       The purpose of this review article is to characterize all of the parameters regarding the types, polymers used, and release kinetics of matrix tablets. Matrix system was the earliest oral extended release platform for medicinal use. Matrix tablets are most commonly used methods to modulate the release profile of drugs. They are much desirable and preferred for such therapy because they o...

frequent dosing of the potent anti-androgen, flutamide, is necessary to reach a therapeutic level for the treatment of prostatic carcinoma. sustained delivery of the drug could reduce the adverse effects such as gastrointestinal disorders and improve patient compliance. in the present study sustained-release matrix tablets of flutamide were prepared by direct compression method using different ...

Hydrophilic matrix tablets (matrices) for oral use are designed to hydrate on swallowing, and form a ‘gel’ layer of hydrated polymer at the tablet surface to control the rate of drug release during passage of the matrix through the gastrointestinal tract. During gastrointestinal transit, the matrices are reduced in size through surface erosion and dissolution. This reduces the probability of ex...

sustained release oral delivery systems are designed to achieve therapeutically effective concentrations of drug in the systemic circulation over an extended period of time. the purpose of the present investigation was to design and evaluate sustained release matrix tablets of nifedipine, a poorly water soluble drug, employing hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose ( hpmc) and ethyl cellulose ( ec) as ...

INTRODUCTION The percolation theory studies the critical points or percolation thresholds of the system, where one component of the system undergoes a geometrical phase transition, starting to connect the whole system.The application of this theory to study the release rate of hydrophilic matrices allows to explain the changes in release kinetics of swellable matrix type system and results in a...

A computer study of the prediction of the protein crystal's shape and polymorphism of crystal's structures within the limits resulting from the exploration of the Miyazawa-Jernigan matrix is presented. In this study, a coarse-graining procedure was applied to prepare a two-dimensional growth unit, where instead of full atom representation of the protein a two-type (hydrophobic-hydrophilic, HP) ...
