Orodispersible Tablets

The present study was aimed to integrate the developed and optimized ketotifen fumarate dispersion into Orodispersible tablets formulations, to enhance the dissolution rate and bioavailability aspects of the drug. Ketotifen fumarate solid dispersion was prepared using different concentrations of poloxamer 407via solvent evaporation and fusion method. Solubility study, x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and other investigations were done. Ten formulations of the optimum dispersed ketotifen fumarate Orodispersible tablets were prepared with various superdisintegrants, the results of in vitro - in vivo tests revealed that, the dispersion of the drug in the polymer considerably enhanced the solubility, the batch (Fsd 3) prepared by fusion method showed increased the solubility as ~2-fold compared with a pure drug. FTIR spectra, SEM and XRD data, showed amorphrization of ketotifen fumarate, which explains the better dissolution rate of the drug from its solid dispersions. Formulation F1 containing 15%w/w of crospovidone was showed in vitro- in vivo disintegration time (17 sec., 15 sec. respectively) and percent of drug dissolved in 2 min. was 90.04%, proved to be the optimum formulation, which is required for obtaining rapidly disintegrating tablets. The solubility of the drug had increased, and the resultant orodispersible tablets can be considered as a promising dosage form to achieve better patient compliance.

Formulation Variables

Simvastatin is a well established oral antihypercholesterolemic agent. This study aimed to formulate simvastatin as orodispersible tablets. The drug was incorporated as a solid dispersion using Pluronic® F68 as carrier. Croscarmellose Na was used as superdisintegrant, microcrystalline cellulose as filler, PVP K-30 as binder and 1:1 magnesium stearate/talc mixture as lubricant. Box- Behnken design was adapted to explore the main and interaction effects of three independent formulation variables on the prepared tablets, namely superdisintegrant concentration (X1), lubricant mixture concentration (X2), and binder concentration (X3). A total of 13 tablet formulations were fabricated in addition, to two replicates of the center point to assess variability and experimental error. The selected dependant variables were the<em> in vitro</em> and <em>in vivo</em> disintegration times, dissolution rate at 4 min, and dissolution efficiency after 30 min. Wetting time, drug content, hardness and friability were also evaluated. Tablet formula, composing of 12% superdisintegrant, 2% lubricant mixture and 3% binder, showed the highest dissolution rate with an acceptable disintegration time (43 sec), hardness, and friability and was chosen as the best formula. An accelerated stability study was conducted for 6 months at 40°C/75% RH. Results showed no significant changes in any of the tested parameters.

The objective of present work was to develop taste masked orodispersible tablets of mirabegron. Mirabegron is beta 3 adrenoceptor agonist used to treat overactive bladder. Overactive bladder (OAB) is defined as a symptom syndrome showing feeling of urgency to urinate, typically accompanied by frequent daytime and nocturnal urination, in the absence of proven infection or other obvious pathology. Over active bladders are generally common in geriatrics. Moreover, this drug has a very strong bitter taste. Frequent dosing requires frequent water intake, which further aggregates the condition of over active bladder and bitter taste of drug affects patient compliance. Hence a need arises to mask the bitter taste for development of an ODT which does not require consuming water with every dosage. In this work, the bitter taste of mirabegron was masked by forming a complex with an ion exchange resin tulsion 344. The drug resin complexation process was optimized for resin activation, drug: resin ratio, soaking time and stirring time. In –vitro release studies revealed complete drug elution from the complex within 10 minutes in pH 1.2 buffer. The taste-masked complex was then formulated into palatable orodispersible tablets using a direct compression approach by use of superdisintegrants to achieve a rapid disintegration. The tablets were evaluated for weight variation, hardness, friability, drug content, wetting time, In- vivo disintegration time and in-vitro dissolution time.

