EFV is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor and is used as part of the highly active antiretroviral therapy for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV) infection. It is also used in combination with other antiretroviral agents as part of an expanded post-exposure prophylaxis regimen to prevent HIV transmission for those exposed to materials associated with a high risk of HIV transmission.EFV has poor aqueous solubility and is a BCS class II drug (1). EFV tablets of 600 mg are available, while lower doses (50, 100 and 200 mg) are generally available as capsules and are prepared by a wet granulation process (2, 3). 185Acta Pharm. 60 (2010) [185][186][187][188][189][190][191][192][193][194][195] Original research paper DOI: 10.2478/v10007-010-0019-6 Impact of superdisintegrants on efavirenz release from tablet formulations Efavirenz (EFV) tablets of different doses were prepared by a wet granulation process using different superdisintegrants such as crosscarmellose sodium (CCS), sodium starch glycollate (SSG) and crosspovidone (CP) to evaluate the role of different disintegrants on the in vitro release of EFV. Further, the mode of addition of disintegrants on EFV dissolution from tablets containing 600 mg of the drug was evaluated by incorporating the disintegrants extragranularly (EG), intragranularly (IG) or distributing them equally (IG and EG). In vitro dissolution of the prepared tablets was conducted using the recommended medium and a dissolution medium developed in-house, which had the ability to discriminate between the formulations.The t 50 and t 80 values were indicative of the fact that the drug release was faster from tablet formulations containing CP. CP was able to release the drug faster than the other two disintegrants in both dissolution media and the drug release was unaffected by the mode of CP addition.Keywords: efavirenz, superdisintegrants, granulation * Correspondence; e-mail: rajeshyelchuri@rediffmail.com Brought to you by | MIT Libraries Authenticated Download Date | 5/12/18 2:48 PM Superdisintegrants generally improve disintegration efficiency compared to traditional disintegrants. They are generally used at low levels in solid dosage forms, typically 1-10 % of mass relative to the total mass of the dosage unit (4). Examples of superdisintegrants are crosscarmellose sodium (CCS), sodium starch glycollate (SSG) and crosspovidone (CP), which are cross-linked cellulose, a cross-linked starch and a cross--linked polymer (polyvinyl pyrrolidone), respectively. Wet granulation is one of the frequently used techniques to prepare blends to be compressed into tablets. The disintegrant can be incorporated in the blend before granulation, referred to as intragranular addition (IG), or after granulation, referred to as extragranular addition (EG), or it can be distributed both intra and extragranularly.

Atenolol is a beta-blocker that is cardioselective, meaning it only affects beta receptors. It is used to treat angina pectoris and high blood pressure. The HPLC and Capillary Zone Electrophoresis analytical technique was developed for the purpose of detecting and quantifying Atenolol in human plasma, according to the study paper you're reading right now. The internal standard and atenolol were recovered from the solution after being extracted from plasma using the Liquid-Liquid Extraction method. A mobile phase of 10mM sodium hydrogen phosphate, 7.3mM Sodium Lauryl sulphate (pH=3), methanol, and acetonitrile (40:57:3, v:v:v) is used, with a flow rate of 1.0ml/min. A fluorescence detector was used to detect the isolated materials, which had an excitation wavelength of 229 nm and an emission wavelength of 298 nm. With this in view, Atenolol's and the internal norm's survival times are observed to be 5.4 and 8.3 minutes, respectively. The linear correlation coefficient (R20.9992) was found in the Atenolol calibration curve. The recovery rate for atenolol and an internal norm was estimated to be between 76 and 87 percent. Solid-phase extraction was performed on an uncoated silica capillary with a diameter of 58.5 cm 75 m, and detection was performed at 194 nm in the Capillary Zone Electrophoresis procedure. For an electrolyte solution containing 50mM H3BO3 and 50mM Na2B4O7 (50:50 V/V), atenolol was determined to be present in the solution in less than 3 minutes. Energized with a voltage of 25kV and injected with a hydrodynamic configuration for 4S. Under various conditions, this method was used to assess the stability and capability of measuring Atenolol in human plasma.
