Metformin Hcl

The aim of the present study was to develop colon targeted matrix tablets of Metformin HCl using various conc. of selected polymers such as HPMC, Ethyl Cellulose Guar gum and combination of the same. Tablets were prepared by direct compression method and both pre-compression and post- compression parameters for all batches shows in the acceptable ranges. Short term accelerated stability studies was performed according to ICH guidelines temperature of 400±20 and relative humidity of 75%±5% RH to study any physical changes and chemical decomposition of drug, no formulation shown any physical or chemical changes. The compatibility of drugs, polymers and excipients were determined by FT-IR Spectroscopy results showed that the drug was compatible with polymers and all excipients. Dissolution studies were performed for 12 hours study in 1.2 pH for first 2 hrs then in 7.4 pH for next 3hrs followed by 6.8pH phosphate buffer at the temperature of 37±0.50C at 100rpm. The dissolution data so obtained was fitted to various mathematical kinetic models and the drug release followed mixed order and Higuchi’s model. To study release mechanism of drug from matrices the data were fitted to Koresmeyer-Peppas model and the release. In –vitro release profile of Metformin HCl from various polymers showed that drug increasing the conc. of polymers resulted in reduction in the release rate of drug (MTF1 to MTF12). Formulation containing combination of E.C-G.G, HPMC-G.G and E.C-HPMC showed drug release profile for MTF-12 about 38.72% after 12 hrs, MTF-11 about 40.66% after 12 hrs, for MTF-10 about 45.45% after 12 hrs. This is an indicative of retardation of drug release when polymer combination was changed. Results showed that the tablets with higher binding concentration showed minimum drug release. Combination of polymers shows greater retarding of drug release.

 The aim of present study was to design the concept of bilayered tablets containing Glimepride for immediate release using sodium starch glycolate as super disintegrant and Metformin hydrochloride (HCl) for sustained release by using  Hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC K 4M) and Sodium Carboxy Methyl cellulose (SCMC) as the matrix forming polymer, and PVPK-30 as binder. The tablets were evaluated for physicochemical properties. All the values were found to be satisfactory. In vitro release studies were carried out as per USP in pH 1.2 with (0.1% sodium lauryl sulphate w/v) and phosphate buffer pH 6.8 using the apparatus I. The release kinetics of Metformin HCl was evaluated using the regression coefficient analysis. The formulated tablets (F5) shows zero order release and diffusion was the dominant mechanism of drug release. The polymer (HPMC K4M, SCMC) and binder PVPK-30 had significant effect on the release of Metformin HCl matrix tablets (F5). Thus formulated bilayer tablets provided immediate release of Glimepride and Metformin HCl as sustained release over a period of 8 hours.  Stability studies and FT-IR studies clearly indicated that there is no drug –polymer interaction.

<p>Sustained release Carvedilol matrix tablets constituting Kollidon SR were developed in this study in an attempt to investigate the effect of release modifiers on the release profile of Carvedilol from matrix. Three matrix tablet formulations were prepared by direct compression of Kollidon SR in combination with release modifier (HPMC and Microcrystalline Cellulose) and magnesium stearate. Tablets containing only Kollidon SR with the active ingredient demonstrated a rapid rate of drug release. Incorporation of HPMC in the matrix tablet prolonged the release of drug but incorporation of Microcrystalline Cellulose showed superimposable release pattern with an initial burst effect as confirmed by mean dissolution time and Higuchi release rate data. After 7 hours of dissolution, Carvedilol release from the matrix systems were 91.42%, 83.41%, from formulation F1 and F2 respectively. Formulation F3 exhibited 100 % release at 4 hours. All the tablet formulations showed acceptable pharmaco-technical properties and complied with the in-house specifications for tablet weight variation, friability, hardness, thickness, and diameter. Prepared tablets also showed sustained release property for carvedilol. The drug release mechanism from the matrix tablets of F1 and F2 was found to be followed by Fickian and F3 by Non-Fickian mechanism.</p><p>DOI: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/icpj.v1i8.11095">http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/icpj.v1i8.11095</a></p> <p>International Current Pharmaceutical Journal 2012, 1(8): 186-192</p>

