Present work conceptualizes a specific technology, based on combining floating and pulsatile principles to develop drug delivery system, intended for chronotherapy in arthritis. This approach was achieved by using low density microporous polypropylene, Accurel MP 1000 (R), as a multiparticulate carrier along with drug of choice ibuprofen. Carrier amount and solvent volume was kept invariant in designing this simple system by adsorbing drug via melting or solvent evaporation using different carrier: drug ratios. In solvent evaporation, methanol (M) and dichloromethane (DCM) were used. Drug loaded multiparticulate system was subjected to various characterization and evaluation parameters showing influence of adsorption process. Drug release study was performed in acidic environment using pH 1.2 HCl IP medium for 6 h to mimic gastric condition for evaluating gastroretention followed by basic environment using appropriate medium as phosphate buffer pH 7.2 IP for 3 h resembling transit. The release pattern showed influence of drug adsorption methods characterized by ever changing pore geometry with total release ranges in acidic medium as 10.7-27.6% and final release as 55.6-88.6%. Present drug delivery system devoid of any additives/excipients influencing drug release show distinct behaviour from other approaches/technologies in chronotherapy by (a) observing desired low drug release (11%) in acidic medium (b) overcoming the limitations of process variables caused by multiple formulation steps (c) reducing time consumption due to single step process (d) can be extended to controlled release also.

Response surface methodology, using 3 2 factorial design was used to study drug adsorption on and its release patterns from microporous polypropylene (Accurel MP 1000((R))) in the absence of additives. Ibuprofen, as model drug, was adsorbed on the polymer by solvent evaporation using two organic solvents methanol (M) and dichloromethane (DCM). The amount of carrier (100 mg) and its particle size range (250-350 mu m) were kept invariant while solvent volume (X-1) and drug amount (X-2) were taken as variables. Drug adsorption pattern depended on the type and amount of solvent used. DSC, XRD, FTIR and TGA, predict crystalline nature and physical form of adsorption. SEM showed the penetration and adsorption of the drug in and on the microporous polymer. Accurel NIP 1000((R)) had a pore volume of 1.992 g/cm(3) and surface area of 55.9855 m(2)/g as detected by mercury porosimetery. On drug adsorption, pore volume ranged from 0.413 to 1.198 g/cm(3) for methanol and 0.280-0.759 g/cm(3) for DCM. Similarly surface area was in the range 38.445-25.497 m(2)/g for methanol and 18.710-32.528 m(2)/g for DCM. The drug release was investigated in phosphate buffer pH 7.2. All batches showed excellent in vitro floating property. Drug release was partial with recovery to complete dependent on type and volume of solvent. R 2 values relating to bulk density, pore volume, surface area and drug release at 60, 120 and 180 min were estimated. Effect of solvent properties shows a positive influence on drug adsorption and release. Release profiles of some batches could be considered as gastroretentive drug delivery system.

