Solubility Study

Objective: Most of the drugs are relevant to BSC class II and class IV having solubility problems. Cocrystallization of drug with conformer is an immense approach used to explore the physicochemical properties of drug. The objective of the present work was to design formulate and evaluate the drug cocrystals of poorly soluble drug apremilast (APR) with saccharin. Methods: Cocrystals of APR were prepared using the solvent evaporation technique. The saturated solubility study and in vitro dissolution study of cocrystals were carried out. The prepared cocrystals were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The topical gel of APR cocrystals was formulated optimized and evaluated using three-level factorial design. Results: The cocrystals of APR were prepared in 1:1 molar ratio with saccharin. APR cocrystals showed the improvement in solubility and dissolution as compared to pure APR. The formation of cocrystals was confirmed from change in endothermic peak of DSC and from shifting of FTIR spectra of cocrystals. Crystallinity of cocrystal was confirmed from XRD pattern and noteworthy change in 2θ values of the intense peak. The topical gel of APR cocrystals was formulated and optimized using three-level factorial design using Carbapol-940 and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) as a gelling agent. Conclusion: The cocrystals with altered physicochemical properties of APR were prepared with saccharin and formulated as a topical gel to overcome the problems related to oral administration.

Poloxamer 188

Objective: The current research focuses on solubility enhancement of poorly water-soluble drug telmisartan, using novel superdisintegrants such as Entada scandens seed starch and Poloxamer-188. Starches yielded from plants are pharmaceutically useful as binders, diluents, disintegrants, and lubricants.Methods: Starches were extracted from E. scandens seed powder using alkali method (sodium hydroxide at 0.1%, 0.25%, and 0.5% concentrations) and water. These starches were subjected for the evaluation of various physicochemical properties and phytochemical tests.Results: The phytochemical tests revealed the presence of only starch in all the extracts. Of all the starches, the starch prepared from 0.5% sodium hydroxide (ESS4) showed best physicochemical properties. Solid dispersions were prepared using telmisartan, poloxamer-188, and starch (ESS4) in various concentrations using fusion technique. Various pre-formulation parameters were evaluated. From in vitro dissolution studies, it was observed that the solid dispersion formulation TP7 containing telmisartan and poloxamer-188 in 1:4 ratios showed better dissolution rate. Solid dispersion TPS7 containing TP7 formulation and 15% w/w of alkali extracted starch showed faster disintegration and enhanced dissolution rate than the solid dispersions prepared alone with poloxamer-188. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetric studies for optimized formulations revealed that there were no major interactions between the drug and excipients. X-ray diffraction studies revealed the crystalline and amorphous nature of formulations.Conclusion: Thus, the solid dispersions prepared using E. scandens seed starch revealed the superdisintegrant property of starch.

Form Development

The main purpose of development pharmaceutical dosage form is to find out the in vivo and in vitro behavior of dosage form. This challenge is overcome by implementation of in-vivo and in-vitro correlation. Application of this technique is economical and time saving in dosage form development. It shortens the period of development dosage form as well as improves product quality. IVIVC reduce the experimental study on human because IVIVC involves the in vivo relevant media utilization in vitro specifications. The key goal of IVIVC is to serve as alternate for in vivo bioavailability studies and serve as justification for bio waivers. IVIVC follows the specifications and relevant quality control parameters that lead to improvement in pharmaceutical dosage form development in short period of time. Recently in-vivo in-vitro correlation (IVIVC) has found application to predict the pharmacokinetic behaviour of pharmaceutical preparations. It has emerged as a reliable tool to find the mode of absorption of several dosage forms. It is used to correlate the in-vitro dissolution with in vivo pharmacokinetic profile. IVIVC made use to predict the bioavailability of the drug of particular dosage form. IVIVC is satisfactory for the therapeutic release profile specifications of the formulation. IVIVC model has capability to predict plasma drug concentration from in vitro dissolution media.

Biological Half Life

Fluvastatin sodium is a novel compound used as cholesterol lowering agent which acts through the inhibition of 3- hydroxyl-3- methyl glutaryl- coenzyme A (HMG-Co A) reductase. It has short biological half life (1-3h) in humans required a dosing frequency of 20 to 40mg twice a day. Due to its short variable biological half life it has been developed to a sustained gastroretentive system with a natural and synthetic polymer and to study how far the natural mucilage improves the sustained activity. Floating tablets were prepared by direct compression method using in combination of natural mucilage and synthetic polymer. Prior to the preparation of tablets the physical mixtures were subjected to FT IR studies and pre compression parameters. After preparation of tablets they were subjected to various tests like swollen index, drug content, In vitro dissolution and release kinetics with pcp disso software etc. The tablets prepared by direct compression shown good in thickness, hardness and uniformity in drug content, the prepared tablets floated more than 12h except FS1 and FS2 shows 9 and 11h. Swollen index studies shows with increase in concentration of polymer the swelling increases the diffusion path length by which the drug molecule may have to travel and cause lag time. In vitro results shows that on increasing the amount of hibiscus polymer the sustain activity is increased because of its integrity and forms a thick swollen mass and reduces the erosion property of the HypromelloseK100M, kinetic studies shows that FS 1, FS2, FS3 followed the Korsmeyer peppas model and the rest FS 4, FS 5, FS6 follows the zero order respectively. Based on n value indicating that the drug release followed super case II transport mechanism due to the erosion of the polymer.
