The objective of the present investigation is to attain optimized floating drug delivery system for aceclofenac by determining the effects of some important factors for the prolongation of gastric residence time. Floating microspheres were prepared by solvent diffusion–evaporation method using ethyl cellulose and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose. A central composite design was applied to optimize the formulation. An appropriate balance between the levels of the polymer and stirring speed was imperative to acquire maximum drug entrapment efficiency, sustained release of the drug, floating ability and adequate particle size.

Floating Drug Delivery System

Presently, various approaches have been exploited in the prolongation of gastric residence time which includes floating drug delivery system (FDDS), swelling and expanding systems, bio-adhesive systems, modified shape systems and high density systems. Among various methods, floating drug delivery system is considered to be a predominant method. Gastric emptying of dosage forms is an extremely varying process and ability to extend and control the emptying time is a valuable resource for the dosage forms. This FDDS is having the ability to provides a solution for this purpose. The FDDS is a bulk density system lower than the gastric fluid, so that the rest will float on the stomach contents for a prolonged period of time and allowing the drug to release slowly at a desired rate from the system and intensifies the bio-availability of the drug having narrow absorption window. The main intension of writing this review on floating drug delivery system is to study the mechanism of flotation to acheive the gastric retention and to discuss briefly about the background of FDDS, advantages and disadvantages, application of FDDS and factors affecting the gastric retension time.

Microspheres carrier system made from natural or synthetic polymers used in sustained release drug delivery system. The present study involves formulation and evaluation of floating microspheres of Curcumin for improving the drug bioavailability by prolongation gastric residence time. Curcumin, natural hypoglycemic agent is a lipophilic drug, absorbed poorly from the stomach, quickly eliminated and having short half-life so suitable to formulate floating drug delivery system for sustained release. Floating microspheres of curcumin were formulated by solvent evaporation technique using ethanol and dichloromethane (1:1) as organic solvent and incorporating various synthetic polymers as coating polymer, sustain release polymers and floating agent. The final formulation were evaluated various parameters such as compatibility studies, micrometric properties, In-vitro drug release and % buoyancy. FTIR studies showed that there were no interaction between drug and excipients. The surface morphology studies by SEM confirmed their spherical and smooth surface. The mean particles size were found to be 416-618µm, practical yield of microspheres was in the range of 60.21±0.052% - 80.87±0.043%, drug entrapment efficiency 47.4±0.065% - 77.9±0.036% and % buoyancy 62,24±0.161% - 88.63±0.413%. Result show that entraptmency increased as polymer (Eudragit RS100) conc. Increased. The drug release after 12 hrs. was 72.13% - 87.13% and it decrease as a polymer (HPMC, EC) concentration was decrease.

Floating Systems

The principal objective behind the writing of this article on the floating drug delivery system (FDDS) was to systematize the recent literature with the core process of floatation in acquiring gastric retention. The different strategies used in the development of FDDS by constructing the effervescent and noneffervescent type of floating tablets basis of which is buoyancy mechanism. FDDS is a method to deliver the drugs that are active locally with a narrow absorption window in the upper gastrointestinal tract, unstable in the lower intestinal environment, and possess low solubility with higher pH values. The novel methodologies in FDDS include approaches to design a single unit and multiple-unit floating systems, the physiological and formulation variability affecting gastric retention along with the use of recently invented and developed polymers. This review also focuses on various in vitro techniques and in vivo studies in view of performance and application of floating systems. Floating dosage forms can be delivered in conventional forms like tablets, capsules with the addition of suitable ingredients along with the gas generating agent. This review also throws light on different techniques used in developing floating dosage forms along with current and novel advancements.

Abstract Background: The goal of this study was to develop a gastro retentive floating drug delivery system that would improve site specific activity, patient compliance and therapeutic efficacy.Methodology: Floating microspheres of Miglitol were formulated by double emulsion method using ethyl cellulose and eudragit E100 different weight ratio and PVA as an emulsifier. It has been prepared with respect quantity of polymer concentration and stirring speed to evaluate for % buoyancy, drug entrapment efficiency, particle size drug release rate. Result: The percent of buoyancy, drug entrapment efficiency, particle size, and percentage yield were increased with increase the polymer mixture concentration. Among all formulation batches, F6 showed acceptable results drug entrapment efficiency (86.57%) and buoyancy (94.25%). F10 formulation was prepared to check the predicted and actual factors and compared with optimized formulation F6. The drug release was increased as the polymer concentration was decrease. The kinetic model zero order had the highest regression coefficient value, it was described as a sustained release dosage form. According to ICH guideline accelerated stability studies of F6 and F10 formulations were conducted for 90 days. After 90 days buoyancy and in vitro drug release was performed and the results were F6 and F10 buoyancy was found to be 88.21%, 87.22% and in vitro drug release was found to be 62.87%, 63.51%. Conclusion: The present study, showed compatibility of drug with polymers by FTIR in formulation. Floating microsphere of Miglitol was prepared by double emulsion technique. The F6 Miglitol floating microsphere was optimized formulation demonstrated with excellent drug entrapment performance (86.57%), good floating behaviour (94.25%), and the largest particle size (670µm). The present study concludes that floating based gastro retentive delivery system of Miglitol microspheres has a safe and effective drug delivery system with increased therapeutic efficacy and a longer duration of action.
