The présent works aims to develop controlled release matrix tablet of diclofenac sodium with modified starch cross linked starch urea as an sustained release polymer and to evaluate the prepared dosage form for physical parameters like weight variation, hardness, friability and drug content. Cross linked starch urea is modified starch introducing desirable alterations in the starch structure so...

In this work, starch acetate and propanoate derivatives with moderate degree of substitution were synthesized and characterized for employment as matrix formers for sustained release from tablets. Matrix tablets were prepared from cospray-dried and simple physical mixtures of starch/starch derivatives and theophylline as a model drug. The release was rapid for matrix tablets prepared from simpl...

A novel oral controlled delivery system for propranolol hydrochloride (PPL) was developed and optimized. The in vitro dissolution profiles of sustained-release matrix tablets of racemic PPL were determined and compared with the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) tolerance specifications for Propranolol Hydrochloride Extended-Release Capsules. The influence of matrix forming agents (native dextran...

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...
