The main objective of this work is to formulate and evaluate Cetirizine HCl MFDT’s using different concentrations of superdisintegrants like croscarmellose sodium (CCS), sodium starch glycolate (SSG) and their combinations in different ratios. The in vitro disintegration time of Cetrizine Hcl prepared by direct compression method by super disintegrates were found to be in the range of 18 to 11sec fulfilling the official requirements. The bulk density and tapped bulk density for the entire formulation blend varied from 0.508 gm/cc to 0.5438 gm/cc and 0.5941 to 0.6408 respectively. The friability was found in all designed formulations in the range 0.42 to 0.74% to be well within the approved range (<1%). The weight variation was found in all designed formulation in the range 97 to 102 mg. The wetting time were found to be in the range of 11 to 18sec. Water absorption ratio for all the formulations found in the range 11 to 16%.combination of sodium starch glycolate and cross carmellose sodium (6% of 25%-ssg&75%ccs)) promotes dissolution rate of drug release when compared to formulation of SSG & CCS alone. It may be due to capillary and wicking mechanism of SSG & CCS.   Keywords:

Objective: To synthesize, characterize and evaluate starch valerate as a superdisintegrant in the formulation of aceclofenac fast dissolving tablets by employing 23 factorial design. Methods: Starch valerate was synthesized and its physical and micromeritic properties were performed to evaluate it. The fast dissolving tablet of aceclofenac was prepared by employing starch valerate as a superdisintegrant in different proportions in each case by direct compression method using 23 factorial design for evaluation of tablet parameters like disintegration and dissolution efficiency in 5 min. Results: The starch valerate prepared was found to be fine, amorphous and free flowing. Starch valerate exhibited good swelling in water with swelling index (125.2%). The study of starch valerate was shown by fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR). The drug content (200±5%), hardness (3.5–4 kg/sq. cm), and friability (<0.15%) has been effective with regard to all the formulated fast dissolving tablets employing starch valerate. The disintegration time of all the formulated tablets was found to be in the range of 14±0.04 to 25.7±0.02 sec. The optimized formulation F4 had the least disintegration time i.e., 12.8±0.02 sec. The wetting time of the tablets was found to be in the range of 76±0.21 to 217±0.17s. The In vitro wetting time was less (i.e., 28±0.02s) in optimized formulation F4. The water absorption ratio of the formulated tablets was found to be in the range of 46±0.12 to 100±0.27%. The percent drug dissolved in the optimized formulation F8 was found to be 99.93% in 5 min. Conclusion: Starch valerate, when combined with sodium starch glycolate, croscarmellose sodium, with aceclofenac, was found to be an effective super disintegrant which improved the dissolution efficiency and could therefore be used in the formulation of quick dissolving tablets to provide immediate release of the contained drug within 5 min.

The objective of present study was to compare the disintegration efficiency of mucilage isolated from Plantago ovata with commonly used synthetic superdisintegrant, croscarmellose sodium in the formulation of orally disintegrating tablets. Effects of varying concentration of both superdisintegrants on disintegration time were studied. Orally disintegrating tablets of metoclopramide hydrochloride were prepared using selected superdisintegrants by direct compression technique. Prepared tablets were evaluated for weight variation, thickness, hardness, friability, disintegration time, wetting time, water absorption ratio and dissolution test. Swelling index was also investigated for comparing the swelling property of croscarmellose sodium with mucilage of Plantago ovata. Swelling index of mucilage isolated from Plantago ovata was found to be greater (94 ± 2.5% v/v) when compared with croscarmellose sodium (85 ± 1.5% v/v). The present study indicated that mucilage isolated from natural source proved to be more effective for their disintegrating property than the most commonly used synthetic superdisintegrant, croscarmellose sodium.

AbstractIn the present investigation comparison of three different superdisintegrants was carried out by formulating orally disintegrating tablets. Promethazine HCl was used as model drug which is an antiemetic drug. Sodium starch glycolate, croscarmellose and crospovidone were selected as superdisintegrants and each one was used in three different concentrations (2%, 3.5% and 5%). The drug-polymer compatibility was ruled out by FTIR studies. A total of nine formulations (PF1-PF9) were made by direct compression. All prepared formulations were evaluated for weight variation, hardness, friability, drug content, disintegration time, wetting time and in vitro drug release parameters. The results of the evaluation parameters for all the nine formulations of promethazine HCl were within the standard limits. The in vitro drug release for promethazine HCl tablets of all the formulations (PF1-PF9) was carried out using phosphate buffer pH 6.8 as dissolution medium. Among all the formulations the tablets formulated with crospovidone (PF7-PF9) have shown 91.43 - 98.43% (maximum) drug release at the end of 10 min than sodium starch glycolate and croscarmellose, hence from the present work, it concluded that among three superdisintegrants crospovidone is the ideal superdisintegrant for formulating oral disintegrating tablets for promethazine HCl.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to prepare the ondansetron hydrochloride Mouth Dissolving Tablets (MDTs) followed by its comparison with ethical and non-ethical (generic) marketed tablets. Methods: Prior to the formulation, drug excipient compatibility study was carried out by FTIR spectroscopy. The λmax was determined by UV spectroscopy. The ondansetron hydrochloride MDTs were prepared by direct compression method using Sodium Starch Glycolate (SSG) as super disintegrant and camphor as a sublimating agent. Then the prepared MDTs were subjected to evaluation of post compression parameters such as thickness and diameter, weight variation, wetting time, hardness, friability, disintegration and dissolution. The results obtained were compared with that of ethical and non-ethical marketed ondansetron hydrochloride 4 mg tablets. Results: The λmax was found at 310 nm. FTIR study revealed that excipients used in the prepared formulations are compatible with the drug. The thickness and diameter was in the range of 2.646 to 3.27 mm and 6.0 to 8.12 mm, respectively. Friability was in the range of 0.43 to 0.88 % and had a slightly higher friability (1.27%) for sublimated tablets. Wetting time and disintegration time were in the range of 15 to 40 sec and 23 to 50 sec, respectively. The 100 % drug release was found within 180 sec for all the codes. These results were then compared with non-ethical film coated ondansetron marketed tablets. Conclusion: Ondansetron hydrochloride MDT 4 mg tablets prepared in the laboratory were under specified IP limits. The experimental findings demonstrated that any of these ethical and non-ethical tablets of ondansetron hydrochloride can be selected, advised by the physician or pharmacist, as per the patient’s need and economical status.
