INTRODUCTION
Introduction
The goal of any drug delivery systems is to provide a therapeutic amount of drug in
the proper site in the body to achieve and maintain the desired drug concentration. That is, the
drug delivery system should deliver drug at a rate dedicated by the needs of the body over a
specified period of treatment.
1.1Oral drug delivery:
This is the most widely used route of administration among all the routes that
have been explored for systemic delivery of drugs via pharmaceutical products of
different dosage form. Oral route is considered most natural, uncomplicated, convenient
and safe due to its ease of administration, patient acceptance and cost effective
manufacturing process2. Oral route of drug administration have wide acceptance up to 5060% of total dosage forms because of their ease of administration, self-medication, pain
avoidance and most importantly patient compliance. The most popular solid dosage forms
are tablets and capsules. But the important drawback of this dosage form is the difficulty
to swallow3.
A modified dosage form is defined as one for which the drug release characteristics
of time course and/or location are chosen to accomplish therapeutic objectives not offered
by conventional dosage forms such as solutions, ointments, or promptly dissolving
dosage forms as presently recognized4. Over the past 30 years as the expense and
complications involved in marketing new drug entities have increased, with concomitant
recognition of the controlled drug delivery, greater attention has been focused on
development of sustained or controlled release drug delivery systems. The attractiveness
of these dosage forms is due to awareness to toxicity and other properties of drugs when
administered or applied by conventional method in the form of tablets, capsules,
injectable, and ointments etc5.
Usually conventional dosage form produces wide fluctuations in drug
concentration in plasma blood stream and tissues with consequent undesirable toxicity
and poor efficacy.
1.2. Controlled release drug delivery systems 6
Controlled release drug delivery systems are those dosage formulations designed
to release an active ingredient at rates, which differ significantly from their corresponding
conventional dosage forms. The controlled release drug delivery systems are aimed at

Introduction
controlling the rate of drug delivery, sustaining the duration of therapeutic activity and/or
targeting the drug to a tissue. Controlled release drug delivery systems provided one or
more of the following advantages.
Maintenance of optimum therapeutic drug concentration in the blood with
minimum fluctuations.
Enhancement of therapeutic activity duration for drugs having short
biological half-life.
Elimination of side effects, frequent dosing and wastage of drugs.
Optimized therapy and better patient compliance.
1.3. ORAL CONTROLLED RELEASE SYSTEMS 7
The oral route has been the most popular and successfully used for controlled
delivery of drugs because of convenience and ease of administration, greater flexibility in
dosage form design and ease of production and low cost of such a system. The following are
the major types of controlled release systems intended for oral use.
1.3.1. Matrix tablets
Matrix tablets are monolithic systems in which drug is homogeneously dispersed
throughout a rate controlling medium. To control the release of the drugs, hydrophobic and
hydrophilic matrices have been used. For water soluble drugs the hydrophobic and
hydrophilic matrices are mixed. For moderately or poorly water soluble drugs, hydrophilic
matrices are used. The drug dissolution is controlled by controlling the rate of penetration of
dissolution fluid in to the matrix by altering the porosity of tablet, decreasing its wettability or
by itself getting dissolved at slower rate.
1.3.2. Mucoadhesive tablets
Mucoadhesive tablets are controlled drug delivery systems, bind to the gastric
epithelial cell surface or mucin and serve as a potential means of extending the gastric
retention time of drug delivery system in the stomach. Mucoadhesive polymers used in the
preparation of tablets utilize the property of adhesive interaction with a biological or
gastrointestinal mucosal surface. These dosage forms are readily localized in the region
applied to enhance the bioavailability of drugs.
Page 2
Introduction
Micro particles and Microspheres are the polymeric particles ranging in size from 11000m. The mechanism of drug release is either by dissolution and diffusion of the drug
and the formulations are either as encapsulated or matrix form.
1.3.4. Ion-exchange resins
These types of systems are developed by embedding the drug molecules in the ion
exchange resin matrix. Hence, the drug release characteristics are mainly dependent on the
ionic environment of the resin containing drug.
1.3.5. Film coated tablets
Coating of tablets by using film forming polymers like HPMC, ethyl cellulose can
control the dissolution rate of the drug from the tablets. Thickness of the polymer coat is the
important parameter for the desired dissolution rate.
1.3.6. Floating tablets
Floating tablets are used for the local action in the proximal g.i.t. Increased g.i.t. transit
time is the consequent property of the floating tablets .Due to their less specific gravity they
float for extended period in the gastro intestinal fluid.
1.3.7. Swellable tablets
Swellable tablets are developed in a size, which can be swallowed and when they
reach stomach fluid, swell quickly and attain considerably larger size. The dosage form is
larger than the pylorus opening hence it cannot pass through the pylorus thereby, the
residence time in stomach increases.
1.3.8. Osmotic tablets 9
The osmotic tablets are comprised of a drug contained in a rigid, semi permeable
membrane in which an aperture is created by a mechanical drill or a laser beam. These
systems are suitable for the controlled release of water soluble drugs.
Page 3
Introduction
Micro or sub-micron emulsions are having the dispersed phase diameter less than
0.1m and appears translucent or transparent and they are thermodynamically stable
compared to conventional emulsions.
1.4. CONTROLLED RELEASE THROUGH MATRIX DEVICES 10
Matrix (monolithic) devices are possibly the most common of the devices for the
controlling the release of drugs. In such a device the active ingredient is present as dispersion
with in the polymer matrix, and they are typically formed by the compression of a
polymer/drug mixture or by dissolution or melting. The dosage release properties of
monolithic devices may be dependent upon the solubility of the drug in the polymer matrix
or, in the case of porous matrices, the solubility in the sink solution with in the particles pore
network, and also the tortuosity of the network, dependent on whether the drug is dispersed in
the polymer or dissolved in the polymer.
It is common to add plasticizer (PEG), or surfactant, or adjuvant, as a means to
enhance the permeability. It was noted that the leaching of PEG acted to increase the
permeability of films as a function of PEG loading by increasing the porosity. It was
deducted that the enhancement of their permeability is a result of the effective decrease in the
thickness caused by the PEG leaching.

