Improvement of Drug Release Rate from Carbopol 934P Formulation.

Abstract: Carbopol 934P (CP) is a mucoadhesive polymer which has been investigated as a useful adjuvant for bioadhesive drug delivery system. However, since the drug release rate from the solid formulation of CP is slow, it is difficult to take advantage of the polymer's mucoadhesive property in oral administration of fast-acting drugs. In this study, we prepared freeze-dried sodium salt of CP (FNaCP) in order to improve drug release from the formulation of CP. The drug release rate from the formulation of FNaCP was muc… Show more

“…Improvement of drug release rate from carbopol 934P formulation: Nakanishi T, Kaiho F and Hayashi M having finding that, the carboxyl group of Carbopol is dissociate in the alkaline environment, electrostatic repulsion between negatively charged carboxyl groups causes uncoiling and expansion of molecules resulting in swelling of the polymer and gel formation. The gel is composed of closely packed swollen particles, whose swelling increases with increase in the pH; thus forming thicker and more rigid gel layer 6 . Aminophylline bio adhesive tablets attempted by wet granulation 7 the wet granulation has limited bio adhesion, because wetting of Carbomer and there drying was impossible when their concentration exceed 10 %.…”

“…In the realm of pharmaceutical formulation, several polyelectrolytes (PE) carrying acidic groups are currently used, mainly as suspending or viscosity‐increasing agents in liquid and semisolid formulations1 as well as in components of solid matrices 2–4. Although less attention has been given to the use of acidic PE as carriers of basic drugs, there is increasing interest in their application in this field 5–9.…”

“…Gellan gum (GG) is a linear, anionic exopolysaccharide produced by a non-pathogenic strain of Sphinogomonas elodea . The chain of GG consists of four repeating units of carbohydrate, which include α- l -rhamnose, β- d -glucose, and β- d -glucuronate, in a 1:2:1 molar ratio [ 96 ], whereas Carbopol 934P is a mucoadhesive polymer that has been investigated as a useful adjuvant for bioadhesive drug delivery systems [ 97 ]. Carbopol 934P belongs to a polyacrylic acid resin family known as the carbomers, which is a suitable candidate for usage in drug delivery systems.…”
