Over past 30 years as the expanse and complication involved in marketing new drug entities have increased, with concomitant recognition of the therapeutic advantages of controlled drug delivery, greater attention has been focused on development of extended or controlled release drug delivery systems. In the present research work an attempt has been made to optimize, formulate and characterize extended-release tablet of Cefaclor. The preformulation studies were performed for the drug (e.g., physico-chemical properties, melting point, solubility etc.). The drug had shown the results under standard specifications. UV spectroscopic analytical method was also performed for quantitative determinations by plotting standard curve. Before this the pure drug was also scanned for the ƛ max value at different concentrations. The pre-compressions parameters and the post compression parameters for the nine formulated tablets were performed. The drug release study of the selected formulations EF3, EF6 and EF9 was performed as those formulations has shown the results within pharmacopoeia limits. The Formulation EF9 was then taken for release kinetic study as it has shown best results among the other three formulations. So, it confirms the drug release by Higuchi diffusion mechanism. From the results, conclusion can be drawn that the formulation consisting 10-12% concentration of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose K4-M with 1% microcrystalline cellulose and 25% of lactose are considered as ideal for the optimized extended-release tablet formulation for Cefaclor. Keywords: Extended release, Cefaclor, Higuchi diffusion mechanism, PBP, bacterial cell wall synthesis.
Besides enormous improvements in drug delivery, oral route has been highly and effectively utilized route of administration. Floating drug delivery that is also known to be low density system is advancement in the class of gastro-retentive drug delivery system. In the present research work, floating drug delivery of Rilpivirine hydrochloride was developed by overcoming various limitations and troubles associated with the drug including poor absorption in intestinal pH and degradation when comes in contact with higher pH environment. [2] Prepared formulations were evaluated for various parameters like friability, hardness, thickness, drug content analysis, floating properties and in-vitro drug release study. Based on the evaluation, concluded that floating drug delivery system is a non-toxic as well as cost-effective technique for the rationale of enhancing bioavailability and absorption of poorly water soluble drugs. The improvement in gastric residence time is a clear sign. It can be able to use in the future for more acidic soluble drugs to enhance solubility and absorption. Keywords: Floating drug delivery, gastric residence time, Rilpivirine, effervescent, NNRTI.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
