The aim of the current investigation was to develop a Sustained release tablet of Donepezil Hydrochloride using nongelling polymer in order to overcome the problem of dose dumping. Viscarin GP-209 was used as a non-gelling release modifying agent. The formulated granule blends were evaluated for powder properties. Prepared tablets were subjected to post compression evaluations. In-vitro dissolu...

The establishment of biorelevant and discriminating dissolution procedure for drug products with limited water solubility is a useful technique for qualitative forecasting of the in vivo behavior of formulations. It also characterizes the drug product performance in pharmaceutical development. Lornoxicam, a BCS class-II drug is a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug of the oxicam class, has no of...

The present study describes the development and validation of a dissolution method for delapril (DEL) and manidipine (MAN) combination tablets, using a simulated absorption profile based on in vivo data for MAN. The suitable in vitro dissolution profile for this formulation was obtained using 900 mL of citrate buffer pH 3.2 at 37 °C±0.5 °C as dissolution medium and USP apparatus 2 (paddle) at 7...

Domperidone Maleate (DOM), an antiemetic drug, has been used in treatment of adults and children. It has low aqueous solubility and hence low bioavailability. In present study, an attempt has been made to enhance the solubility of DOM by inclusion complexation with Hydroxypropyl-βCyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) using kneading technique and formulation of fast disintegrating tablets by using Sodium Starc...

Tablet in tablet formulation, containing Aceclofenac (API) in core tablet and coated with hydroxylpropyl cellulose (HPC) was evaluated for time drug release with predetermined lag time and subsequent rapid release phase. Various types of press coated tablets were prepared using single punch tablet machine. They were evaluated for various physicochemical properties and in vitro dissolution study...

A novel dialysis adapter has been developed for USP apparatus 4 for in vitro release testing of dispersed system dosage forms. This USP apparatus 4 method was optimized and compared with currently used dialysis and reverse dialysis sac methods. Optimization studies for the USP apparatus 4 method showed that release from solution, suspension and liposome formulations was not flow rate limited an...

The purpose of this study was to develop a compaction technique to enhance the solubility, dissolution rate and other physicochemical properties of poorly water-soluble drug indomethacin (IM) with different polymers. The IM was compacted with the different polymers like hydroxy propyl methylcellulose (HPMC), Kollicoat IR, Chitosan, Polyvinyl Pyrrolidone without using any binder and solvent. Pol...

The objective of the present research was to develop a bilayer tablet of propranolol hydrochloride using superdisintegrant sodium starch glycolate for the fast release layer and water immiscible polymers such as ethylcellulose, Eudragit RLPO and Eudragit RSPO for the sustaining layer. In vitro dissolution studies were carried out in a USP 24 apparatus I. The formulations gave an initial burst e...

The present work aims to predict drug release from novel site-specific release isoniazid pellets, in USP dissolution test apparatus 3, using the response surface methodology (RSM). Site-specific release isoniazid pellets were prepared by extrusion-spheronization followed by aqueous coating of Acryl-EZE. RSM was employed for designing of the experiment, generation of mathematical models and opti...

Ibuprofen solid dispersions were prepared by the solvent and fusion-solvent methods using polyethylene glycol (PEG), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), eudragit RS PO, eudragit RL PO and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) as carriers to improve physicochemical characteristics of ibuprofen. The prepared solid dispersions were evaluated for the flowability, solubility characteristics and dissolution be...
