Extrusion-spheronization of pH-sensitive polymeric matrix pellets for possible colonic drug delivery
Krogars K Heinämäki J Vesalahti J Marvola M Antikainen O Yliruusi J 《International journal of pharmaceutics》2000,199(2):187-194
The aim of this study was to investigate extrusion-spheronization pelletization for preparing pH-sensitive matrix pellets for colon-specific drug delivery. The effects of three independent variables (amounts of Eudragit S, citric acid and spheronizing time) on pellet size, shape (roundness and aspect ratio), and drug release were studied with central composite design. The pellets contained ibuprofen as a model drug, citric acid as a pH-adjusting agent, Eudragit S as a pH-sensitive binder and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC). The pellets were prepared with Nica extrusion-spheronizing equipment and subsequently enteric-coated using an air-suspension technique. Eudragit S as a pH-sensitive matrix former in pellets increased the pellet size and influenced pellet roundness. In small amounts Eudragit S increased pellet roundness but in larger amounts pellet roundness was reduced. Citric acid promoted the pelletization process resulting in a narrower area distribution. The pH-sensitive matrix pellet failed to delay the drug release. The combination of citric acid and enteric coating, however, delayed the drug release for 15 min in a pH 7.4 phosphate buffer. 相似文献

Combination of time-dependent and pH-dependent polymethacrylates as a single coating formulation for colonic delivery of indomethacin pellets 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The objective of this study was to evaluate the combination of pH-dependent and time-dependent polymers as a single coating for design of colon delivery system of indomethacin pellets. Eudragit S100 and Eudragit L100 were used as pH-dependent polymers and Eudragit RS was used as a time-dependent polymer. A statistical full factorial design was used in order to optimize formulations. Factors studied in design were percent of Eudragit RS in combination with Eudragit S and L and coating level. Dissolution studies of pellets in the media with different pH (1.2, 6.5, 6.8 and 7.2) showed that drug release in colon could be controlled by addition of Eudragit RS to the pH-dependent polymers. The lag time prior to drug release was highly affected by coating level. With combination of two factors, i.e. the percent of Eudragit RS and coating level, the optimum formulation was found to be the one containing 20% Eudragit RS, 64% Eudragit S and 16% Eudragit L, and a coating level of 10%. This formulation was reproduced and tested in continuous condition of dissolution, and also separately at pH 7.5. The results of in vitro experiments indicate that the proposed combined time-dependent and pH-dependent polymethacrylate polymer coating may provide a colonic delivery system for indomethacin. 相似文献

体外研究瓜尔胶/乙基纤维素混合包衣小丸的结肠靶向性。以5-氟尿嘧啶为模型药, 采用流化包衣技术以瓜尔胶/乙基纤维素混合物的水/醇混悬液对载药小丸进行喷液包衣。瓜尔胶/乙基纤维素混合包衣小丸的释药行为取决于包衣处方中瓜尔胶与乙基纤维素的比例和包衣厚度。分别以混合包衣液中瓜尔胶与乙基纤维素的比例及包衣增重为自变量, 以T5和T90(药物释放5%和90%所需要的时间)为效应, 进行3×4析因设计/效应面优化, 筛选较优处方。结果表明随着乙基纤维素在衣层中所占比例的增大及包衣厚度的增加, 药物释放时滞增加。当瓜尔胶与乙基纤维素的比例在0.2~0.7, 并且包衣增重在250%~500%时, T5%为5.1~7.8 h, T90%为9.8~16.3 h。并且在释药时滞之后, 进入模拟结肠微菌群酶解作用的释放环境中(pH 6.5)药物释放速度加快, T90%缩短到9.0~14.5 h。由此可以看出适当的瓜尔胶/乙基纤维素混合衣层既可以保护药物顺利通过上消化道而不释放, 达到结肠后药物开始释放, 并且可在结肠微菌群的酶解作用下加速药物的释放, 实现结肠定位释药的目的。 相似文献