reduction in dosage frequency as compared to that drug presented as an intermediate
release (conventional) dosage form.

portions of drug at a time or at times other than promptly after administration, although
one portion may be released promptly after administration.

Karaya Gum19:
Introduction
Karaya gum, also known as Indian tragacanth or Streculia gum is a vegetable gum
produced as an exudate obtained from the trees of Sterculia urens (Sterculiaceae). Karaya
gum consist of an acetylated, branched heteropolysaccharide with a high component of Dgalacturonic acid and D-glucuronic acid residues. It does not contained methoxyl groups.
Karaya gum is widely used as bulk laxative. This gum is very less expensive and currently
used in a variety of products, including cosmetics, hair sprays, and lotions, to provide bulk.
Gum is least soluble of commercial plant exudates, but it absorbs water rapidly and swells to
form viscous colloidal solutions even at low concentrations. Pharmaceutically, it is used as a
Suspending agent, emulsifying agent, stabilising and thickening agent, matrix forming agent
in sustain release tablets and it has also been used in food, paper and textile industries. The
powdered gum is used in lozenges, pastes and dental fixative powders and it has proved
particularly useful as an adhesive for stoma appliances. The cross linked Tragacanth
(Epichlorhydrin) exhibits superior wicking and swelling action and hence can be used as a
potential disintegrant.