The objective of present study was to develop colon targeted drug delivery using bacterially triggered approach through oral route. Valdecoxib (COX-2 inhibitor) was chosen as a model drug in order to target it to colon which may prove useful in inflammatory bowel disease and related disorders. Matrix tablets of Valdecoxib were prepared by wet granulation technique utilizing different ratio of Guar gum and Sodium starch glycholate. The prepared matrix tablets were evaluated for uniformity of weight, uniformity of content, hardness and in vitro dissolution study in simulated gastric and intestinal fluid (Phosphate Buffer pH-1.2, pH-6.8 and pH-7.4), followed by Dissolution study in bio-relevant dissolution media Phosphate Buffer (pH-6.8) containing rat caecal content. The results revealed that the formulated batch had released lesser quantity of drug at pH 1.2 and pH 7.4 in 2 hors whereas in biorelevent dissolution media containing rat caecal content it released significantly higher amount of drug which was also significantly higher than the dissolution media of same pH without caecal content (microflora) and it was concluded that guar gum can be used as a potential carrier for targeting drugs to colon.

Formulation Variables

The matrix tablets of cinnarizine and nimodipine were prepared with varying ratio of Carbopol- 971P and co-excipients of varying hydrophilicity (i.e. dicalcium phosphate and spray dried lactose) by direct compression and wet granulation using alcoholic mucilage. The prepared tablets were evaluated for weight variation, hardness and friability. The influence of concentration of the matrix forming material and co-excipients on the release rate of the drug was studied. The release rate of Cinnarizine (more soluble drug) from tablets followed diffusion controlled mechanism whereas for nimodipine (less soluble drug), the drug release followed case-II or super case- II transport mechanism based on Korsmeyer- Peppas equation. The results indicated that the drug release from matrix tablets was increases with increase in hydrophilicity of drug and co-excipients. The release of drug also increased with thermal treatment and decreasing polymer concentration.

The aim of the present work was to prepare floating tablets of galantamine HBr using sodium alginate and xanthan gum as matrix forming carriers. Galantamine HBr is used for the treatment of mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease and various other memory impairments, in particular those of vascular origin. The matrix tablet formulations were prepared by varying the concentrations of sodium alginate and xanthan gum. The tablets were prepared by direct compression technique using PVP K-30 as a binder and sodium bicarbonate for development of CO2. The prepared matrix tablets were evaluated for properties such as hardness, thickness, friability, weight variation, floating lag time, compatibility using DSC and FTIR. In vitro dissolution was carried out for 12 hrs in 0.1N HCl at 37±0.5 ºC using USP paddle type dissolution apparatus. It was noted that, all the prepared formulations had desired floating lag time and constantly floated on dissolution medium by maintaining the matrix integrity. The drug release from prepared tablets was found to vary with varying concentration of the polymers, sodium alginate and xanthan gum. From the study it was concluded that floating drug delivery system for galantamine HBr can be prepared by using sodium alginate and xanthan gum as a carrier.

The principle in this present research is to formulate Mesalamine containing colon targeted tablets by using different polymers and evaluate the effect of different polymers in drug release pattern. The matrix tablets of Mesalamine are formulated by polysaccharides based polymers like Cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP), Ethyl cellulose (EC), Guar gum (GG) and Xanthan gum (XG) which protects the drug to release in Stomach and Small Intestine. The invitro drug dissolution investigation of F2 (GG and XG) Matrix tablet was controlled by swelling into a viscous gel in colonic pH, which have been accomplished as the best tablet. The optimized tablet F2 was found to be stable in stability study (short term) with reproducible evaluation data, which also shows the highest swelling index, increased viscosity in colonic pH. The drug release pattern from the F2 formulation follows swelling and erosion behavior. From the data it show that F2 tablets suitable for providing colon targeted drug delivery.
