The present work involves the formulation development, optimization and In-vitro evaluation of bilayer tablet containing Lansoprazole in the immediate release layer and Amoxycillin in the sustained release layer, using sodium starch glycolate as a super disintegrant for the immediate release layer and the hydrophilic matrix HPMC K100M, hydrophobic matrix Ethyl cellulose are used in the sustained release layer. Bilayer tablet showed as initial burst effect to provide dose of immediate release layer Lansoprazole to control the acid secretion level and the sustained release of Amoxycillin for 24 hours. Immediate and sustained release tablets were formulated by wet granulation method because of the poor flow property of the blends. The prepared bilayer tablet was evaluated for their precompression parameters, physical characteristics like hardness, friability, uniformity of weight, uniformity of drug content, swelling index, In-vitro floating studies and In-vitro drug release. The release of the lansoprazole from the immediate release layer was found to be 97.46 ± 0.15% in 15minutes. The release of Amoxycillin Trihydrate for the sustained release floating layer was found to be 98.25 ± 0.14% in 12 hours. Lansoprazole potentiate the effect of Amoxycillin. Hence the bilayer tablets of Lansoprazole and Amoxycillin were used to improve patient compliance towards the effective management of ulcer. Keywords: bilayer tablet, Lansoprazole, and Amoxycillin, sustained 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.

This study aimed to develop a novel sustained release pellet of loxoprofen sodium (LXP) by coating a dissolution-rate controlling sub-layer containing hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) and citric acid, and a second diffusion-rate controlling layer containing aqueous dispersion of ethyl cellulose (ADEC) on the surface of a LXP conventional pellet, and to compare its performance in vivo with an immediate release tablet (Loxinon®). A three-level, three-factor Box-Behnken design and the response surface model (RSM) were used to investigate and optimize the effects of the citric acid content in the sub-layer, the sub-layer coating level, and the outer ADEC coating level on the in vitro release profiles of LXP sustained release pellets. The pharmacokinetic studies of the optimal sustained release pellets were performed in fasted beagle dogs using an immediate release tablet as a reference. The results illustrated that both the citric acid (CA) and ADEC as the dissolution- and diffusion-rate controlling materials significantly decreased the drug release rate. The optimal formulation showed a pH-independent drug release in media at pH above 4.5 and a slightly slow release in acid medium. The pharmacokinetic studies revealed that a more stable and prolonged plasma drug concentration profile of the optimal pellets was achieved, with a relative bioavaibility of 87.16% compared with the conventional tablets. This article provided a novel concept of two-step control of the release rate of LXP, which showed a sustained release both in vitro and in vivo.
