Design, Development and In vivo Evaluation of Core in Cup Tablets of Budesonide Swalin Parija, Guru Prasad Mohanta, Upendra Nath Nanda, V. Saikishore Research Journal of Pharmacy and Technology, 2022 Budesonide is widely used drug for treatment of active inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Core in-cup tablets were prepared to achieve a prolonged release of Budesonide and for alleviating the symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease. The objective of this study was to investigate differences in the pharmacokinetic patterns between an optimized core in cup tablet formulation and pure Budesonide suspension. In-vivo evaluation studies were performed based on the uniform and reliable results of in-vitro drug release studies. Various pharmacokinetic parameters were compared to obtain mean plasma drug concentration curve versus time. The pure drug suspension and Core-in-cup tablets formulation of Budesonide were administered to two groups of white New Zealand rabbits (n=6) through the oral route following cross over design pattern. The drug concentration in plasma samples were measured using LC-MS/MS method. Pharmacokinetic parameters were determined for each formulation. The comparison of the plasma time curves of the dosage forms showed that each dosage form caused significant differences in the drug plasma levels. The optimized core in cup tablet formulation shown some lag phase initially before releasing the drug. The mean residence time of core in cup tablet formulation was found to be more than the pure drug suspension formulation. The oral administration of Budesonide resulted in a low and quite variable AUC of 154.1±1.44 ng/ml/hr., whereas the optimized core-in-cup tablets resulted in AUC of 918.2±3.11 ng/ml/hr. The bioavailability of optimized formulation was enhanced six times compared with pure drug suspension. From the above results, it can be concluded that the prepared core in cup tablet can be considered as one of the promising formulation techniques for chronotherapeutic management of inflammatory bowel disease.
Comparative in vivo evaluation of marketed sustained release and optimized pulsatile formulation of propranolol hydrochloride Vamsi krishan B, Babu rao CH, Saikishore V International Journal of Research in Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2020 Chrono pharmaceutical drug delivery system is devoted to the availability of active on a pace that idyllically matches biological requisite of disease treatment. It embodies time controlled and site-specific drug delivery systems, subsequently optimizing therapeutic action and lessening side-effect’s. In the present study optimized pulsatile formulation of Propranolol Hydrochloride ought to deliver drug at pre-set pattern at right time and site is evaluated for pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic performance after oral administration and compared with an existing marketed sustained formulation of Propranolol Hcl. The study was carried out in male New Zealand albino rabbits through cross over design pattern and levels of plasma measured by means of LC-MS/MS method. Pharmacokinetic parameters of designed pulsatile formulation was measured and observed to have statistical significance with existing marketed sustained formulation. The In-house pulsatile dosage form able to show lag phase and the mean residence time of pulsatile dosage form (23.20.14h.) was found to be beyond the marketed sustained dosage form (14.8 0.01h.). Pharmacokinetic data revealed a maximum guard against adrenaline levels at 6 h post oral intake and dropped to 50% after 12 h with Marketed formulation. Whereas in case of pulsatile formulation administration a maximum protection was obtained at 12 h. and continued over a period of 18 h. It is concluded that the designed pulsatile formulation offers a promising way of drug release for a programmed time period at desired site, once the administration time and pulse time are aligned with circadian pattern.
