In the present research work, we have designed a pulsatile formulation of Bosentan to treat High blood pressure as per the chronotherapeutic pattern of the disease. Core tablets were prepared by incorporating different concentration of disintegrants and were compressed in between different concentration of polymers. The core and compression coated tablets were subjected to pre-formulation, physicochemical and In-vitro drug release studies. FTIR studies revealed that there was not any chemical reaction between pure drug Bosentan and polymers. The pre and post-compressional parameters of tablets were also found to be within limits. Our optimized formulation F-6 releases Bosentan after a lag time of 2 hours and 98.01 % up to 12 hours. Formulations were stable for at least 3 months under standard long-term and accelerated storage conditions.
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.
