the aim of this study was to develop a derivative of chitosan as pharmaceutical excipient used in sustained-release matrix tablets of poorly soluble drugs. a water-soluble quaternary ammonium carboxymethylchitosan was synthesized by a two-step reaction with carboxymethylchitosan (cmcts), decylalkyl dimethyl ammonium and epichlorohydrin. the elemental analysis showed that the target product with...

a sustained-release tablet formulation should ideally have a proper release profile insensitive to moderate changes in tablet hardness that is usually encountered in manufacturing. in this study, matrix aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) tablets with ethylcellulose (ec), eudragit rs100 (rs), and eudragit s100 (s) were prepared by direct compression. the release behaviors were then studied in two co...

in the present investigation an attempt has been made to increase therapeutic efficacy, to reduce frequency of administration and to improve patient compliance by developing a sustained release matrix tablets of isosorbide-5-mononitrate. sustained release matrix tablets of isosorbide-5-mononitrate were developed by using different drug: polymer ratios, such in f1 (1:0.75), f2 (1:1), f3 (1:1.5),...

the purpose of this work was to develop once daily sustained release (sr) matrix tablets of naproxen, an anti-inflammatory agent. the tablets were prepared by wet granulation method along with hydrophilic matrix materials like methocel k 15m cr and methocel k 100m cr. the granules were evaluated for bulk density, angle of repose, compressibility index, total porosity and drug content. the table...

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-3 and...

In this study,formulation of sustained-releasingmatrix tablet of bupropion 150 mg, using hydroxypropylmethylcellu lose(HPMC) 4000cps was evaluatedwith the aim of reducing the frequency of daily dose. The level of HPMC4000 ,polyvinylpyrolidone(PVP) and magnesium stearate(Mg St)was varied based on a 2level 3 factor factorial experimental designusing the release rate of the drug from the matrices ...

an oral sustained-release floating tablet formulation of metformin hcl was designed and developed. effervescence and swelling properties were attributed on the developed tablets by sodium bicarbonate and hpmc-peo polymer combination, respectively. tablet composition was optimized by response surface methodology (rsm). seventeen (17) trial formulations were analyzed according to box-behnken desi...
