Double-layered osmotic pump controlled release tablets of actarit: In vitro and in vivo evaluation

The aim of the study was to develop actarit double-layered osmotic pump tablets to overcome the weak points of actarit common tablets, such as short half-life and large plasma concentration fluctuations. Single factor experiment and orthogonal test were applied to optimize the formulation;the pharmacokinetic study was performed in beagle dogs adopting actarit common tablets as reference tablets. The optimal formulation was as follows: drug layer: 150 mg actarit, 240 mg PEO-N80, 50 mg NaCl;push layer: 140 mg PEO-WSR303, 20 mg NaCl;coating solution: 30 g cellulose acetate and 6 g PEG 4000 in 1000 ml 94% acetone solution, 60 mg coating weight gain. The pharmacokinetic study showed that T max was prolonged by the contrast of commercial common tablets with constant drug release rate, but the bioavailability was equivalent. And a good in vivo –in vitro correlation of the actarit osmotic pump tablets was also established. The designed actarit osmotic pump tablets can be applied for rheumatoid arthritis, proposing a promising replacement for the marked common products.

Lappaconitine solid dispersion monolithic osmotic tablet and lappaconitine push-pull osmotic pump: preparation and comparison of their release performance in vitro

Lappaconitine is a water-insoluble drug, which was used as model drug in this study. Currently, two osmotically controlled delivery systems that are widely used for water-insoluble drug are monolithic osmotic tablet （MOT） and push-pull osmotic pump （PPOP）. In the present study, lappaconitine solid dispersion monolithic osmotic tablet （lappaconitine-SD-MOT） and lappaconitine-PPOP were developed. The prepared lappaconitine-PPOP was able to delivery drug at the rate of approximate zero-order （r = 0.9931）, and the cumulative release was above 95.0%. The lappaconitine-SD-MOT showed a comparatively poor linearity when the data were plotted according to the zero-order equation （r = 0.9798）, and the cumulative release was 84.69%. Lappaconitine-PPOP exhibited better controlled drug release （higher regression value） compared with lappaconitine-SD-MOT. The similarity index （f2） between lappaconitine-PPOP and lappaconitine-SD-MOT was 49.1 （〈50）. A clear difference of drug release characteristics between the lappaconitine-SD-MOT and lappaconitine-PPOP was revealed. It indicated that the drug release performance of lappaconitine-PPOP could gain favorable zero-order kinetics and higher cumulative release compared with lappaconitine-SD-MOT. Therefore, these results suggested that PPOP was still a very effective device for the delivery of poorly water-soluble drug with zero-order pattern.

Preparation of controlled porosity osmotic pump tablets for salvianolic acid and optimization of the formulation using an artificial neural network method

In this paper controlled porosity osmotic pump tablets(CPOPT)for salvianolic acid(SA)were prepared and optimized with experimental design methods including an artificial neutral network(ANN)method.Three causal factors,i.e.,drug,osmotic pressure promoting agent rate,PEG400 content in coating solution and coating weight,were evaluated based on their effects on drug release rate.The linear correlation coefficient of the accumulative amount of drug release and the time of 12 h,r(Y_(1)),and the sum of the absolute value between measured and projected values,Y_(2),were used as outputs to optimize the formulation.The weight expression Y=(1-Y_(1))^(2)+Y_(2)^(2) was used in the calculation.Furthermore,the ANN and uniform design gave similar optimization results,but ANN projected the outputs better than the uniform design.This paper showed that the release rate of salvianolic acid B and that of the total salvianolic acid was consistent in the optimized formulation.

Redefinition to bilayer osmotic pump tablets as subterranean river system within mini-earth via three-dimensional structure mechanism

Defining and visualizing the three-dimensional(3 D) structures of pharmaceuticals provides a new and important tool to elucidate the phenomenal behavior and underlying mechanisms of drug delivery systems. The mechanism of drug release from complex structured dosage forms, such as bilayer osmotic pump tablets, has not been investigated widely for most solid 3 D structures. In this study, bilayer osmotic pump tablets undergoing dissolution, as well as after dissolution in a desiccated solid state were examined, and visualized by synchrotron radiation micro-computed tomography(SR-μCT). In situ formed 3 D structures at different in vitro drug release states were characterized comprehensively. A distinct movement pattern of NaCl crystals from the push layer to the drug layer was observed, beneath the semi-permeable coating in the desiccated tablet samples. The 3 D structures at different dissolution time revealed that the pushing upsurge in the bilayer osmotic pump tablet was directed via peripheral“roadways”. Typically, different regions of the osmotic front, infiltration region, and dormant region were classified in the push layer during the dissolution of drug from tablet samples. According to the observed3 D microstructures, a “subterranean river model” for the drug release mechanism has been defined to explain the drug release mechanism.
