Methimazole is active pharmaceutical ingredient effectively utilized in hyperthyroidism. Methimazole inhibits peroxidase as well as iodine interactions with thyroglobulin to produce triiodothyronine with thyroxine. Methimazole shows very low protein binding (1-10%) bounds to plasma proteins and easily metabolized by liver. In this investigation, efforts given to develop a sustained release matrix tablet of Methimazole. Sustained release drug delivery systems are for a maximum of 24 hours clinical effectiveness. Such systems are primarily for the drugs of short elimination half-life. However, drugs with long half-life also qualify if a reduction in steady state fluctuation is desired. Matrix tablets of methimazole were prepared by utilizing direct compression method. HPMC along with Sodium carboxy methyl cellulose used to retard drug release from the dosage form. Matrix tablets of methimazole were evaluated for different quality control test to improve quality of the product. In vitro release study of methimazole matrix tablets shows that polymer percentage used in the formula is enough to extend the release of the drug for at least 12 hr. In dissolution study of matrix of methimazole formulation F2 shows maximum drug release 97.93 % at the end of 6 hours while F1 shows least 83.64 %.

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 and Methyl Cellulose as release retardant polymers. The evaluation involves two stages- the physical properties studies of tablets and in vitro release kinetics assessment. The USP paddle method was selected to perform the dissolution test and 900 ml phosphate buffer of pH 6.8 was used as dissolution medium at 50 rpm at 370C. The release kinetics were analyzed. All the formulations followed Higuchi release kinetics. When the release data was plotted into Korsmeyer-Peppas equation, then it was confirmed that F-1, F-2, F-3, F-4 and F-5 exhibited non-fickian type drug release whereas F-6 exhibited fickian type drug release from the tablet matrix. The in-vitro release studies revealed that the formulation F-2 can be taken as an ideal or optimized formulation of sustained release tablets for 24 hours release as it fulfills all the requirements for sustained release tablet. Furthermore, when the tablets were preheated at different temperature (300C, 450C, 600C) before dissolution they showed decrease in drug release compared with ambient temperature DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bpj.v16i2.22301 Bangladesh Pharmaceutical Journal 16(2): 177-183, 2013

The major goal of this study was to develop and evaluate Sustained release matrix tablets of Gabapentin with Hibiscus rosa - sinensis leaves mucilage prepared by using wet granulation technique with microcrystalline cellulose as a diluents and magnesium stearate as a lubricant. Pre-compression and post-compression evaluation of physicochemical parameters were carried out and to be within acceptable limits. Drug and polymer compatibility were validated by FTIR measurements. Further, tablets were evaluated for in vitro release study. To get the sustained release of Gabapentin, the concentration of Hibiscus rosa- sinensis mucilage was tuned with a gas-generating agent. The % drug release of all formulation from F1 to F5 showed 91.24%, 80.24%, 70.53%, 62.12% and 49.83% respectively. All the dosage form release kinetics was computed using zero order, first order, Higuchi, and Korsmeyer–Peppas methods. From the above results, it is concluded that the n value of formulation F5 showed 0.78 suggesting anomalous (non-fickian) behavior of the drug. Mucilage from the leaves of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis has a great retarding effect in drug release from sustained release tablets.

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 aim of present study was to design the concept of bilayered tablets containing Glimepride for immediate release using sodium starch glycolate as super disintegrant and Metformin hydrochloride (HCl) for sustained release by using  Hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC K 4M) and Sodium Carboxy Methyl cellulose (SCMC) as the matrix forming polymer, and PVPK-30 as binder. The tablets were evaluated for physicochemical properties. All the values were found to be satisfactory. In vitro release studies were carried out as per USP in pH 1.2 with (0.1% sodium lauryl sulphate w/v) and phosphate buffer pH 6.8 using the apparatus I. The release kinetics of Metformin HCl was evaluated using the regression coefficient analysis. The formulated tablets (F5) shows zero order release and diffusion was the dominant mechanism of drug release. The polymer (HPMC K4M, SCMC) and binder PVPK-30 had significant effect on the release of Metformin HCl matrix tablets (F5). Thus formulated bilayer tablets provided immediate release of Glimepride and Metformin HCl as sustained release over a period of 8 hours.  Stability studies and FT-IR studies clearly indicated that there is no drug –polymer interaction.

