Hot-melt blending has been widely used in the pharmaceutical industry to produce drug delivery systems, however, realizing the controlled drug release behavior of a hot-melt blended medicament it is still a tough challenge. In this study, we developed a simple and effective heat treatment method to adjust the drug release behavior, without the addition of any release modifiers. Thin metoprolol tartrate (MPT)/poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) tablets were prepared through hot-melt processing, and different morphologies of MPT were obtained by altering processing temperatures and the following heat treatment. MPT particles with different particle sizes were obtained under different processing temperatures, and fibrous crystals of MPT were fabricated during the following heat treatment. Different morphological structures of MPT adjusted the drug diffusion channel when immersed in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and various drug release behaviors were approached. After being immersed for 24 h, 7% of the MPT was released from the blend processed at 130 °C, while more than 95% of the MPT were released after the following heat treatment of the same sample. Thus, flexible drug release behaviors were achieved using this simple and effective processing manufacture, which is demonstrated to be of profound importance for biomedical applications.

Objective: This study involves the synthesis of Gum tragacanth (gt) based interpenetrating polymer network (ipn) and its utilization for sustained release of anti-ulcerative drug i.e. pantoprazole sodium. Methods: IPN was synthesized from Gum tragacanth, polyacrylic acid (gt-cl-paa) hydrogel. gt-cl-paa was kept in distilled water. Further, acryamide (aam) and methylmethacrylate (mma) was added and then kept for overnight. Later on, lipase and glutaraldehyde were added. Homopolymers and the unreacted monomers were removed using acetone. Synthesized IPN was dried at 50 °C for further study. Synthesized ipn was swelled in water and the drug was added to it. The drug was entrapped in the pores of the synthesized ipn and then drug release behavior was studied using uv-vis spectrophotometer. Results: Gt, paa and mma based crosslinked IPN were synthesized using lipase-glutaraldehyde as initiator-crosslinker system. The synthesized IPN was pH sensitive and possessed the desired swelling capacity required for the controlled and systematic liberation of pantoprazole sodium at 37 °C. The kinetic of drug release was studied and found that lateral diffusion (DL) of drug was higher as compared to the initial diffusion (DI). The prepared IPN can be used as prospective carrier for prolonged drug delivery. Conclusion: A novel pH sensitive and colon targeted IPN was synthesized. It acts as an effective device for the controlled release of drug pantoprazole sodium.

AbstractIn the pharmaceutical manufacturing, drug release behavior development is remained as one of the main challenges to improve the drug effectiveness. Recently, more focus has been done on using mesoporous silica materials as drug carriers for prolonged and superior control of drug release in human body. In this study, release behavior of paracetamol is developed using drug-loaded KCC-1-NH2 mesoporous silica, based on direct compaction method for preparation of tablets. The purpose of this study is to investigate the utilizing of pure KCC-1 mesoporous silica (KCC-1) and amino functionalized KCC-1 (KCC-1-NH2) as drug carriers in oral solid dosage formulations compared to common excipient, microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), to improve the control of drug release rate by manipulating surface chemistry of the carrier. Different formulations of KCC-1 and KCC-NH2 are designed to investigate the effect of functionalized mesoporous silica as carrier on drug controlled-release rate. The results displayed the remarkable effect of KCC-1-NH2 on drug controlled-release in comparison with the formulation containing pure KCC-1 and formulation including MCC as reference materials. The pure KCC-1 and KCC-1-NH2 are characterized using different evaluation methods such as FTIR, SEM, TEM and N2 adsorption analysis.

Developing efficacious drug delivery systems for targeted cancer chemotherapy remains a major challenge. Here we demonstrated a kind of pH-responsive PEGylated doxorubicin (DOX) prodrug via the effective esterification and Schiff base reactions, which could self-assemble into the biodegradable micelles in aqueous solutions. Owing to low pH values inside the tumor cells, these PEG-Schiff-DOX nanoparticles exhibited high drug loading ability and pH-responsive drug release behavior within the tumor cells or tissues upon changes in physical and chemical environments, but they displayed good stability at physiological conditions for a long period. CCK-8 assay showed that these PEGylated DOX prodrugs had a similar cytotoxicity to the MCF-7 tumor cells as the free DOX drug. Moreover, this kind of nanoparticle could also encapsulate small DOX drugs with high drug loading, sufficient drug release and enhanced therapeutic effects toward MCF-7 cells, which will be benefited for developing more drug carriers with desirable functions for clinical anticancer therapy.
