The aim of the present study was to design and evaluate bilayer tablets of metformin hydrochloride as sustained release form for the treatment of Type-II diabetes mellitus. The basic aim of any Bi-layer tablet formulation is to separate physically or chemically incompatible ingredients and to produce repeat action or prolonged action of tablet. They are many drugs for treating type-II diabetes. Sulphonyl urea and biguanides are used commonly by a wide section of patients. Melt granulation process was used for the formulation of sustained comprising metformin layer and wet granulation of immediate comprising layer of glimepiride. The precompression studies like bulk density, tapped density, angle of repose, compressible index and post formulation studies includes weight variation, hardness, thickness, friability and dissolution study. The in-vitro release profile of Glimepiride was dissolved within 45 min, and Metformin Hydrochloride was able to release more than 12 hrs. They all the formulation was optimized formula due to its higher rate of dissolution and collate all other parameters with the official specifications.

The aim of the present work was designed to develop a model-sustained release matrix tablet formulation for Metformin hydrochloride using wet granulation technique. In the present study the formulation design was employed to statistically optimize different parameters of Metformin hydrochloride tablets at different drug-to-polymer ratios employing polymers Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose of two grades K4M and K100M as two independent variables whereas the dependent variables studied were X60, X120, T50, T90, n, and b values obtained from dissolution kinetics data. The in vitro drug release studies were carried out at simulated intestinal fluids, and the release showed a non-Fickian anomalous transport mechanism. The drug release was found to reveal zero order kinetics. The granules and the tablets were tested for their normal physical, morphological, and analytical parameters and were found to be within the satisfactory levels. There were no significant drug-polymer interactions as revealed by infrared spectra. It has been found out that on an optimum increased Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose K100M concentration and decreased Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose K4M concentration the formulations were elegant in terms of their release profiles and were found to be statistically significant and generable.

Objective: Metformin hydrochloride is a biguanide antihyperglycemic agent which is a generally recommended first-line drug for the treatment of diabetes mellitus (Type II). The purpose of this investigation is to prepare sustained release matrix granules of metformin hydrochloride which are coated to extend the drug release over a longer time period.Methods: Metformin hydrochloride granules were prepared by mixing all the dry powders in a V-cone blender and wetting the powder mix with aqueous solution of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose K100. The prepared granules (MG1-MG5) were investigated for drug release. The batch of granules which exhibited extended release for up to 4 h was coated in a standard coating pan with blends of Eudragit RS and RL to further enhance release period. These were marked as coated metformin granules (CMG3) and CMG4 which were later filled into empty capsules. The granules were characterized for micromeritic properties, percentage yield, particle size distribution, percentage of drug content, and in vitro release of the drug.Results: All the formulations showed percentage yield in the range of 77.66–82.86% and drug content in the range of 78.23–96.62%. CMG3 showed drug release of 97.02% for 12 h. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry studies indicated that no possible interaction existed between the drug and the polymers used. Scanning electron microscopy images revealed that the granules were spherical in shape with smooth surface and completely covered with a coating of polymer. Kinetic analysis of drug release confirmed that drug release followed zero-order kinetics where it is independent of the concentration.Conclusion: From the results, it was analyzed that design of coated granules employing the polymers used in the present work can produce a sustained release of the drug over a period of 12 h.

Abstract Background: Metformin hydrochloride a biguanide derivative has been widely used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes in humans. In veterinary medicine, metformin has been increasing his potential in different species as equids for insulin dysregulation, dogs and cats with diabetes. It is a highly soluble hydrophilic drug, shows incomplete absorption from the gastrointestinal tract and the absolute bioavailability is 40-60 % with a short biological half-life of 1.5-1.6 h in humans. In this study, to improve its efficacy a sustained-release microparticles of metformin was developed by loading within poly lactic acid (PLA) polymer followed by an in vivo pharmacokinetics study in rabbits. Results: Pharmacokinetic study in rabbits showed the sustained-release characteristic from the prepared microparticles with delayed time to reach maximum concentrations Tmax, decreased Cmax, increased Mean Residence Time (MRT) and half-life compared to the pure drug solution. Physicochemical characterization suggested that PLA and metformin hydrochloride interacted within the microparticles via hydrogen bonds and that the drug was transformed to an amorphous state. Conclusions: The The pharmacokinetics parameters resulted in delayed Tmax, increased MRT and t1/2, decreased Cmax of metformin from microparticles that show promise for prolonged/sustained release of metformin after oral administration in different animal species affected by insulin disorders. PLA microparticles provided sustained release of the drug, and these systems can be useful as drug carriers for hydrophilic drugs in long term disease treatment such as diabetes.