The purpose of this work was to develop Eudragit (R) EPO based nanoparticle suspension of isolated andrographolide in order to increase its solubility and efficacy. Andrographolide was isolated from Andrographis paniculata and Its Nanoparticle suspension was prepared by precipitation technique. The 3(2) factorial design was used to study the effect of Eudragit (R) EPO and Pluronic (R) F-68 on characteristics of nanoparticle suspension. The optimized formulation was subjected to lyophilization. The nanoparticle suspension, lyophilized suspension and the redispersed lyophilized nanoparticle suspension were characterized by drug content, encapsulation efficiency, particle size, electrokinetic properties, DSC, PXRD, FTIR, TEM and in vitro drug release. Optimized batch showed particle size 255 +/- 9 nm with encapsulation efficiency 93.8 +/- 0.67% and zeta potential 29.3 +/- 3.4 mV. There was marked increase in drug dissolution with complete drug release within 10 minutes in nanoparticle suspension and redispersed naoparticle suspension as compared to pure drug. However, lyophilization retarded the drug release. The nanoparticle suspension and redispersed nanoparticle suspension also showed improved hepatoprotectivity as compared to andrographolide against CCl(4)-induced hepatotoxicity in rats. The results were confirmed by histopathological studies on hepatic lesions. Thus particle engineering can be used to improve pharmaceutical properties of phytoconstituents.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.351</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sher, Praveen</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ingavle, Ganesh C.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ponrathnam, Surendra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Poddar, Pankaj</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pawar, Atmaram P.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Modulation and optimization of drug release from uncoated low density porous carrier based delivery system</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AAPS Pharmscitech</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">chronotherapy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">floating pulsatile drug delivery system</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">low density porous carrier</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">pore data</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">solvent polarity</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2009</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JUN</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SPRINGER</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">233 SPRING ST, NEW YORK, NY 10013 USA</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">547-558</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The purpose of this research work was to explore an application of uncoated porous drug carrier prepared by single-step drug adsorption for a delivery system based on integration of floating and pulsatile principles intended for chronotherapy. This objective was achieved by utilizing 3(2) factorial design, solvent volume (X (1)) and drug amount (X (2)) as selected variables, for drug adsorption using solvents, methanol, and dichloromethane (DCM), of varying polarity. Nitrogen adsorption (N(2)), scanning electron microscopy of cross-sections, and atomic force microscopy were done to study adsorption patterns and their effect on release pattern. Drug release study was customized by performing for 6 h in acidic environment to mimic gastroretention followed by basic environment akin to transit phase. Correlation between porous data from mercury and N(2) adsorption was probably studied for the first time. Observed regression analysis values for pore volume, surface area, and drug release indicated the influence of selected variables. Total release range in acidic medium was 12.77-24.57% for methanol, 8.79-15.26% for DCM, and final release of 69.45-92.23% for methanol, and 60.16-99.99% for DCM influenced by varying internal geometries was observed. Present form of drug delivery system devoid of any additives/excipients influencing drug release shows distinct behavior from other approaches/technologies in chronotherapy by (a) observing desired low drug release (8%) in acidic medium, (b) overcoming the limitations of process variables caused by multiple formulation steps and different characteristic polymers, (c) reducing time consumption due to single step process, and (d) extending as controlled/extended release.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.211</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sher, Praveen</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ingavle, Ganesh C.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ponrathnam, Surendra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Benson, James R.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Li, Nai-Hong</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pawar, Atmaram P.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Novel/conceptual floating pulsatile system using high internal phase emulsion based porous material intended for chronotherapy</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AAPS Pharmscitech</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">chronotherapy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">floating pulsatile drug delivery system</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">high internal phase emulsion</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ibuprofen</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">multiparticulate porous carriers</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2009</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DEC</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SPRINGER</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">233 SPRING ST, NEW YORK, NY 10013 USA</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1368-1380</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The aim of the present study was to design a novel/conceptual delivery system using ibuprofen, anticipated for chronotherapy in arthritis with porous material to overcome the formulation limits (multiple steps, polymers, excipients) and to optimize drug loading for a desired release profile suitable for in vitro investigations. The objective of this delivery system lies in the availability of maximum drug amount for absorption in the wee hours as recommended. Drug loading using 3(2) factorial design on porous carrier, synthesized by high internal phase emulsion technique using styrene and divinylbenzene, was done via solvent evaporation using methanol and dichloromethane. The system was evaluated in vitro for drug loading, encapsulation efficiency, and surface characterization by scanning electron, atomic force microscopy, and customized drug release study. This study examined critical parameters such as solvent volume, drug amount, and solvent polarity on investigations related to drug adsorption and release mostly favoring low-polarity solvent dichloromethane. Overall release in all batches ranged 0.98-52% in acidic medium and 71-94% in basic medium. These results exhibit uniqueness in achieving the least drug release of 0.98%, an ideal one, without using any release modifiers, making it distinct from other approaches/technologies for time and controlled release and for chronotherapy.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.211</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
