Development and in vitro/in vivo evaluations of bioadhesive buccal tablets for nicotine replacement therapy

Buccal bioadhesive tablet formulations of nicotine hydrogen tartrate (NHT) for nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) were developed using chitosan and carbomer at different ratios. Magnesium hydroxide was incorporated into the formulations as pH increasing agent. In vitro release and bioadhesion properties of the tablets were investigated. Release of NHT from the tablets was increased with the increasing amount of chitosan in formulations whilst the bioadhesion of the tablet was decreased. In vivo studies were carried out in healthy, non-smoker volunteers in comparison to a commercially available transdermal patch. Plasma nicotine and cotinine levels were determined using gas chromatography-mass spectrophotometry. No significant difference was found between the maximum plasma nicotine concentrations (Cmax) obtained with the buccal tablet and the transdermal patch (p > 0.05). Time to reach the Cmax was 2.9 +/- 0.2 h and 11.5 +/- 1.3 h, and AUC0-24 values were 59.3 +/- 5.1 ng x h x mL(-1) (0-12 h) and 204.1 +/- 31.2 ng x h x mL(-1) for buccal tablet and transdermal patch, respectively.     

Efficacy of a new ketoconazole bioadhesive vaginal tablet on Candida albicans

To develop more effective treatment for vaginal candidasis, ketoconazole (KTZ) was formulated in bioadhesive tablet formulations that increase the time of contact of drug with the vaginal mucosa. The bioadhesive vaginal tablets delivery of KTZ was prepared by direct compression of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose or polyvinylpyrrolidone or hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC-E(50)). Dissolution studies of bioadhesive tablets and commercial ovules were carried out with a new basket method (horizontal rotating basket). In vitro, a good sustained release action was obtained with bioadhesive tablets containing 1:1 and 1:2 drug/polymer ratio using HPMC-E(50). These bioadhesive tablets containing 400 mg of KTZ showed a zero-order drug release kinetic. KTZ solutions at increasing concentrations (0.16, 0.33, 0.5 and 0.66 mg/ml) were prepared for microbiological trials. These concentrations correspond to 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of KTZ released from bioadhesive tablets, respectively. Yeast mixture was mixed with each concentration of KTZ at ratio of 1:10. One hundred microliters of this mixture was transferred in 900 microl liquid Sabouraud medium after a certain time interval for each concentration of KTZ and incubation at 37 degrees C for 24 h. Then this culture streaked onto Sabouraud-dextrose-agar plates, which were incubated at 37 degrees C for 48 h. The 0.16 and 0.33 mg/ml concentrations of KTZ showed fungistatic effect in 120 min. The 0.5 mg/ml concentration of KTZ was fungistatic in 90 and 120 min; and the 0.66 mg/ml concentration of the drug was fungistatic in 120 min as well as in 180 min. It was found that, in vitro antifungal activity of KTZ was dependent on its concentration and contact time with yeast cells. These results indicated that a new bioadhesive vaginal tablet formulations might be further developed for safe convenient and effective treatment of vaginal candidasis.

A novel ketoconazole bioadhesive effervescent tablet for vaginal delivery: design, in vitro and 'in vivo' evaluation

Bioadhesive tablet formulations of ketoconazole for vaginal delivery were studied. Carbomer (Carbopol 974P, Carbopol 934P), hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC) and hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) were used as candidate bioadhesive polymers. Effervescent was incorporated into the formulations as a disintegration agent. The swelling behavior and bioadhesive strength of the drug-free tablets were investigated. Carbopol 934P was selected as biopolymer in combination with HPMC or HPC at different ratios to develop five drug-loaded formulations. The swellings, tackiness and in vitro release were studied on the tablets. A good sustained effect and a moderate bioadhesion were obtained with the tablets. The formulation containing 100 mg of effervescent, with the Carbopol 934P:HPC ratio of 1:9, seemed to be the optimum one for the tablet. In vivo drug residence tests were carried out by administering the preferred formulation to female rats. The results showed that the drug remaining followed a one-order model. Even after 24 h of administration in vagina of rats, 17% of the original employed drug was retained on the vaginal tissue. Our study may provide a potential vaginal tablet formulation of ketoconazole against Candida albicans.     

