Formulation and in vitro evaluation of mucoadhesive controlled release matrix tablets of flurbiprofen using response surface methodology

Abstract: The objective of the current study was to formulate mucoadhesive controlled release matrix tablets of flurbiprofen and to optimize its drug release profile and bioadhesion using response surface methodology. Tablets were prepared via a direct compression technique and evaluated for in vitro dissolution parameters and bioadhesive strength. A central composite design for two factors at five levels each was employed for the study. Carbopol 934 and sodium carboxymethylcellulose were taken as independent variables.… Show more

“…Drug‐loaded hydrogel discs were assessed for OXP release in 900‐mL solutions at pHs of 1.2 and 7.4 by a USP Dissolution Apparatus‐II at a temperature of 37 ± 0.5 °C. These samples were evaluated at a λ max of 205 nm with UV–visible spectrophotometry (UV‐1601, Shimadzu) …”

“…It is worth mentioning that, when analyzing the Peppas–Sahlin model, which also showed good applicability, the values of K 1 were lower than K 0 , which indicates that the drug release was mainly controlled by Fickian diffusion, together with the contribution of relaxation of the polymer chain, characteristic of transport mechanism case II. A recent study by Khalid and collaborators [ 41 ] showed similar behavior when evaluating the mechanism of release of flurbiprofen-based mucoadhesive tablets.…”

“…One of these mechanisms is the production of acidic substances, such as hemolysin, which has higher activity at more acidic pH levels (5.5), Historical data have shown that during the evolutionary stage of T. cruzi the pH of host cells is always below 6.0. In addition, recent studies have shown that the pH of the interior of endosomes and lysosomes ranges between 5.0-6.0 and 4.5-5.0, respectively To prove this fact, the researchers inoculated somewhat more basic solutions (pH 6.2) and measured certain delay in the evolutionary process of the parasite [41][42][43][44][45].…”
