An oral colon delivery platform based on a novel combination strategy, leveraging multiple physiological characteristics of the intestine, is proposed. The system comprises drug core, water-swellable/soluble inner layer hydrophilic cellulose derivative and an enteric outer (Eudragit® S) containing microbially-degradable polysaccharide (high-amylose starch, Amylo N460), acting synergistically to...

   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 ...

Microcontainers, which are microfabricated cylindrical devices with a reservoir function, have shown promise as an oral drug delivery system for small molecular compounds. However, they never been evaluated against relevant control formulation. In the current study, we prepared microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) microspheres in vitro and vivo testing of SU-8 microcontainers system. Both dosage fo...

OD-PEP (a Fixed dose combination of Pantoprazole and Domperidone) contains Pantoprazole which is chemically sodium 5-(difluoromethoxy)-2-[[(3,4-dimethoxy-2pyridinyl)methyl]sulfinyl]-1H-benzimidazole sesquihydrate and Domperidone which is chemically 5-chloro-1-[1-[3-(2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)propyl]-piperidin-4 -yl]1,3-dihydro-2H-benzimidazol-2-one. OD-PEP capsule is Transparent/Tr...

Author’s E-mail: [email protected] Tel:+964-7702660991 In an attempt to combine the favourite properties of hard gelatine capsules with the protective and controlled release properties of enteric coating to get an appropriately and acceptably formulated enteric coated hard gelatine capsules with pH dependent drug release characteristic. Two hard gelatine capsule sizes were selected i.e. siz...

The present study in formulation and evaluation of Mebeverine hydrochloride micropellets. Mebeverine hydrochloride which is used as a anti spasmodic drug to treat irritable bowel syndrome. The pellets were prepared by pan coating powder layering method by using nonpareil seeds in core pellets and were coated with HPMC K4M, Eudragit S100 and Eudragit L100 in different ratios to form a film coat ...

Pefloxacin mesylate is a flouroquinolone antibacterial drug effective in the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis. The objective of the present work was to develop ocular inserts of pefloxacin mesylate and evaluate their potential for sustained ocular delivery. Reservoir-type ocular inserts were prepared by the film casting technique in teflon coated Petri dishes and characterized in vitro by ...

The present invention relates to multiple-unit tablet dosage forms, which is composed of several subunits (multiparticulates/pellets). Each small multiparticulate further composed of many layers. Some layer contains drug substance; others are rate controlling polymer. The resulting multiple-unit tablet dosage forms of pantoprazole were satisfactory fabricated. Pelletization technique has some a...

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...
