Sustained ophthalmic delivery of gatifloxacin fromIn situgelling system

Abstract: The poor bioavailability and therapeutic response exhibited by conventional ophthalmic solutions due to rapid precorneal elimination of drug may be overcome by the use of in situ gel-forming systems that are instilled as drops India into the eye and undergo a sol-gel transition in the cul-de-sac. The present work describes the formulation and evaluation of an ophthalmic delivery system of an antibacterial agent, gatifloxacin, based on the concept of ionactivated systems. Sodium alginate was used as the gelling… Show more

“…These gel matrices are also capable of releasing and prolonging the residence time of drugs in a controlled manner (Doijad et al, 2006). In situ gels are administered through oral, injectable, rectal, ocular, vaginal and intra-peritoneal routes (Hatefi & Amesden, 2002).…”

“…The preliminary batches of 0.05% Epinastine hydrochloride were formulated using Carbopol 974, HPMC E-50LV, Benzalkonium chloride, buffering agent and disodium edetate 5 . The batches were evaluated for in vitro in situ gelation in Artificial Tear Fluid (ATF) and for viscosity to optimize the concentration of Carbopol 974 and HPMC E-50LV for final formulation as shown in Table 1.…”
