Article Synopsis
  • Nasal delivery methods improve the systemic absorption of timolol maleate, a beta blocker for hypertension, due to factors like large surface area and avoidance of first-pass metabolism.
  • The study aimed to create an optimized, controlled-release nasal gel using HPMC and Poloxamer 407, identifying formulations f1 and f4 as having the highest drug release percentages.
  • Ex vivo diffusion studies confirmed that formulation f1 achieved significant drug release percentages, making it a promising option for enhancing the nasal bioavailability of timolol maleate.

The rationale of this work is to develop new bioactive thermoresponsive polyblend nanofiber formulations for wound healing (topical). Various polymer compositions of thermoresponsive, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), egg albumen and poly(ε-caprolactone) blend solutions with and without a drug [gatifloxacin hydrochloride, Gati] were prepared. Non-woven nanofibers of various compositions were fabricated using an electrospinning technique.

The purpose of the present work was to design and optimize compression coated floating pulsatile drug delivery systems of bisoprolol. Floating pulsatile concept was applied to increase the gastric residence of the dosage form having lag phase followed by a burst release. The prepared system consisted of two parts: a core tablet containing the active ingredient and an erodible outer shell with gas generating agent.

Unlabelled: The objective of this work was to develop and evaluate a floating-pulsatile drug delivery of atenolol. The floating-pulsatile concept was applied to increase the gastric residence of the dosage form by having lag phase followed by a burst release. The system was generated which consisted of three different parts: a core tablet, containing the active ingredient; an erodible outer shell; and a top cover buoyant layer.

Introduction: A simple, economical, precise, and accurate new UV spectrophotometric baseline manipulation methodology for simultaneous determination of drotaverine (DRT) and etoricoxib (ETR) in a combined tablet dosage form has been developed.

Materials And Methods: The method is based on baseline manipulation (difference) spectroscopy where the amplitudes at 274 and 351 nm were selected to determine ETR and DRT, respectively, in combined formulation and methanol was used as solvent. Both the drugs obey Beer's law in the concentration ranges of 4-20 μg/mL for DRT and 4.

Metoprolol succinate (MS) gastroretentive (GR) controlled release system was formulated to increase gastric residence time leading to improved drug bioavailability. Box-Behnken model was followed using novel combinations of sodium alginate (SA), sodium carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC), magnesium alumino metasilicate (MAS) as independent variables. Floating lag time (Flag), t25, t50, t75, diffusion exponent as dependent variables revealed that the amount of SA, NaCMC and MAS have a significant effect (p < 0.

Metformin Hydrochloride (MF) is glucose lowering agent that is widely used for management for type II diabetes. MF is reported to be absorbed mainly in upper part of GIT. It is having narrow absorption window and high water solubility, and it would be more beneficial to retain the drug in stomach for prolonged duration so as to achieve maximum absorption and better bioavailability.
