Topical delivery of local anaesthetic drugs such as Lidocaine HCl using carriers and novel nanotechnology can enhance effective drug permeation through the skin into deeper layers and exhibit desirable duration of action. The present study was aimed to formulate and evaluate Lidocaine HCl loaded cubosomes (LHLCs) for sustained therapeutic topical action. Cubosomes emanated as favourable means for the delivery of the drug. LHLCs were prepared by top-down technique using lipid and polymer. Eight formulations of LHLCs were prepared using different concentrations of glyceryl monooleate (GMO) and Poloxamer 407 (P-407). Local anaesthetics create loss of sensation in particular region of the body by inhibiting impulse generation and propagation. Lidocaine HCl is most commonly used amino amide local anaesthetic. It is used as local, topical, intravenous, epidural, peripheral and spinal anaesthesia. The prepared cubosomal dispersions were evaluated to determine surface morphology, particle size, poly dispersibility index (PDI), zeta potential, entrapment ability, tissue distribution studies, and in vitro drug release studies. Scanning Electron Microscopic analysis confirmed that drug was encapsulated in bicontinuous structure. The maximum entrapment efficiency was found to be 89.85±1.1% with vesicle size as 228±2.1nm, charge as -5.68±2.7, PDI as 0.295 and 98.83%± 0.12 in vitro drug release at the end of 12 hr for F7 formulation, which was confirmed as optimized cubosomal dispersion.

Objective: Ramosetron Hydrochloride is found to be more potent and having a longer duration of action with the least side effects, but the major drawback is it undergoes hepatic first-pass metabolism so our aim is to prepare mouth dissolving film (MDF) of Ramosetron hydrochloride for rapid relief in emesis. Methods: The mouth dissolving films of Ramosetron Hydrochloride were prepared by using the solvent casting method. Films were formulated using HPMC E5 (Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose) as a film-forming agent, PEG400 (Polyethylene glycol) as a plasticizer and Aspartame as the sweetening agent. A 32 full factorial design was applied considering the concentration of HPMC E5 (X1) and concentration of PEG400 (X2) as independent variables and % cumulative drug release (Y1) (CDR), disintegration time (Y2) (DT) and tensile strength (Y3) (TS) as dependent variables. The prepared films were evaluated for thickness, folding endurance, tensile strength, disintegration time, drug content uniformity and taste masking by E-tongue. The results indicated that factors X1 and X2 were found to be having a positive effect on DT and TS and negative effects on CDR. Results: The optimized formulation was found to be the best with 94.00±0.85% in vitro drug release, 33.22±0.75 sec DT and 1.359±0.005 g/mm2 tensile strength. Concentration of aspartame was optimized with E-tongue taking into consideration increased electric potential with decreasing bitterness. Conclusion: Thus, a rapidly dissolving oral film of Ramosetron Hydrochloride with successful taste masking and immediate in vitro drug release was prepared using a solvent casting technique.

Macromolecular Prodrug

A macromolecular prodrug of didanosine (ddI) for oral administration was synthesized and evaluated for in-vitro drug release profile. Didanosine was first coupled to 2-hydroxy ethyl methacrylate (HEMA) through a succinic spacer to form HEMA-Suc-ddI monomeric conjugate which was subsequently polymerized to yield Poly(HEMA-Suc-ddI) conjugate. The structures of the synthesized compounds were characterized by FT-IR, Mass and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The prodrug was subjected for in-vitro drug release studies in buffers of pH 1.2 and 7.4 mimicking the upper and lower GIT. The results showed that the drug release from the polymeric backbone takes place in a sustained manner over a period of 24 h and the amount of drug released was comparatively higher at pH 7.4 indicating that the drug release takes place predominantly at the alkaline environment of the lower GIT rather than at the acidic environment of the upper GIT. This pH dependent sustained drug release behavior of the prodrug may be capable of reducing the dose limiting toxicities by maintaining the plasma drug level within the therapeutic range and increasing t1/2 of ddI. Moreover, the bioavailability of the drug should be improved as the prodrug releases ddI predominantly in the alkaline environment which will reduce the degradation of ddI in the stomach acid.

In this present work, chitosan (CS) crosslink with polyaniline (PANI) with montmorilonite (MMT) called as (CSPANI/MMT) and CS crosslink with PANI without MMT called as (CS-PANI) were prepared by employing the solution casting method. Further the formation of nanocomposites CS-PANI/MMT and CS-PANI were investigated using XRD, FTIR, SEM and tensile strength. Water uptake and swelling ratio of the CS-PANI and CS-PANI/MMT were found to decrease with increase in concentration of clay. Mechanical properties of the CS-PANI and CS-PANI/MMT were assessed in terms of tensile strength and extensibility using texture analyzer. Increase in tensile strength and reduction in extensibility was reported with increase in the nanoclay content. In vitro drug release study on CS-PANI and CS-PANI/MMT indicated pronounced sustained release of doxorubicin by the incorporation of clay particles in the CS polymer matrix. Overall CSPANI/MMT nanocomposite films exhibited improved mechanical and sustained drug release properties than CS-PANI.

Mucoadhesive Tablets

The present investigation focuses on the development of mucoadhesive tablets of captopril which are designed to prolong the gastric residence time after oral administration. Matrix tablets of captopril were formulated using four mucoadhesive polymers namely guar gum, xanthan gum, HPMC K4M and HPMC K15M and studied for parameters such as weight variation, thickness, hardness, content uniformity, swelling index, mucoadhesive force and in vitro drug release. Tablets formulated Xanthan gum or HPMC K4M with HPMC K15M provide slow release of captopril over period of 12 hr and were found suitable for maintenance portion of oral controlled release tablets. The cumulative % of drug release of formulation F9 and F10 were 90 and 92, respectively. In vitro release from these tablets was diffusion controlled and followed zero order kinetics. The ‘n’ values obtained from the pappas-karsemeyer equation suggested that all the formulation showed drug release by non-fickian diffusion mechanism. Tablets formulated Xanthan gum or HPMC K4M with HPMC K15M (1:1) were established to be the optimum formulation with optimum bioadhesive force, swelling index & desired invitro drug release. This product was further subjected to stability study, the results of which indicated no significant change with respect to Adhesive strength and in vitro drug release study.