Sustained release of acetaminophen from a heterogeneous mixture of two hydrophilic non-ionic cellulose ether polymers

This study examined the release of acetaminophen (APAP) from hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) matrices. The effect of pseudoephedrine (PE) as a co-active, HPMC:HPC ratio, polymer loading, pH of the dissolution media, and compression force on APAP release were studied. Granules formulated with APAP or both APAP and PE, and various blends of HPMC and HPC were compressed into tablets at different compression forces. APAP release from the matrix tablets was not considerably influenced by changes in HPMC:HPC ratio or compression force. The rate of drug release was significantly affected by pH of the dissolution media, total polymer loading, and the presence of PE. Drug release from the formulations containing both APAP and PE was slower than those containing only APAP. Drug release from tablets formulated with APAP only showed an initial burst at pH 1.16 or 7.45. Formulations containing both APAP and PE showed slower drug release at pH 1.16 than at pH 7.4. The drug release data showed a good fit to the Power Law Model. The mechanism of drug release is consistent with a complex behavior. The results of the tablet erosion studies indicated that the amount of APAP released was linearly related to the percentage of tablet weight loss. The kinetics of tablet water uptake was consistent with a diffusion and stress relaxation mechanism.     

Studies on vaginal bioadhesive tablets of acyclovir

Bioadhesive vaginal tablets were prepared using poly(acrylic acid) (PAA); Methylcellulose (MC), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) and hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC) as bioadhesive polymers in different concentrations and acyclovir as drug by direct compression technique (DCT) and wet granulation technique (WGT). Physical tests were applied to the tablets. The swelling behavior of vaginal tablets in distilled water, lactic solution and cow vagina, acyclovir release rate in lactic solution and bioadhesion to vaginal mucosa in cow vagina, in situ, were investigated. Swelling of the tablets containing HPC, CMC and MC was very rapid and caused disintegration of the tablets. The swelling behaviour of the tablets containing HPMC lasted 6 h in lactic solution. The force (N) necessary to detach the tablets from the vaginal tissue was found to depend on concentration and type of the bioadhesive polymer. The tablets containing HPMC needed the most detachment force.     

Use of natural gums and cellulose derivatives in production of sustained release metoprolol tablets

Metoprolol tartrate sustained-release tablets (100 mg) were prepared using xanthan/guar gums and also hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) carboxymethyl-Cellulose (CMC) polymers by direct compression method. Physical characteristics of the tablets and water uptake in addition to their dissolution profiles were compared with standard (Lopressor® SR) tablets. Dissolution test was performed in the phosphate buffer solution (pH 6.8) and the samples were analyzed spectrophotometerically in 275.7 nm. Dissolution studies showed that formulations containing 100 and 80% of HPMC, 100% of guar, and 20% of xanthan followed the Higuchi model, while those containing 60 and 40% HPMC and 100 and 80% xanthan followed a zero-order model. The tablets with 40% xanthen followed a Hixon-Crowell model. In cellulose derivatives the highest MDT and dissolution efficiency until 8 hr (DE₈%) belonged to tablets with 40% HPMC, increasing the amount of CMC decreased the drug release rate, and formulations containing 60 and 40% of HPMC had the USP dissolution standards. While, in the gum formulations, the highest mean dissolution time and the lowest DE₈% belonged to tablets with 100% xanthan, increasing the xanthan decreased the release rate of metoprolol, and formulations containing 80 and 100% xanthan had the USP dissolution standards. Results showed that natural gums are suitable for production of sustained-release tablets of metoprolol.     

