Study Notes
Introduction to the Study
- The study aims to develop controlled-release matrix tablets of naproxen using the hydrophilic polymer sodium carboxymethylcellulose.
- The impact of surfactants and other excipients on drug release and swelling rate, and the determination of the drug release mechanism are also investigated.
Formulation of Naproxen Matrices
- Naproxen matrices were formulated by the direct compression technique with different ratios of polymer sodium carboxymethylcellulose and other excipients.
Effect of Excipients on Drug Release
- The amount of polymer sodium carboxymethylcellulose and other additives significantly affected drug release by regulating its rate according to polymer ratios.
- Surfactants increased the drug release based on their solubility and wetting effects, independent of their charges.
Release Mechanism
- The release mechanism involved a combination of polymer diffusion and tablet erosion during dissolution.
Materials and Equipment Used
- The study used various materials and equipment, including sodium carboxymethylcellulose, surfactants, lactose, and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer.
Drug Release Models
- The drug release rate and mechanism were characterized by fitting the zero-order, first-order, Higuchi, and Korsmeyer-Peppas models.
- The Korsmeyer-Peppas model described the drug release data, where Mt/M∞ is a fraction of the drug released at time t, kp is the rate constant, and n is the release exponent.
Results
- The results showed that the concentration of naproxen affected the drug release, and the absorbance was reached at a certain concentration.
- The FTIR apparatus was used to assure the compatibility between the drug and the other excipients in the different formulations.
Significance of the Study
- The study contributes to the development of controlled-release matrix tablets of naproxen, which is an important analgesic drug.
- The oral route of drug administration is the most important method of using drugs for systemic effects.
