The objective of present research was to design, evaluate and compare drug release from two different dosage forms in pulsatile drug delivery system (DDS) for Metoprolol tartarate (MT) as tablet and capsule. Pulsatile systems are gaining a lot of interest as they deliver the drug at the right site of action at the right time and in the right amount, thus providing spatial and temporal del...

The IP3R calcium release channel has been simulated using a stochastic simulation algorithm (SSA;Gillespie algorithm) and De young-Keiser model. A set of different concentration for Cat' and IP3 havebeen used. Considering the Number of molecules in each state, a non linear behavior of the system can beseen clearly. The inhibiting role of the Ca+2 on the open state (X110) has been studied. The d...

this study was performed to design bilayer regioselective floating tablets of atenolol and lovastatin to give immediate release of lovastatin and sustained release of atenolol. bilayer floating tablets comprised two layers, i.e immediate release and controlled release layers. the immediate release layer comprised sodium starch glycollate as a super disintegrant and the sustained release layer c...

In this study,formulation of sustained-releasingmatrix tablet of bupropion 150 mg, using hydroxypropylmethylcellu lose(HPMC) 4000cps was evaluatedwith the aim of reducing the frequency of daily dose. The level of HPMC4000 ,polyvinylpyrolidone(PVP) and magnesium stearate(Mg St)was varied based on a 2level 3 factor factorial experimental designusing the release rate of the drug from the matrices ...

Extended-release (XR) formulations enable less frequent dosing vs. conventional (e.g., immediate release (IR)) formulations. Regulatory registration of such formulations typically requires pharmacokinetic (PK) and clinical efficacy data. Here we illustrate a model-informed, exposure-response (E-R) approach to translate controlled trial data from one formulation to another without a phase III tr...

DSM-PM2 is a platform for designing, implementing and experimenting multithreaded DSM consistency protocols. It provides a generic toolbox which facilitates protocol design and allows for easy experimentation with alternative protocols for a given consistency model. DSM-PM2 is portable across a wide range of clusters. We illustrate its power with figures obtained for different protocols impleme...

the aim of this study was to develop a derivative of chitosan as pharmaceutical excipient used in sustained-release matrix tablets of poorly soluble drugs. a water-soluble quaternary ammonium carboxymethylchitosan was synthesized by a two-step reaction with carboxymethylchitosan (cmcts), decylalkyl dimethyl ammonium and epichlorohydrin. the elemental analysis showed that the target product with...

the purpose of this study was to design and optimize an oral controlled release acyclovir mucoadhesive tablet, in term of its drug release and mucoadhesive strength. a 32 full factorial design was employed to study the effect of independent variables like carbopol-934p and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose k100m, which significantly influence characteristics like swelling index, ex-vivo mucoadhesiv...
