Carbohydrate polymers are widely used for pharmaceutical applications such as the controlled release of drugs. The swelling and water mobility in high-amylose starch tablets are important parameters to be determined for these applications. They have been studied at different time intervals by nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMRI) after the immersion of the samples in water. These tablets have a hydrophilic matrix, which swells anisotropically and forms a hydrogel in water. NMRI shows clearly the anisotropy of the water penetration and the swelling along the radial and axial dimensions of the tablets. Empirical relationships are established to describe the kinetics of water penetration and swelling of the tablets. Results show that water uptake and tablet swelling strongly depend on the size of the tablets. Gravimetric measurements of water uptake were also performed in comparison with the NMRI results. 相似文献

Pharmaceutical tablets made of modified high-amylose starch have a hydrophilic polymer matrix into which water can penetrate with time to form a hydrogel. Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging was used to study the water penetration and the swelling of the matrix of these tablets. The tablets immersed in water were imaged at different time intervals on a 300 MHz NMR spectrometer. Radial images show clearly the swelling of the tablets and the water concentration profile. The rate constants for water diffusion and the tablet swelling were extracted from the experimental data. The water diffusion process was found to follow case II kinetics at 25 degrees C. NMR imaging also provided spin density profiles of the water penetrating inside the tablets. 相似文献

The purpose of this research was to develop and evaluate different preparations of sustained delivery systems, using Carbopols
as carriers, in the form of matrices and three-layer tablets with isosorbite mononitrate. Matrix tablets were prepared by
direct compression whereas three-layer tablets were prepared by compressing polymer barrier layers on both sides of the core
containing the drug. The findings of the study indicated that all systems demonstrated sustained release. The properties of
the polymer used and the structure of each formulation appear to considerably affect drug release and its release rate. The
three-layer formulations exhibit lower drug release compared to the matrices. This was due to the fact that the barrier-layers
hindered the penetration of liquid into the core and modified drug dissolution and release. The geometrical characteristics/structure
of the tablets as well as the weight/thickness of the barriers-layers considerably influence the rate of drug release and
the release mechanisms. Kinetic analysis of the data indicated that drug release from matrices was mainly attributed to Fickian
diffusion while three-layer tablets exhibited either anomalous diffusion or erosion/relaxation mechanisms. The advantage of
Carbopol formulations is that a range of release profiles can easily be obtained through variations in tablet structure and
thus Carbopols are appropriate carriers of oral sustained drug delivery systems for soluble drugs such as the isosorbite mononitrate. 相似文献

Electroejaculate traits and circulating follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and testosterone concentrations were analyzed in adult leopard cats (Felis bengalensis), a rare felid species indigenous to east Asia. The ability of leopard cat sperm to bind and penetrate zona-free hamster ova and zona-intact domestic cat oocytes in vitro was examined as a means of testing sperm function. The influence of culture media [Biggers, Whitten, Whittingham (BWW) vs. modified Krebs Ringer bicarbonate (mKRB)], seminal plasma removal, and swim-up separation on sperm motility, sperm morphology, and oocyte penetration also were assessed. Sperm treatments included dilution of raw semen (DR), ejaculate centrifugation, and either resuspension (NS) or swim-up processing (SU). The percentage of oocytes penetrated (penetration rate) and the number of penetrated sperm/oocyte (penetration index) were determined. Ejaculates from each male consisted of at least a 50% sperm motility rating, and hormone concentrations in individual males were unrelated to any ejaculate trait measured concurrently on the same day. The SU technique improved (P less than 0.05) percent sperm motility and the proportion of structurally normal sperm compared to DR and NS treatments. Leopard cat spermatozoa were capable of binding to and penetrating hamster ova and domestic cat oocytes; however, penetration was influenced by culture medium and seminal processing. In the hamster assay, a higher (P less than 0.05) penetration rate and penetration index were achieved when mKRB was used for gamete incubation instead of BWW. NS processing also increased (P less than 0.05) overall penetration compared to DR and SU. In the cat oocyte assay, zona penetration rate was similar (P greater than 0.05) in the DR, NS, and SU aliquots; however, the zona penetration index was increased (P less than 0.05) by the NS compared to the DR and SU treatments. This study 1) provides baseline ejaculate and endocrine norms for the leopard cat, 2) demonstrates that leopard cat sperm undergo nuclear decondensation in hamster ova and penetrate zona-intact domestic cat oocytes, 3) indicates that seminal plasma removal enhances leopard cat sperm fertilizing ability and ovum penetration, and 4) suggests that heterologous oocyte penetration is effective for assessing factors influencing fertilization and sperm function in this nondomestic felid. 相似文献

