Seed Mucilage

In the present study we performed extraction of chia seed mucilage, formulation, and evaluation of buccal mucoadhesive tablet containing extracted mucialge and venlafaxine, an commonly used antidepressant. Tablets were prepared using a formulation mixture of calcium phosphate, talc and magnesium stearate. Tablets were prepared by experimental factorial design software, using central composite design; where the concentration of chia seeds mucilage and that of magnesium stearates were independent variables. Drug release, friability and mucoadhesive strength were studied as dependent variables. Tablets were characterized for post compression profile. The optimized formulation showed the maximum drug release as 99.4% in 6 h, friability of 0.53% and mucoadhesive strength of 20.3 g. These features appear to be adequate for developing a buccal mucoadhesive drug delivery system for venlafaxine.

Melt Granulation

The objective of the present study was to identify critical formulation parameters affecting the drug release from modified release wax matrix tablet of milnacipran hydrochloride employing the concept of design of experiments.The optimized amount of Compritol 888 ATO(intragranular) (X1), lactose (X2) and Compritol 888ATO (extragranular)(X3) were determined employing simplex latticedesign. The tablets were prepared using melt granulation technique. The in vitro drug release study was carried out in an acidic medium (pH 1.2) for 2 h and thereafter the dissolution study was conducted in phosphate buffer (pH 6.8).The selected dependent variables were the cumulative percentage of milnacipran hydrochloride dissolved at 1 (Y1), 8 (Y8), 16 (Y16) and 24 h (Y24). Mathematical models, correlating the independent variables with dependent variables were evolved. Optimization was performed for the three independent variables using the stated target ranges; Y1≤20%; Y8=45±5%; Y16=72±5%; Y24=100%. The optimized amounts of Compritol ATO888 (intragranular)(X1), lactose (X2) and Compritol 888ATO (extragranular)(X3), were found to be 60, 55 and 30 mg, respectively.The optimized formulation showed a release profile that was close to the predicted values. The drug was released by anomalous diffusion from the optimized formulation. Compritol 888ATO (intragranular) (X1), lactose (X2) and Compritol 888ATO(extragranular) (X3) were identified as critical variables.

The float formulation is a strategy to improve the bioavailability of drugs by gastroretentive drug delivery system (GRDDS). A drug delivery model based on swellable and reswellable low density biopolymers has been designed to evaluate its drug release profile using ranitidine (RNT) as a model drug and formulations have been prepared utilizing 32factorial designs. The drug release (DR) data has been subjected to various kinetic models to investigate the DR mechanism. A reduction in rate has been observed by expanding the amounts of PSG and LSG parts, while an expansion has been noted by increasing the concentration of tragacanth (TG) and citric acid (CA) with an increment in floating time. The stearic acid (SA) has been used to decrease the lag time because a decrease in density of system was observed. The kinetic analysis showed that the optimized formulation (S4F3) followed zero-order kinetics and power law was found to be best fitted due to its minimum lag time and maximum floating ability. The resemblance of observed and predicted values indicated the validity of derived equations for evaluating the effect of independent variables while kinetic study demonstrated that the applied models are feasible for evaluating and developing float for RNT.

Background:: Cassia tora has been classified as an antifungal agent, but no optimized formulation for improved drug penetration has been developed. Objective:: The present work aimed to formulate Cassia tora extract (CTE) phytosomal gel that could be used for its antifungal effects and improved therapeutic activity. Materials and Methods: The CTE phytosomes were formulated by varying the concentration of lecithin (0.15-0.25% w/v) and speed of rotation (100-160 rpm). A 22 factorial design was applied by taking the above two parameters as independent variables and vesicular size and entrapment efficiency as dependent variables. The phytosomes were also evaluated for polydispersity index, zeta potential and in vitro drug release. The optimized phytosomes of CTE were further developed into a gel, the optimized gel was also evaluated and stability studies were conducted. Results and Discussion: The optimized CTE phytosome showed a vesicular size of ~ 124 nm and entrapment efficiency of 95%. The CTE phytosomes showed a drug release of 58.79% in 24 hours following Higuchi's order of release. The CTE phytosomes were formulated into a gel by using 1% Carbopol 934 and were evaluated for pH, viscosity and homogeneity. The formulated gel showed better penetration than conventional gel and stability changes indicated no major changes to the CTE phytosomal gel. Conclusion: The optimized gel had better penetration and drug release than the conventional gel. Its therapeutic activity, therefore can be estimated to be enhanced.

The aim of the current study was to formulate and optimize the formulation on the basis of in vitro performance of microsphere. A full factorial design was employed to study the effect of independent variables, polymer-to-drug ratio () and stirring speed (), on dependent variables, encapsulation efficiency, particle size, and time to 80% drug release. The best batch exhibited a high entrapment efficiency of 70% and mean particle size 290 μm. The drug release was also sustained for more than 12 hours. The study helped in finding the optimum formulation with excellent sustained drug release.

Enzyme Assisted Extraction

The process of enzyme assisted extraction of essential oil from the leaves and branches of the Vietnamese aromatic plant Cinnamomum cassia was studied and optimized using a Box-Wilson central composite design consisting of 05 independent variables (pH, temperature T, time τ, concentration of the enzyme Laccase, and concentration of the enzyme Cellic Htec2) and two dependent variables (reducing sugar and yield of essential oil). Second-order polynomial equations were obtained for the responses, which fitted well with the experimental data. Optimal conditions for oil yield were found at pH = 5.2; T = 440C; τ = 5h30'; Laccase = 0.42 ml/g, and Cellic Htec2 = 1.15%. The experimental value (0.982% oil yield) was close to the predicted value (0.978%). The application of enzyme assisted extraction  in combination with optimization using response surface methodology substantially improved the oil yield as compared with traditional method.
