Preparation and In vitro Evaluation of Naproxen Suppositories

چکیده
The aim of this work was to develop the best formulations for naproxen suppositories. The effects of different bases and surfactants on the physicochemical characteristics of the suppositories were determined by several tests such as weight variation, melting point, assay, hardness, and release rate. All formulations met the standard criteria for tested physicochemical parameters; weight variation (97-112%), content uniformity (97-105%), melting point (4.66-8.7 min) and hardness tests (>5400 g). Based on release rate studies, hydrophilic, and lipophilic bases without surfactants were not suitable bases for naproxen suppository. Amongst the formulations containing surfactants only Witepsol H15 with 0.5% w/w of Tween 80 and Witepsol W35 with 0.5% of cetylpyridinium chloride were suitable and released nearly complete drug during 30 and 60 min, respectively. This study demonstrates the effects of incorporation of known agents on the in vitro release characteristics of naproxen suppository.

Effectiveness of naproxen suppositories on ambulation was studied following laparoscopic sterilization. In a double-blinded randomized placebo study, 20 patients received 500 mg naproxen suppositories and 20 patients placebo suppositories. Postoperatively 10 naproxen patients and 11 placebo patients reported high pain scores, indicating severe pain and requiring opiates. Times to reach street f...

Naproxen is a poor water soluble, non-steroidal analgesic and anti-inflammatory drug. The enhancement of oral bioavailability of poor water soluble drugs remains one of the most challenging aspects of drug development. Although salt formation, solubilization and particle size reduction have commonly been used to increase dissolution rate and thereby oral absorption and bioavailability of low wa...

Background and Aim: Severe pain following cesarean section is a complex physiologic reaction due to distention of gastrocolic regions, tissue impairment, and uterus contractions. This sort of pain can have unfavorable effects on different body systems. There are different drugs and various techniques to decrease such pain, e.g. ordinary oral and injectable analgesics and rectal suppositories ar...

In an attempt to restrict drug absorption from suppositories to only the lower rectum, mucoadhesive lidocaine (LID) suppositories were prepared using WitepsolR H-15 as a base, and CarbopolR 934p (CP) and white beeswax (WAX) as additives. CP has a mucoadhesive property and WAX gives the suppositories stiffness. The suppositories containing 109{(, CP and 20% WAX stayed in the lower recta of rats ...
