Formulation and In Vitro Evaluation of Extended Release Tablets of Paliperidone Using Natural Gums
author
Abstract:
Paliperidone is a well known dopamine antagonist of the atypical antipsychotic class. In the present study Paliperidone was formulated as ER release tablets using natural and synthetic polymers separately or in combination. The aim of ER release formulation is to reduce the frequency of dosing. Tablets are prepared by direct compression method. The optimized formulations contain Paliperidone as active ingredient and Hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC K100M), Ethyl cellulose, Albizia gum, Moi gum, Karaya gum and Copal gums are used as polymers. The reason for combination of natural and synthetic is to check its compatability and know the impact of each polymer on drug release. The quantity of gums that is used in the formulation is maximum of 60 mg per tablet and the synthetic polymers that are used are also 60mg per tablet. The evaluation parameters include the thickness, weight variation test, drug content, hardness, friability and in vitro release studies. The prepared formulations are F1-F9 and among the formulation F2 follows non-Fickian Transport, with Zero order, Higuchi mechanism and F3, F5 and F8 following First order. The gum Moi (F2), Albizia gum (F3) and Copal gum (F5) in combination with HPMC K100M and Copal gum with Karaya gum (F8) were successful to achieve the extended drug release for 20 hours. Based on the results it was concluded that the natural polymers can be used as an efficient matrix former to provide extended release of Paliperidone. This indicates the usefulness of the formulations for once daily dosage forms. Thus the reducing frequency of dosing increases patient compliance.

Formulation and In Vitro Evaluation of Ofloxacin Tablets using Natural Gums as Binders
Natural gums are economical, easily available, and useful as tablet binders. In the present investigation, an attempt was made to formulate Ofloxacin tablets using three natural binders, namely Acacia arabica, Hibiscus esculentus, and xanthan gum. Such six batches of Ofloxacin tablets were prepared by using different types and amounts of the natural binders by the wet granulation method. The ta...

Abstract The main aim of this study was to prepare and evaluate the extended - release system of an anxiolytic substance. Alprazolam is a short-acting benzodiazepine with general properties similar to those of diazepam. Our studies focused on the development of extended drug delivery system based on Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC 4000cps) as retard agent and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP k30...

The purpose of this study was to develop a new monolithic matrix tablet to completely deliver glipizide in a zero order manner over a sustained period. Two approaches were examined using drug in a formulation that contain polymer like hydroxylpropyl methyl-cellulose K 100 (HPMCK) and Eudragit L 100. The granules were prepared by wet granulation method and thereby formulated as F-1, F-2. F...