Weakly basic drugs and their salts exhibit a decrease in aqueous solubility at higher pH, which can result in pH-dependent or even incomplete release of these drugs from extended release formulations. The objective of this study was to evaluate strategies to set-off the very strong pH-dependent solubility (solubility: 80 mg/ml at pH 2 and 0.02 mg/ml at pH 7.5, factor 4000) of a mesylate salt of weakly basic model drug (pKa 6.5), in order to obtain pH-independent extended drug release. Three approaches for pH-independent release were investigated: (1) organic acid addition in the core, (2) enteric polymer addition to the extended release coating and (3) an enteric polymer subcoating below the extended release coating. The layering of aspartic acid onto drug cores as well as the coating of drug cores with an ethylcellulose/Eudragit L (enteric polymer) blend were not effective to avoid the formation of the free base at pH 7.5 and thus failed to significantly improve the completeness of the release compared to standard ethylcellulose/hydroxypropyl cellulose (EC/HPC)-coated drug pellets. Interestingly, the incorporation of an enteric polymer layer underneath the EC/HPC coating decreased the free base formation at pH 7.5 and thus resulted in a more complete release of up to 90% of the drug loading over 18 h. The release enhancing effect was attributed to an extended acidification through the enteric polymer layer. Flexible release patterns with approximately pH-independent characteristics were successfully achieved. 相似文献

The purpose of the study was to (i) prepare the chitosan/Kollicoat SR 30D film-coated pellets for colonic drug delivery, and (ii) evaluate the colonic delivery and efficacy of these coated pellets in the rat. The pellets were coated to different film thickness with chitosan/Kollicoat SR 30D formulations. In vitro drug release was assessed in simulated gastrointestinal (GI) tract conditions. Biodistribution of aminosalicylates (5-ASA) in GI tract and plasma was measured after oral administration of coated or uncoated 5-ASA pellets. Efficacy of the coated or uncoated 5-ASA pellets was tested in 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced rat colitis model. Healing of induced colitis was assessed by measuring the myeloperoxidase activities, colon wet weight/body weight, and damage score. The coating was susceptible to bacteria digestion, resulting in an increase in the release of 5-ASA from the coated pellets. After administration of the coated pellets, the drug concentration in the large intestine was higher than those of uncoated pellets. In plasma, the observed mean Cmax from the coated pellets was significantly lower than that of the uncoated pellets. Chitosan/Kollicoat SR 30D film-coated pellets could deliver the 5-ASA to the targeted site, providing effective treatment for inflammatory bowel disease. © 2009 Wiley-Liss, Inc. and the American Pharmacists Association J Pharm Sci 99:186–195, 2010 相似文献

The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of talc and triethyl citrate (TEC) on stabilizing the drug release rates following curing and storage at elevated temperature of pellets coated with an aqueous acrylic polymeric dispersion. Core pellets containing anhydrous theophylline (20%), microcrystalline cellulose, and polyvinylpyrrolidone were prepared by extrusion-spheronization. The aqueous dispersions were prepared by adding up to 30% TEC as a plasticizer and talc up to 200% as an antiadherent to a mixture of Eudragit RS 30D/RL 30D (95:5). The theophylline pellets were coated in a fluidized-bed coating unit and then cured at elevated temperatures. Theophylline pellets were successfully coated with the Eudragit dispersions that contained up to 200% talc, based on the dry polymer weight, and the coating efficiency was greater than 93%. Our results demonstrated that the polymer, which was plasticized by TEC, was able to function as a film-forming agent for dispersions containing high levels of talc. No sticking of the coated pellets was observed during the coating process or during the curing or equilibrating phase, even with high levels of TEC in the film. The dissolution rate of theophylline from the coated pellets was delayed when the film coating dispersion contained high levels of talc. Additionally, the stability of the drug release profiles from the coated pellets after storage was significantly improved. Furthermore, a modified dissolution testing used to simulate mechanical stresses that may be encountered in vivo showed the film coated pellets would have sufficient strength. The results of this study demonstrated that high levels of film additives in the acrylic dispersion contributed to the stabilization of the drug release rates as well as the reproducibility of the coating process. 相似文献