The purpose of this research was to develop mouth dissolve tablets of nimesulide. Granules containing nimesulide, camphor,
crospovidone, and lactose were prepared by wet granulation technique. Camphor was sublimed from the dried granules by exposure
to vacuum. The porous granules were then compressed. Alternatively, tablets were first prepared percentage friability, wetting
time, and disintegration time. In the investigation, a 32 full factorial design was used to investigate the joint influence of 2 formulation variables: amount of camphor and crospovidone.
The results of multiple linear regression analysis revealed that for obtaining a rapidly disintegrating dosage form, tablets
should be prepared using an optimum concentration of camphor and a higher percentage of crospovidone. A contour plot is also
presented to graphically represent the effect of the independent variables on the disintegration time and percentage friability.
A checkpoint batch was also prepared to prove the validity of the evolved mathematical model. Sublimation of camphor from
tablets resulted in superior tablets as compared with the tablets prepared from granules that were exposed to vacuum. The
systematic formulation approach helped in understanding the effect of formulation processing variables. 相似文献

The effect of concentration of hydrophilic (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose [HPMC]) and hydrophobic polymers (hydrogenated castor
oil [HCO], ethylcellulose) on the release rate of tramadol was studied. Hydrophilic matrix tablets were prepared by wet granulation
technique, while hydrophobic (wax) matrix tablets were prepared by melt granulation technique and in vitro dissolution studies
were performed using United States Pharmacopeia (USP) apparatus type II. Hydrophobic matrix tablets resulted in sustained
in vitro drug release (>20 hours) as compared with hydrophilic matrix tablets (<14 hours). The presence of ethylcellulose
in either of the matrix systems prolonged the release rate of the drug. Tablets prepared by combination of hydrophilic and
hydrophobic polymers failed to prolong the drug release beyond 12 hours. The effect of ethylcellulose coating (Surelease)
and the presence of lactose and HPMC in the coating composition on the drug release was also investigated. Hydrophobic matrix
tablets prepared using HCO were found to be best suited for modulating the delivery of the highly water-soluble drug, tramadol
hydrochloride. 相似文献

A system using light-induced fluorescence (LIF) technology was developed for rapid and nondestructive analysis of active pharmaceutical
ingredients on tablet surfaces. Nonhomogenous tablets with defined layer of active ingredients were made by 3-Dimensional
Printing technology to determine penetration depths of the light source and the resultant fluorescence responses. The LIF
method of analysis showed penetration to depths of up to 3 mm into tablets. A correlation between LIF signals from analysis
of tablet surfaces and the total drug content of the respective tablets was established. This method of surface analysis was
verified with UV spectrometric methods for the total drug content of each respective tablet. The results from a small sample
population of tablets made from both homogeneous and nonhomogeneous powder mixtures established good correlation between LIF
surface monitoring and total tablet content. The use of on-line monitoring of the individual tablet for surface content demonstrated
consistent LIF profiles from simulated production rates up to 3000 tablets a minute. The instrument was also field tested
successfully on a tablet analyzer. 相似文献

The crystal structures of active pharmaceutical ingredients and excipients should be strictly controlled because they influence pharmaceutical properties of products which cause the change in the quality or the bioavailability of the products. In this study, we investigated the effects of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) crystallinity on the hydrophilic properties of tablets and the hydrolysis of active pharmaceutical ingredient, acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), inside tablets by using tablets containing 20% MCC as an excipient. Different levels of grinding were applied to MCC prior to tablet formulation, to intentionally cause structural variation in the MCC. The water penetration and moisture absorbability of the tablets increased with decreasing the crystallinity of MCC through higher level of grinding. More importantly, the hydrolysis of ASA inside tablets was also accelerated. These results indicate that the crystallinity of MCC has crucial effects on the pharmaceutical properties of tablets even when the tablets contain a relatively small amount of MCC. Therefore, controlling the crystal structure of excipients is important for controlling product qualities. 相似文献

