Robustness of Controlled Release Tablets Based on a Cross-linked Pregelatinized Potato Starch Matrix. AAPS PharmSciTech 2020; 21:148. [PMID: 32436061 DOI: 10.1208/s12249-020-01674-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2019] [Accepted: 03/31/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of a cross-linked pregelatinized potato starch (PREGEFLO® PI10) as matrix former for controlled release tablets. Different types of tablets loaded with diprophylline, diltiazem HCl or theophylline were prepared by direct compression of binary drug/polymer blends. The drug content was varied from 20 to 50%. Two hydroxypropyl methylcellulose grades (HPMC K100LV and K100M) were studied as alternative matrix formers. Drug release was measured in a variety of release media using different types of experimental set-ups. This includes 0.1 N HCl, phosphate buffer pH 6.8 and water, optionally containing different amounts of NaCl, sucrose, ethanol or pancreatin, fasted state simulated gastric fluid, fed state simulated gastric fluid, fasted state simulated intestinal fluid, fed state simulated intestinal fluid as well as media simulating the conditions in the colon of healthy subjects and patients suffering from Crohn's disease. The USP apparatuses I/II/III were used under a range of operating conditions and optionally coupled with the simulation of additional mechanical stress. Importantly, the drug release kinetics was not substantially affected by the investigated environmental conditions from tablets based on the cross-linked pregelatinized potato starch, similar to HPMC tablets. However, in contrast to the latter, the starch-based tablets roughly kept their shape upon exposure to the release media (they "only" increased in size) during the observation period, and the water penetration into the systems was much less pronounced. Thus, the investigated cross-linked pregelatinized potato starch offers an interesting potential as matrix former in controlled release tablets.

Abstract
To explore the potential utility of combination of hydrophilic matrix with membrane-controlled technology, the present study prepared tablets of a water-soluble model drug (ambroxol hydrochloride), through process of direct compression and spray coating. Single-factor experiments were accomplished to optimize the formulation. In vivo pharmacokinetics was then performed to evaluate the necessity and feasibility of further development of this simple process and low-cost approach. Various release rates could be easily obtained by adjusting the viscosity and amount of hypromellose, pore-former ratios in coating dispersions and coating weight gains. Dissolution profiles of coated tablets displayed initial delay, followed by near zero-order kinetics. The pharmacokinetic study of different formulations showed that lag time became longer as the permeability of coating membrane decreased, which was consistent with the in vitro drug release trend. Besides, in vitro/in vivo correlation study indicated that coated tablets exhibited a good correlation between in vitro release and in vivo absorption. The results, therefore, demonstrated that barrier-membrane-coated matrix formulations were extremely promising for further application in industrialization and commercialization.

Abstract
Co-administration of drugs with alcohol can affect the plasma concentration of drugs in patients. It is also known that the excipients used in the formulation of drugs may not always be resistant to alcohol. This study evaluates effect of varying alcohol concentrations on theophylline release from two grades of Grewia mollis polysaccharides. X-ray microtomography showed that native polysaccharide formulation compacts were not homogenous after the mixing process resulting in its failure in swelling studies. Removal of starch from the native polysaccharide resulted in homogenous formulation compacts resistant to damage in high alcoholic media in pH 6.8 (40%v/v absolute ethanol). Destarched polymer compacts had a significantly higher hardness (375N) than that of the native polysaccharide (82N) and HPMC K4M (146N). Dissolution studies showed similarity at all levels of alcohol tested (f2=57-91) in simulated gastric media (pH 1.2). The dissolution profiles in the simulated intestinal fluids were also similar (f2=60-94), with the exception of the native polysaccharide in pH 6.8 (40%v/v absolute ethanol) (f2=43). This work highlights the properties of Grewia polysaccharide as a matrix former that can resist high alcoholic effects therefore; it may be suitable as an alternative to some of the commercially available matrix formers with wider applications for drug delivery as a cheaper alternative in the developing world.

Abstract
Inorganic nanoparticles, such as titanium dioxide, silicon dioxide, iron oxide, zinc oxide, or silver nanoparticles, are added to some food products and food packaging materials to obtain specific functional attributes, such as lightening, powder flow, nutrition, or antimicrobial properties. These engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) all have dimensions below 100nm, but may still vary considerably in composition, morphology, charge, surface properties and aggregation state, which effects their gastrointestinal fate and potential toxicity. In addition to their intrinsic physicochemical and morphological properties, the extrinsic properties of the media they are suspended in also affects their biotransformation, gastrointestinal fate and bioactivity. For instance, inorganic nanoparticles are usually consumed as part of a food or meal that contains numerous other components, such as lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, surfactants, minerals, and water, which may alter their gastrointestinal fate. This review article provides an overview of the potential effects of food components on the behavior of ENMs in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), and highlights some important physicochemical and colloidal mechanisms by which the food matrix may alter the properties of inorganic nanoparticles. This information is essential for developing appropriate test methods to establish the potential toxicity and biokinetics of inorganic nanoparticles in foods.
