The aim of this study was to design orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) of Lamotrigine. It is an Antiepileptic drug which is widely used in epilepsy. It is also used in simple and complex partial seizures and secondary generalized tonic-clonic seizures. It is poorly water soluble drug (0.46 mg/ml). Thus, an attempt was made to enhance the water solubility by complexation with β-cyclodextrin (1:1 molar ratios). The orally disintegrating tablet of lamotrigine was prepared by direct compression method using different concentration of superdisintegrants such as Sodium starch glycollate, croscarmellose sodium by sublimating agent such as camphor. The formulations were evaluated for weight variation, hardness, friability, drug content, wetting time, in vitro disintegration time and in vitro dissolution studies. The prepared tablets were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. The disintegration time for the complexed tablets prepared by different concentration of superdisintegrants was found to be in range of 32.54 ± 0.50 to 55.12 ± 0.57 sec and wetting time of the formulations was found to be in range of 28.47 ± 0.67 to 52.19 ± 0.72 sec. All the formulation showed almost 100 percent of drug release within 15 min. Among all the formulation F6 and F7 prepared with 18% croscarmellose sodium and camphor shows faster drug release, respectively 10 min, F6 gives good result for disintegration time, drug release, wetting time and friability. Further formulations were subjected to stability testing for 30 days at temperature of 40 ± 5 ºC/75 ± 5 %RH. Tablets showed no appreciable changes with respect to physical appearance, drug content, disintegration time and dissolution profiles. Results were statistically analyzed by one-way ANOVA at a p < 0.05. It was found that, the data at any point of time are significant at p < 0.05.

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.

The present research work was to evaluate the effect of compression force and concentration of superdisintigrant on tableting properties of metformin HCl. Initially powder mixtures of drug, croscarmellose sodium (0.62% to 10% w/w) and microcrystalline cellulose PH-200 sufficient quantity were prepared and evaluate their pre-compression parameters of different formulation batches such as angle of repose, bulk density, tapped density, Hausner’s ratio and compressibility index. The prepared powder mixtures of different batches were compressed into tablet using hydraulic pellet press machine at two optimized compression forces (77 MPa and 154 MPa). The post compression parameters such as thickness, diameter, weight variation, hardness, friability, drug content, disintegration time and in-vitro drug release study of the prepared tablets were evaluated. FT-IR and DSC studies showed that no incompatibility of the selected drug with the selected excipients. At selected compression force (77 MPa) and increased concentration of superdisintigration (0.62% to 10% w/w) of formulations F1 to F5 indicated that, disintegration time were periodically decreased up to F3 (1.25% w/w croscarmellose sodium). When the concen-tration of superdisintigrant increased up to 10% showed that disintegration time were periodically increased. Similarly, at compression force 154 MPa there is increased in tablet hardness but this effect was less significant when the superdisintegrant concentration more than 1.25% w/w. The hardness and drug content of all the formulations were found to be 3.59 ± 0.23 to 4.85 ± 0.01 kg/cm2 and 97.89 ± 0.10% to 99.42 ± 0.03% respectively. The in-vitro drug release data suggested that drug release of all the formulations followed Higuchi’s kinetic (R> = 0.998). The release rate exponent values (n) suggested the mechanism of drug release followed Quasi-Fickian diffusion mechanism at compression force 77 MPa and anomalous diffusion mechanism at compression force 154 MPa, respectively.