Benzydamine hydrochloride buccal bioadhesive gels designed for oral ulcers: Preparation,rheological, textural,mucoadhesive and release properties

This study developed and examined the characterization of Benzidamine hydrochloride (BNZ) bioadhesive gels as platforms for oral ulcer treatments. Bioadhesive gels were prepared with four different hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) types (E5, E15, E50 and K100M) with different ratios. Each formulation was characterized in terms of drug release, rheological, mechanical properties and adhesion to a buccal bovine mucosa. Drug release was significantly decreased as the concentration and individual viscosity of each polymeric component increased due to improved viscosity of the gel formulations. The amount of drug released for the formulations ranged from 0.76?±?0.07 and 1.14?±?0.01 (mg/cm²?±?SD). Formulations exhibited pseudoplastic flow and all formulations, increasing the concentration of HPMC content significantly raised storage modulus (G′), loss modulus (G″), dynamic viscosity (?′) at 37°C. Increasing concentration of each polymeric component also significantly improved the hardness, compressibility, adhesiveness, cohesiveness and mucoadhesion but decreased the elasticity of the gel formulations. All formulations showed non-Fickian diffusion due to the relaxation and swelling of the polymers with water. In conclusion, the formulations studied showed a wide range of mechanical and drug diffusion characteristics. On the basis of the obtained data, the bioadhesive gel formulation which was prepared with 2.5% HPMC K 100M was determined as the most appropriate formulation for buccal application in means of possessing suitable mechanical properties, exhibiting high cohesion and bioadhesion.

Development and in vitro evaluation of buccoadhesive carvedilol tablets

Buccoadhesive tablets of carvedilol were prepared using HPMC K4M, HPMC K15M and Carbopol 934 as mucoadhesive polymers. Fifteen formulations were developed with varying concentrations of polymers. Formulations of the BC or BD series were composed of HPMC K4M or HPMC K15M in ratios of 1:1 to 1:5 whereas in the BE series Carbopol 934 was used (1:0.25 to 1:1.50). The formulations were tested for in vitro drug release, in vitro bioadhesion, moisture absorption and in vitro drug permeation through porcine buccal mucosa. Formulation BC3 showed maximum release of the drug (88.7 +/- 0.4%) with the Higuchi model release profile and permeated 21.5 +/- 2.9% of the drug (flux 8.35 +/- 0.291 microg h(-1)cm(-2)) permeation coefficient 1.34 +/- 0.05 cm h(-1)) through porcine buccal membrane. BC3 formulation showed 1.62 +/- 0.15 N of peak detachment force and 0.24 +/- 0.11 mJ of work of adhesion. FTIR results showed no evidence of interaction between the drug and polymers. XRD study revealed that the drug is in crystalline form in the polymer matrix. The results indicate that suitable bioadhesive buccal tablets with desired permeability could be prepared.

Oral mucosal bioadhesive tablets of pectin and HPMC: in vitro and in vivo evaluation

The potential of tablets containing 1:4, 1:1 and 4:1 weight ratios of pectin and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) for the sustained release of diltiazem by sublingual administration has been investigated. Measurements of maximum adhesive force to rat peritoneal membrane indicated a satisfactory bioadhesive strength. An in vitro sustained release of diltiazem over 5 h was achieved with bilayer tablets composed of a drug-free ethylcellulose layer in addition to the pectin/HPMC layer containing drug. Plasma concentration-time curves obtained following sublingual administration to rabbits of single and bilayer tablets with 1:1 weight ratios of pectin and HPMC showed evidence of sustained release of diltiazem. Bioavailability of diltiazem was 2.5 times that achieved by oral administration for single layer tablets and 1.8 times for the bilayered tablets.     