The experiments described examined the effects of a number of factors on the level of uterine insemination achieved in Merino ewes by a transcervical insemination technique (Guelph system for transcervical artificial insemination; GST-AI). Cervical penetration rate is an important limitation to the use of such methods in Merinos. Simulated insemination was performed to estimate the proportion of ewes in which a pipette could be passed through the cervix to the uterus. In Experiment 1, cervical penetration rate (n = 14 to 30) was unaffected by an increase in postpartum interval at AI from 12 to 26 wk. The results of cervical penetration for individual ewes were found to be repeatable (P < 0.05). Experiment 2 (197 ewes) revealed a clear effect of ewe parity on penetration rates in hormonally synchronized ewes during the nonbreeding season (P < 0.05). In Experiment 3, estrus synchronization using progestagen (n = 51) or prostaglandin (n = 50) did not affect penetration rate. The penetration rate was slightly higher in the naturally cycling ewes, but the difference was not significant. Comparison of ewes from Experiments 2 and 3 suggests the possibility of a major effect of stage of the breeding season on the penetration rate (P < 0.05). It is concluded that ewe selection and management techniques may be used to increase the proportion of transcervical insemination attempts resulting in uterine insemination. However, fertility testing will be required to determine whether such improvements translate into correspondingly increased pregnancy rates. 相似文献

The penetration of water into cross-linked high amylose starch tablets was studied at different temperatures by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging, which follows the changes occurring at the surface and inside the starch tablets during swelling. It was found that the swelling was anisotropic, whereas water diffusion was almost isotropic. The water proton image profiles at the initial stage of water penetration were used to calculate the initial diffusion coefficient. The swelling and water concentration gradients in this controlled release system show significant temperature dependence. Diffusion behavior changed from Fickian to Case II diffusion with increasing temperature. The observed phenomena are attributed to the gelatinization of starch and the pseudo-cross-linking effect of double helix formation. 相似文献

An improved 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) tablet technique for observation in vivo of SCE in mouse bone-marrow and spermatogonial cells is described.BrdU tablets were coated with agar as protecting barrier before subcutaneous implantation into mice. In comparison with the original tablets, the agar-coated tablets provided a slower and more uniform delivery of BrdU to the animals. This was corroborated (1) by recovering the undissolved portion of tablets at 1–2-h intervals, and (2) by quantitative determination of the BrdU levels in blood with the help of an analytical HPLC technique.The time required for complete dissolution of the coated tablets was considerably longer than that for the original tablets. This means that the dose of BrdU required for observation of SCE in mouse bone-marrow cells can be reduced accordingly. By using these modified tablets, therefore, undesired effects of high doses of BrdU on mutation (base-line SCE frequency) as well as on cellular replication and proliferation can be diminished.Moreover, the improved depot effect of the modified tablets facilitates the differential labeling of sister chromatids in mouse spermatogonia, a tissue containing cells with a relatively long DNA synthesis period. 相似文献

Levothyroxine is a narrow therapeutic index, and to avoid adverse effect associated with under or excessive dosage, the dose
response is carefully titrated. The tablets are marketed with a score providing an option to split. However, there are no
systematic studies evaluating the effect of splitting on dose accuracy, and current study was undertaken to evaluate effects
of splitting and potential causes for uniformity failures by measuring assay and content uniformity in whole and split tablets.
Stability was evaluated by assaying drug for a period of 8 weeks. Effect of formulation factors on splittability was evaluated
by a systematic investigation of formulation factors by preparing levothyroxine tablets in house by varying the type of excipients
(binder, diluent, disintegrant, glidant) or by varying the processing factors (granulating liquid, mixing type, compression
pressure). The tablets were analyzed using novel analytical tool such as near infrared chemical imaging to visualize the distribution
of levothyroxine. Assay was not significantly different for whole versus split tablets irrespective of method of splitting (hand or splitter), and splitting also had no measurable impact on the
stability. Split tablets either by hand or splitter showed higher rate of content uniformity failures as compared to whole
tablets. Tablet splitter produced more fragmentation and, hence, more content uniformity and friability failures. Chemical
imaging data revealed that the distribution of levothyroxine was heterogeneous and was dependent on type of binder and the
process used in the manufacture of tablets. Splitting such tablets could prove detrimental if sub- or super-potency becomes
an issue. 相似文献

