Fast Disintegrating Tablet

Objective: The aim of the present investigation was to design and evaluate orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) of Ibuprofen, a NSAID drug used for the treatment of arthritis with a view to improve its oral bioavailability. The focus of the current study was to develop ODT of Ibuprofen using super disintegrants for ease of administration and its physicochemical characterization.Methods: Tablets were made from blends by direct compression method. All the ingredients were passed through mesh no. 80. All the ingredients were co-ground in a pestle motor. The resulting blend was lubricated with magnesium stearate and compressed into tablets using the Cadmach single punch (round shaped, 8 mm thick) machine.Results: Physicals parameters of the prepared tablets like Hardness, Weight variation, Friability, thickness, drug content etc. found within the limits. The disintegration time of prepared ODTs was in the range of 45 to 55 seconds. In vitro dispersion time was found to be 22 to 52 seconds which may be attributed to faster uptake of water due to the porous structure formed by super disintegrants. Short disintegration and faster release of ibuprofen were observed with Cross carmellose sodium as compared to sodium starch glycollate.Conclusion: It is concluded that F3 offered the relatively rapid release of Ibuprofen when compared with other formulations. The increase in the concentrations of super disintegrants may lead to increase in the drug release. The formulation prepared with cross carmellose sodium was offered the relatively rapid release of Ibuprofen when compared with other concentrations of both the super disintegrant.

The objective of the present work was to develop Gastro retentive dosage forms which would remain in the stomach and upper part or GIT for a prolonged period of time thereby maximizing the drug release at desired site within the time before GRDFs left the stomach and upper part of the GIT, has provoked a great deal of increased interest in the formulation of such drug as floating drug delivery systems. Levofloxacin, (BCS class I) is a fluoroquinolone anti-bacterial agent. The rationale for the formulation of floating matrix tablet are acidic solubility of levofloxacin, residence of Halicobactor pylori mainly in sub region of stomach and the overdosing associated adverse effect due to continuous intake of drug in acute infection. A simple visible spectrophotometric method was employed for the estimation of levofloxacin at 294 nm and Beer’s law is obeyed in the concentration range of 2-10 μg /ml. Floating matrix tablet of levofloxacin was prepared by direct compression method using different polymers like hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC K4) and carbopol 934 as matrix formation polymers, sodium bicarbonate and citric acid was used as gas generating agents. The FTIR spectra of the levofloxacin and other excipients alone and in combination show the compatibility of the drug and excipients. Six formulations of different polymer percentages were formulated (F1-F6). Pre-compression parameters were evaluated. The influence of matrix forming agents and binary mixtures of them on levofloxacin release was investigated. The formulated tablets were characterized by hardness, friability, thickness, weight variation and in vitro drug release. The formulated tablets had acceptable physicochemical characters. The data obtained from the in-vitro dissolution studies of optimized batch F4were fitted in different models. The optimized formulation F4 showed 99.25% drug content and swelling index of 79.85 %. Drug release mechanism was found to be first order kinetics. Levofloxacin floating tablets exhibited increased gastric residence time, there by improved bioavailability and therapeutic effect of the drug.

Glimepiride, a third-generation sulfonylurea is poorly soluble anti-diabetic drug. Currently, the use of natural gums and mucilage is of increasing importance in pharmaceutical formulations as valuable drug excipients. Natural plant-based materials are economic, free of side effects, biocompatible and biodegradable. The development of mucoadhesive sustained release drug delivery system is recommended in order to enhance the bioavailability. A mucoadhesive tablets were developed using the natural polymer sodium alginate and gum tragacanth. Mucoadhesion is a complex phenomenon which involves wetting, adsorption and interpenetration of polymer chains. The tablets of glimepiride were prepared by direct compression method. Pre-compression parameters were evaluated. The tablets were evaluated for post-compression parameters such as thickness, hardness, average weight, friability and In vitro release studies. All the compositions were resulted in adequate pharmacopoeial limits. The varying concentration of polymers was found to affect on in-vitro drug release and mucoadhesive strength. In vitro drug release of gastro retentive tablet of glimepiride shown that the formulation F5 was found to be the best formulation as it releases 98.78%.  Glimepiride in a sustain release manner for an extended period of time (up to 12 hrs). The release data was fitted to various mathematical models such as higuchi, korsmeyer-peppas, first order and zero order to evaluate the kinetics and mechanism of the drug release. Prepared tablets of glimepiride may prove to be a potential candidate for safe and effective controlled drug delivery over an extended period of time for gastro retentive drug delivery system.

Compaction Behavior

The low bioavailability and short half-life of Metformin hydrochloride (MH) make the development of sustained-release forms desirable. Present work involves preparation and optimization of sustained release matrix tablet of MH by direct compression method using HPMC K 100 and ethyl cellulose as a matrix forming polymer. Avicel was added as a direct compaction vehicle to improve the compaction behavior of Metformin which otherwise exhibits poor compaction behavior which again is further increased by its relatively high dose. Hydrophilic matrix of HPMC alone resulted in initial burst of Metformin release, however when combined with ethyl cellulose drug release was slowed down and thereafter it became optimal at particular concentration of polymers.
