Solid dispersions of lovastatin were formulated using pregelatinised starch (PGS) as super disintegrant and were further compressed into tablets by using various diluents such as lactose, dicalcium phosphate (DCP) and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) to enhance the bioavailability. The solid dispersions were prepared by physical mixing, solvent evaporation and kneading methods. The solid dispersions were found to release the drug faster than the pure drug in dissolution media. The rapid release of poorly soluble lovastatin from solid dispersions was influenced by the proportion of polymer and the method employed for its preparation. Among the three methods employed solvent evaporation and kneading methods were found to be suitable for improving the dissolution rate of lovastatin. The release data was fitted to various kinetic models. The release was found to follow first order kinetics. Some of the dispersions prepared by the solvent evaporation method and kneading method were formulated into tablets with various diluents. The tablet preparations containing different diluents were found to release the drug in the order of DCP>MCC>Lactose. The dissolution rate of tablet formulations prepared with lovastatin solid dispersions (FK1, FS4) were found to release the drug at a faster rate than that of tablets prepared with plain drug.Keywords

Venlafaxine hydrochloride was formulated as oral controlled release matrix tablets using hydrophilic polymer such as hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC K15 M) along with electrolytes. In this work a new attempt was made for in situ interactions between drug and electrolytes were devised to control the release of highly water soluble drugs from oral hydrophilic monolithic systems. Electrolytes such as Calcium carbonate, magnesium trisilicate, sodium bicarbonate were used at different concentrations in various formulations, while drug and polymer concentrations were maintained constantly at 1:1 ratios in all the formulations. These electrolytes were used to monitor matrix swelling and gel properties. These findings indicated that the swelling and gel formation in the presence of ionizable species within the hydrophilic matrices provide an attractive alternative for controlled drug delivery from a simple monolithic system. FTIR studies were carried out for some selected formulations, which indicated that there were no interactions between drug and excipients used.Keywords

A simple, accurate and precise reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (RPHPLC) method has been developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of aspirin and simvastatin in combined dosage form. Separation was performed on a C18 column [ODS column, 250mm × 4.5mm with particle size 5μm. with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile: methanol: phosphate buffer (55:30:15) at a flow rate of 1ml/min and UV detection was carried out at 225nm. The developed method was validated for the parameters like system suitability, specificity, linearity, accuracy and robustness according to the ICH guidelines Q2B. Retention times of aspirin and simvastatin were found to be 3.4 and 7.44 respectively. Linearity was found in the range from 10-50μg/mL for aspirin and 2-10μg/mL for simvastatin with correlation coefficients 0.9998 and 0.9999 respectively. The % recovery for 100% spiked level was 99.44 and 101.20 for aspirin and simvastatin respectively. The developed method was accurate, robust, selective, linear and repeatable which could be used for routine analysis of aspirin and simvastatin in their combined dosage forms.Keywords

Background: Co administration of two or more medications to a patient is called polypharmacy. Hence, much attention is required to study the possible drug interaction in the prescription, to reduce the influence of one drug action on the another. Accordingly, the effect of candesartan cilexetil was studied on the blood glucose levels of glimepiride treated normal and diabetic rats. Method: Effect of blood glucose levels were studied by using Candesartan cilexetil and Glimepiride in normal and diabetic albino male rats at a dose of 1.44 mg/kg and 0.09 mg/kg, respectively. The blood samples were collected during the study at the time intervals of 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 24 hours. The samples were subjected to estimation of blood glucose levels using glucometer. Results: The present study was conducted in both normal and diabetic rats. Glimepiride showed its hypoglycemic effect at the 4th hour, whereas candesartan cilexetil doesn’t show any changes in blood glucose levels in both normal and diabetic rats. In normal rats, candesartan cilexetil doesn’t affect on the blood glucose levels of glimepiride in both single and multiple dose studies. In diabetic rats, the candesartan cilexetil showed significant action on blood glucose levels of glimepiride in multiple dose interaction study but the insignificant effect of candesartan cilexetil in single dose interaction on glimepiride. Hence, the interaction was carefully monitored in type-2 diabetes mellitus patients. Conclusion: The study suggested that candesartan cilexetil has a profound effect on blood glucose levels of glimepiride on long term use; the possible mechanism for the cause is either angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors improve insulin sensitivity or inhibition of CYP2C9. The study also recommended that caution must be taken while prescribing with the combination of candesartan cilexetil and glimepiride or its analogs.Keywords
