Itopride Hydrochloride

Natural polymers are abundantly available in plants with their wider pharmaceutical applications and are preferred more than some synthetic polymers because of their biodegradable, biocompatible and non-toxic properties. The study aims to formulate Itopride Hydrochloride loaded Sustained Release (SR) matrix tablet from the mucilage extracted from okra plant (Abelmoschus esculantus) and carry out the comparative study on the release retardant effect of synthetic binders like HPMC K100M and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and their combinations. The extraction of the mucilage was carried by the maceration process. The formulation of Itopride loaded SR matrix tablet was carried by moist granulation technique. The micrometric, physiochemical studies and purity tests confirms the suitability of mucilage as an excipient. Pre-compression study suggests good flow property of the powders. The minimum angle of repose was observed in F7 with 29.03±0.6º and F2 exhibited maximum angle of repose with 34.30±0.5º. Carr's index and Hausner's ratio was lower in F1 with 11.56±0.4 and 1.11±0.3 respectively. Drug-excipient interaction study performed using FTIR spectrophotometry suggested no interaction between the drug and excipients. The in-vitro drug release of Itopride Hydrochloride loaded SR tablet up to 12 hours in 0.1 N HCl was conducted and observed to be maximum in F3 with 87.34±5.33% and minimum in F6 with 77±5.65 %. Drug release from the formulations were significant compared to the marketed product of Itopride Hydrochloride (p<0.05). The data were analyzed by Tukey post hoc multiple comparison test.

The objective of this study was to develop a sustained release matrix tablet of aceclofenac usinghydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC K15M and HPMC K100M CR) in various proportions as release controllingfactor by direct compression method. The powders for tableting were evaluated for angle of repose, loose bulkdensity, tapped bulk density, compressibility index, total porosity and drug content etc. The tablets were subjected tothickness, weight variation test, drug content, hardness, friability and in vitro release studies. The in vitro dissolutionstudy was carried out for 24 hours using United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) 22 paddle-type dissolution apparatus inphosphate buffer (pH 7.4). The granules showed satisfactory flow properties, compressibility index and drug contentetc. All the tablets complied with pharmacopoeial specifications. The results of dissolution studies indicated that theformulations F-2 and F-3 could extend the drug release up to 24 hours. By comparing the dissolution profiles with themarketed product, it revealed that the formulations exhibited similar drug release profile. From this study, a decreasein release kinetics of the drug was observed when the polymer concentration was increased. Kinetic modeling of invitro dissolution profiles revealed the drug release mechanism ranges from diffusion controlled or Fickian transport toanomalous type or non-Fickian transport, which was only dependent on the type and amount of polymer used. Thedrug release followed both diffusion and erosion mechanism in all cases. The drug release from these formulationswas satisfactory after 3 months storage in 40°C and 75% RH. Besides, this study explored the optimum concentrationand effect of polymer(s) on acelofenac release pattern from the tablet matrix for 24 hour period.Key words: Aceclofenac; sustained release; hydrophillic matrix; HPMC; direct compression.DOI: 10.3329/dujps.v8i1.5332Dhaka Univ.

The aim of the present study was to develop and evaluate sustained release floating tablets of Diltiazem hydro-chloride, an antihypertensive agent. The sustained release floating tablets were prepared by direct compression method and formulated using different polymer combinations, formulations such as F1 to F9. Natural polymer Sodium alginate and synthetic polymer HPMC K4M were used. Developed formulations were evaluated for the pre compression parameters i.e., drug- excipients compatibility by FTIR, bulk density, compressibility, and angle of repose etc. Post compression parameters i.e. weight variation; full factorial design was applied to optimize the developed formulation. SA and HPMC K4M were selected as independent variable at three different concentrations. The in-vitro drug release study revealed that formulation F8 combination of both synthetic (HPMC) and natural polymers (sodium alginate) was the most successful formulation of the study, all tablets but one exhibited gradual and near complete sustained release for diltiazem HCl (90-100%) that extended the drug release up to 8 hours, with satisfactory drug release in the initial hours, and the total release pattern was close to the theoretical release profile.  Model equations of zero and first order, Higuchi, Hixson-Crowell and Peppas, intended to elucidate the drug release mechanism, and were fitted to the release data. Mathematical modelling of in-vitro dissolution data indicated the best-fit release kinetics was achieved with Higuchi model with r2 vales of 0.994 in its semi log plot. The ‘n’ value in Higuchi model was >0.89 which indicated, Super Case-II transport of drug from polymer sustained, i.e., diffusion with relaxation of polymeric chain. In conclusion, the results indicated that the prepared sustained-release tablets of Diltiazem hydrochloride could perform therapeutically better than conventional tablets with improved efficacy and better patient compliance.

Objective: The objective of the present study was to develop sustained release matrix tablets of levosulpiride by using natural polymers.Method: The tablets were prepared with different ratios of Chitosan, Xanthan gum and Guar gum by wet granulation technique. The solubility study of the levosulpiride was conducted to select a suitable dissolution media for in vitro drug release studies.Results: Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) study revealed no considerable changes in IR peak of levosulpiride and hence no interaction between drug and the excipients. DSC thermograms showed that no drug interaction occurred during the manufacturing process. In vitro dissolution study was carried out for all the formulation and the results compared with marketed sustained release tablet. The drug release from matrix tablets was found to decrease with increase in polymer ratio of Chitosan, Xanthan gum and Guar gum.Conclusion: Formulation LF3 exhibited almost similar drug release profile in dissolution media as that of marketed tablets. From the results of dissolution data fitted to various drug release kinetic equations, it was observed that highest correlation was found for First order, Higuchi’s and Korsmeyer equation, which indicate that the drug release occurred via diffusion mechanism.  Keywords: Levosulpiride, sustained release tablets, natural polymers, in vitro drug release studies

Developed the formulations from B1 to B4 contains alone sterculia gum and its proportion increased gradually in the formulation. The formulations B5 to B10 contain the sterculia gum in combination with Eudragit S 100 and the hydrophilic, hydrophobic polymer. The budesonide core in coat matrix tablets was prepared by direct compression method. The powder bed of the formulations is evaluated for pre compressional characteristics like bulk density, tapped density, compressibility index and angle of repose. The compressed budesonide core in coat matrix tablets were evaluated for post compressional characteristics like thickness, diameter, hardness, disintegration, friability and to understand the drug release pattern and to correlate the in vivo condition, the in vitro dissolution performed in three different gastro intestinal pH at 1.2, pH 7.4 and pH 6.8 with and without 4% rat cecal content. The in vitro dissolution results of formulations ascertain that sterculia gum alone in formulation uncontrolled the drug release in first 5 hrs and carried lesser amount of drug to colon. The formulations B8 in the first 5 hours released 4.3% and carried the larger amount of drug to colon and in absence of rat cecal content released 90% and in presences of 4% rat cecal content released 99% of drug, indicating the sterculia gum undergoes enzymatic degradation and this formulation is considered as potential in targeting the budesonide to colon in the local ulcerative colitis
