The aim of this investigation was to develop and optimize bisoprolol fumarate matrix tablets for sustained release application by response surface methodology based on 2(3) factorial design. The effects of the amounts of calcium alginate, HPMC K4M, and Carbopol 943 in bisoprolol fumarate matrix tablets on the properties of bisoprolol fumarate sustained release matrix tablets like drug release a...

the objective of the present study was to design an oral controlled drug delivery system for sparingly soluble diclofenac sodium (dcl) using guar gum as triple-layer matrix tablets. matrix tablet granules containing 30% (d1), 40% (d2) or 50% (d3) of guar gum were prepared by the conventional wet granulation technique. matrix tablets of diclofenac sodium were prepared by compressing three layers...

frequent dosing of the potent anti-androgen, flutamide, is necessary to reach a therapeutic level for the treatment of prostatic carcinoma. sustained delivery of the drug could reduce the adverse effects such as gastrointestinal disorders and improve patient compliance. in the present study sustained-release matrix tablets of flutamide were prepared by direct compression method using different ...

       The purpose of this review article is to characterize all of the parameters regarding the types, polymers used, and release kinetics of matrix tablets. Matrix system was the earliest oral extended release platform for medicinal use. Matrix tablets are most commonly used methods to modulate the release profile of drugs. They are much desirable and preferred for such therapy because they o...

In this study, attempts were made to evaluate the effect of various acrylic acid based Carbopols on the release profile of a beta-adrenoreceptor blocking drug, propranolol HCl, from matrix-type tablets invitro. For this purpose, tablets containing 160 mg of propranolol HCl along with various amounts of Carbopols 934 (C934), 971 (C971), 974 (C974) and Pemulen (Pem) were prepared using the wet gr...

The present study was carried out to develop oral controlled release matrix tablets and three layer matrix tablets of highly water soluble diltiazem HCl using natural polymers Xanthan gum (XG), locust bean gum (LBG) and a mixture XG: LBG in 1:1 ratio as matrix forming agent, and anionic Sodium Carboxyl Methyl Cellulose as release retardant layer on the matrix core, Di calcium Phosphate (DCP) an...

the present investigation deals with the development of controlled release tablets of salbutamol sulphate using graft copolymers (st-g-pmma and ast-g-pmma) of starch and acetylated starch. drug excipient compatibility was spectroscopically analyzed via ft-ir, which confirmed no interaction between drug and other excipients. formulations were evaluated for physical characteristics like hardness,...

The aim of this study was to investigate swelling and erosion behaviors of hydrophilic matrix tablets using pectin and their impact on drug release. The matrix tablets were prepared by direct compression using different types of pectin. Swelling and erosion studies of pectin matrix tablets were carried out in various media. The pectin matrix tablets formed a continuous gel layer while in contac...

in this study, the effects of various hydrophilic (hpmc and carbopol 971) and plastic (ethylcellulose and eudragit rl100) polymers on the release profile of diltiazem hcl from matrix tablets were evaluated in-vitro. for this purpose, tablets containing 60 mg of diltiazem hcl along with various amounts of the aforementioned polymers were prepared using the wet granulation technique. tablets prep...

The influence of various polymers on the release rate of lithium carbonate from matrix-type tablets was investigated in an attempt to formulate a sustained release solid dosage form. For this purpose, tablets containing 450 mg of lithium carbonate along with various amounts of Carbopol 934P, 971P, 974P, Pemulen and Eudragit RLPO as retarding agents and inactive ingredients (e.g. PVP, Avicel or ...