Solubility of phytochemicals is a major concern for drug delivery, permeability, and their biological response. However, advancements in the novel formulation technologies have been helping to overcome these challenges. The applications of these newer technologies are easy for commercialization and high therapeutic outcomes compared to conventional formulations. Considering these facts, the present study is aimed to prepare a silymarin-loaded eutectic mixture with three different ratios of Polyvinylpyrrolidone K30 (PVP K30) and evaluating their anti-inflammatory, and hepatoprotective effects. The preliminary phytochemical and characterization of silymarin, physical mixture, and solid dispersions suggested and successfully confirmed the formation of solid dispersion of silymarin with PVP K30. It was found that the solubility of silymarin was increased by 5-fold compared to pure silymarin. Moreover, the in vitro dissolution displayed that 83% of silymarin released within 2 h with 2.8-fold increase in dissolution rate compared to pure silymarin. Also, the in vivo study suggested that the formulation significantly reduced the carbon tetrachloride- ( 0.8620 ± 0.05034 ∗ ∗ for 1 : 3 ratio), paracetamol- ( 0.7300 ± 0.01517 ∗ ∗ for 1 : 3 ratio), and ethanol- ( 0.8100 ± 0.04037 ∗ ∗ for 1 : 3 ratio) induced hepatotoxicity in rats. Silymarin solid dispersion was prepared using homogenization methods that have prominent anti-inflammatory effect ( 0.6520 ± 0.008602 ∗ ∗ with 8.33%) in carrageenan-induced rat paw model.

Lercanidipine Hydrochloride

90% of drugs being researched today, posses poor solubility setback which inturn renders  the drug with slower rate of absorption from the buccal route; hence dissolution is the rate limiting step for such lipophilic drugs. So, there is a need to keep a check on the dissolution profile of these drugs to ensure maximum therapeutic utilization. The dissolution rate therefore becomes a primary factor which governs the rate and extent of its absorption. Enormous work is being performed in the field of enhancement of solubility and dissolution behaviour of such drugs. Advancements and innovations have developed solid dispersion (SD) technique as the novel method for the solubility enhancement. Precision of dosing and patient's compliance is a crucial prerequisite for the management of chronic Antihypertensive treatment, So there arised a need to formulate a system which should resolve the difficulties associated with conventional tablets. This issue can be better tackled with the formulation of orally fast disintegrating tablets. The aim of the present study was to improve the solubility and dissolution rate of Lercanidipine hydrochloride (LRH) by formulating a solid dispersion with Polyvinyl pyrollidine (PVP-K30) and Guargum. Full Factorial designs are exploited to learn and research the effects of different variables on the quality determinant parameters. An appropriate statistical model was selected for the scrutiny of the enhanced dissolution pattern. Finally, these solid dispersions were incorporated into fast disintegrating tablets.

Flurbiprofen solid dispersion Adsorbate (SDA) has been prepared using PEG 4000 and Poloxamer 188 as carrier and Neusilin as adsorbent material. The SDA of Flurbiprofen was prepared by using Fusion method in various drugs to carrier ratios. The phase solubility study concludes that both polymers have ability to improve the aqueous solubility of flurbiprofen. Pure API Flurbiprofen and final formulation samples of SDA are characterized by FTIR, DSC and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy. X-ray powder diffraction and DSC study indicated that the drug was present in amorphous form. FTIR study revealed that the characteristic peaks in spectra of pure Flurbiprofen are also present in spectra of SDA’s. Drug found compatible with the excipients. The highest improvement in solubility and in-vitro drug release were observed in solid dispersion prepared with Poloxamer 188 (F14) by fusion method. The increased dissolution rate of drug from solid dispersion adsorbates may be due to surface tension lowering effect of polymer to the medium and increased wettability and dispersibility of drug. Hence, F14 Solid dispersion adsorbates with the Poloxamer carrier in 1:2 ratio considered as most satisfactory among all solid dispersion adsorbates.

The poor solubility of drug substances in water and their low dissolution rate in aqueous G.I.T fluid often leads to insufficient bioavailability. As per Biopharmaceutical Classification System (BCS), Olmesartan belongs to the class-II category having poor solubility and high permeability. Since only dissolved drug can pass the gastrointestinal membrane, the proper solubility of the drug is ultimately desired. Its oral bioavailability is 26%. Hence, an attempt was made to enhance its solubility by formulating solid dispersions using different techniques viz., Melting, Kneading, Co-precipitation, Solvent evaporation and Physical mixing etc., Drug and carrier (Urea) in different ratios like 1: 1, 1: 2, 1: 3 and 1:4 were used for formulating solid dispersions. The compatibility of the drug with the carrier was checked by FTIR studies, these results revealed that there was no interaction between them. The angle of repose, bulk density, tapped density; Carr’s index and Hausner ratio were calculated for the micrometric characterization of all the solid dispersions. The drug content was found to be high and uniform in all formulations. The prepared Solid dispersion SEM4 (1:4) showed minimal wetting time of 13 seconds compared with the other formulations. In vitro dissolution, release studies in Phosphate buffer pH of 6.8 revealed that the prepared solid dispersions showed faster drug release compared with the pure drug.  The in vitro dissolution profile showed ascendency on increasing the carrier concentration