Statistical optimisation of diclofenac sustained release pellets coated with polymethacrylic films 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The objective of the present study was to evaluate three formulation parameters for the application of polymethacrylic films from aqueous dispersions in order to obtain multiparticulate sustained release of diclofenac sodium. Film coating of pellet cores was performed in a laboratory fluid bed apparatus. The chosen independent variables, i.e. the concentration of plasticizer (triethyl citrate), methacrylate polymers ratio (Eudragit RS:Eudragit RL) and the quantity of coating dispersion were optimised with a three-factor, three-level Box-Behnken design. The chosen dependent variables were cumulative percentage values of diclofenac dissolved in 3, 4 and 6 h. Based on the experimental design, different diclofenac release profiles were obtained. Response surface plots were used to relate the dependent and the independent variables. The optimisation procedure generated an optimum of 40% release in 3 h. The levels of plasticizer concentration, quantity of coating dispersion and polymer to polymer ratio (Eudragit RS:Eudragit RL) were 25% w/w, 400 g and 3/1, respectively. The optimised formulation prepared according to computer-determined levels provided a release profile, which was close to the predicted values. We also studied thermal and surface characteristics of the polymethacrylic films to understand the influence of plasticizer concentration on the drug release from the pellets. 相似文献

Three pelletized porous aluminosilicate ceramics were obtained commercially and their potential to act as extended release drug delivery systems was assessed. The pellets were drug loaded using a vacuum impregnation technique. Factors such as the concentration of the loading solution and the porosity and bulk density of the ceramic influenced the drug loading. The release of drug from the pellets was extended as the drug was entrapped within their porous interior. The rate of release was influenced by the porous microstructure of the pellets and the physicochemical properties of the drug. Extrusion-spheronization was used to prepare pellets similar to the porous ceramics. The pellet formulations contained an aluminosilicate clay mineral (kaolin or halloysite), ethylcellulose 100?cps, ethanol and varying quantities of sucrose. The latter two components acted as pore forming agents. Diltiazem HCl was loaded into the pellets and its release was extended. The release rate could be modified by changing the quantity of sucrose included in the initial formulation, as this influenced the porous microstructure of the pellets. In halloysite-based products the release was further extended due to entrapment of the drug within the halloysite microtubules. Porous kaolin-based pellets were also prepared by cryopelletization. This involved freezing droplets of an aqueous suspension containing kaolin, sodium silicate solution and sodium lauryl sulphate. The resulting pellets were freeze-dried, which removed ice from them to leave pores behind. The pellets gave extended drug release with the release rate being influenced by the porous microstructure of the pellets and their microclimate pH. 相似文献

Compression coating is one of the approaches for delaying the release of drugs. The aim of this study was to develop colon-specific compression coated systems of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) for the treatment of colorectal cancer using xanthan gum, boswellia gum and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) as the coating materials. Core tablets containing 50 mg of 5-FU were prepared by direct compression. The coating of the core tablets was done using different coat weights (230, 250, 275 and 300 mg) and different ratios (1:2, 2:1, 1:3, 1:7 and 3:4) of boswellia gum and xanthan gum and different ratios (1:1, 1:2, 2:1, and 2:3) of boswellia gum and HPMC. In-vitro release studies were carried out using simulated gastric and intestinal fluids, with and without rat caecal contents. Among the different ratios used for coating with boswellia:xanthan gum combination, ratio 1:3 gave the best release profile with the lowest coating weights of 230 mg (7.47 +/- 1.56% in initial 5 h). Further increase in the coat weights to 250, 275 and 300 mg led to drug release of 5.63 +/- 0.53%, 5.09 +/- 1.56% and 4.57 +/- 0.88%, respectively, in the initial 5 h and 96.90 +/- 0.66%, 85.05 +/- 1.01% and 80.22 +/- 0.35%, respectively, in 24 h. When coating was carried out using different ratios of the combination boswellia gum and HPMC, the ratio 2:3 gave the best results among the initial trial batches (7.80 +/- 0.57% in 5 h). Increasing the coat weights to 250, 275 and 300 mg led to drug release of 6.5 +/- 0.27%, 3.70 +/- 2.3% and 2.99 +/- 0.72%, respectively, in the initial 5 h and 96.90 +/- 0.66%, 85.05 +/- 1.01% and 80.22 +/- 0.35%, respectively, in 24 h. In-vitro studies were further carried out in the presence of 2% w/v rat caecal contents, which led to complete release of the drug from the tablets. Therefore, this study lays a basis for use of compression coating of 5-FU as a tool for delaying the release of the drug, which ensures better clinical management of the disease. 相似文献

