The aim of present study is to formulate and evaluate extended release matrix tablet of Nateglinide by direct compression method using different polymer like HPMC K4 and HPMC K15. Matrix tablet of nateglidine were prepared in combination with the polymer HPMC K4, HPMC K15, along with the excipients and the formulations were evaluated for tablet properties and in vitro drug release studies. Nateglinide matrix tablet prepared by using polymer such as HPMC K4 and HPMC K15, it was found that HPMC K15 having higher viscosity as compare to HPMC K4 therefore different concentration of polymer were studied to extend the drug release up to 12 h. The tablets of Nateglinide prepared by direct compression had acceptable physical characteristics and satisfactory drug release. The study demonstrated that as far as the formulations were concerned, the selected polymers proved to have an acceptable flexibility in terms of in-vitro release profile. In present the study the percent drug release for optimize batch was found to 94.62%. Hence it can be conclude that Nateglinide extended release matrix tablet can prepared by using HPMC. The swollen tablet also maintains its physical integrity during the drug release study Keywords: Tablet, in-vitro drug release, Nateglinide, HPMC

The most common instability problem of gelatin capsules arises from negative impact of extremes of temperature and especially atmospheric relative humidity on the mechanical integrity of the capsule shells with adverse effect extended even to the fill material. Moreover, choice of fill materials is highly restricted either due to their specific chemical structure, physical state or hygroscopicity. Additional reports of unpredictable disintegration and dissolution of filled hard gelatin capsules in experimental studies have prompted the search for a better alternative capsule shell material. The present review aims to provide an overview on the physicochemical, pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical properties of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) as capsule shell material and perform comparative evaluation of HPMC and gelatin in terms of in vitro/in vivo performance and storage stability. HPMC capsule provides a highly flexible and widely acceptable platform capable of solving numerous challenges currently facing the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries and expands the possibilities for selection of different types of fill materials. The current topic introduces a new section on influence of various factors on in vitro dissolution of HPMC capsules. Delayed in vitro disintegration/dissolution of HPMC capsules in aqueous medium does not produce any negative effect in vivo. However, advancements in the processes of production and filling of HPMC capsule shells and detailed studies on effects of various parameters on their in vitro/in vivo dissolution would establish their supremacy over hard gelatin capsules in future.

The lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) under mixing with acrylic acid (AA) monomer has been studied by turbidity measurements. It has been found that the LCST of the HPMC was drastically reduced from 60°C to 38°C with the increase of the concentration of AA, while the HPMC is kept at 0.5 wt%. The driving force shifting the LCST is attributed to the hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interaction of the molecules. Then surfactant-free HPMC-PAA nanogels have been synthesized via the polymerization of AA monomer with the collapsed HPMC as a template or core at their LCST, using KPS and TEMED as redox initiator in the presence of BIS as cross-linking agent. HPMC-PAA nanogels have 50~150 nm diameters characterized by transmission electron microscope and dynamic light scattering. The HPMC-PAA nanogels exhibit the temperature phase transition behaviors, and these nanogels' volume phase transition temperature is close to the LCST of HPMC/AA system.

To recover residual rubber from skim natural rubber (SNR) latex, the effective and environmentally friendly methodology developed based on using hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) as a thermo-responsive flocculant. The SNR particles could be completely separated to form high concentrated latex as cream phase within only 5 hours. Almost 100% of SNR was recovered when using HPMC 0.7%w/w. Quality of SNR obtained from this technique was higher and color of it was lighter than SNR obtained from the conventional method. HPMC could be easily precipitated from the serum phase by heating the serum phase at about 70 °C. The cloud point and the precipitation point of HPMC were affected by the additions of α-D-glucose, sn-phosphatidyl chloride and inorganic salts. It was found that reduction of the cloud point and the precipitation point of HPMC also depended on both concentration and type of cations and anions of inorganic salts.

