Various three-dimensional printing (3DP) technologies have been investigated so far in relation to their potential to produce customizable medicines and medical devices. The aim of this study was to examine the possibility of tailoring drug release rates from immediate to prolonged release by varying the tablet thickness and the drug loading, as well as to develop artificial neural network (ANN) predictive models for atomoxetine (ATH) release rate from DLP 3D-printed tablets. Photoreactive mixtures were comprised of poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) and poly(ethylene glycol) 400 in a constant ratio of 3:1, water, photoinitiator and ATH as a model drug whose content was varied from 5% to 20% (w/w). Designed 3D models of cylindrical shape tablets were of constant diameter, but different thickness. A series of tablets with doses ranging from 2.06 mg to 37.48 mg, exhibiting immediate- and modified-release profiles were successfully fabricated, confirming the potential of this technology in manufacturing dosage forms on demand, with the possibility to adjust the dose and release behavior by varying drug loading and dimensions of tablets. DSC (differential scanning calorimetry), XRPD (X-ray powder diffraction) and microscopic analysis showed that ATH remained in a crystalline form in tablets, while FTIR spectroscopy confirmed that no interactions occurred between ATH and polymers.

The aim of present work was to prepare floating microsphere of ketoprofen using matrix polymer of chitosan and poly (ethylene glycol) by solvent diffusion method. The floating microsphere of ketoprofen was prepared from matrix polymer of chitosan and poly (ethylene glycol) with various composition ratios and evaluated such as particle size, drug compatibility and drug release of microspheres. The scanning electron microscopy of microspheres confirmed their hollow structures with smooth surface. Formulation CPK 4 to CPK 6 exhibited the best controlled release pattern in ketoprofen. The concentration and size of poly (ethylene-glycol) affected the particle size, percentage yield and drug release of microspheres.
