Abstract

Diclofenac sodium (DS) is an effective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) limited by a short half-life and gastric irritation. Microencapsulation with natural polymers enables gastric protection and controlled drug release. This study aims to formulate and optimize DS microcapsules using a combination of sodium alginate and chitosan polymers, with the addition of Tween 80, to achieve a gastro-resistant profile with ideal controlled release. The microcapsules were prepared using the ionotropic gelation method with varying concentrations of sodium alginate and chitosan: F1 (1.0%:0.05%), F2 (2.0%:0.1%), and F3 (3.0%:0.15%). Characterization included particle size analysis using a polarizing microscope, morphology using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), entrapment efficiency (EE), and in vitro dissolution testing at various pH levels (1.2, 4.5, and 7.4). Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post-hoc test to determine significant differences. F1 exhibited the best characteristics with a particle size of 221.42 ± 39.16 μm and the highest entrapment efficiency of 91.78%. The primary endpoint for gastro-resistance was successfully achieved by F1, showing a release of 9.71% at pH 1.2 for 120 minutes, meeting the compendial criterion of 10%. In contrast, F2 (13.17%) and F3 (17.88%) exceeded this limit with statistically significant differences (p0.05). SEM image analysis confirmed that F1 had the smoothest and most compact surface with minimal porosity compared to the other formulations. This study demonstrates that optimizing the polymer concentration in F1 successfully created a compact polyelectrolyte complex matrix, effectively improved entrapment efficiency, and provided stable gastro-resistant protection for safer DS delivery.

Abstract

Pati merupakan salah satu disintegran sediaan tablet yang berfungsi menghancurkan tablet sehingga zat aktif dapat dilepaskan. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk memanfaatkan pati hasil pregelatinasi dari buah sukun (Artocarpus altilis (Parkinson ex F.A.Zorn) Fosberg) sebagai bahan penghancur pada tablet eritromisin stearat (ERS). Penelitian diawali dengan mengidentifikasi kemampuan pati pregelatinasi buah sukun (PPBS) dengan melakukan uji swelling power dari pregelatinasi pati pada suhu 0, 60, 70, 80 dan 90oC. Pati yang memiliki swelling power yang paling baik dipilih sebagai bahan penghancur pada tablet ERS. Dalam penelitian ini dibuat 4 formula, yaitu F1 (ERS tunggal), F2 (ERS-PPBS, 9:1), F3 (ERS-PPBS, 7:3) dan F4 (ERS-PPBS, 1:1). Tablet dikempa langsung dengan alat kompaktibilitas (hydrolic press), selanjutnya tablet dievaluasi kekerasan, kerapuhan, kompaktibilitas dan waktu hancur tablet serta dikarakterisasi dengan scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penambahan pati pregelatinasi buah sukun dapat menurunkan nilai kekuatan tarik (tensile strength) campuran massa kempa. Fotomikrograf SEM menunjukkan penambahan pati pregelatinasi buah sukun dapat mencegah terjadinya sintering pada tablet ERS. Tablet campuran ERS-PPBS dapat meningkatkan waktu hancur dari pada tablet ERS tunggal. Waktu hancur paling cepat terjadi pada F4 yaitu pada 0,45±0,06 menit. Hasil ini mengindikasikan bahwa pati pregelatinasi buah sukun dapat mencegah terjadinya fenomena sintering dan meningkatkan waktu hancur tablet eritromisin stearat.