Sustained Release of Acetaminophen from Heterogeneous Matrix Tablets: Influence of Polymer Ratio,Polymer Loading,and Co-active on Drug Release

ABSTRACT

The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of pseudoephedrine (PE), polymer ratio, and polymer loading on the release of acetaminophen (APAP) from hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC)/polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) matrices. Granules formulated with APAP or both APAP and PE, and various blends of HPMC and PVP were compressed into tablets at varying compression forces ranging from 2000 to 6000 lb. In vitro drug release from the matrix tablets was determined and the results correlated with those of tablet water uptake and erosion studies. Drug release from the formulations containing both APAP and PE was slower than those containing only APAP (P < 0.05, F = 3.10). Drug release from tablets formulated with APAP only showed an initial burst at pH 1.16 or 7.45, and at high total polymer loading (≥ 9.6%). Formulations containing both APAP and PE showed slower drug release at pH 1.16 than at pH 7.45. At pH 1.16, a decline in the percentage of APAP released occurred after 18 hours. This was due to the hydrolysis of APAP to p-aminophenol. The drug dissolution data showed good fit to the Korsmeyer and Peppas model, and the values of the release exponents ranged from 0.20 to 0.62, indicating a complex drug release pattern. Tablet erosion studies indicated that the amount of APAP released was linearly related to the percentage of tablet weight loss. The kinetics of tablet water uptake was consistent with a diffusion and stress relaxation controlled mechanism. Overall, the results of this study indicated that PE, as a co-active in the formulation, modified the matrix, and hence retarded APAP release.     

Development and characterization of buccoadhesive nifedipine tablets.

The buccoadhesive controlled-release tablets for delivery of nifedipine were prepared by direct compression of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) with carbomer (CP), which showed superior bioadhesion properties compared to polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC), and acacia in a modified tensiometry method in vitro. The tablets containing 30mg of nifedipine and various amounts of CMC and CP showed a zero-order drug release kinetic. The adhesion force was significantly affected by the mixing ratio of CP:CMC in the tablets. The weakest and highest adhesion force was observed at the mixing ratios of 1:0 and 8:2 of CP:CMC, respectively. The tablets containing 15% CMC and 35% CP adhered for over 8h to the upper gums of six healthy human volunteers. These tablets released about 56% of the loaded drug after 8h in vivo with a rate of 2.17h(-1) and were perfectly tolerated, while they released about 100% of their content after the same time with a rate of 3.49h(-1) in vitro. A good correlation (r(2)=0.989) was observed between drug-released in vitro and in vivo.     

Bioadhesive Controlled Release Systems of Ornidazole for Vaginal Delivery

Our objective was to develop a bioadhesive vaginal tablet formulation of ornidazole by using different polymer mixtures, to evaluate the bioadhesive tablet properties, and to investigate the irritation potential of the formulations to the rat vaginal tissue. Vaginal tablets of ornidazole were directly compressed with bioadhesive and swellable polymer mixtures as release-controlled agents. Carbopol 934 (Cp), pectin (Pc), hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), sodium carboxymethylcellulose (Na CMC), and guar gum (GG) were used in different ratios. Bioadhesive properties, swelling capacity, release studies, and histological studies of the formulations were carried out. The bioadhesive strength between bovine vagina and surface of the tablets was determined by tensile experiments, and it was found to be dependent on Cp content. The release mechanism was described and found to be non-Fickian for all formulations. Dissolution data were evaluated statistically. No histological damage was found except one formulation containing high amount of guar gum.     

An in vitro investigation for vaginal bioadhesive formulations: bioadhesive properties and swelling states of polymer mixtures

Bioadhesive tablet formulations have been developed for mucosal application. Sixteen different bioadhesive tablet formulations were prepared and evaluated. Their bioadhesion to vaginal mucosa were studied by tensile testing method. The swelling behaviour of the tablets in three different solutions was also investigated. In addition, the effect of the formulations on pH of the medium was followed. The most favorable formulation resulted a mixture of Carbopol 934 and Pectin (2:1). The highest bioadhesive strength, the highest swelling volume and the lowest pH reduction were obtained with this formulation.