Biodegradable polymers for colon-specific drug delivery 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This review focuses on the colonic drug delivery, especially using biodegradable polymers i.e. guar gum, chondroitin sulfate, pectin, starch and amylose, dextran, chitosan, inulin. Basics of colon-specific targeting, formulation aspects, microflora influence and application of cross-linking techniques and polymer mixtures for targeting drugs into the colon are presented. Adventages and disadventages of colon-specific drug delivery are also described. A number of polymers is important in the context of colon-specific drug delivery. Considerable progress has been made over last three decades in this area. Although extensive investigations have to be done in the area of microflora endogenous ecosystems and enzymatic science, immunoactivity of biopolymers, and absorption enhancers for colonic mucous. Completely synthetic polymers of good swelling properties and sensitive to bacterial enzymes are also possible in the close future. 相似文献

Engineered polymers have been utilized for developing advanced drug delivery systems. The development of such polymers has caused advances in polymer chemistry, which, in turn, has resulted in smart polymers that can respond to changes in environmental condition such as temperature, pH, and biomolecules. The responses vary widely from swelling/deswelling to degradation. Drug-polymer conjugates and drug-containing nano/micro-particles have been used for drug targeting. Engineered polymers and polymeric systems have also been used in new areas, such as molecular imaging as well as in nanotechnology. This review examines the engineered polymers that have been used as traditional drug delivery systems and as more recent applications in nanotechnology. 相似文献

The pH-sensitive drug delivery systems could be triggered by a mild acidic environment, such as that occurring in solid tumors, inflammatory tissues and intracellular endosomal compartments. Moreover, the cytoplasmic delivery of internalized macromolecules (such as oligonucleic acid, siRNA, DNA, proteins and polymer–antibody complex) will be possible. Synthetic polymers – such as polyanions (acrylic acid derivatives) and polycations (poly ethylenimine and chitosan complexes) – are among the most popular compounds studied for intracellular trafficking of drugs. As research is progressing in the area of cytoplasmic delivery, many novel and innovative applications making use of the unique properties of pH-sensitive polymers are expected in the future. 相似文献

Genetic engineering methodology offers the ability to synthesize protein-based polymers with precisely controlled structures. Protein-based polymers synthesized by recombinant techniques have a well-defined monomer composition and sequence, stereochemistry, and a narrow molecular weight distribution. The structure of the polymeric carrier at the molecular level influences its biological disposition and drug release profile. Current methodologies of polymer synthesis (chemical polymerization) result in the production of polymers with heterogeneous molecular weights, and with monomer sequences and compositions defined in terms of statistical distributions. Genetic engineering methodologies can be used to design new polymeric drug carriers with improved properties, such as better-defined biorecognition, pharmacokinetic, biodegradation, and drug release profiles. In this review article the rationale and methodology of polymer synthesis using genetic engineering techniques, the status of such polymers in drug delivery to-date, and the potential of these polymers for the development of new systems in the future are discussed. 相似文献

Pectin-based hydrogel carriers have been studied and shown to have promising applications for drug delivery to the lower GI tract, especially to the colonic region. However, making sure these hydrogel carriers can pass through the upper GI tract and reach the targeted regions, after oral administration, still remains a challenge to overcome. A solution to this problem is to promote stronger cross-linking interactions within the pectin-based hydrogel network. The combined usage of a divalent cation (Ca2+) and the cationic biopolymer oligochitosan has shown to improve the stability of pectin-based hydrogel systems – suggesting that these two cross-linkers may be used to eventually help improve pectin-based hydrogel systems for colonic drug delivery methods. 相似文献

High pressure homogenization can be employed to produce drug nanocrystals with a number of advantages, like improved solubility behaviors, better drug targeting or even increased mucoadhesiveness. To obtain a controlled drug delivery system it is necessary to transform the resulting nanosuspension into a solid dosage form. The present study shows the feasibility to use a mucoadhesive nanosuspension of poorly soluble hydrocortisone acetate produced by high pressure homogenization as layering dispersion in a fluidized bed process, followed by the application of an enteric coating to achieve a controlled drug release. To point out the advantages of drug nanocrystals the new fomulation was compared with a formulation containing micronized drug. Both formulations were characterized with regard to their particle size and crystallinity by using laser diffractometry, photon correlation spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The pellet morphology was characterized by using the environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM). In the in vitro dissolution tests an accelerated dissolution velocity and an increased drug release could be shown for the pellets containing drug nanocrystals. 相似文献