LITERATURE REVIEW
1. Abitha M H (2015)20 et al., has revealed Nature has provided us a wide variety of
materials to help improve and sustain the health of all living things either directly or
indirectly. The products from natural polymers have an integral part of human health care
system because of because of some side effects and toxicity of synthetic drugs. Natural
polymers are basically polysaccharides so they are biocompatible without any side
effects. The release mechanism of drug from this polymers is by degradation diffusion
and swelling. Polymers have been in use for many years with the aim of facilitating the
effectiveness and efficacy of the drugs and their delivery. Natural polymers possesses
wide scope in food and cosmetic industries. Natural polymers can be used as the means
of achieving predetermined rates of drug delivery and their physicochemical properties
with the ease of availability provide a platform to use it as a polymer for drug delivery
systems. Gums, mucilages, resins, and plant extracts are widely used natural materials
for conventional and novel dosage forms. The present article highlights the available
information on natural polymers and their versatile use.
.
2. N.G. Raghavendra Rao (2011)21 et al., has revealed about controlled release oral drug
delivery systems. An appropriately designed controlled release drug delivery system can
be a major advance towards solving problems concerning the targeting of a drug to a
specific organ or tissue and controlling the rate of drug delivery to the target site. The
development of oral controlled release system has been a challenge to formulation
scientist due to their inability to restrain and localize the system at targeted areas of the
gastrointestinal tract. Matrix type drug delivery system is an interesting and promising
option when developing an oral controlled release system. Availability of wide variety of
polymers and frequent dosing intervals helps the formulation scientist to develop
sustained/controlled release products. Oral Sustained release (S.R) / Controlled release
(C.R) products provide an advantage over conventional dosage forms by optimizing biopharmaceutics, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics properties of drugs in such a
way that it reduces dosing frequency to an extent that once daily dose is sufficient for
therapeutic management through uniform plasma concentration providing maximum
utility of drug with reduction in local and systemic side effects and cure or control

condition in shortest possible time by smallest quantity of drug to assure greater patient
compliance.
3. Vinod R (2013)22 et al., has revealed about mangifera indica. The purpose of the present
study was to formulate the nicorandil sustained release matrix tablets by using Mangifera
indica gum as rate controlling factor and to evaluate drug release parameters as per
various release kinetic models. The Mangifera indica gum is extracted and evaluated for
physicochemical and phytochemical property using official procedures. The tablets were
prepared by wet granulation method. The granules were evaluated for angle of repose,
loose bulk density, tapped bulk density and compressibility index, showed satisfactory
results. All the granules were lubricated and compressed and were evaluated for
uniformity of weight, content of active ingredient, thickness, friability, hardness and Invitro dissolution studies. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) study revealed that there was
no chemical interaction between drug and the gum used. All the formulation showed
compliance with Pharmacopoeial standards. In-vitro drug release studies were carried out
using USP 35/NF 30 dissolution apparatus type II at 50 rpm (rate per minute). The invitro release study of matrix tablets were carried out for 12 hr. The prepared matrix
tablets were shown 97.8%, 96.5%, 96.8%, 90.7% and 86.5% release over a period of 12
h. A better sustained drug release of 96.8% was obtained with formulation F3 at the end
of 12 h. Optimized formulation F3 was subjected to stability studies for three months,
which showed stability with respect to release pattern. Mathematical analysis of the
release kinetics indicated that the nature of drug release from the matrix tablets was
dependent on gum concentration and it was found to be diffusion coupled with erosion.

study was undertaken to find out the potential of gum from Moringa oleifera to act as a
binder and release retardant in tablet formulations. The effect of calcium sulphate
dihydrate (water insoluble) and lactose (water soluble) diluent on the release of
propranolol hydrochloride was studied. The DSC thermograms of drug, gum and mixture
of gum/drug indicated no chemical interaction. Tablets (F1, F2, F3, and F4) were
prepared containing calcium sulphate dihydrate as diluent, propranolol hydrochloride as
model drug using 10%, 8%, 6% and 4% w/v of gum solution as binder. Magnesium
stearate was used as lubricant. Physical and technological properties of granules and

