Formulation and Evaluation of Almotriptan Malate Nasal Drops
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nasal solutions of almotriptan malate were prepared in phosphate buffer containing different proportions of HPMC E15. In vitro permeation studies were performed using Franz diffusion cell with dialysis membrane and ex vivo permeation studies were carried out using sheep nasal mucosal layer. The formulations were radiolabeled with 99mTc and the nasal residence time was studied in rabbits. Nasal irritation was evaluated in rats. Formulations prepared with HPMC E15 5% w/v did not retard the release of almotriptan. Gamma scintigraphy studies showed increased residence time as compared to plain drug solution. No nasal irritation was observed and the formulations were found stable for 3 months.

Preparation and evaluation of oxytocin SLNs as semi-finished product for nasal drops formulation
Background: Oxytocin is a peptide hormone that increases the secretion of milk, especially after normal delivery. Due to the properties of this peptide hormone, it seems that changing the route of use and changing the release pattern can create a longer duration of action of the drug. Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) are a candidate to achieve these goals, which can be used as a non-invasive me...

A new, simple, precise and accurate high performance thin layer chromatographic method has been proposed for the determination of almotriptan malate in a tablet dosage form. The drug was separated on aluminum plates precoated with silica gel 60 GF(254) with butanol:acetic acid:water (3:1:1) was used as mobilephase. Quantitative analysis was performed by densitometric scanning at 300 nm. The met...

متن کاملAlmotriptan Malate: Early Treatment in Acute Migraine
Almotriptan is a selective serotonin agonist used for the relief of moderate to severe migraine headaches. Clinical trials have begun to evaluate its use in the ‘early’ treatment of migraines, described as when a triptan is administered within 1 hour of the onset of headache for mild pain. These trials have demonstrated higher pain-free rates, decreased recurrence of migraines, and a reduction ...
متن کاملHigh performance liquid chromatographic analysis of almotriptan malate in bulk and tablets.
PURPOSE A simple RP-HPLC method has been developed and validated for the determination of almotriptan malate (ATM) in bulk and tablets. METHODS Chromatographic separation of ATM was achieved by using a Thermo Scientific C18 column. A Mobile phase containing a mixture of methanol, water and acetic acid (4:8:0.1 v/v) was pumped at the flow rate of 1 mL/min. Detection was performed at 227 nm. Ac...
