Formulation Development and Release Studies of Indomethacin Suppositories

چکیده
Indomethacin suppositories were prepared by using water-soluble and oil soluble suppository bases, and evaluated for in vitro release by USP I and modified continuous flow through bead bed apparatus. Effect of the Tween 80 (1% and 5%) was further studied on in vitro release of the medicament. Release rate was good in water-soluble suppositories bases in comparison to oil soluble suppositories bases. Release was found to be greater in modified continuous flow through bead bed apparatus. When surfactant was used in low concentration then release rate was much greater, as compared to high concentration. When stability studies were performed on the prepared indomethacin suppositories it was found that suppositories made by water-soluble base had no significant changes while suppositories prepared by oil soluble bases, had some signs of instability.

Influence of storage temperature on indomethacin release from fatty-base suppositories in vitro and in vivo.
The release of indomethacin from fatty-base suppositories, which had been stored at a low (4 degrees C) and a high (25-30 degrees C) temperature for about one month, was examined in vitro and in vivo. In the in vivo experiments, the plasma indomethacin levels after administration of suppositories stored at different temperatures were measured in conscious and anesthetized rats. In the in vitro ...

We prepared indomethacin (IM) sustained-release suppositories using sugar ester (SE) as an additive. The suppositories were prepared by the fusion method with IM, SE, and Witepsol H-15 (H-15) and their availabilities in vitro and in vivo were evaluated mainly by the drug release test and the absorption test in rabbits, respectively. The softening point of the suppositories increased with increa...