Compaction of controlled-release coated pellets into tablets is challenging because of the fusion of pellets and the rupturing
of coated film. The difficulty in compaction intensifies with the use of extremely water-soluble drugs. Therefore, the present
study was conducted to prepare and compact pellets containing pseudoephedrine hydrochloride as an extremely water-soluble
model drug. The pellets were produced using an extrusion–spheronization technique. The drug-loaded pellets were coated to
extend the drug release up to 12-h employing various polymers, and then they were compressed into tablets using microcrystalline
cellulose Ceolus KG-801 as a novel tabletting excipient. The in vitro drug release studies of coated pellets and tablets were undertaken using the USP basket method in dissolution test apparatus
I. The amount of drug released was analyzed at a wavelength of 215 nm. The combined coatings of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose
and Kollicoat SR-30D yielded 12-h extended-release pellets with drug release independent of pH of dissolution medium following
zero-order kinetics. The drug release from the tablets prepared using inert Celous KG-801 granules as tabletting excipient
was found faster than that of coated pellets. However, a modification in drug release rate occurred with the incorporation
of inert Ceolus KG-801 pellets. The drug dissolution profile from tablets containing 40% w/w each of coated pellets and inert
granules along with 20% w/w inert pellets was found to be closely similar to that of coated pellets. Furthermore, the friability,
tensile strength, and disintegration time of the tablets were within the USP specifications. 相似文献

The recent challenge in orally disintegrating tablets (ODT) manufacturing encompasses the compromise between instantaneous
disintegration, sufficient hardness, and standard processing equipment. The current investigation constitutes one attempt
to fulfill this challenge. Maltodextrin, in the present work, was utilized as a novel excipient to prepare ODT of meclizine.
Tablets were prepared by both direct compression and wet granulation techniques. The effect of maltodextrin concentrations
on ODT characteristics—manifested as hardness and disintegration time—was studied. The effect of conditioning (40°C and 75%
relative humidity) as a post-compression treatment on ODT characteristics was also assessed. Furthermore, maltodextrin-pronounced
hardening effect was investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray analysis. Results revealed that
in both techniques, rapid disintegration (30–40 s) would be achieved on the cost of tablet hardness (about 1 kg). Post-compression
conditioning of tablets resulted in an increase in hardness (3 kg), while keeping rapid disintegration (30–40 s) according
to guidance of the FDA for ODT. However, direct compression-conditioning technique exhibited drawbacks of long conditioning
time and appearance of the so-called patch effect. These problems were, yet, absent in wet granulation-conditioning technique.
DSC and X-ray analysis suggested involvement of glass-elastic deformation in maltodextrin hardening effect. High-performance
liquid chromatography analysis of meclizine ODT suggested no degradation of the drug by the applied conditions of temperature
and humidity. Overall results proposed that maltodextrin is a promising saccharide for production of ODT with accepted hardness-disintegration
time compromise, utilizing standard processing equipment and phenomena of phase transition. 相似文献

A large part of new pharmaceutical substances are characterized by a poor solubility and high hydrophobicity, which might lead to a difference in drug adsorption between fasted and fed patients. We have previously evaluated the release of hydrophobic drugs from tablets based on Pemulen TR2 and showed that the release can be manipulated by adding surfactants. Here we further evaluate the possibility to use Pemulen TR2 in controlled release tablet formulations containing a poorly soluble substance, griseofulvin. The release is evaluated in simulated intestinal media that model the fasted state (FaSSIF medium) or fed state (FeSSIF). The rheology of polymer gels is studied in separate experiments, in order to gain more information on possible interactions. The release of griseofulvin in tablets without surfactant varied greatly and the slowest release were observed in FeSSIF. Addition of SDS to the tablets eliminated the differences and all tablets showed a slow linear release, which is of obvious relevance for robust drug delivery. Comparing the data from the release studies and the rheology experiment showed that the effects on the release from the different media could to a large extent be rationalised as a consequence of the interactions between the polymer and the surfactants in the media. The study shows that Pemulen TR2 is a candidate for controlled release formulations in which addition of surfactant provides a way to eliminate food effects on the release profile. However, the formulation used needs to be designed to give a faster release rate than the tablets currently investigated. 相似文献