Literature review
tablets like flow rate, Carr index, Hausner ratio, angle of repose, hardness, friability and
disintegration time were determined and found to be satisfactory. Tablets were prepared
by wet granulation method containing calcium sulphate dihydrate as excipient,
propranolol hydrochloride as model drug using 10%, 20% and 30% of gum as release
retardant, magnesium stearate was used as lubricant. Similarly tablets were prepared
replacing lactose with calcium sulphate dihydrate. Despite of the widely varying physicochemical characteristics of the excipients, the drug release profiles were found to be
similar. The drug release increased with increasing proportions of the excipient and
decreased proportion of the gum irrespective of the solubility characteristics of the
excipient. The values of release exponent n are between 0.37 and 0.54. This implies that
the release mechanism is Fickian. There is no evidence that the dissolution or erosion of
the excipient has got any effect on the release of the drug. The t50% values for tablets
containing calcium sulphate dihydrate were on an average 10%-15% longer than the
tablets containing lactose as excipient. These relatively small differences in t50% values
suggest that the nature of excipient used appeared to play a minor role in regulating the
release, while the gum content was a major factor.
5. Sharpe (2001)24 et al., has revealed about
antagonist that is highly selective for type 1 angiotensin II receptors. It was significantly
more effective than placebo in large (n >100), double-blind, randomised, multicentre
clinical trials in patients with mild to moderate hypertension. Telmisartan 20 to 160 mg
once daily produced mean reductions in supine trough systolic blood pressure and
diastolic blood pressure of up to 15.5 and 10.5 mm Hg, respectively. Maximum blood
pressure reduction occurred with a dosage of 40 to 80 mg/day. Telmisartan 40 to 120
mg/day was as effective as amlodipine 5 to 10 mg/day or atenolol 50 to 100 mg/day in
dose-titration studies. Telmisartan 20 to 160 mg/day was generally similar in efficacy to
enalapril 5 to 20 mg/day or lisinopril 10 to 40 mg/day in both titration-to-response and
other studies. Hydrochlorothiazide was coadministered in most of the titration-toresponse studies if patients remained hypertensive. Telmisartan 80 mg/day was more
effective than submaximal dosages of losartan (50 mg/day) or valsartan (80 mg/day) and
was as effective as a fixed-dose combination of losartan 50 mg plus hydrochlorothiazide
12.5 mg over the last 6 hours of the dosage interval and the whole 24-hour postdose

interval. In patients with severe hypertension, telmisartan 80 to 160 mg/day was as
effective as enalapril 20 to 40 mg/day (both agents could be titrated and combined
sequentially with hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg and amlodipine 5 mg). The addition of
hydrochlorothiazide to telmisartan was more effective than each agent alone at lowering
blood pressure in patients with hypertension. Telmisartan was well tolerated in patients
with mild to moderate hypertension and was significantly less likely to cause persistent,
dry cough than lisinopril

tablets of poorly water soluble diclofenac sodium and highly water soluble metformin
hydrochloride by direct compression using natural and synthetic polymers of cashew
gum, xanthan gum and HPMC. Extended release of diclofenac and metformin from the
matrix tablets in aqueous medium was achieved using various blends of the polymers.
7. Sonia (2013)26 et al., has revealed the advantage of administering a single dose of a drug
that is released over an extended period of time instead of numerous doses is now a days
area of interest for formulation scientists in Pharmaceutical industry. There are several
advantages of sustained release drug delivery over conventional dosage forms like
improved patient compliance due to less frequent drug administration, maximum
utilization of the drug, increased safety margin of potent drug, reduction of fluctuation in
steady-state drug levels, reduction in healthcare costs through improved therapy and
shorter treatment period. Wide varieties of polymers like Micro Crystalline Cellulose
(MCC), Carboxyl Methyl Cellulose (CMC), Ethyl Cellulose (EC), Cellulose Acetate
Phthalate, HPMC K100M, Xanthan gum, Carrageenan gum, Karaya gum, HPMC K15,
Carbopol 971P and Carbopol 974P etc. are available for retarding the release rate of
drugs hence sustains the action of drugs.
8. Sneha S.Jaiswal(2016) 27 et al., has revealed the Aqueous and ethanolic leaf extracts of
Mangifera indica leaves were evaluated against pathogenic strains of four Gram negative
bacteria Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebseilla pneumoniae and
Salmonella typhi and two Gram positive bacteria Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus
aureus. Ethanolic extract of Mangifera indica was found to be effective
against