In order to achieve the controlled release of curcumin, HPMC (hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose) was spray dried with curcumin and lactose. The spray-dried materials were pressed into tablets with a diameter of 8 mm, and their release characteristics in vitro were measured. In vitro experiments showed that the release of curcumin from the HPMC mixture was significantly slower due to the sustained-release property of HPMC as a typical excipient. The release profile of curcumin from the HPMC mixture was relatively stable for a controlled release. SEM images show that the HPMC co-spray-dried powders have crumpled surfaces due to the large molecular weight of HPMC. DSC, XRD, FTIR, N2 adsorption, and TGA have been measured for the spray-dried curcumin materials. This work indicates that HPMC can be used as a controlled-release excipient for curcumin preparations.

A novel 3D printing material based on hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)—improved sulphoaluminate cement (SAC) for rapid 3D construction printing application is reported. The hydration heat, setting time, fluidity of paste and mortar, shape retainability, and compressive strength of extruded SAC mortar were investigated. HPMC dosage, water-to-cement (W/C) ratio, and sand-to-cement (S/C) ratio were studied as the experimental parameters. Hydration heat results reveal HPMC could delay the hydration of SAC. The initial and final setting time measured using Vicat needle would be shortened in the case of W/C ratio of 0.3 and 0.35 with HPMC dosage from 0.5% to 1.5%, W/C ratio of 0.40 with HPMC dosage of 0.5%, 0.75%, and 1.5%, and W/C ratio of 0.45 with HPMC dosage of 0.45, or be extended in the case of W/C ratio of 0.4 with HPMC dosage of 1.0% and W/C ratio of 0.45 with HPMC dosage from 0.75% to 1.5%. Fluidity measurement shows HPMC significantly improves the shape retainability. Furthermore, the addition of HPMC remarkably increased the compressive strength of extruded mortar. The results showed that HPMC could be used to prepare 3D printing SAC having satisfactory shape retainability, setting time and compressive strength.

Floating matrix tablets were designed and evaluated. Theophylline was used as a model drug. The system was prepared by mixing drug, matrix-forming polymer (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, HPMC) and fillers together. The blended powder was compressed by hydraulic press. The effect of formulation variables such as type of matrix forming polymer (HPMC K100LV, HPMC K4M, HPMC K100M), amount of effervescent agent (0, 20, 30, 40% w/w) and compression force (0.5, 1 ton) on floating properties and drug release of floating matrix tablets were investigated. The results demonstrated that type of polymer affected floating properties of the floating matrix tablets. The floating matrix tablets prepared from lower viscosity HPMC (HPMC K100LV) showed faster drug release than those prepared from higher viscosity HPMC (HPMC K4M, HPMC K100M). Increasing amount of effervescent agent decreased time to float and increased drug release from the floating matrix tablets. Higher compression force did not affect time to float but decreased drug release from the floating matrix tablets. According to these results, floating properties and drug release of the floating matrix tablets could be modified by formulation variables. Some floating tablet formulations developed in this study showed good floating properties (time to float less than 15 minutes, floating time more than 8 hours) with sustained release as required. The system is promising as a carrier for gastroretentive drug delivery systems.

The aim of this study was to investigate the physicochemical characteristics of various viscosity grades of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) for mucoadhesive buccal films. The HPMC used in this study was K4M, K15M and K100M which their viscosity were 4000, 15000 and 100000 mPas respectively. Using HPMC as film forming base matrix, all intrinsic characteristics of each HPMC grade is required as basic knowledge for the development of mucoadhesive buccal films. To understand the primary essential parameters, surface free energy and contact angle of various HPMC grades were determined. Sessile drop technique was used in this study to determine contact angle of HPMC and surface free energy was then evaluated by using the Wu’s equation. The results showed that the increase in viscosity of HPMC film tended to decrease the polar force and total surface free energy but increased the contact angle. These parameters indicated that the hydrophilic character of HPMC was influenced by its viscosity. Our study suggested that the polar and dispersive force detected by sessile drop technique could be beneficial for the further design and development of mucoadhesive buccal films.

