8 / NEED OF STUDY:
The word new or novel in the relation to drug delivery system is a search for something out of necessity. An appropriately designed sustained drug delivery system can be major advance towards solving the problem associated with the existing drug delivery systems1.
The oral route is the most common route used for administration of drugs. In long-term therapy for the treatment of chronic disease conditions, conventional formulations are required to be administered in multiple doses and therefore have several disadvantages2.
Drugs can be administered through different routes; however, of all the routes of administration, oral route is most convenient for administering drugs for systemic effect because of ease of administration by manufacturing and dosage adjustments. Oral route of drug administration has wide acceptable and of the drugs administered orally in solid dosage forms represents the preferred class of products.
Sustained releasedrug delivery system that achieves slow release of drugs over an extended period of time not particularly at a pre-determined rate3.
Sustained release (SR) drug delivery systems are developed to modulate the release ofdrug, in order to achieve specific clinical objectives that cannot be attained with conventional dosage forms. Possible therapeutic benefits of a properly designed SR dosage form include low cost, simple processing, improved efficacy, reduced adverse events and flexibility in terms of the range of release profiles attainable4.
Sustained release dosage forms to complement the pharmaceutical activity of the medicament inorder to achieve better selectivity and longer duration of action5. Sustained release products are helpful to reduce the dose frequency and side effects of drugs and improve patient convenience6.
The main objective of the present study is aimed to develop, formulate and evaluate sustained release dosage form of anti inflamatorytablets by using suitable polymers.
REVIEW OF LITERATURE:
The developed metformin HCL sustained release tablets containing 13% HPMC K100 with binder PVP K30. Their study was undertaken with an aim to formulate, develop and evaluation of metformin sustained release tablets using different polymers as release retarding agent. It was concluded that formulation of sustained release tablet of metformin containing 13 % HPMC K100 with binder PVP K30 was taken as an ideal or optimized formulation of sustained release tablets for 10 hr release as it fulfilled all the requirements for sustained release tablet was reported7.
The sustained release bilayer tablets of metformin HCL and pioglitazone HCL by wet granulation method using different viscosity grade of HPMC (HPMC K4M AND HPMC K100M) as polymers and immediate release layer was prepared by direct compression method using superdisintegrants such as sodium starch glycolate and crosscarmellose sodium. The tablets had been evaluated for physicochemical properties. All the values had been found to be within limit. In-vitro release studies was carried out by using USP type‐2 paddle apparatus. Their result showed that combinations of polymers namely HPMC K100M and HPMC K4M in sustained layer can control the release of drug. Their study concluded that bilayer tablets of pioglitazone HCl and metformin HCl as an alternative to the conventional dosage form8.
Developement and evaluation of sustained release tablets of aceclofenac using hydrophilic matrix system and studied its release rate studies. Their objective of the study was to develop “once daily” sustained release tablets of aceclofenac (200mg) by wet granulation using hydrophilic polymer like hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose K ‐100. The drug excipient mixtures had been subjected to preformulation studies. The tablets had been subjected to physicochemical studies, in- vitro drug release, kinetic studies and stability studies. Their FTIR studies showed there was no interaction between drug and polymer. The physicochemical properties of tablets were found within the limits. Results of their study indicated the suitability of hydrophilic polymers in the preparation of matrix based sustained release formulation of Aceclofenac9.
An oral sustained release metformin tablet was prepared by direct compression method, using hydrophilic eudragit RSPO and RLPO alone or in combination with hydrophobic ethyl cellulose polymer as rate controlling factor. All the batches were evaluated for thickness, weight variation, hardness and drug content uniformity and in-vitro drug release. Mean dissolution time was used to characterize drug release rate from a dosage form and it indicated the drug release retarding efficiency of polymer. When eudragit RSPO and RLPO were used alone as the only retarding polymer, a sustained drug release pattern were not observed while, inclusion of ethylcellulose in the matrix almost doubled (12 h) the time required for releasing the drug. Kinetic modeling of in-vitro dissolution profiles revealed that drug release mechanism was diffusion controlled to anomalous type10.
studied a model system using interferon-α (IFN-α) as the test protein by developing a novel delivery system for proteins based on polyglycerol esters of fatty acids (PGEFs) In an in-vitro release study using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) as a detection method, the matrices prepared from a monoglyceride (used for comparison) and from diglycerol esters exhibited a biphasic release pattern with a large initial burst followed by slow release. In an in vivo release study, initial bursts of IFN-α release were, also, dramatically reduced when the matrices were prepared from the tetraglycerol esters of palmitate and stearate, and the mean residence time (MRT) of IFN-α was prolonged, whereas the matrices prepared from monoglyceride and from diglycerol esters showed large initial bursts of IFN-α release. It was concluded that the bioavailability of IFN-α after implantation of the matrix formulation prepared using all types of PGEFs, except for tetraglycerol triesters, was almost equivalent to that after injection of IFN-α solution; consequently, IFN-α in these matrices appears to remain stable during the release period.