Literature review
under study. Least effect of ethanolic extract was found on Bacillus
subtilis and
Escherichia coli. Thus, the ethanolic leaf extract of Mangifera indica was found to
possess more antibacterial potential than its aqueous extract.
9. Sailaja B. Srilakshmis.,(2016)28et al., has revealed the present In vitro study, starch
and protein mucilage fractions were isolated from the seed coats of Moringa oleifera. The
isolated fractions were evaluated as binder and disintegrant in the preparation of
paracetamol tablets. The prepared tablets were assessed for comparative In vitro quality
control parameters such as weight variation, hardness, friability and disintegration time.
The parameters were compared with paracetamol tablets prepared using potato starch as
binder and disintegrant. Significant variation was observed in hardness, friability, and
disintegration time among three formulations. Paracetamol tablets with protein-mucilage
fraction were found to be relatively harder, less friable, and taking more time to
disintegrate than the tablets made with potato starch. The tablets with isolated starch
fraction were found to be almost similar to tablets prepared with potato starch with
respect to hardness, friability and disintegration time. The isolated starch fraction and
protein-mucilage fractions exhibited good binding and disintegrating properties and were
natural in origin, nontoxic, biodegradable and biocompatible.
10. Amrinder Singh*, (2013)29 et al., has revealed the Telmisartan is a potent, long lasting,
nonpeptide antagonist of the angiotensin II type-1 (AT1) receptor that is indicated for the
treatment of essential hypertension. It selectively inhibits stimulation of the AT1 receptor
by angiotensin II without affecting other receptor systems involved in cardiovascular
regulation. Very high lipophilicity a unique feature of telmisartan coupled with a high
volume of distribution indicate that the compound offers the clinically important
advantage of good tissue penetration. It also activates peroxisome proliferatoractivated
receptor c (PPAR-c) and increase adiponectin protein content in adipocytes. By this
means they may improve insulin sensitivity. It belongs to a class II drug in BCS
classification i.e. low solubility and high permeability. One of the major problems with
this drug is its low solubility in biological fluids which results into poor bioavailability
after oral administration to improve the aqueous solubility and dissolution rate of the
telmisartan solid dispersions of drug using different methods were prepared and

investigated. Enhancement of solubility of Telmisartan was observed with solid
dispersion of drug using carriers such as Poly vinyl pyrrolidonek30, Poly ethylene glycol4000 and eta Cyclodextrin, poly ethylene glycol 6000, alkalizers, Gelucire 43/01,
Poloxamer 407, PVP K30 and HPMC E4 , PEG 6000 and NaHCO3. The observed results
showed the solid dispersion of drug greater than the pure drug.

Hypertension is one of the current prevailing diseases in the world. For this reason
drug with polymers such as mangifera indica, moringa oleifera, hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose
were prepared in order to improve the bioavailability by minimizing the side effects of the drug.

Experimental work
smaller extent,the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC), increase
disproportionately with dose. There is no evidence of clinically relevant accumulation of
telmisartan taken at the recommended dose. Plasma concentrations were higher in females
than in males, without relevant influence on efficacy.
After oral (and intravenous) administration, telmisartan is nearly exclusively excreted with
the faeces, mainly as unchanged compound. Cumulative urinary excretion is <1 % of dose.
Total plasma clearance (Cltot) is high (approximately 1,000 ml/min) compared with hepatic
blood flow (about 1,500 ml/min)30.
Therapeutic uses:
Telmisartan is an antihypertensive agent that acts primarily by decreasing blood pressure.
Telmisartan is used in the treatment of hypertension. It acts as a Angiotensin II receptor
blocker31.
Side effects:
Side effects are similar to other angiotensin II receptor antagonists and include tachycardia
and bradycardia (fast or slow heartbeat), hypotension (low blood pressure), edema (swelling
of arms, legs, lips, tongue, or throat, the latter leading to breathing problems), and allergic
reactions.
Dosage and administration:
The usually effective dose telmisartan is 4080 mg once daily. Some patients may already
benefit at a daily dose of 20 mg. In cases where the target blood pressure is not achieved,
telmisartan dose can be increased to a maximum of 80 mg once daily.
Toxicity:
Intravenous LD50 in rats is 150-200 mg/kg in males and 200 to 250 mg/kg in females. Acute
oral toxicity is low: no deaths and no changes occurred in rats or dogs at 2000 mg/kg, the
highest dose tested. Limited data are available with regard to overdosage in humans. The
most likely manifestations of overdosage with telmisartan would be hypotension, dizziness
and tachycardia; bradycardia could occur from parasympathetic (vagal) stimulation.
Contraindications: Telmisartan is contraindicated during pregnancy. Like other drugs
affecting the renin angiotensin system (RAS), telmisartan can cause birth defects, stillbirths,
and neonatal deaths. It should not be taken by breastfeeding women since it is not known
whether the drug passes into the breast milk.

