Lipid Excipients

The aim of the present study was to mask the bitter taste of oxybutynin chloride by lipid excipients and to develop its fast disintegrating tablet. For this purpose, a blend of two lipids, glyceryl behenate and glyceryl palmitostearate was utilized for taste masking by solvent evaporation method. The evaporation of solvent was accomplished by freeze drying and taste masked granules were characterized for their micromeritic and rheological properties. The state of dispersion was analyzed by SEM and DSC. Orodispersible tablets were then formulated (F1- F6) using Polyplasdone XL as extragranular superdisintegrant and evaluated for hardness, disintegration time, in vitro dissolution time and in vivo disintegration time. Results indicated that the formulation F6 exhibited minimum in vivo disintegration time of 8 sec with effective taste masking. In vitro release analysis indicated %DE10 and %DE25 of 51.48 and 76.53 respectively. Conclusively, taste masked orodispersible formulation of oxybutynin chloride was developed that could be beneficial for geriatric population.

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.

Orally disintegrating tablets (ODT) disintegrate quickly with saliva when administered into the oral cavity and taken without water or chewed. ODT are easy to take for children and the elderly, who may experience difficultly in taking ordinary oral preparations such as tablets, capsules, and powders.  The ODT threes substantial benefits for the patient (or elder) who cannot swallow (Dysphagia), or who is not permitted water intake due to disease. The reason of the current research was to prepare taste masking oral disintegrating tablets of poorly soluble lornoxicam (LXM) by direct compression technique using Kyron T-114 (cation exchange resin) as a taste masking agent. With in various ratios the Drug-resin of 1:4 was established to present best taste masking. The superdisintegrants used in formulation are croscarmellose sodium and cross povidone. Among these croscarmellose sodium demonstrated superior drug release. The tablets were evaluated for friability, weight variation, wetting time, hardness, disintegration time and uniformity of content. Optimized formulations were evaluated for in vitro dissolution test. Amongst all the formulations F-6 was found to be most successful tablets prepared by this technique had disintegration time of 30sec and % CDR 94.78 within 30min. Hence, this advance can be utilized for taste masking of bitter pharmaceutical ingredients leading to superior patient compliance.

In the present work, orodissolving tablets of Efavirenz were prepared by direct compression method with a view to enhance patient compliance. A 23 full factorial design was applied to investigate the combined effect of three formulation variables. Amount of crospovidone, croscarmellose sodium and sodium starch glycolate were used as superdisintegrant material along with direct compressible mannitol to enhance mouth feel. The prepared batches of tablets were evaluated for hardness, friability, weight variation, disintegration time, wetting time, drug content and in-vitro dissolution studies. Based on wetting time, disintegration time, the formulation containing crospovidone (5% w/v), carscarmellose sodium (5% w/v) and sodium starch glycolate (8% w/v) was found to be promising and tested for in-vitro drug release pattern (in 0.1 N HCl), short term stability and drug- superdisintegrants interaction. Surface response plots are presented to graphically represent the effect of independent variables (conc. of superdisintegrants) on the in-vitro dissolution time. The validity of the generated mathematical model was tested by preparing extra-design check point formulation. The formulation showed nearly faster drug release compared to the conventional commercial tablet formulation. Stability studies on the optimized formulation indicated that there was no significant change found in physical appearance, hardness, disintegration time, drug content and in-vitro drug release.

Purpose: To develop orodispersible tablets (ODTs) of fexofenadine hydrochloride using three different superdisintegrants in various ratios and to compare their disintegration properties.Methods: Direct compression technique was used for the preparation of ODTs. Mannitol and Avicel CE-15 (microcrystalline cellulose and guar gum) were used as direct compression diluents. The disintegration time of tablets using each polymer (superdisintegrant) was evaluated as well as othertablet properties including weight fluctuation, hardness, friability, wetting time and water absorption ratio.Results: Satisfactory values were obtained for all the evaluated parameters. As the polymer concentration increased, there was a decrease in disintegration time. A comparison of the three different polymers used revealed that CCM3 formulated with 12 % croscarmellose sodium and 14.66 % lactose had the least disintegration time of 32.33 ± 3.23 s. In vitro release studies showed that the maximum drug release of 94.38 ± 0.12 % in 25 min was obtained for ODT tablets containing croscarmellose sodium (CCM3).Conclusion: The orodispersible tablets had quick disintegrating property which was achieved using superdisintegrants. Thus, superdisintegrants improve the disintegration efficiency of orodispersible fexofenadine tablets at low concentrations, when compared to traditional disintegrants.

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro and in vivo performance of salbutamol sulfate press-coated tablets for delayed release. The in vitro release behavior of press-coated tablets with the outer layer of PEG 6000/ Eudragit S100 blends (2:1) in pH 1.2 (0.1 mol L-1 HCl) and then pH 6.8 buffer solution was examined. Morphological change of the press-coated tablet during in vitro release was recorded with a digital camera. Release of salbutamol sulfate from press-coated tablets was less than 5 % before 3 h and was completed after 8 h in pH 6.8 phosphate buffer solution. In vivo gamma scintigraphy study carried out on healthy men indicated that the designed system released the drug in lower parts of the GI tract after a lag time of 5 hours. The results showed the capability of the system of achieving delayed release of the drug in both in vitro and in vivo gamma scintigraphy studies.
