Abstract:

The objective of the present study was to prepare controlled release formulation of Moxifloxacin hydrochloride ocular nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were prepared by solvent displacement method using Eudragit RL 100 as a polymer. Different formulations were prepared by varying the ratios of drug and polymer and varying the ratios of organic and aqueous phase. The formulations were evaluated in terms of particle size, FTIR, drug entrapment efficiency and in vitro drug release profile was examined. The anti bacterial activity against gram positive and gram negative bacteria were determined. In vivo studies were carried out by Draize test. The mean particle size for drug loaded formulations was found to be below 200 nm. The zeta potential remained in the range of positive values for all batches +10 mV to +40mV. The formulation possesses good antibiotic activity against Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilus and Staphylococcus aureus microorganism and no eye irritation on in-vivo testing.

Design and evaluation of moxifloxacin hydrochloride ocular inserts.

The objective of the present investigation was to prepare and evaluate ocular inserts of moxifloxacin. An ocular insert was made from an aqueous dispersion of moxifloxacin, sodium alginate, polyvinyl alcohol, and dibutyl phthalate by the film casting method. The ocular insert (5.5 mm diameter) was cross-linked by CaCl2 and was coated with Eudragit S-100, RL-100, RS-100, E-100 or L-100. The in v...

Formulation & Evaluation of Gemcitabine Hydrochloride Loaded Solid Lipid Nanoparticles

INTRODUCTION Gemcitabine hydrochloride is an antimetabolite (pyrimidine analog) with poor oral bioavailability (9%) due to the first pass metabolism. GEM is a water soluble drug (log p = -1.4) with a short half-life of 42 to 94 minutes (short infusions) and 245 to 638 minutes (long infusions) respectively. Extensive first pass metabolism, low bioavailability, high dosing frequency and less half...
