The foremost objective of this research was to compare and evaluate natural super disintegrants with synthetic super disintegrants for the preparation of the orodispersible tablet. Tropisetron hydrochloride is widely used as an antiemetic drug, which is a potential drug candidate for developing an orodispersible tablet for quick onset of action. Various formulations were prepared using different concentrations (5%, 7.5%, and 10%) by direct compression method of natural super disintegrants (Banana power and Cassia tora powder) and synthetic super disintegrants (Croscarmellose sodium, Crospovidone, and Sodium starch glycolate). The compatibility studies between the drug and excipients were carried out using FTIR spectroscopy before tablet formulation. The pre-compression parameters were evaluated for additive properties. Standardization of banana powder was done by various parameters like extractive value, ash value, loss on drying, TLC identification test, etc. Post-compression parameters like hardness, weight variation, friability, thickness, the time required for disintegration, wetting time, the release of drug in-vitro, and in-vitro dispersion time of the tablets were evaluated. The disintegration time and in-vitro drug release of optimized formulation (F2) were found to be 4.66±1.15 secs and 99.25±0.15%. The optimized formulation (F2) was subjected to stability studies (40 C& 75 % RH) for one month. The results were shown that natural super disintegrants require less disintegration time as compared to synthetic super disintegrants. Hence present study reveals that the orodispersible tablets prepared using Banana powder and Cassia tora powder is super disintegrants that shown better appearance and rapid disintegration time.

AbstractIn the present investigation comparison of three different superdisintegrants was carried out by formulating orally disintegrating tablets. Promethazine HCl was used as model drug which is an antiemetic drug. Sodium starch glycolate, croscarmellose and crospovidone were selected as superdisintegrants and each one was used in three different concentrations (2%, 3.5% and 5%). The drug-polymer compatibility was ruled out by FTIR studies. A total of nine formulations (PF1-PF9) were made by direct compression. All prepared formulations were evaluated for weight variation, hardness, friability, drug content, disintegration time, wetting time and in vitro drug release parameters. The results of the evaluation parameters for all the nine formulations of promethazine HCl were within the standard limits. The in vitro drug release for promethazine HCl tablets of all the formulations (PF1-PF9) was carried out using phosphate buffer pH 6.8 as dissolution medium. Among all the formulations the tablets formulated with crospovidone (PF7-PF9) have shown 91.43 - 98.43% (maximum) drug release at the end of 10 min than sodium starch glycolate and croscarmellose, hence from the present work, it concluded that among three superdisintegrants crospovidone is the ideal superdisintegrant for formulating oral disintegrating tablets for promethazine HCl.