Eating one or two green mangoes help in the treatment of gastro intestinal disorders and
helps with digestion and prevention of constipation, dysentery, morning sickness and piles.
The juice of mango bark is used as gargle for relief from throat diseases and diphtheria. The
juice that oozes out when mangoes are plucked can be used as a relief for bee stings and
scorpions bites. Mango leaves are dried and powdered and are used for treatment for
excreting renal stones and improving hair growth.
Mango fruit is believed strengthen the immune system of the human body. Dried mango seed
powder can be used as good toothpaste for dental problems and to strengthen the gums. The
bark is used in treatment of leucorrhoea, menorrhoea, dysmenorrhoea and other menstrual
disorders and eczema. Flowers are used in treatment of dysentery, spermatorrhoea, and they
repel mosquitoes. The gum is warmed with lime, aloe and turmeric for healing sprains and
painful joints. Leaves are considered astringent, and used in treating diabetes and cholera.
Unripe fruit of mango fruit is rich in vitamin C which is equal to that of 6 lemon fruits. It
also contains a large number of starch, and acids like citric, malic, oxalic and succinic
compounds which in turn increases bile secretion and act as antiseptic in the intestines. They
are also said to be wonders in controlling morning sickness, treating heat stroke, constipation
and indigestion. The milky juice of the plant is also prescribed for psoriasis. Scorpion bites
and ring worms, while the bark and kernel are used in treating leucorrhoea, menstrual
disorders, etc.

4.8. MICRO CRYSTALLINE CELLULOSE PROFILE:
Synonym: Micro crystalline cellulose
Description37:
Micro crystalline cellulose is an odorless and tasteless, white to slightly off-white, fibrous or
granular, free-flowing powder that is a synthetic modification of the natural polymer,
cellulose. Specifically, it is a modification of alkali cellulose, which is produced when
purified wood pulp is treated with 18% sodium hydroxide solution. Methyl and hydroxyl
propyl ether groups are introduced into the molecule by reacting the alkali cellulose with
methyl chloride and propylene oxide, respectively. The degree of substitution (DS) of
commercial MCC with these methoxy and hydroxyl propoxy groups will vary depending on
the commercial use and properties desired. These added groups confer on the molecule its
unique properties of being cold-water soluble, while at the same time exhibiting reversible
gelation when heated and recooled.
Page 28
Experimental work
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES38:
General properties common to the MCC are listed below. Individual type exhibits these
properties to varying degrees and may have additional properties that are desirable for
specific applications.
Surface tension: Surface tensions range from 42 to 56 m N/m. The surface tension of
water is 72 m N/m; a typical surfactant has a surface tension of 30 m N/m.
Solubility: dissolve in water and some solvent. Such as, the suitable proportion of
ethanol/ water, propanol/water.
USES:
There are many fields of application for micro crystalline cellulose, includes tile adhesives,
cement renders, gypsum products, food and cosmetics. Functionally it is similar to hydroxyl
ethyl methyl cellulose which is used in ophthalmic application. It is used as a excipient or
tableting ingredient in oral tablets and capsule formulations. It is also used as a binder39.

4.12. EVALUATION:
The tablets are evaluated for Appearance, Weight variation, Thickness, Diameter and
Friability to meet the pharmacopeia standards.
4.12.1. Weight variation of the tablets
20 tablets were chosen at systematic manner from each batch and were weighed accurately.
Average weights of each batch were calculated. The standard deviation was calculated to
determine the deviations by using the formula
Percentage deviation = (Avg wt- Individual wt/Avg wt) X100
Limit for weight variation is 10%
4.12.2. Hardness of the tablets
From each batch of the formulation randomly 5 tablets were selected and hardness is
measured by using Monsanto Hardness Tester. Then standard deviation and average was
determined, hardness was calculated.
4.12.3. Thickness and Diameter of the tablets
10 tablets were randomly preferred from every group and measured by using Vernier
calipers. The average thickness, diameter and standard deviation were calculated.
4.12.4. Friability of the tablets
From each batch of the formulation, 20 tablets were selected and friability was determined by
using Roche friabilator. A pre-weighed tablet sample was positioned in Roche type friabilator
and started for 100 revolutions (25rpm). Then redust the tablets and again re-weighed. The %
friability was calculated by using the formula
Friability index = (Initial wt-Final wt) x100
Limit not more than 1%
Page 40
Experimental work
4.12.5. Drug content
Three tablets were chosen aimlessly from each batch and taken separately into three 100ml
volumetric flasks. In each flask 10oml of Hcl buffer of pH-1.2 was poured and kept for 24hrs.
After filtering the solutions, the absorbance of the filtrate was measured at 296nm. From this
absorbance, drug content was determined and average and standard deviation were
calculation.
Drug content = Concentration x Dilution factor x Conversion factor x Amount of stock
solution
4.13. In-Vitro drug release studies42:
These tests serve 2 important functions. First, data from such tests are
necessary as a guide for formulation during the development stage, prior to clinical testing.
Second, In-Vitro testing is necessary to ensure batch to batch uniformity in the production of
a proven dosage form.

