Metformin/Gliclazide extended release tablets were formulated with Eudragit NE30D by wet granulation technique. Two batches were prepared in order to study influence of drug polymer ratio on the tablet formation and in vitro drug release. The formulated tablets were characterized by disintegration time, hardness, friability, thickness, weight variation, and in vitro drug release. The percentage of polymer, with respect to Metformin/Gliclazide, required to produce tablets with acceptable qualities was 9 to 13.45. The percentage of polymer below this range released the drug immediately and above this range produced granules not suitable for tablet formation. The quantity of Metformin/Gliclazide present in the tablets and the release medium were estimated by a validated HPLC method. The formulated tablets had acceptable physicochemical characters and released the drug over 6-8 h. The data obtained from in vitro release studies were fitted with various kinetic models and was found to follow Higuchi kinetics.

In the present study, novel micro-structured copolymeric carriers were developed based on the grafting technology where acrylamide was chemically crosslinked with different types of Eudragits® (NE30D, L100, RL30D, or RS30D) based on a 4*2 factorial design. The designed systems efficiently engulfed the anticoagulant drug dipyridamole (DIP), within their formed entangled mesh of crosslinked polymeric network. An optimized formulation, ECOP4 with a desirability-value of 0.

The development of smart nanoparticles (NPs) became a trend to enhance the delivery of drugs. In the present work, Tobramycin (TB), an aminoglycoside antibiotic that displays several undesirable side effects, has been encapsulated into cationic Eudragit®E100 (E100) NPs for the treatment of infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Combination with neutral Eudragit®NE30D (NE30D) NPs containing resveratrol (RSV), a strong natural antioxidant, increased the antimicrobial activity of TB (75% higher than free TB).

The discovery of new alternatives for the treatment of infectious diseases has become the focus of burgeoning global interest. The complexation of the wide-spectrum antibiotic nalidixic acid (NA) with oxidovanadium(IV) ion and its incorporation into hybrid nanoparticulate systems were explored. The V-NA complex proved to be a stronger antimicrobial agent against E.