Introduction: Progress in the release of pharmacotherapeutic agents and improved quality of life for patients depends on the development of novel and suitable drug delivery systems because a number of conventional pharmaceutical forms can trigger multiple side effects as well as inconvenient administrations, which ultimately lead to poor treatment adhesions or inefficient treatments. Objectives: To develop new materials for application in modified drug release systems, whose potential uses are for coating solid oral dosage forms and insulin encapsulation for oral administration. Methodology: Coating films: Initially, hyaluronic acid was crosslinked with trisodium trimetaphosphate in aqueous alkaline media. Afterwards, the films were produced by evaporation method by incorporation of the unmodified and crosslinked biopolymer into the ethylcellulose dispersion in different proportions. The obtained films were characterized by morphology by scanning electron microscopy, robustness to water vapor permeability and hydration capacity in physiological simulation fluids. In addition, safety and biocompatibility were evaluated against Caco-2 and HT29-MTX intestinal cells. Lipid-polymeric nanoparticles: They were produced from the association of ethylpalmitate and HPMC-AS, through the modified solvent emulsification-evaporation technique by sonication. Subsequently, the nanoparticles were characterized by size, polydispersity index, zeta potential and encapsulation efficiency, besides morphology by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis. It was also evaluated the in vitro release profile, as well as insulin uptake in a triple co-culture model, and safety and biocompatibility against Caco-2 and HT29-MTX intestinal cells. Results: Coating films: The permeability to water vapor was influenced by the increase of hyaluronic acid content in the final formulation. When immersed in gastric simulation fluid, the films presented lower swelling compared to greater hydration in intestinal simulation fluid. Simultaneously, in intestinal simulation fluid, they presented mass loss, revealing the ability to prevent premature drug release at gastric pH, yet vulnerable to release into the intestinal environment. In addition to these results, the physico-chemical characterization suggested thermal stability of the films and physical interaction between the constituents of the formulation. Finally, cytotoxicity tests demonstrated viii that both membranes and individual materials were safe for intestinal cells when incubated for 4 h. Lipid-polymer nanoparticles: The suggested methodology yielded nanoparticles with satisfactory mean size, 297.57nm ± 29.99, PDI of 0.247 ± 0.03 and zeta potential of -19.13 ± 5.88. In addition, high encapsulation efficiency was achieved, around 83.92 ± 4.32% and DSC showed an improvement in the thermal stability of the formulation compared to individual materials. This is demonstrated by endothermic peaks of degradation that decreased in intensity and moved to higher temperatures. DRX results showed alteration of the crystalline state to amorphous, inferring the drug incorporation. The cumulative release demonstrated that only 9.0% of the encapsulated insulin was released after 2 h, reaching approximately 14% after 6h. These results altered the permeability of insulin through in vitro intestinal model. Regarding the biocompatibility with Caco-2 and HT29-MTX cells, lipid-polymeric nanoparticles did not show toxicity up to 4 hours. Conclusions: The results suggest that hyaluronic acid based films may prevent premature drug release under hostile conditions of the stomach but control the release in the more distal portions of the gastrointestinal tract when applied as coating material in solid oral dosage forms. Furthermore, they were safe to intestinal mucosa. Regarding the lipid-polymeric nanoparticles, evidences show that they can protect insulin from the hostile conditions found in the TGI, also guaranteeing the safety of the intestinal mucosa depending on its concentration. However, a better release profile and consequently better insulin uptake can be achieved by optimizing the proposed formulation.
