Silicated Chitosan Essay

917 Words4 Pages

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficiency of silicated chitosan in promoting tablet disintegration and drug dissolution in comparison with commonly used superdisintegrant crospovidone. Silicated chitosan was prepared by co-precipitation method and metoclopramide hydrochloride was used as a model drug for the preparation of fast dissolving tablets. Formulations containing silicated chitosan exhibited almost similar in-vitro dispersion time and in-vitro drug dissolution pattern in comparison with formulation containing crospovidone. The intimate physical association between chitosan and silica creates an insoluble, hydrophilic, highly absorbent material, consequently, resulting in superiority in water uptake, water saturation for gel formation and compatibility. IR spectroscopic studies of silicated chitosan, silica, chitosan and chitosan-silica physical mixture indicated that preparation method did not involve any chemical reaction and only physical modification occurred on chitosan particles. Short-term stability studies on this formulation indicated that there were no significant changes in drug content and in vitro dispersion time (p<0.05). …show more content…

It can be concluded from the present work that silicated chitosan acts as a superdisintegrant at all the concentrations and exhibits similar performance in comparison with crospovidone used in MTH fast dissolving tablets. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The authors are thankful to M/s Comed Chemicals Ltd, Baroda (India) for providing gift sample of metoclopramide hydrochloride. They also wish to express their gratefulness to the Principal, HKES’s M T R Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Gulbarga for providing the necessary facilities for the

    Limaye PMCY 6510 Take Home Final Exam Metformin hydrochloride (N,N-dimethylimidodicarbonimidic diamide hydrochloride) is a white to off-white crystalline compound with a molecular formula of C4H11N5•HCl and a molecular weight of 165.63. Metformin hydrochloride is freely soluble in water and is practically insoluble in acetone, ether, and chloroform. Metformin belongs to BCS class III with high solubility and low permeability. This also allows for designing a controlled release formulation of metformin hydrochloride. However, due to the high dose amounts and dosing frequency, it has been a challenge to develop once daily metformin formulation.

    The difference in this chemical and physical properties will aid in their separation. Processes like solubility, gravitational filtration and recrystallization will be used to separate the substances present in Panacetin. The melting and boiling point of the substances will help in concluding on which of these compounds will be presented at the end of experiment. Procedure and observation The Panacetin content was weighed approximately 3.0493g and transferred to the Erlenmeyer flask; 75ml of dichloromethane (CH¬2CL2) was added to the content. The dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) dissolved the sucrose, leaving the active unknown agent and aspirin behind.

From the moment, we first learn to brush our teeth, we are taught that we should always keep them clean and white. Sanitol tooth powder made this possible during the early 19th century. Having pearly white teeth is seen as an attractive quality to have. Therefore, Sanitol made various ads to display the beauty of having white teeth in their ads.

    The purpose of this experiment was to learn about the electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions that take place on benzene, and how the presence of substituents in the ring affect the orientation of the incoming electrophile. Using acetanilide, as the starting material, glacial acetic acid, sulfuric acid, and nitric acid were mixed and stirred to produce p-nitroacetanilide. In a 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask, 3.305 g of acetanilide were allowed to mix with 5.0 mL of glacial acetic acid. This mixture was warmed in a hot plate with constantly stirring at a lukewarm temperature so as to avoid excess heating. If this happens, the mixture boils and it would be necessary to start the experiment all over again.

    1.1Liquisolid Systems Technology Many recently developed drugs are poorly water soluble compounds, which cause difficulties in the development of solid dosage forms with good bioavailability(1). The therapeutic effect of the drug is reliant on the bioavailability which in turn relies on the solubility and dissolution rate of the drug, therefore; solubility is the most important factor to get the required concentration of drug in the systemic circulation for therapeutic response to be attained(2). For different poorly soluble medications, bioavailability is limit via the dissolution rate.
