Abstract

Background: Nebivolol hydrochloride, a β1-receptor antagonist known for its antihypertensive properties, boasts a plasma half-life of 10 hours and an oral bioavailability of 12%. In this study, we aimed to enhance the therapeutic effectiveness of Nebivolol hydrochloride and circumvent its extensive hepatic first-pass metabolism by developing transdermal matrix patches. Methodology: Utilizing Central Composite Design (CCD), nine formulations were devised, comprising Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose K15M and Eudragit S100 as independent variables, with 10% w/w triethyl citrate as the plasticizer. Key dependent variables were evaluated, including folding endurance, moisture content, tensile strength, in vitro drug release, and flux. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) assessed the compatibility between the drug and polymer. Results and discussion: Among the formulations, FP8 demonstrated the highest drug release (85.88% over 24 hours), attributed to its elevated concentration of hydrophobic polymer. The optimized formulation was determined based on the results of dependent variables. Conclusion: These findings suggest that the developed matrix transdermal film holds promise as a potential candidate for sustained drug release over a 24-hour.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a common complication of type II diabetes. The present research work aimed to develop bilayer tablets that would manage type II diabetes patients with hypertension. The prepared bilayer tablet has an immediate-release layer of anti-hypertensive irbesartan and a sustained-release (SR) layer of anti-diabetic metformin hydrochloride. The purpose of these bilayer tablets was to increase patient compliance by converting two separate monotherapy to single combination therapy. Methodology: Several ratios of polymers, including HPMC K100M, EC, Eudragit, and Guar gum, were employed to prolong the drug release for twelve hours. An immediate-release layer of irbesartan was prepared by spherical agglomeration. The physical properties, drug content, solubility profiles, release kinetics, and stability of prepared bilayer tablets were assessed. Results and Discussion: The examination of SR granules and bilayer tablets revealed outstanding packing qualities and excellent flow properties, with bulk and tapped densities ranging from 0.39-0.46 g/cm³ and 0.42-0.55 g/cm³, respectively. In vitro dissolution tests revealed that the immediate-release layer gave an initial burst of Irbesartan. Still, the sustained-release layer of metformin showed controlled drug release over 12 hours at greater polymer concentrations. According to stability testing, the bilayer tablets' physical properties, drug content, and dissolving profiles did not change significantly. Conclusion: The bilayer tablet combination of Irbesartan and Metformin exhibited desired physical features, controlled drug release, and stability. This formulation represents a viable treatment option for diabetic hypertensive patients, offering effective and consistent management of both disorders while improving patient compliance.

Abstract

Background: This study optimizes and evaluates transferosomes containing Nebivolol Hydrochloride to enhance the drug's bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy. Ultra-deformable vesicles called transferosomes help to increase drug administration via the skin. Methodology: Using a thin-film hydration technique, beta-blocker Nebivolol Hydrochloride, which has antihypertensive properties, was added to transferosomes. To attain the ideal vesicle size (between 200 to 300 nm), entrapment efficiency, and deformability, the formulation was adjusted by adjusting the amounts of phosphatidylcholine, Span 80, and hydration time using a Box-Behnken experimental design. Particle size analysis, zeta potential measurement, and in vitro drug release tests were performed to characterize the transferosomes. Results and discussion: The optimized formulation demonstrated notable deformability, an entrapment effectiveness of 50%, and a vesicle size of 265 nm. The Box-Behnken design made it easier to evaluate the interactions between variables systematically. In vitro drug release studies showed a drug diffusion that persisted for a whole day, suggesting that transferosomes may have long-lasting therapeutic effects. Stability studies at room temperature and accelerated conditions over six months confirmed the formulation's robustness. Conclusion: The results imply that Nebivolol Hydrochloride transferosome-based delivery may be a viable strategy for improving the drug's bioavailability and effectiveness, as nearly 100% of drugs diffuse within 24 hr, perhaps leading to a breakthrough in the management of hypertension.
