The objective of this work is to find out brand-to-brand variation by applying profile comparison approaches to the dissolution data of marketed aceclofenac tablet formulations. Commercially available five brands of aceclofenac tablets were studied in simulated intestinal medium (pH 6.8) for 60 minutes time period using USP reference dissolution apparatus. Four samples complied with the USP in vitro dissolution specifications for drug release (not less than 80% of the labeled amount of Aceclofenac should be dissolved in 60 minutes). One brand (Code: S1) failed to meet the criteria; drug release was 66.85% within the specified time period. Key words: Bangladesh; In vitro dissolution; market preparations; aceclofenac; tablet.

The purpose of the study was to evaluate cassia roxburghii seed gum powder as binder for paracetamol and diclofenac sodium. Granules of both drugs were prepared by wet granulation method. Two different laboratory developed methods were tried for the isolation of seed mucilage from seed powder. The phytochemical, physico-chemical and microbiological properties were performed on the seed gum and the pre-compression parameters like bulk density, tapped density, angle of repose, carr’s index and hausner’s ratio have shown that paracetamol and diclofenac granules prepared using Cassia roxburghii gum were well within the limits and comparable to those prepared using standard starch paste as binder. The in vitro dissolution study was performed for paracetamol formulations with sodium starch glycolate and the dissolution profile shows all the three formulations met with official specifications. The in vitro dissolution profile shows that drug release decreased in the order, tablets prepared by starch>c.roxburghii defatted>c.roxburghii filtered in both paracetamol and diclofenac formulations. The drug release from tablets prepared by C.roxburghii seed gum was more than 85% in 2 hours and filtered C.roxburghii gum has excellent mechanical, binding and release properties in paracetamol tablet formulations with the addition of sodium starch glycolate as an external disintegrant

The aim of the present work was to develop sustained release Lornoxicam matrix tablets with polymers like HPMC K15M, Ethyl cellulose, and Crospovidone as carriers in varying quantities. Direct compression was used to make matrix tablets. Various assessment parameters, such as hardness, friability, thickness, percent drug content, weight variation, and so on, were applied to the prepared formulations. In vitro dissolution studies were carried out for 24 hrs. The tablets were subjected to in-vitro drug release in (pH 1.2) for first 2 hrs. Then followed by (pH 6.8) phosphate buffer for next 22 hrs. And the results showed that among the six formulations FL3 showed good dissolution profile to control the drug release respectively. The drug and polymer compatibility were tested using FT-IR spectroscopy, which revealed that the drug was compatible with all polymers. It is also required to design an appropriate prolonged release formulation for Lornoxicam in order to maintain the drug's release. Hence by using the compatible polymers sustained release tablets were formulated and subjected for various types of evaluation parameters like friability, hardness, drug content and dissolution behaviour. Finally, the findings reveal that the prepared sustained release matrix tablets of lornoxicam have improved efficacy and patient compliance.

The aim of the present study was to formulate solid dispersion (SD) of Mesalamine to enrich the aqueous solubility and dissolution rate. Mesalamine is used in the management of acute ulcerative colitis and for the prevention of relapse of active ulcerative colitis. In the present study, Solid dispersion of Mesalamine was prepared by Fusion and Solvent evaporation method with different polymers. SD’s were characterized by % practical yield, drug content, Solubility, FT-IR, PXRD (Powder X- ray diffractometry), SEM (Scanning electron microscopy), in vitro dissolution studies and Stability studies. The percent drug release of prepared solid dispersion of Mesalamine by fusion and solid dispersion method (FM47, FM67, SE47 and SE67) in 1:7 ratio was found 81.36±0.41, 86.29±0.64, 82.45±0.57and 87.25±1.14 respectively. The aqueous solubility and percent drug release of solid dispersion of Mesalamine by both methods was significantly increased. The PXRD demonstrated that there was a significant decrease in crystallinity of pure drug present in the solid dispersions, which resulted in an increased aqueous solubility and dissolution rate of Mesalamine.The significant increase in aqueous solubility and dissolution rate of Mesalamine was observed in solid dispersion as the crystallinity of the drug decreased, absence of aggregation and agglomeration, increased wetability and good dispersibility after addition of PEG 4000 and PEG 6000.

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).

In vitro dissolution profiles are increasingly used to evaluate drug release characteristics of pharmaceutical products. The dissolution methods is expected to be an appropriate tool for checking consistency of the pharmaceutical attributes by discriminating similarities and dissimilarities between different drug formulations. Expansion in development of novel “special” dosage forms, due to the manner in which these dosage forms release the active pharmaceutical ingredient, usually requires applying non-compendial dissolution strategy that differs from the traditional compendial recommendations. For demonstrating sameness in the dissolution profile, in vitro drug release comparison between test and reference product of highly viscous oral suspension by applying non-compendial peak vessel against conventional hemispheric vessel was demonstrated in this study. All reference batches exhibited high variability in dissolution data when using hemispheric vessel due to forming mound compact mass at the bottom of the vessel. Different strategies for samples manipulation, before and during dissolution period, were performed in order to eliminate additional variabilities. Modifications of conventional USP 2 apparatus such as using peak vessel provided with more reproducible and reliable result for distinguishing in vitro similarities between different formulations of oral suspensions. Misinterpretation of dissolution data can lead to negative impact on product development. Taking time to observe and evaluate what is happening to the product in the vessel during dissolution is of curtail consideration for proper selection of the dissolution strategy.

