Coden: Ijpnl6 Development and Comparative Evaluation of Theophylline Loaded Extended Release Capsule

چکیده
The aim of the present study was to develop a new theophylline hard gelatin capsule drug delivery formulation. The formulation have been prepared to enhance its dissolution which could provide better oral absorption of theophylline. Therefore, the effects of the component nature and their proportion in the release rate were investigated. Extended release capsules of theophylline were prepared by physical mixing using HPMC and cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP) at various drug-polymer ratios. Hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC-E50) ratio was changed the release profile of theophyline. The optimum CAP % was selected as 75 % according to in vitro release studies. Flow properties of the F8 physical mixtures were evaluated by calculation of the Carr’s index, angle of repose and Hausner ratio.The results of the study indicate that new extended release hard gelatin capsules can be promising alternative for the other oral formulations of theophylline.

متن کاملDesign, Evaluation and Comparative Study of Pulsatile Release from Tablet and Capsule Dosage Forms
The objective of present research was to design, evaluate and compare drug release from two different dosage forms in pulsatile drug delivery system (DDS) for Metoprolol tartarate (MT) as tablet and capsule. Pulsatile systems are gaining a lot of interest as they deliver the drug at the right site of action at the right time and in the right amount, thus providing spatial and temporal del...
متن کاملDevelopment and in vitro evaluation of extended-release theophylline matrix capsules
Polymers like cellulose (MethocelTM K100MPRCR, K15MPRCR and E4MCR) at different proportions (15-35%) were used to slow the release of theophylline (100 mg) from capsules. Volumetric method for powder filling capsules was used to prepare the capsules. Drug release from capsules was performed using apparatus 1, at 100 rpm and 900 mL of intestinal medium without enzymes (pH 7.5), at 37 °C, followi...
