXIII dissolution procedure. The formulations gave a normal release effect followed by sustained release for 12 h which indicates bimodal release of ziprasidone HCl from the matrix tablets. The data obtained was fitted to Peppas models. Analysis of n values of the Korsmeyer equation indicated that the drug release involved non-diffusional mechanisms. By the present study, it can be concluded that bi-layer tablets of ziprasidone HCl and trihexyphenidyl HCl will be a useful strategy for extending the metabolism and improving the bioavailability of Ziprasidone HCl and Trihexyphenidyl HCl.

The main aim of the present work was to formulate and evaluate sustained release multiparticulate gastroretentive delivery system of cinnarizine. The microspheres were prepared by solvent evaporation method by using Eudragit RS 100 as a polymer in varying ratios. The prepared microspheres were evaluated for drug – polymer compatibility studies, micromeritic properties, drug entrapment efficiency, in vitro buoyancy and drug release studies. The mean particle size increased with increase in polymer concentration, ranging between 60.33 μm to 144.88 μm. FT IR studies showed that the drug and polymer were compatible with each other. The entrapment efficiency decreased with increase in the polymer concentration with values of 50%, 33.3% and 25% respectively. The microspheres floated upto 9 h over the surface of the gastric buffer medium and the buoyancy percentage was found to be in the range of 64.3 – 76.2%. In vitro drug release studies showed that the prepared microspheres exhibited prolonged drug release upto 62.89% for more than 9 h. The mechanism of drug release was found to be a combination of both peppas and matrix kinetics. Thus the developed floating microspheres of cinnarizine may be used as sustained drug delivery system for increasing the therapeutic efficacy with an improved patient compliance.

In the present study, an amphiphilic chitosan-polylactide (CS-PLA) graft copolymer was synthesized through grafting polylactide (PLA) onto water-soluble chitosan (CS), and the chemical structure of this newly developed copolymer was confirmed by FT-IR, 1H NMR and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Stable flusilazole-loaded nanoparticles (NS), with a size near 280.3 nm and a loading content (LC) of 29.0%, were prepared for the fungicide delivery using a nanoprecipitation method. Moreover, size, size distribution and the flusilazole LC as well as the in vitro release profile of flusilazole-loaded NS were investigated. In conclusion, the NS could provide a controlled release of flusilazole and enhance the penetration of flusilazole in the plant compared with classical flusilazole emulsifiable concentrate (EC) formulation due to their small particle size. Therefore, the CS-PLA NS could be used as fungicide carriers for the flusilazole delivery system.

A gastroretentive sustained release system of itopride hydrochloride was formulated to increase the gastric residence time and modulate its release behavior. Itopride hydrochloride is a prokinetic drug used in the treatment of gastroeosophageal reflux disease, Non-ulcer dyspepsia and as an antiemetic. Hence, itopride hydrochloride beads were prepared by emulsion gelation method by employing low methoxy pectin and sodium alginate as sustained release polymers in three different ratios alone and in combination and sunflower oil was used to enable floating property to the beads. The effect of variation in polymer and their concentration was investigated. The beads were evaluated for production yield, particle size, swelling index, density measurement, buoyancy, drug content, drug entrapment efficiency, in vitro release characteristics and release kinetic study. Based on drug entrapment efficiency, buoyancy, swelling and in vitro release, F9 was selected as the optimized formulation. F9 was further subjected to surface morphology by SEM, in vitro release comparison with marketed formulation, in vivo floating study in rabbits and stability study for 90 days. In vitro release follows zero order and fitted in Korsmeyer peppas model (Non-Fickian release). Therefore, the rate of drug release is due to the combined effect of drug diffusion and polymer swelling. The in vivo X-ray studies revealed that the beads were floating in the rabbit stomach up to 10 hours. Thus, it was concluded that the sustained release formulation containing itopride hydrochloride was found to improve patient compliance, minimize the side effects and decrease the frequency of administration.