Twenty three different tablet formulations of alprazolam were prepared using Polymer like hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC K4M, HPMC K15M and HPMC K100M) in the concentration of 5 – 50 % of total weight of tablets and combination of HPMC K15M and HPMC K100M with ethyl cellulose (EC) was formulated by using wet granulation method. Drug formulation containing 1.0 mg, 1.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg and 15 mg alprazolam per tablet maintaining constant HPMC K15M concentration was also developed.The in-vitro dissolution studies of the formulated and marketed product in USP type II apparatus showed that the drug release is dependent upon the drug: polymer ratio; also molecular weight of the polymer and solubility of loaded drug. With increasing concentration and molecular weight of polymer, drug release was found to be decreased. When formulating the tablets the method used whether direct compression or wet granulations also affect the release of the drug from matrix. Wet granulation method by using 40 % HPMC K15M in combination with 5 % EC was found to be most suitable controlled release alprazolam tablet as drug release was found to be appreciable in this formulation. When loading dose of alprazolam was increased, drug release was found to be tremendously decreased because of the poor solubility of alprazolam in water. When one-way ANOVA was applied for various formulated and marketed tablets it was found that there is no significant difference (p > 0.05) in drug release rate among formulation similarly model independent methods was also applied such as similarity and dissimilarity factor and found that there is no significant difference between these formulations.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jmmihs.v1i1.9896 Journal of Manmohan Memorial Institute of Health Sciences Vol.1(1) 2011; 8-23

Objective: The objective of the current research is systematic optimization and development of microemulsion preconcentrates to get better solubility that results in improvement of oral bioavailability profile of Telmisartan utilizing D-optimal mixture design. Methods: Solubility studies in a variety of lipidic ingredients and optimization of formulations were carried out for the development of liquid SMEDDS. D-optimal mixture design was utilized for assessing the interaction performance of desired responses (such as % cumulative drug release and globule size) and optimized using desirability approach. The optimized batch was evaluated for its % cumulative drug release and globule size performance for determining the dissolution rate and oral bioavailability of drug. Results: The optimized batch (F-8), which contained 10% oil (Capmul MCM EP), 45% surfactant (Labrasol) and 45% co-surfactant (Transcutol HP) resulted in desired qualities of measured responses with 84.6nm globule size and 98.5% drug release within 15 minutes. Optimized SMEDDS showed brilliant goodness of fit between drug release. Stability studies indicated stability of the optimized SMEDDS batch over 3-month storage at 40°C/75% RH and improved dissolution rate in contrast to pure API. The optimized SMEDDS showed no impact of in vitro lipolysis on drug release. Conclusion: Developed and optimized SMEDDS showed improved in vitro dissolution rate and dissolution profile in contrast to pure drug. These investigations further confirm dose reduction in SMEDDS by gaining an equivalent therapeutic profile with non-SMEDDS formulation. This research work successfully shows the potential usage of SMEDDS for delivery of BCS-II class drugs.

Pramipexole dihydrochloride monohydrate is an antiparkinson’s agent which is known as dopamine D2 receptor agonist. It is structurally different from the ergot-derived drugs, e.g. bromocriptine or pergolide. Pramipexole is designated chemically as (S)-2-Amino-4, 5, 6, and 7-tetrahydro-6-(propylamino) benzothiazole and has the molecular formula C10H17N3S. It comes under class I of Biopharmaceutical Classification System. The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate pramipexole dihydrochloride monohydrate extended release tablets by wet granulation method using different proportions of polymers and binder. Pre-formulation studies were done initially and the results were found to be within the limits. All the mentioned batches were prepared and granules were evaluated for pre-compression parameters such as loss on drying, bulk density, tapped density and compressibility index. Tablets were evaluated for weight variation, thickness, hardness, friability; disintegration time and assay were found to be within the limits. In vitro dissolutions were performed with 0.05M 6.8 PH phosphate buffer and effect of various polymers were explored. Final selection of formulation was based on dissolution profile, from dissolution studies formulation 9 showed 80% drug release within 20 hours, so it will be compared with innovator. Similarity and difference factors which revealed that formulation (F 9) containing HPMC K 200, Eudragit L100 and binder are most successful as it exhibited in vitro drug release that matched with innovator product. In vitro drug release profile reveals that with increased concentration of Eudragit L 100. Accelerated stability studies were performed for the optimized batch which indicated that there were no changes in drug content and in vitro dissolution.

In this paper a simplified dissolution test was performed for the release of ambroxol from tablets according to the European Pharmacopoeia. In vitro, three different dissolution media; 0.1 M HCl pH 1.2, acetate buffer (ABS) pH 4.5 and phosphate buffer (PBS) pH 6.8 were used for the simulation of the gastrointestinal conditions at temperature of 37.0?0.5?C. The drug release was evaluated by a new ultra - high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) - tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) method. The method was validated to meet requirements as per ICH guidelines which include linearity, specificity, precision, accuracy and robustness. The corresponding dissolution profiles showed more than 80% drug release within 30 minutes without significant differences. Further, the developed and validated UHPLC-MS/MS method could find a useful application in the process of production, quality control and bioavailability/bioequivalence studies of new pharmaceutical formulations of drugs in order to achieve a safe therapeutic efficacy.
