Objective: To prepare the gastric retenting and chronopharmacologic drug delivery tablets containing sinomenine hydrochloride as a model drug, evaluate the effects of the coating layers formulation and technics on drug release behavior, and to elucidate the mechanism of drug release based on obtained results.
Method: The gastric retenting and chronopharmacologic drug delivery tablets were prepared by press-coated technics. The types of disintegrants were chosen according to the expanding rate and the lag-time. The effects of formulation and technics of coating layer on the release characteristic of the drug were investigated by dissolution testing. The mechanism of drug release was proved by erosion test.
Result: The tablets had typical chronopharmacologic drug delivery properties with a lag time followed by a rapid release phase. CMS-Na was selected as the disintegrant. The lag-time was prolonged with the increase of the ratio of HPMC/carrrageenan and the amount of matrix material in coating layer. The compressing pressure and preparation method of coat material had minor influence on the lag-time of the tablets. Coating layer erosion and tablet core swelling were involved in the mechanism of drug release.
Conclusion: The tablets had typical chronopharmacologic drug delivery properties. A suitable lag-time can be achieved by adjusting formulation of coating layer to meet the requirement of chronotherapy.

Hearing disorders pose significant challenges to individuals experiencing them and their overall quality of life, emphasizing the critical need for advanced pharmacological approaches to address these conditions. Current treatment options often focus on amplification devices, cochlear implants, or other rehabilitative therapies, leaving a substantial gap regarding effective pharmacological interventions. Advancements in our understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in hearing disorders induced by noise, aging, and ototoxicity have opened new avenues for drug development, some of which have led to numerous clinical trials, with promising results.

Introduction: Clinical hypertension trials typically rely on homeostatic principles, including single time-of-day office blood pressure (BP) measurements (OBPM), rather than circadian chronopharmacological principles, including ambulatory monitoring (ABPM) done around-the-clock to derive the asleep systolic BP (SBP) mean and sleep-time relative SBP decline - jointly the strongest prognosticators of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and true definition of hypertension - to qualify participants and assess outcomes.
Areas Covered: Eight chronopharmacological elements are indispensable for design and conduct of hypertension medication trials, mainly those on ingestion-time differences in effects, and also a means of rating quality of investigations. Accordingly, we highlight the findings and shortcomings of: (i) 155 such ingestion-time trials, 83.

Approximately one-third of patients with epilepsy are drug-refractory, necessitating novel treatment approaches. Chronopharmacology, which adjusts pharmacological treatment to physiological variations in seizure susceptibility and drug responsiveness, offers a promising strategy to enhance efficacy and tolerance. This narrative review provides an overview of the biological foundations for rhythms in seizure activity, clinical implications of seizure patterns through case reports, and the potential of chronopharmacological strategies to improve treatment.

Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) is a major contributor to the development of hypertension (HTN) in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). OSA subjects frequently display a non-dipping pattern of blood pressure (BP) and resistant HTN. After discovering that AHR-CYP1A1 axis is a druggable target in CIH-HTN, we hypothesized that CH-223191 could control BP in both active and inactive periods of the animals, recovering the BP dipping profile in CIH conditions.

Introduction: Most mammalian physiology is orchestrated by the circadian clock, including drug transport and metabolism. As a result, efficacy and toxicity of many drugs are influenced by the timing of their administration, which has led to the establishment of the field of chronopharmacology.
Areas Covered: In this review, the authors provide an overview of the current knowledge about the time-of-day dependent aspects of drug metabolism and the importance of chronopharmacological strategies for drug development.
