Studying the Effect of Different Variables on the Formulation of Mucoadhesive Buccal Patches of Captopril

Objective: Buccal patch is a non-dissolving thin matrix modified release dosage form which was developed to administer into the unconscious and less co-operative patients.Methods: The mucoadhesive buccal patches of hydrochlorothiazide (HCZ) and atenolol (ATN) were prepared by solvent casting technique using various concentrations of sodium alginate, hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose, carbopol 934P and sodium carboxy methyl cellulose polymer and polyvinyl alcohol as a backing layer. The formulated patches were evaluated for their physicochemical parameters like thickness, weight variation, surface pH, content uniformity, folding endurance, swelling percentage studies and tensile strength, in vitro and ex vivo drug permeation. Results: The infra-red (IR) spectra showed no interaction between drug and polymer. Physicochemical characteristics of all the samples were found to be satisfactory and well within the range. Swelling of the films were increased with the increasing content of the polymers and it was found that swelling front erosion was comparably slower in the formulations with the carbopol 934 and HPMC. This is probably due to their marked viscous properties and therefore formulation provided sustained release of the drug. The percentage drug content of all the formulations were found to be in the range of 97-99 %. Among the patches, FC (Carbopol 934 and HPMC) patches were considered satisfactory for maintaining the in vitro residence in the oral cavity for almost 8h. Formulations FD (with CP and NaCMC) and FC showed high tensile strength and % E/B which is an indication of the strength and elasticity of the patch. The films were exhibited sustained release for more than 6 h which was confirmed by the in vitro release data and kinetic data reveals the combination of diffusion and erosion mechanism. The best mucoadhesive performance and matrix controlled release was exhibited by the formulation FC.Conclusion: The formulation of HCZ and ATN mucoadhesive buccal patch was found to be satisfactory and reasonable.

“…Materials with hydrophobicity, low water permeability and drug impermeability properties such as melted wax [10], ethyl cellulose [1,4,11], and Eudragit RL100 [12] have been used as a backing membrane. A wide range of polymers such as hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, carbopol, poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA), and poly (vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) [13][14][15][16][17] have been employed as a matrix and mucoadhesive layer in buccal patches. In order to improve the film properties, including film-forming ability, mechanical and mucoadhesive properties, a combination of hydrophilic polymers is generally used.…”

Objective: The objectives of this study were to prepare and characterize a buccal mucoadhesive patch using poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA), poly (vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) as a mucoadhesive matrix, Eudragit S100 as a backing layer, and lidocaine HCl as a model drug.Methods: Lidocaine HCl buccal patches were prepared using double casting technique. Molecular interactions in the polymer matrices were studied using attenuated total reflectance-fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffractometry. Mechanical and mucoadhesive properties were measured using texture analyzer. In vitro permeation of lidocaine HCl from the patch was conducted using Franz diffusion cell.Results: Both of the free and lidocaine HCl patches were smooth and transparent, with good flexibility and strength. ATR-FTIR, DSC and X-ray diffractometry studies confirmed the interaction of PVA and PVP. Mechanical properties of matrices containing 60% PVP were significantly lower than those containing 20% PVP (*P<0.05). Mucoadhesive properties had a tendency to decrease with the concentration of PVP in the patch. The patch containing 60% PVP had significantly lower muco-adhesiveness than those containing 20% PVP (*P<0.05). In vitro permeation revealed that the pattern of lidocaine HCl permeation started with an initial fast permeation, followed by a slower permeation rate. The initial permeation fluxes follow the zero-order model of which rate was not affected by the PVP concentrations in the PVA/PVP matrix. Conclusion:Mucoadhesive buccal patches fabricated with PVA/PVP were successfully prepared. Incorporation of PVP in PVA/PVP matrix affected the strength of polymeric matrix and mucoadhesive property of patches.

Objective: The present work was aimed at preparation of transdermal patches by a solvent casting method using a varying concentration of polymers i.e. methocel (K15 and K100), ethocel (4 and 10), gelatin, chitosan, eudragit (RL and RS) grade using plasticizer (glycerin and propylene glycol).Methods: The ratio of drug to polymers and plasticizer was varied and the effect of formulation variables was studied. Prepared transdermal patches were evaluated for physicochemical properties, in-vitro permeation studies, content uniformity, primary skin irritation studies and FT-IR studies.Results: The formulated transdermal patch by using Methocel K 100 M showed good physical properties. The average weight of patches prepared using glycerin as a plasticizer were ranged from 42.33-67.00 mg and propylene glycol as a plasticizer were ranged from 40.67-67.67 mg. The percentage moisture absorption varies from 1.76 to 10.73 for patches formulated using glycerin and 2.28 to 7.97 for propylene glycol patches. The percentage moisture loss from patches prepared using glycerin was ranged from 2.75 to 11.54 and 2.87 to 12.02 from propylene glycol. The water vapour transmission rate from patches prepared using glycerin was ranged from 0.25 to 0.92 and 0.41 to 1.76. The formulated patch showed the acceptable quantity of medicament ranged from (100.20-101.05%). This result met the test content uniformity as per BP (85% to 115%). According to that, the drug was consistent throughout the patches. The formulation PGD is considered as the best formulation, since it shows a maximum in vitro drug release as 43.75 % at 24 h. The drug release kinetics studied showed that the majority of formulations was following zero order.Conclusion: In conclusion, controlled release transdermal drug delivery system patches of aliskiren can be prepared using polymer combinations, with a different plasticizer. The release rate of drug depends upon the polymer. However, release kinetics followed zero order.