The objective of this study was to design oral sustained release matrix tablets of Ranolazine usinghydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) as the retardant polymer and to study the effect of formulation factors suchas polymer proportion and polymer viscosity on the release of drug. In vitro release studies were performed usingUSP type II apparatus (paddle method) in 900 mL of 0.1N HCl at 100 rpm for 12 hours. The release kinetics wasanalyzed using the zero-order, first order, Higuchi and Korsmeyer-Peppas equations to explore and explain themechanism of drug release from the matrix tablets. In vitro release studies revealed that the release rate decreasedwith increase in polymer proportion and viscosity grade. Mathematical analysis of the release kinetics indicated thatthe nature of drug release from the matrix tablets was dependent on drug diffusion and polymer relaxation andtherefore followed non-Fickian or anomalous release. The developed controlled release matrix tablets of Ranolazineprepared with high viscosity HPMC extended release up to 12 hours.Key words: Ranolazine; Sustained release; Methocel E50 Premium LV; Methocel K100LV CR; Methocel K4M CR;Methocel K15M CR.DOI: 10.3329/dujps.v8i1.5333Dhaka Univ.

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 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 aim of the present work was designed to develop a model-sustained release matrix tablet formulation for Metformin hydrochloride using wet granulation technique. In the present study the formulation design was employed to statistically optimize different parameters of Metformin hydrochloride tablets at different drug-to-polymer ratios employing polymers Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose of two grades K4M and K100M as two independent variables whereas the dependent variables studied were X60, X120, T50, T90, n, and b values obtained from dissolution kinetics data. The in vitro drug release studies were carried out at simulated intestinal fluids, and the release showed a non-Fickian anomalous transport mechanism. The drug release was found to reveal zero order kinetics. The granules and the tablets were tested for their normal physical, morphological, and analytical parameters and were found to be within the satisfactory levels. There were no significant drug-polymer interactions as revealed by infrared spectra. It has been found out that on an optimum increased Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose K100M concentration and decreased Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose K4M concentration the formulations were elegant in terms of their release profiles and were found to be statistically significant and generable.

Objective: Metformin hydrochloride is a biguanide antihyperglycemic agent which is a generally recommended first-line drug for the treatment of diabetes mellitus (Type II). The purpose of this investigation is to prepare sustained release matrix granules of metformin hydrochloride which are coated to extend the drug release over a longer time period.Methods: Metformin hydrochloride granules were prepared by mixing all the dry powders in a V-cone blender and wetting the powder mix with aqueous solution of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose K100. The prepared granules (MG1-MG5) were investigated for drug release. The batch of granules which exhibited extended release for up to 4 h was coated in a standard coating pan with blends of Eudragit RS and RL to further enhance release period. These were marked as coated metformin granules (CMG3) and CMG4 which were later filled into empty capsules. The granules were characterized for micromeritic properties, percentage yield, particle size distribution, percentage of drug content, and in vitro release of the drug.Results: All the formulations showed percentage yield in the range of 77.66–82.86% and drug content in the range of 78.23–96.62%. CMG3 showed drug release of 97.02% for 12 h. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry studies indicated that no possible interaction existed between the drug and the polymers used. Scanning electron microscopy images revealed that the granules were spherical in shape with smooth surface and completely covered with a coating of polymer. Kinetic analysis of drug release confirmed that drug release followed zero-order kinetics where it is independent of the concentration.Conclusion: From the results, it was analyzed that design of coated granules employing the polymers used in the present work can produce a sustained release of the drug over a period of 12 h.

Objective: Matrix tablet approach is one of the delivery systems intended for poorly water-soluble drugs like candesartan cilexetil. Candesartan cilexetil is a class II drug used for the treatment of hypertension. Methods: Matrix tablets from (F1x to F18z) were prepared in the presence of β-cyclodextrin. Matrix tablet formulation ensures control release of the drug and higher dissolution by β-cyclodextrin. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry were used to study compatibility. Results:The angle of repose determination showed good flow for most of the formulas besides having good compressibility. Weight variation test for all formulas showed accepted value. Drug content measurement showed accepted values. Friability and hardness of tablets were within the allowed values. Higher tablet swelling was obtained for the formulas containing hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) K100M (F3x and F15z) in which the ratio of the polymer was (1:1) and (1:3) respectively. In vitro release showed that F1x to F13z were studied depends on the type and amount of polymer i.e. (1:1), (1:2) and (1:3) respectively. F1x release after 8h was 95% which contain (1:1) polymer ratio in compare to F3x, which showed 85% after 8h, Which include 1:3 (drug: HPMC K100). Kinetic studies showed a zero-order model. Conclusion: The use of β-cyclodextrin modify the release profile of the drug, and control the sustained release formulas. The lower the time of the release but in a range that a sustained release of the drug was observed in compare with the formulas prepared without β-cyclodextrin.
