Preparation and evaluation of buccoadhesive films of atenolol

Abstract: This paper describes the preparation of new bilayered device comprising a drug containing mucoadhesive layer and a drug free backing layer. Bilaminated films were produced by a casting/ solvent evaporation technique. The mucoadhesive layer was composed of mixture of drug and sodium alginate with or without carbopol 934 P, and backing layer was made of ethyl cellulose. The double layer structure design was expected to provide drug delivery in a unidirectional fashion to the mucosa and avoid loss of drug due to … Show more

“…In order to ensure unidirectional drug release during the in vivo studies, a backing membrane of ethyl cellulose was adhered to the film. Backing membrane was casted by pouring 5% w/v solution of ethyl cellulose (plasticized using 2% v/v of dibutyl phthalate) onto a petri dish (Satishbabu & Srinivasan, 2008). This layer was allowed to dry similar to as explained for films.…”

“…The impermeable backing membrane is an important part to ensure the unidirectional drug release [9]. Materials with hydrophobicity, low water permeability and drug impermeability properties such as melted wax [10], ethyl cellulose [1,4,11], and Eudragit RL100 [12] have been used as a backing membrane. A wide range of polymers such as hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, carbopol, poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA), and poly (vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) [13][14][15][16][17] have been employed as a matrix and mucoadhesive layer in buccal patches.…”
