Dissolution Properties

Orally disintegrating tablets of Furosemide were prepared, evaluated and the comparison of the action of different concentrations of disintegrants on disintegration and dissolution of the tablets were studied. Direct compression method was used to prepare the orally disintegrating tablets containing 20 mg of Furosemide. The formulation was conducted using different concentrations of crospovidone, croscarmellose and sodium starch glycolate as superdisintegrants and their interactions with Furosemide were also evaluated using FTIR.  FTIR studies using the drug and its mixtures with the excipients showed that the peaks correlate with one another which signify that there is no interaction between the drug molecule and the excipients used. The obtained results revealed that the disintegration time of ODTs were between 9 to 59 seconds. The percentage drug content of tablets in all the formulations was found between 91.51% to 106.69%, which complies with the limits established in pharmacopoeia. The in-vitro dissolution studies show maximum release of 89.47% in formulation F3 and minimum of 77.64% in formulation F12. Higher concentration of crospovidone and croscarmellose in formulations F3 and F6 showed better dissolution properties than SSG. So by varying the concentrations of superdisintegrants, oral disintegrating tablets can be formulated.

Objective: The aim of the present investigation was to design and evaluate orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) of Ibuprofen, a NSAID drug used for the treatment of arthritis with a view to improve its oral bioavailability. The focus of the current study was to develop ODT of Ibuprofen using super disintegrants for ease of administration and its physicochemical characterization.Methods: Tablets were made from blends by direct compression method. All the ingredients were passed through mesh no. 80. All the ingredients were co-ground in a pestle motor. The resulting blend was lubricated with magnesium stearate and compressed into tablets using the Cadmach single punch (round shaped, 8 mm thick) machine.Results: Physicals parameters of the prepared tablets like Hardness, Weight variation, Friability, thickness, drug content etc. found within the limits. The disintegration time of prepared ODTs was in the range of 45 to 55 seconds. In vitro dispersion time was found to be 22 to 52 seconds which may be attributed to faster uptake of water due to the porous structure formed by super disintegrants. Short disintegration and faster release of ibuprofen were observed with Cross carmellose sodium as compared to sodium starch glycollate.Conclusion: It is concluded that F3 offered the relatively rapid release of Ibuprofen when compared with other formulations. The increase in the concentrations of super disintegrants may lead to increase in the drug release. The formulation prepared with cross carmellose sodium was offered the relatively rapid release of Ibuprofen when compared with other concentrations of both the super disintegrant.
