The aim of present work was to develop a metformin hydrochloride sustained release tablet by aqueous coating. Eudragit RL and Eudragit RS were used for coating of tablets. Eudragit RL having 10% and Eudragit RS having 5% of functional quaternary ammonium groups, which give rise to pH independent permeability of the polymer. Metformin hydrochloride uncoated tablets were prepared by wet granulation technique. Tablets were coated with blends of Eudragit RS30D and Eudragit RL30D in 5:1 and in 3:1 ratios at different coating level viz. 7%, 5%, 3%, 1.5%, 1%. Two dissolution media: pH 1.2 and pH 6.8 phosphate buffer were employed for in vitro release behaviors of metformin hydrochloride tablets. Coating with blends of Eudragit RS 30D and Eudragit RL 30D in 5:1 and in 3:1 ratio at 1% and at 3% showed sustained release effect for 12 h. The two Eudragit polymers with different features as coating materials produced the desired results.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) means high blood pressure in the lungs caused by obstruction in the small arteries of the lungs.The current study involves the fabrication of oral matrix sustained release tablet of bosentan monohydrate, a dual endothelin receptor antagonist, the optimisation of its in vitro release and characterisation. Methocel K4M PremiumDC2, a directly compressible HPMC grade, has been used as the sustained release polymer. Pregelatinised starch is used as a diluent and release modifier and sodium lauryl sulphate as a solubiliser. The influence of the above variables on drug release is measured using a 23 factorial design using design expert software. Surface response plots show significant interaction among the formulation variables, thus aiding in optimization of bilayer tablet.

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.

Sustained release matrix tablets of venlafaxine were formulated using synthetic polymers (ethylcellulose & hydroxypropyl methylcellulose). Six (06) different batches of matrix tablets of venlafaxine (dose 75 mg) were prepared by the wet granulation method. Polymers were used alone or in combination. The physical properties of compressed tablets were evaluated. In vitro release drug studies were performed in phosphate buffer at pH 6.8 over 24 hours. The drug release data fitted well to the First-order (R2 = 0.9725 � 0.9900). The n value obtained for most batches ranged from 0.523 to 0.946 indicates that the drug is released through an anomalous or non�Fickian transport. Results revealed that the combination of ethyl cellulose (EC) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose produced a sustained effect compared to hydroxypropyl methylcellulose alone. Formulation F6 containing single polymer (EC) showed the highest control over initial burst release, and extended-release of the drug continued up to 16 hours.

Hibiscus Rosa Sinensis

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.
