Sustained Release of a Water-Soluble Drug from Alginate Matrix Tablets Prepared by Wet Granulation Method

Abstract: Abstract. Alginate matrix tablet of diltiazem hydrochloride (DTZ), a water-soluble drug, was prepared using sodium alginate (SAL) and calcium gluconate (CG) by the conventional wet granulation method for sustained release of the drug. The effect of formulation variables like SAL/CG ratio, drug load, microenvironmental pH modulator, and processing variable like compression force on the extent of drug release was examined. The tablets prepared with 1:2 w/w ratio of SAL/CG produced the most sustained release of t… Show more

“…8. Impact on gel layer thickness development by the polymer erosion rate for drug release also increases over time due to tablet cracking and lamination at acidic pH (23,24). Hence, a 28% change in S/V of the 120-mg strength showed negligible influence on drug release rate compared with the 240-mg strength.…”

“…At pH 4.5 and 6.8, sodium alginate hydrates and swells rapidly, forming a gel layer surrounding the tablet. Unlike matrices consisting of low viscosity grade HPMC, the gel layer development of alginate is significant (23,24). However, it is interesting to note that drug release at pH 4.5 was essentially governed by polymer erosion in spite of high drug solubility.…”

“…For F3 slight colour change was seen after 45 days at accelerated condition, but no further defects were seen till 60 days. 16,17 Marketed preparation was also tested for stability in similar conditions for 60 days. After 45 days slight colour change was observed at room temperature and accelerated conditions.…”

“…), chemical cross-linking (with glutaraldehyde, epichlorhydrin), and ionic cross-linking (with Ca +2 , Ba +2 , Al +3 ions), offers many new functional properties to meet their needs in design of drug delivery system (3). Several polysaccharides such as alginate (4,5), guar gum (6, 7), katira gum (8), tamarind gum (9), and pectin (10,11) have been derivatized and/or cross-linked to have tailor-made products of various types for drug delivery devices.…”
