Gastro retention using polymer cocoons

Abstract: A gastro-retentive capsule has been prepared which is retained in the stomach for a period of 24h, providing a vehicle for the controlled delivery to the upper intestines. These "gastro cocoons" can resist passage through the sphincter of the stomach, and can retain a high drug payload (30%). They are made from oppositely charged polyelectrolytes and can swell to twice their initial volume. They are strong and also can resist 550 N of compressive force. They are based on filled pharmaceutical capsules which ar… Show more

“…The GRT of expandable delivery systems may be enhanced [73]. In order for the system to function well, three main designs must be addressed: restricted space for simple oral intake, increased shape in the belly to restrict passing it via the valve, and system quantity reduction upon total dose forms to assist outflow [27,28,74]. The ability of this mechanism to restrict the valve makes it helpful.…”

“…By a pushing activity, the pylorus goes about as a siphon for gastric purging; and assumes a signi icant part in gastric home time. The motility example of the stomach is typically called the moving engine complex (MMC); it is diverse for the fasting and taken care of state (Arnold and Hunkeler, 2015). It comprises of different cycles, the length of each cycle is 90-120 min and it contains four stages, as referenced in (Figure 1).…”

“…Swelling and expandable systems (or "plug type systems" due to their pyloric sphincter blocking attribute) have achieved significant success both in vitro and in vivo in order to retain the dosage form in the stomach [11]. Once the polymer meets the gastric fluid, it absorbs water and swells [12]. The selection of a polymer with the appropriate molecular weight and swelling properties is crucial to enable the dosage form to exhibit sustained-release behavior.…”
