Background: The aim of the present study was to formulate and evaluate floating bioadhesive tablets of Nizatidine which is a competitive, reversible H2-receptor antagonist. Floatingbioadhesive drug delivery system exhibiting a unique combination of floatation and bioadhesion to prolong gastric residence time was prepared. Methods: Polymers used were Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) K15M as matrix forming water swellable release retarding polymer and carbopol 934P as bioadhesive polymer. The gas generating agents used were sodium bicarbonate and citric acid. The prepared floating bioadhesive tablets of Nizatidine were optimized by 32 factorial design to study independent variable X1 (concentration of CP 934P) and X2 (concentration of HPMC K15M) and dependent variables as floating lag time, cumulative percentage drug release at 12h and swelling index. Tablets were evaluated for various parameters such as hardness, friability, drug content, swelling behavior, floating lag time, bioadhesive strength, drug release profile and stability. Results: All the formulations passed the test for weight variation, hardness, content uniformity and showed acceptable results with respect to drug content (97.93 ± 0.57) and % friability. The tablet containing 25% HPMC K15M and 13.75 % Carbopol 934P was selected as optimized formulation which showed the floating lag time of 74.34±2.08 seconds, drug release of 97.03±0.55% at 12 h (R12h,%), S.I as 79.24±0.87 at 9 h and bioadhesive strength as 10.0023±21.47 g. Stability of the formulation was proved using stability study. Conclusion: The formulated tablets have a potential for controlled release of the drug through floatation and bioadhesion.

Polymer Ratio

In present study, matrix tablets of Omeprazole (OPZ) were formulated by wet granulation technique using a combination of hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC K15M) and ethyl cellulose (EC) in varying ratios and the effect of polymer ratio as well as their concentration on drug release profile was investigated. Response surface methodology (RSM) was conducted to optimize matrix tablets. Compressed tablets were evaluated for hardness, friability, weight variation, drug content and in vitro dissolution studies. The dissolution study was performed in pH1.2 for the first 2 h and in phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) for another 5 h. The optimized formulation was compared with other formulations using similarity (ƒ2) and dissimilarity factor (ƒ1) test. The results of RSM indicated that both X1 (the blending ratio of HPMC K15M K15M and Carbopol 934P 934P) and X2 (polymer blend concentration)have significant effect on in-vitro drug release profile. Hardness, friability, weight variation and drug content were found to be in desired range. Among different formulations, matrix tablets prepared by HPMC K15M and Carbopol 934P 934P (7:3) with 15% polymer blend concentration displayed 98.85% OPZ release in 7 hr. and release kinetic was higuchi (r 2= 0.9884). Similarity (f2) and dissimilarity (f1) factors demonstrated that the in vitro profiles were not similar. Finally, it was concluded that release rate of OPZ decreased proportionally with increasing polymer ratio (HPMC K15M: Carbopol 934P 934P) and decreasing polymer blend concentration.

The overall objective of the present work was to develop an oral sustained-release (SR) Metformin tablet that is prepared by the direct compression method by using hydrophilic hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) and Guar gum polymer alone as well as in combination at different concentrations. Metformin is a biguanide that has a relatively short plasma half-life. It has low absolute bioavailability. All the properties were evaluated for thickness, weight variation, hardness and drug content uniformity and in vitro drug release. The mean dissolution time is used to characterize the drug release rate from a dosage form that indicates the drug release-retarding efficiency of the polymer. The hydrophilic matrix of HPMC alone could not control the Metformin release effectively for 12 h but when combined with Guar gum, it could slow down the release of drug and, thus, can be successfully employed for formulating Sustain Release matrix tablets.

Rectal Suppositories

Carvedilol (non-cardio selective b-blocker) is an antihypertensive used in management of hypertension, angina pectoris and heart failure.  But its oral bioavailability is about 25-35% only due to significant degree of first pass metabolism.  It has gastrointestinal side effects such as diarrhea, gastric pain and irritation.  Hence, rectal suppositories of carvedilol were developed by using different water-soluble polymeric bases like gelatin and agar-agar using propylene glycol as plasticizer. The gelatin suppositories were disintegrating/dissolving type while gelatin–agar based suppositories were non-disintegrating/non-melting. All the formulations were evaluated for various physical parameters like weight variation,  drug content uniformity, liquefaction time, micro-melting range, in vitro dissolution, short-term stability and drug-excipient interaction (FTIR).  The mechanism of drug release was diffusion controlled and follows first order kinetics in majority of cases. The results suggested that when gelatin is replaced up to 25% w/w with agar, liquefaction time and drug release were not appreciably affected; higher proportions of agar exhibited incomplete and slow release.  Stability studies conducted at 25±3º C and 60±5% relative humidity for three months indicated that the formulations were stable in the drug-content and in vitro drug release rate (p<0.05).

In order to improve the solubility properties of BCS class II drug itraconazole, fast dissolving oral polymeric film formulations based on itraconazole nanocrystals were produced. Drug nanocrystals were manufactured by the wet pearl milling technique. In polymeric film formulations, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) was used as a film forming polymer, and glycerin was used as a plasticizer. For nanocrystal suspensions and film formulations, thorough physicochemical characterization was performed, including particle sizing and size deviation, film appearance, weight variation, thickness, folding endurance, drug content uniformity, disintegration time, and dissolution profile. After milling, the nanoparticles were 369 nm in size with a PI value of 0.20. Nanoparticles were stable and after redispersion from film formulations, the particle size remained almost the same (330 nm and PI 0.16). The produced films were flexible, homogeneous, fast disintegrating, and drug release rate from both the nanosuspension and film formulations showed immediate release behavior. Based on the study, the film casting method for production of itraconazole nanocrystal based immediate release formulations is a good option for improved solubility.
