objective(s) the aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of production of ibuprofen pellets with high amount of rate retarding polymer by aid of peg400 as plasticizer. materials and methods polyethylene glycol (peg400) in concentrations of 1, 3 or 5% w/w with respect to eudragit rl was used in production of pellets containing 60% ibuprofen and 40% excipient (2% polyvinylpyrrolidone...

A novel experimental pHand time-dependent colonic drug delivery system was prepared and its in vitro and in vivo performances were evaluated. The colonic delivery system consists of minitablets with a big swelling capacity coated with an inlet retardant layer insoluble at all pH ranges but permeable (Eudragit RS 30D) and an outlet layer, insoluble and impermeable at acidic pH but easily soluble...

This research focuses on the development of enteric microparticles of lansoprazole in a single step by employing the spray drying technique and studies the effects of variegated formulation/process variables on entrapment efficiency and in vitro gastric resistance. Preliminary trials were undertaken to optimize the type of Eudragit and its various levels. Further trials included the incorporati...

Background Glaucoma is a serious eye disease that can lead to loss of vision. Unfortunately, effective treatments are limited by poor bioavailability of antiglaucoma medicine due to short residence time on the preocular surface. Materials and methods To solve this, we successfully prepared novel controlled-release ion-exchange microparticles to deliver betaxolol hydrochloride (BH). Montmorill...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the suitability of Raman spectroscopy as a Process Analytical Technology (PAT) tool for the in-line determination of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) concentration and the polymer-drug solid state during a pharmaceutical hot-melt extrusion process. For in-line API quantification, different metoprolol tartrate (MPT)--Eudragit® RL PO mixtures, conta...

PURPOSE The objective of this study was to prepare a suitable form of nanofiber for indomethacin using polymers Eudragit RS100 (ERS) and Eudragit S100 (ES) and to evaluate the effect of some variables on the characteristics of resulted electrospunnanofibers. METHODS Electrospinning process was used for preparation of nanofibers. Different solutions of combinations of ERS, ES and indomethacin ...

The objective of this study was to determine if a high Tg polymer (Eudragit(®) S100) could be used to stabilize amorphous domains of polyethylene oxide (PEO) and hence improve the stability of binary polymer systems containing celecoxib (CX). We propose a novel method of stabilizing the amorphous PEO solid dispersion through inclusion of a miscible, high Tg polymer, namely, that can form strong...
