Abstract

Microcrystalline cellulose was isolated from rami (Boehmeria Nivea L. Gaud), and applied as disintegrant in tablets of dimenhydrinate, made by direct compression and wet granulation. The aim of this study is to produce dimenhydrinate tablets with Microcrystalline Cellulose Rami (MCC Rami) isolated from Rami (Boehmeria Nivea L. Gaud), as a disintegrant and assess the effect of MCC Rami and Granulation technique on physical properties of drug such as, disintegration time, drug release and dissolution. Formulations of dimenhydrinate 100mg tablets were prepared with a combination of mannitol and lactose as a filler and MCC Rami as disintegrant in a concentration of 10-20%. The formulas were directly compressed or were compressed into tablets after wet granulation. The mechanical properties, drug release, physical properties and effects of process parameters, methods of applying disintegrant in tablet formulas were examined. A significant difference in disintegration time of tablets that were produced by direct compression and wet granulation was seen, that can be attributed to the porous structure of granules that enhanced fast disintegration, which had eventually improved dissolution and drug release. F1 and F2 with MCC Rami and physical mixture of MCC Rami with crosspovidone as a disintegrant that were directly compressed disintegrated in 79 and 72 seconds respectively thats not a significant difference, however when MCC was applied in an intragranular way its disintegration time is 67 seconds. The results showed that the method of disintegrant application and press of tableting has a significant effect on drug release and dissolution.Keywords : Microcrystalline Cellulose, wet granulation, disintegrant, Boehmeria Nivea L.

Abstract

Microencapsulation is an extensively used technology of present era, that has been applied to various fields like pharmaceutical industry, agriculture, cosmetics and food technology. With the help of which liquid or solid material can be encapsulated inside a polymeric coating film for various reasons such as taste masking, control release and enhancing stability and etc. Microencapsulation can be achieved with different approaches and methods but one of the popular and frequently used feasible method is Solvent evaporation. Solvent evaporation is based on emulsification, solvent evaporation and extraction of microspheres, recently many variations have been made in this technology to improve the yield and properties of microspheres. Solvent evaporation has been widely used in microencapsulating for different purposes one of which is taste masking of bitter drugs in fast disintegrating oral tablets, for pediatric and geriatric use. FDTs are center of attraction due to their merits and feasibility of use for people with problem of dysphagia at the same time, it can also improve bioavailability and time of action of drugs. The main focus of current review is use of solvent evaporation technique for taste masking of bitter drugs in production of fast disintegrating oral tablets. In this review, we will summarize uses, novelties and variations in Solvent Evaporation technique, preparation technique, materials used, merits and demerits of this method over other microencapsulation method in taste masking.Keywords: Microencapsulation, Solvent Evaporation, FDTs, extraction, microspheres
