BACKGROUND AND THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Because of its intense bitter taste and susceptibility to moisture Cefetamet Pivoxil (CPH) is presently available only in the form of tablet. The aim of this study was to develop taste masked CPH dry powder suspension. METHODS METHODS EMPLOYED FOR FORMULATIONS WERE: a) Film coating of CPH using Eudragit E100 and subsequent adsorption on different carrie...

Objective: Sonneratia alba leaves were used by the community for traditional medicine to cure muscle pain, back antioxidants, rheumatism, malaria, wounds, tuberculosis (TB) and as a spermicide. S. extract was easy damage because of light exposure, change pH, weather long period storage time. The problem can be solved coating with microencapsulation technique. purpose this research formulate mic...

The aim of the present study was to develop a single unit, site-specific matrix tablets of aceclofenac allowing targeted drug release in the colon with a microbially degradable polymeric carrier, chondroitin suphate (CS) and to coat the optimized batches with a pH dependent polymeric. The tablets were prepared by wet granulation method using starch mucilage as a binding agent and HPMC K-100 as ...

The purpose of this study is to explore the possible applicability of Sterculia urens gum as a novel carrier for colonic delivery system of a sparingly soluble drug, azathioprine. The study involves designing a microflora triggered colon-targeted drug delivery system (MCDDS) which consists of a central polysaccharide core and is coated to different film thicknesses with blends of chitosan/Eudra...

A pH sensitive multi-particulate system intended to approximate the chronobiology of angina pectoris is proposed for colonic targeting. The system comprising of Eudragit S-100 coated pellets was designed for chronotherapeutic delivery of diltiazem hydrochloride. The drug loaded core pellets were produced by aqueous extrusion spheronization technique using microcrystalline cellulose as a spheron...

The main objective of this study was to develop mebeverine hydrochloride colon targeted drug delivery system using compression coating technique for effective treatment of irritable bowel syndrome. This work was mainly focused on the formulation & in-vitro evaluation of compression coated tablets of mebeverine hydrochloride with different pH dependent polymers like Eudragit L100-55, hydroxyprop...

The objective of this research was to design a new colon‐targeted drug delivery system based on chitosan. The properties of the films were studied to obtain useful information about the possible applications of composite films. The composite films were used in a bilayer system to investigate their feasibility as coating materials. Tensile strength, swelling degree, solubility, biodegradation de...

The preparation of the metal surface before coating application is fundamental in determining properties coatings, particularly roughness, adhesion, and corrosion resistance. In this work, chitosan/Eudragit E 100 (chit/EE100) were fabricated by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) both their microstructure investigated. present research aimed at characterizing effects pretreatment titanium substrat...

Floating multi-layer coated tablets were designed based on gas formation. The system consists of a drug-containing core tablet coated with a protective layer (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose), a gas forming layer (sodium bicarbonate) and a gas-entrapped membrane, respectively. The mechanical properties of acrylic polymers (Eudragit RL 30D, RS 30D, NE 30D) and ethylcellulose were characterized by ...

Microwells fabricated from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) were evaluated for their application as an oral drug delivery system using the amorphous sodium salt of furosemide (ASSF) as a model drug. Hot embossing of PLLA resulted in fabrication of microwells with an inner diameter of 240 μm and a height of 100 μm. The microwells were filled with ASSF using a modified screen printing technique, followe...
