Objective: The present investigation was to formulate controlled release of mucoadhesive clarithromycin tablets using natural polymers.Methods: Tamarind seed polysaccharide obtained from Tamarindus indica and chitosan act as natural polymers. The formulated tablets of the combined form of thrombospondin (TSP) and chitosan were analyzed by in vitro dissolution method. The optimized formulations were selected for ex vivo and in vivo studies and compared with hydroxypropyl methylcellulose K100 polymer by evaluating gastric retention period by X-ray imaging technique, and drug bioavailability by a pharmacokinetic method from blood samples was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method.Results: The gastric mucoadhesive tablets were prepared using chito-TSP polymers. The in vitro drug release showed good release character for 24 h. The ex vivo studies of tablets showed good adhesive property for a long time. The X-ray imaging technique also proved the adhesive character of tablets. From blood serum sample of rabbits, bioavailability of the drug is in according to the controlled release mechanism.Conclusion: The selected formulations were subjected to stability studies. The study concluded that combination of chitosan and TSP is best natural polymer for mucoadhesion by the advantages of controlled release and biodegradation.

An Evaluation of the Binding Strength of Okra Gum and the Drug Release Characteristics of Tablets Prepared from It

et al. 2017

The aim of this study is to evaluate the adhesion ability of okra gum, which is gaining popularity as a tablet binder. For this purpose, gum was extracted from okra pods, and the binding strength of different concentrations (1%, 3%, and 5%) was determined quantitatively. Additionally, naproxen sodium tablets were prepared by using okra gum as a binder and were evaluated for their properties including hardness, friability, disintegration time, and dissolution rate. The binding strength values were compared with that of pre-gelatinized starch, a commonly used tablet binder. The results from universal testing machine indicate that the binding strengths of all dispersions of okra increase as the concentration increases from 1% to 5% and ranges from 2.5 to 4.5 N, which are almost twice a high as those of pre-gelatinized starch. The tablets prepared with okra gum have shown good mechanical strength with hardness values of 7–8.5 kg/cm2 and a friability <1%, comparable to tablets prepared with starch. The disintegration time was longer (7.50 min with okra gum and 5.05 min with starch paste), and the drug release from these tablets was slower than the formulations with starch. The higher binding ability of okra gum probably linked with its chemical composition as it mainly contains galactose, rhamnose, and galacturonic acid. This study concludes that okra gum is a better binder than pre-gelatinized starch, it might be explored in future for introduction as a cost-effective binder in the pharmaceutical industry.