Introdução: O progresso na liberação de ativos farmacoterapêuticos e uma melhor qualidade de vida aos pacientes depende do desenvolvimento de novos e adequados sistemas carreadores de fármacos, visto que diversas formas farmacêuticas convencionais podem desencadear múltiplos efeitos colaterais bem como administrações inconvenientes, que acabam por conduzir a fracas adesões de tratamento ou tratamentos ineficientes. Objetivos: Desenvolver novos materiais candidatos à aplicação em sistemas para liberação modificada de fármacos, cujos empregos potenciais estão voltados ao revestimento de formas farmacêuticas sólidas orais e encapsulação de insulina para administração oral. Metodologia: Filmes de revestimento: Inicialmente o ácido hialurônico foi reticulado com trimetafosfato trissódico em meio aquoso alcalino, posteriormente, os filmes foram produzidos através do método de evaporação, por incorporação do biopolímero reticulado e não modificado à dispersão de etilcelulose, em diferentes proporções. As películas obtidas foram caracterizadas em relação à morfologia por microscopia eletrônica de varredura, robustez à permeabilidade ao vapor d’água e capacidade de hidratação em fluidos de simulação fisiológicos. Além disso, a segurança e biocompatibilidade foram avaliadas contra células intestinais Caco-2 e HT29-MTX. Nanopartículas lipídico-poliméricas: Foram produzidas a partir da associação de etilpalmitato e HPMC-AS, por meio da técnica emulsificação-evaporação do solvente modificado, através de sonicação. Posteriormente, as nanopartículas foram caracterizadas em relação ao tamanho, índice de polidispersão, potencial zeta e eficiência de encapsulação, além de morfologia por microscopia eletrônica de varredura, difratometria de raios-X e análise térmica. Também avaliou-se o perfil de liberação in vitro, bem como a captação da insulina em modelo de co-cultura tripla e, segurança e biocompatibilidade contra células intestinais Caco-2 e HT29-MTX. Resultados: Filmes de revestimento: A permeabilidade ao vapor d’água foi influenciada pelo aumento do conteúdo de ácido hialurônico na formulação final. Quando imersos em fluido de simulação gástrico, os filmes apresentaram menor intumescimento comparado com uma maior hidratação em fluido de simulação intestinal. Simultaneamente, em fluido de simulação intestinal, apresentaram perda vi de massa, revelando a habilidade de prevenir a liberação prematura do fármaco em pH gástrico, todavia vulnerável a liberação em meio intestinal. Aliado a estes resultados, a caracterização físico-química sugeriu estabilidade térmica das películas e interação física entre os constituintes da formulação. Por fim, os testes de citotoxicidade demonstraram que tanto as membranas quanto os componentes individuais das formulações, quando incubadas durante 4 h, foram seguras para as células intestinais. Nanopartículas lipídico-poliméricas: A metodologia sugerida produziu nanopartículas com tamanho médio satisfatório, 297,57nm ± 29,99, PDI de 0,247 ± 0,03 e potencial zeta de -19,13 ± 5,88. Além disso, alcançou-se alta eficiência de encapsulação, em torno de 83,92 ± 4,32% e o DSC mostrou um aumento da estabilidade térmica das formulações em relação aos materiais puros, demonstrado pelos picos endotérmicos de desidratação, que diminuíram de intensidade e deslocaram-se para temperaturas superiores. Os resultados do DRX demonstraram alteração do estado cristalino para amorfo, inferindo a incorporação do fármaco. A liberação cumulativa evidenciou que apenas 9% da insulina encapsulada foi liberada após 2 h, alcançando aproximadamente 14% após 6 h, alterando, desta maneira, os resultados de permeabilidade da insulina através de modelo intestinal in vitro. Em relação à biocompatibilidade com células Caco-2 e HT29-MTX, as nanopartículas lipídico-poliméricas demonstraram ausência de citotoxicidade após 4 h. Conclusões: Os resultados sugerem que os filmes baseados em ácido hialurónico, quando aplicados como material de revestimento de formas farmacêuticas sólidas orais, poderão prevenir a liberação prematura de fármacos nas condições hostis do estômago, mas controlar a liberação nas porções mais distais do trato gastrointestinal, garantindo a segurança da mucosa intestinal. Já em relação às nanopartículas lipídico-poliméricas, evidências demonstraram que as mesmas poderão proteger a insulina das condições hostis encontradas no TGI, garantindo ainda a segurança da mucosa intestinal, todavia um melhor perfil de liberação, e consequentemente, uma melhor captação insulina podem ser alcançados por otimização da formulação proposta.
