Variables Influencing Drug Release from Layered Matrix System Comprising Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose

Abstract: Abstract. The purpose of this study was to prepare and evaluate layered matrix tablets of propranolol HCl containing HPMC and phytowax as matrix component using direct compression technique. Layering with this polymeric matrix could prolong the release of drug and shift the release pattern approach to zero order as described from the least square curve fitting. Increasing the amount of coating layer could apparently prolong the drug release. The longer lag time of drug release from one planar apparently when t… Show more

“…It was also observed that F3 with the maximum hardness showed good drug retardation effects, indicating that hardness can also influence the release of the drug up to some extent. 25,26 Friability was also well below the rejection range, that is 1% according to pharmacopoeia and the maximum friability that was calculated was found in F9 were 0.14 ± 0.04. Weight variations were ranged from 349.5 to 351.35 and were within the acceptance region.…”

“…However, a further increase of HPMC ratio resulted in a slight retardation of drug release. This slow release was due to the formation of a thick gel structure that delayed drug release from the tablet matrix, where hydration of the HPMC particles resulted in extensive swelling (19). A thick gel layer result in a considerable increase in the diffusion pathway for the drug molecules, and consequently, the drug release rate was reduced.…”

“…The larger inner tablet indicating a thinner outer layer produced a higher hardness; therefore, the inner tablet played the more important role relating to tablet hardness. Actually, a thicker outer layer should produce higher hardness as previously reported (23). They investigated the physical properties of compressed three-layered tablets where the increasing amount of barrier layer produced higher tablet hardness.…”
