Formulation and evaluation of a pulsatile drug delivery system using time- and pH-dependant polymers

Abstract: The aim of the present study was to develop fast-release enteric-coated tablets for pulsatile drug delivery to the colon. The novelty of this work is a combination of pH- and time-dependant enteric polymers as a single coating. Eudragit S100 was used as a pH-dependant polymer and eudragit RL100 was used as a time-dependant polymer. Theophylline was taken as a model drug. Dissolution studies of enteric-coated tablets were performed with different media having a pH of 1.2, 7.4, and 6.8. Results of the dissolutio… Show more

“…It was shown [30] that pulsed delivery of tabletted theophylline into the colon could be achieved by using a monolayer coating that varied in thickness (5 -10%) and contained a mixture of Eudragit ® grades S100/RS100 in 2:3, 1:1, and 4:1 ratios and S100/RS100 in a 3:1 ratio that were prepared from a CH 2 Cl 2 :i-PrOH (3:7) solvent mixture. As it turned out, increasing the S100 content slowed significantly the drug release.…”

“…Programmable pulsatile, colon-specific release was achieved from a capsule device over a 2-24 h period, consistent with the demands of chronotherapeutic drug delivery. Kadam and Gattani (2009) formulated and evaluated fast release enteric-coated tablets for pulsatile drug release to the colon. The novelty of this work was the combination of pH-and time-dependant enteric polymers as a single coating agent.…”

“…The problem with this approach is that the intestinal pH may vary because it is affected by diet, disease, presence of fatty acids and other fermentation products. Moreover, there is a considerable difference in inter-and intraindividual gastrointestinal tract pH, and this causes a major problem in reproducible drug delivery to the large intestine 10 . The most commonly used pH dependent polymers are derivatives of acrylic acid and cellulose 11 .…”
