Abstract: Introduction: Microsponges provides a proficient drug delivery system for specific in the upper gastrointestinal tract with high loading capability. But formulation is affected by numerous process and design related factors. The intention of current research work was to formulate optimize floating gastroretentive microsponges glipizide, an antidiabetic drug, minimum number experiments...

the aim of the present work was to assess the feasibility of accononmc8-2ep/nf as a bioadhesive material for developing controlled release gastroretentive microsponges of loratadine. modified emulsion-solvent diffusion method was employed for the preparation of microsponges (f1-f9) based on 32 factorial design. the amount of ethyl cellulose (ec) and polyvinyl alcohol (pva) were selected as inde...

The aim of the present work was to assess the feasibility of Acconon MC8-2 EP/NF as a bioadhesive material for developing controlled release gastroretentive microsponges of loratadine. Modified emulsion-solvent diffusion method was employed for the preparation of microsponges (F1-F9) based on  32 factorial design. The amount of ethyl cellulose (EC) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) were selected...

In this study, xanthan gum-facilitated ethyl cellulose microsponges were prepared by the double emulsification technique and subsequently dispersed in a carbopol gel base for controlled delivery of diclofenac sodium to the skin. Scanning electron microscopy revealed the porous, spherical nature of the microsponges. Increase in the drug/polymer ratio (0.4:1, 0.6:1, 0.8:1, m/m) increased their yi...

Purpose: The purpose of this work was to develop a prolonged microsponge drug delivery system containing dicyclomine. Methods: Dicyclomine-loaded, Eudragit-based microsponges were prepared using a quasi-emulsion solvent diffusion method. The compatibility of the drug with formulation components was established by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR). Pr...

In the present study controlled release formulation of Indomethacin microsponges were prepared by using Eudragit RS 100, pH independent release retardant polymer and PVA, stabilizer or emulsifier. Microsponges were prepared by Quasi emulsion solvent diffusion method by changing drug polymer ratio (3:1, 4:1, 5:1) and process was optimized. Microsponges were evaluated by micromeritic properties, ...

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 present study was aimed to develop and optimize the microsponges of curcumin for colon specific drug delivery in a view to bypass the upper gastrointestinal tract (GIT) for enhanced therapeutic effect. Microsponges were developed by quasi emulsion solvent diffusion method using 3(2) full factorial design. Prepared microsponges were optimized in order to analyze the effects of independent va...

The aim of the present study was to develop and evaluate microsponge based topical delivery system of acyclovir for sustained and enhanced drug deposition in the skin. Microsponges containing acyclovir were prepared by an emulsion solvent diffusion method. The effect of formulation variable such as drug: polymer ratio, stirring speed, internal phase on the physical characteristics of microspong...

The purpose of writing this review on gastroretentive drug delivery systems was to compile the recent literature with special focus on various gastroretentive approaches that have recently become leading methodologies in the field of site-specific orally administered controlled release drug delivery. In order to understand various physiological difficulties to achieve gastric retention, we have...
