The present study was carried out to formulate and evaluate Metformin hydrochloride orodispersible tablets by direct compression method using two superdisintegrants i.e., crospovidone and sodium croscarmellose. The produced granules were assessed for some precompression factors such as, bulk density, tapped density, compressibility (Carr's index), angle of repose, Hausner's Ratio and bulkiness. The tablets were prepared in three formulations (F1, F2 and F3) by varying the amount of superdisintegrants. Hardness, friability, wetting time, water absorption ratio, weight variation, disintegration time, and In vitro dissolution test were performed on the tablets. It was observed that F1 demonstrated the best outcome due to the 1:1 concentration of superdisintegrants, whereas F2 showed the highest disintegration time and least in vitro drug release.

Formulation of dispersible nabumetone tablets

September 1998 · Acta Pharmaceutica

Dispersible tablets containing daily dose of nabumetone, an efficient nonsteroidal anti-inflamatory drug (NSAID), were formulated. Due to hydrophobic nature of sparingly water soluble nabumetone, used in amount of 1000.0 mg per dosage unit, most appropriate excipients and technological parameters were carefully sought for the impact of different surfactants, disintergrating agents, binders, ... [Show full abstract] hydrophilic carriers, granulating and tabletting conditions on dissolution and disintegration of the formulation were studied.

FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF MEBEVERINE HYDROCHLORIDE SUSTAINED RELEASE TABLETS

January 2015 · Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical Research

The present research work is aimed to design oral twice a daily sustained release matrix tablets of Mebeverine hydrochloride 135mg, used for treating or preventing spasmodic conditions of the lower gastrointestinal tract which can release the drug for 10 to 12 hours. The tablets were prepared by the Wet granulation method using varying concentrations of sustained release polymers HPMC, Eudragit ... [Show full abstract] and Ethyl cellulose. The compatibility of the polymers was ruled out by FT-IR studies and found to be compatible. Total nine formulations were prepared. The Mebeverine hydrochloride powder and the powder-blends of tablets were evaluated for their physical properties like angle of repose, bulk density and compressibility index and found to have good flow property. The prepared tablets were evaluated for in process and finished product quality control tests including appearance, dimensions, weight variation, hardness, friability, drug content, and in vitro drug release. The dissolution medium used was pH 6.8 phosphate buffer. All formulations showed acceptable pharmaco-technical properties and complied with in-house specifications for tested parameters. The results of dissolution studies indicated all formulations released up to 12hours and formulation containing Ethyl cellulose (5%) i.e. F 7 was the most successful formulation with 96.72% drug release at the end of 12 hours.

"FORMULATION AND IN-VITRO DISSOLUTION ENHANCEMENT OF BLONANSERIN USING LIQUISOLID COMPACTS"

March 2019

Rathi Sanjesh

The present study was to carried out pre-formulation studies for possible drug and excipients interactions and to formulate liquid solid complex using different carriers and disintegrants and to identify Physico-chemical characterization and In vitro drug release study of prepared liquid solid complex. The solubility studies of Blonanserin in presence of PEG were high when compared with Propylene ... [Show full abstract] Glycol and glycerine. The liquisolid technique was found to be a promising approach for improving the dissolution of poorly soluble drugs like Blonanserin. The Dissolution of Blonanserin was significantly increased in liquisolid Formulation compared to the marketed product. The IR spectra indicate there was no interaction between the drug and excipients. The increased dissolution rate may be due to increased wetting and increased surface area of the particles. From the XRD, FT-IR, Drug content & In Vitro dissolution studies of Blonanserin liquisolid compacts it was concluded that the formulation F9 is the best formulation. The powder blend was subjected to various physical characteristics such as bulk density, tapped density, Hausner's ratio, compressibility index. The powder was compressed and the core tablets were evaluated for weight variation, hardness, disintegration time, drug content, dissolution studies, powder analysis like XRD and FT-IR studies is concluded the best formulation is F9.

FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF ORODISPERSIBLE TABLETS OF ACECLOFENAC BY DIRECT COMPRESSION METHOD

March 2022 · Journal of Advanced Scientific Research

Nowadays, Oro dispersible tablets are gaining much importance because it is easily approachable and due to its patient compliance. In this study, Formulation and evaluation of one such tablets of Aceclofenac by direct compression method using super disintegrants like Cross carmellose sodium (CCS) was performed. Due to low water soluble property of aceclofenac, it has poor dissolution and ... [Show full abstract] bioavailability. In order to minimize this property OTD’s are prepared. ODT’s were prepared by direct compression method using super disintegrant i.e Cross Carmellose Sodium (CCS) in different concentrations. The prepared powder blend was subjected to various evaluation studies like pre compression parameters like angle of repose, tapped density, and bulk density. Post compression parameters like weight variation, hardness, friability, drug content, wetting time, disintegration and dissolution studies were performed. The drug excipients compatibility was verified by FTIR. The precompression evaluation studies showed that the prepared powder blend has good flow property. The hardness and friability revealed that it has good mechanical strength with acceptable disintegration time. The optimized formulation indicated good in vitro drug dissolution profile with maximum drug being released at all the time intervals indicates an ideal profile for the development of ODT’s. The results of pre compression studies and post compression along with FTIR are presented.

Matrix release from tablets prepared with aqueous dispersion of an acrylate methacrylate (a water –...

June 2010 · International Journal of Health Research

PURPOSE: To investigate the binder effect of aqueous dispersions of acrylate methacrylates (AMA) copolymer with a view to obtaining matrix (non-disintegrating) tablets with a retard release property. METHODS: Aqueous dispersions of AMA (1-15% w/v) were formed by a coacervation procedure using ethanol (10 ml) as solvent and water (90 ml) as non-solvent for the copolymer. The aqueous dispersions ... [Show full abstract] were used to wet–mass the drug (paracetamol) powder. Resulting granules were compressed to 500 mg tablets using a single punch machine. The tablets were subjected to hardness, friability, disintegration and dissolution tests. RESULTS: The granules formed hard tablets (tensile strength 1 - 2.0 MNm-2) with low friability decreasing from 2 to 1 % as the AMA binder concentration increased from 0.75 to 11.25% w/w. The tablets failed to disintegrate in 3 hr. Drug release generally followed the Higuchi square root of time kinetic (R2 0.95). The AMA binder markedly retarded drug release as reflected by the sharp decrease in the dissolution rate constant from 30 min–2 (AMA, 0.75% w/w) to 9 min–2 (AMA, 11.25% w/w). CONCLUSION: The AMA dispersion is an effective binder, producing matrix tablets with a retard release property controlled by the binder content in the tablets. Keywords: Acrylate methacrylate copolymer; Aqueous dispersions; Matrix tablets, Retard release; Friability index; Tensile strength.

[Show full abstract] K4M, K15M, K100M), PEO, Sodium alginate and sodium bicarbonate as gas generating agent, with a view to deliver the drug at sustained or controlled manner in gastrointestinal tract and consequently in to systemic circulation. Five formulations were prepared and evaluated for compatibility study, buoyancy lag time, total floating time, swelling study, in-vitro disintegration and in-vitro dissolution studies. Formulations were found uniform with respect to thickness (5.04 to 5.07 mm) and hardness (6.3 to 6.6 kg/cm2). The friability (0.29 to 0.37%), weight variation (1.44 to 1.71%) and Drug content (98.73 to 99.23%) of different batch of tablets were found within prescribed limits. Formulation F3 selected as best formulation, shown buoyancy lag time of 39 sec, total floating time of 36 hrs and drug release of 95.90% in a period of 24 hrs. Tablets followed diffusion controlled first order kinetics and nonfickian transport of the drug. FTIR study revealed the absence of any chemical interaction between drug and polymers used.