dissolution apparatus. Withdraw 10ml of sample through auto sampler containing free flow
filter, at the sampling time. Replace aliquots withdrawn for analysis with equal volumes of
dissolution medium which is holed at 37 0.50c.
Standard solution:
An accurately weighed 40mg of drug was dissolved in phosphate buffer and volume was
made upto 100ml in a volumetric flask (Stock solution-I 1000g/ml). From this 10ml of
solution were pipette out and the volume was making upto 100ml (Stock solution-II ,
100g/ml). Then the absorbence was calculated at 296 nm by using UV- Spectrophotometer.
% release of Drug per tablet can be calculated by using the formula
Test/Std X Std(wt)/100 X 900/20 X potency/100
For all formulations the results of In- Vitro profile were fitted into three kinetic models of
data treatment as follows:
1. Cumulative percentage drug released versus time (zero- order kinetics model).
2. Cumulative percentage drug released versus sq of t (Higuchis model).
3. Log cumulative percentage dug released versus (Korsmeyer- Peppas).
Page 42
Experimental work
In- vitro drug release studies:
Dissolution studies were conducted using a USP II paddle method (75 rpm, 37 C, and 900
ml dissolution medium) with a Tablet dissolution tester . Telmisartan tablet (80mg) was
exposed
dissolution medium at predetermined intervals (10, 15, 20, 30, 45 and 60 min) and then drug
concentration was determined by UV (Shimadzu) at 296nm. An equivalent amount of fresh
medium was added to maintain a constant dissolution volume. The reference product and a
selected batch(F6 ) were again taken for a dissolution study in a different media(4.5pH
Phosphate buffer, 0.1N HCl, 4.5pH acetate buffer) to compare dissolution profile of a
selected batch with a reference product.
Page 43

t = Time in days. (95)
Hence the charge of drug release is comparative to the mutual of sq of t. If plot gives
a straight line, slope is one; the dosage form is measured to follow Higuchi Kinetics.
Hence the results are tabulated.
d) Korsmeyer-Peppas equation
To estimate the release of drug mechanism, it was additionally plotted in Peppas
equation as log cumulative % of drug release against time.
Mt/M = Ktn
Log Mt/M = log K+n log t

Summary
7. SUMMARY
Drug is an anti-hypertensive agent use as treatment of heart diseases. It has relatively
short biological half-life of 24 hrs. Oral bioavailability is less than 42 %. It dose is 40mg twice
daily. It is rapidly absorbed in the upper part of G.I. tract and rapidly eliminated which results in
the change in drug concentration of plasma, so therapeutic amount of drug needed for the
treatment will not reach the site of action. In order to hold the therapeutic amount of the drug is
needed to prolong the release of drug which can be obtained by novel drug delivery system.
In the current revision an attempt was made to prepare Matrix tablets by wet granulation
method using different polymers. Different types of polymers such as Mangifera indica, MCC
and Moringa oleifera are used as drug release retard polymers as they gave optimum drug release
as well as long acting effect. It was also found that the tablet formulations retarded the release of
drug for 12hrs.
Prepared Matrix tablets of Drug were evaluated for hardness, Weight variation, Friability,
Thickness, Enlargement Index and Stability studies. The release of drug from F6 formulation
having 30mg of Moringa oleifera, 175.5mg of MCC was governed by Non-Fickian transport and
zero order release. Among the formulations F6 shows drug release of 99.95% at 12hr. Hence it is
optimized formulation, Stability studies has not shown any significant changes during the period
of 3 months.
