The aim of the present study was the determination of formulation factors and the in vitro evaluation of an extended release dosage form of a freely soluble weakly basic drug (alfuzosin hydrochloride). Binary mixer of one hydrophilic polymer (hydroxypropylmethylcellulose) and one directly compressible Eudragit (RS PO) was used in tablets prepared by direct compression. The amounts of both polym...

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Different dextran esters with various degrees of substitution (1, 2 and 3) were synthesized by esterification reaction, with three acid anhydrides: acetic anhydride, propionic anhydride, and butyric anhydride, separately. These modified polysaccharides were characterized by FT-IR, H NMR and C NMR spectroscopies. Enzymatic degradation of biopolymers by dextr...

A time dependent pulsed release system consisting of an effervescent core surrounded by consecutive layers of swelling and rupturable polymers was prepared and evaluated. The cores containing salbutamol sulphate as bioactive agent were prepared by direct compression method using different ratios of microcrystalline cellulose and effervescent agent and then coated sequentially with an inner swel...

The purpose of this study was to design novel drug delivery system containing Lornoxicam microsponges. Lornoxicam is a Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug used for the treatment of various inflammatory diseases. Microsponges containing Lornoxicam and Eudragit RS 100 were prepared by quasi emulsion solvent diffusion method. The effects of drug to polymer ratios on physical characteristics of th...

The aim of the present study was to develop Exemestane loaded polymeric nanoparticles for improved oral bioavailability of Exemestane. Exemestane loaded nanoparticles were prepared by solvent displacement method with Eudragit RL 100 and Eudragit L 100 as polymers and Pluronic® F-68 as surfactant. The influence of various formulation factors (drug: polymer ratio and concentration of surfactant) ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Both adhesive and nonabrasive embolic agents are available for arteriovenous malformation (AVM) embolization. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a novel ethanol-based nonadhesive liquid embolic material in a swine AVM model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eudragit (copolymer of methyl and butyl methacrylate and dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) was dissolved in 50% ethanol...

Purpose: To study the release behaviour of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride tablet matrices prepared with different polymers in dissolution media pH. Methods: Different formulations slow-release matrix tablets were polymers, namely, ethyl cellulose (Etc), hydroxyethyl (Hec), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (Hpc), and Eudragit® L-100 (Eud) using embedding technique. The characterized studies their prof...

The aim of this work was to develop a pulsatile release system with metoprolol for chronotherapeutical use by coating swellable mini-tablets with Eudragit RS. To study the influence of the formulation factors (amount of coating polymer, plasticizer percentage in film coating and swelling agent percentage in mini-tablets), a Box-Behnken design of experiment (DoE) was used. To evaluate the influe...
