In this study, attempts were made to evaluate the effect of various acrylic acid based Carbopols on the release profile of a beta-adrenoreceptor blocking drug, propranolol HCl, from matrix-type tablets invitro. For this purpose, tablets containing 160 mg of propranolol HCl along with various amounts of Carbopols 934 (C934), 971 (C971), 974 (C974) and Pemulen (Pem) were prepared using the wet gr...

Throughout the years, the main focus of the research activity was the applicability of different types of carboxyvinyl polymer, commercially available as Carbopols. Given the fact that the PhD thesis focused mostly on development of cutanous gel formulations, based on two traditional (Carbopol 940 and Carbopol 980) and one newly developed carboxyvinyl-type polymer (Ultrez 10), further research ...

the influence of various polymers on the release rate of lithium carbonate from matrix-type tablets was investigated in an attempt to formulate a sustained release solid dosage form. for this purpose, tablets containing 450 mg of lithium carbonate along with various amounts of carbopol 934p, 971p, 974p, pemulen and eudragit rlpo as retarding agents and inactive ingredients (e.g. pvp, avicel or ...

This study was performed to achieve sustained-release Ibuprofen matrix tablets with a zero-order release kinetic while most of the previous formulations have shown Higuchi release kinetic. Considering the results from previous studies, ethyl cellulose, Carbopol 934P, Carbopol 974P, and Pemulen TR-1 were used at different amounts for preparation of the tablets by direct compression. The release ...

1. The mechanism of interaction of the polyacrylates, carbopols with the mucus barrier in vivo has been investigated in vitro. 2. Carbopol caused a dramatic increase in the viscosity of porcine gastric mucin solutions that was up to 19-fold greater than that of the sum of the individual polymers. 3. The mucin-carbopol interaction was stable after an initial 30 min period for up to 36 h at 25 de...

       Gel dosage forms are successfully used as drug delivery systems considering their ability to control drug release and to protect medicaments from a hostile environment. The aim of this work was to investigate the properties of carbopol 934P polymeric system in water-misible cosolvents such as glycerin and alcohol. Benzocaine is a local anesthetic and the mucosal gel formulation is appl...
