the objective of the current study was to develop and optimize a sublingual tablet formulation of captopril which is an effective drug in the treatment of hypertension. captopril containing tablets were prepared by direct compression method using different ingredients such as polyvinyl pyrrolidone, starch 1500, sodium starch glycolate and lactose (independent variables) and magnesium stearate, ...

Development of a lyophilized orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) that enhanced the in vitro dissolution and in vivo absorption of nimesulide (NM), a drug with poor solubility and poor bioavailability, is presented. The ODTs were prepared by freeze-drying an aqueous dispersion of NM containing a matrix former, a sugar alcohol, and a collapse protectant. In addition, different disintegration accel...

In this study, mouth-disintegrating tablets of atenolol and atorvastatin combination were formulated using superdisintegrants to impart fast disintegration. Fifteen formulations were prepared based on different concentrations of two superdisintegrants, croscarmellose sodium and Kyron-T134. Three different techniques such as direct compression, effervescent and sublimation were used to study the...

In modern clinical practice, combination fixed - dose tablets have become a baseline foreffective therapy in many clinical conditions. The Hydrochlorothiazide (Hctz) (12.5mg) /Lisinopril (Lis) (10 mg) tablet is a combination drug for treatment of hypertension. In thisstudy, the tablets were prepared by wet granulation method and characterized in terms of weightvariation, hardness, friability, d...

Tizanidine HCl is a centrally acting α-2 adrenergic agonist muscle relaxant with a slightly bitter taste having short half-life of 2.5 h. In the present study effect of co-processed excipient bases in formulation of orodispersible tizanidine HCl tablets by direct compression method was investigated. Co-processed excipient of microcrystalline cellulose with SSL-hydroxypropylcellulose was prepare...

Effective repair of peripheral nerve defects is difficult because of the slow growth of new axonal growth. We propose that "neural-like cells" may be useful for the protection of peripheral nerve destructions. Such cells should prolong the time for the disintegration of spinal nerves, reduce lesions, and improve recovery. But the mechanism of neural-like cells in the peripheral nerve is still u...

The aim of this study was to prepare Spherical agglomerates of Carbamazepine by Quesi-Emulsion Solvent Diffusion system (QESDS) with Ethanol-Chloroform-Water system. Granules were prepared by wet granulation method with different excipients.The prepared agglomerates were evaluated for flowability, compressibility, wettability, packability and solubility. Tablets were prepared and evaluated for ...

A fast-disintegrating dosage form has been developed as a user-friendly formulation that disintegrates in the mouth immediately. Patients can take it without water like a liquid formulation. In this study famotidine taste-masking technology was applied to the new fast-disintegrating tablet in an attempt to produce a novel, taste-masked, fast-disintegrating tablet. Partial granulation was found ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion can lead to ischemic white matter injury resulting in vascular dementia. To characterize white matter injury in vascular dementia, we investigated disintegration of diverse white matter components using a rat model of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion. METHODS Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion was modeled in Wistar rats by permanent occlusion of...
