Once-daily sustained-release matrix tablets of nicorandil: Formulation and in vitro evaluation

Abstract: The objective of the present study was to develop once-daily sustained-release matrix tablets of nicorandil, a novel potassium channel opener used in cardiovascular diseases. The tablets were prepared by the wet granulation method. Ethanolic solutions of ethylcellulose (EC), Eudragit RL-100, Eudragit RS-100, and polyvinylpyrrolidone were used as granulating agents along with hydrophilic matrix materials like hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and sodium alginate. The granules … Show more

“…It is a recommended first-line drugs in the symptomatic treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, Osteoarthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. Aceclofenac, i.e., 2-{2-{2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino}phenyl}acetyl]oxy]acetic acid, has a short biological half life of approx 4 h and a dosing frequency of 200 mg daily in two divided doses [4][5][6]. Consequently, the drug is a good candidate for sustained release formulation.…”

“…The amount of MCC incorporated in the matrix tablets may have an effect on the deformation of the polymer particles (average particle size of 305 碌m) during compression and therefore affect the porosity of the tablet, with higher MCC concentrations creating a less porous matrix (Tiwari, Dinunzio, Rajabi, 2011). The type of the polymers and the nature of excipients, such as MCC; as well as the physical properties of the granules, such as the specific surface area, shape, and hardness, can significantly affect the rate of dissolution of drugs contained in a formulation (Reddy, Mutalik, Reddy, 2003). In this study, the hardness of all the tablets investigated had no direct effect on drug release.…”