Two relatively simple techniques for the objective measurement of semen quality, and which are easy to apply in the field or laboratory, have been developed: a modified sperm penetration test read by the naked eye and a colorimeter-based swim-up technique. Both the modified sperm penetration and swim-up methods produced promising results in prediction of ram fertility; the modified sperm penetration test was correlated (P<0.05) with a 48-day nonreturn rate and a 60-day conception rate; the correlation between a swim-up velocity and the 60-day conception rate approached significance (r=0.483; 0.1>P>0.05). 相似文献

The release of verapamil hydrochloride from tablets with Eudragit RLPO or Kollidon®SR with different drug-to-polymer ratios were investigated with a view to develop twice-daily sustained-release dosage form by solid dispersion (SD) technique. The SDs containing Eudragit RLPO or Kollidon®SR at drug-polymer ratios of 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3 with verapamil hydrochloride were developed using solvent evaporation technique. The physical mixtures of drug and both polymers were prepared by using simple mixing technique at the same ratio as solid dispersion. The physicochemical properties of solid dispersion were evaluated by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The study of DSC, XRD, and FTIR could not show significant interaction between verapamil HCl and Kollidon®SR or Eudragit RLPO. The solid dispersions or physical mixtures were compressed to tablets. The tablets were prepared with solid dispersions containing Eudragit RLPO or Kollidon®SR, with all the official requirements of tablet dosage forms fulfilled. Tablets prepared were evaluated for the release of verapamil hydrochloride over a period of 12 h in pH 6.8 phosphate buffer using US Pharmacopoeia type II dissolution apparatus. The in vitro drug release study revealed that the tablet containing Eudragit has extended the release rate for 12 h whereas the tablet containing Kollidon®SR at the same concentration has extended the release rate up to 8 h. The in vitro release profile and the mathematical models indicate that release of verapamil hydrochloride can be effectively controlled from a tablet containing solid dispersions of Eudragit RLPO. The reduction of size fraction of the SD system from 200–250 to 75–125 μm had a great effect on the drug release. 相似文献

The present study aims to develop floating drug delivery system by sublimation of ammonium carbonate (AMC). The core tablets contain a model drug, hydrochlorothiazide, and various levels (i.e., 0–50% w/w) of AMC. The tablets were then coated with different amounts of the polyacrylate polymers (i.e., Eudragit® RL100, Eudragit® RS100, and the mixture of Eudragit® RL100 and Eudragit® RS100 at 1:1 ratio). The coated tablets were kept at ambient temperature (25°C) or cured at 70°C for 12 h before further investigation. The floating and drug release behaviors of the tablets were performed in simulated gastric fluid USP without pepsin at 37°C. The results showed that high amount of AMC induced the floating of the tablets. The coated tablets containing 40 and 50% AMC floated longer than 8 h with a time-to-float of about 3 min. The sublimation of AMC from the core tablets decreased the density of system, causing floating of the tablets. The tablets coated with Eudragit® RL100 floated at a faster rate than those of Eudragit® RS100. Even the coating level of polymer did not influence the time-to-float and floating time of coated tablets containing the same amount of AMC, the drug release from the tablets coated with higher coating level of polymer showed slower drug release. The results suggested that the sublimation technique using AMC is promising for the development of floating drug delivery system. 相似文献

Diazepam is one of the most prescribed benzodiazepines. The purpose of the present research was to optimize the formulation
of orodispersible tablets of diazepam. Orodispersible tablets of diazepam were prepared using different types of superdisintegrants
(Ac-Di-Sol, sodium starch glycolate, and crospovidone (CP)) and different types of subliming agents (camphor and ammonium
bicarbonate (AB)) at different concentrations and two methods of tablets preparations (wet granulation and direct compression
methods). The formulations were evaluated for flow properties, wetting time, hardness, friability, content uniformity, in vivo disintegration time (DT), release profiles, and buccal absorption tests. All formulations showed satisfactory mechanical
strength except formula F5 which contains camphor and formula F9 which is prepared by direct compression method. The results
revealed that the tablets containing CP as a superdisintegrant have good dissolution profile with shortest DT. The optimized
formula F7 is prepared using 10% CP as a superdisintegrant and 20% AB as a subliming agent by wet granulation method which
shows the shortest DT and good dissolution profile with acceptable stability. This study helps in revealing the effect of
formulation processing variables on tablet properties. It can be concluded that the orodispersible tablets of diazepam with
better biopharmaceutical properties than conventional tablets could be obtained using formula F7. 相似文献
