ABSTRACTObjective: The objective of this study is to develop a controlled release matrix tablet of candesartan cilexetil to reduce the frequency of administration,enhance bioavailability and improve patient compliance; a once daily sustained release formulation of candesartan cilexetil is desirable.Methods: The prepared tablets from F1 to F24 were evaluated with different evaluation parameters like weight variation, drug content, friability,hardness, thickness and swelling ability. In vitro release for all formulas were studied depends on the type and amount of each polymer, i.e. (16 mg,32 mg and 48 mg) respectively beside to the combination effect of polymers on the release of the drug from the tablet.Results: In vitro release showed that formula 13 had the faster release (100% after 4 h) which contained acacia (1:1) and the lowest sustain releasewas showed for F7 (73% after 8 h) which contained HPMC K100M (1:1). Formula 1 was an 89 % release after 8 h which contain eudragit RS100; F4was a 100 % release after 5 h which contain Na CMC, F10 was a 100% after 8 h which contain xanthan gum and F16 was a 100 % release after 5 hwhich contain tragacanth polymer. Formula 9 had a lower release than F7 and F8 respectively. Formula 7 can be used for sustain oral drug delivery ofcandesartan cilexetil while Formula 13 can be used in contrary as fast release tablets for faster response.Conclusion: Controlled drug delivery system is promising for less dosing and higher patient compliance.Keywords: Angiotensin II receptor antagonist, Hypertension, Matrix system, Control release.

Background: Background: Olanzapine belongs to a new class of dual spectrum antipsychotic agents. It is known to show promise in managing both the positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia. Drug delivery systems based on nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) are expected to provide rapid nose-to-brain transport of this drug and improved distribution into and within the brain. Objective: The present study deals with the preparation and evaluation of olanzapine loaded NLC via the intranasal route for schizophrenia. Methods: Olanzapine-NLC were formulated through the solvent injection method using isopropyl alcohol as the solvent, stearic acid as solid lipid, and oleic acid as liquid lipid, chitosan as a coating agent, and Poloxamer 407 as a surfactant. NLC were characterized for particle size, polydispersity index, entrapment efficiency, pH, viscosity, X-ray diffraction studies, in-vitro mucoadhesion study, in- vitro release and ex-vivo permeation studies. The shape and surface morphology of the prepared NLC was determined through transmission electron microscopy. To detect the interaction of the drug with carriers, compatibility studies were also carried out. Results: Average size and polydispersity index of developed formulation S6 was 227.0±6.3 nm and 0.460 respectively. The encapsulation efficiency of formulation S6 was found to be 87.25 %. The pH, viscosity, in-vitro mucoadhesion study, and in- vitro release of optimized olanzapine loaded NLC were recorded as 5.7 ± 0.05, 78 centipoise, 15±2 min, and 91.96 % respectively. In ex-vivo permeation studies, the percent drug permeated after 210 min was found to be 84.03%. Conclusion: These results reveal potential application of novel olanzapine-NLC in intranasal drug delivery system for treatment of schizophrenia.

The aim of the present investigation was to develop a combination of timolol maleate and travoprost niosomal in situ gelling system for the treatment of glaucoma. Niosomes were prepared by thin film hydration technique using rotary flash evaporator. A 32 factorial design was utilized to study the effect of the molar ratio of Span 60 (X1) and cholesterol (X2) on vesicle size, drug entrapment efficiency and in vitro release study. On the basis of vesicle size, maximum entrapment efficiency and in vitro release of drug, best formulations were selected for the preparation of niosomal in situ gel (Drop). On the basis of gelling time and viscosity, optimized ratio of the polymers was selected for the desired preparation. Selected niosomal batches were dispersed in carbopol 940 and HPMC K4M polymer solution (combination IF6) to form in situ gel niosomal formulations (Drop). The gelling time of the niosomal in situ gel (NIF1) was found to be the best (+++) and the viscosity was found to be 1190 cP. Zeta potential, average size analysis, polydispersibility index value was found to be -45.1 mV, 256.5 nm, 0.228 respectively. In vitro drug release was found to be within the range of 50.23 ± 0.54 to 60.23 ± 0.33% over the period of 6 h. IOP lowering activity of best formulation (NIF1) showed more significant and sustained effect than the marketed eye drops. Best formulation (NIF1) was found to be stable, sterile, non irritant and isotonic. Hence niosomal in situ gelling combination system may have the potential of bringing better application than the conventional ocular therapy with improved ocular bioavailability and increased patient compliance.
