Abstract

Background: CDD disorder affects children mainly during their first three months of life. The buccal route offers advantages over oral administration for ganaxolone by avoiding first-pass metabolism and providing direct systemic absorption. This study aimed to formulate and characterise mucoadhesive buccal films of ganaxolone to increase its bioavailability. Methods: Mucoadhesive buccal films were prepared using a solvent casting technique employing HPMC K4M and Moringa gum as polymers. The formulation was optimized using a 32-factorial design, where polymer concentrations were varied systematically to achieve optimal film properties. Nine batches (OF1-OF9) were formulated and evaluated for various physicochemical parameters, mucoadhesive strength, percentage drug content, goat buccal mucosa permeation study, and stability analysis. Results: Based on the findings, the OF8 batch containing optimal polymer ratio (250mg HPMC K4M and 60mg Moringa gum) emerged as the superior formulation with 94.45±0.34% drug content, 15.37±0.58 N/mm² tensile strength, and 7.8±0.57 N mucoadhesive strength. Permeation studies consequently confirmed 96.37% of the drug at 8 hours with a 13.63 µg /cm² /h permeation rate. There was no evidence of drug-excipient interaction in FTIR and DSC analysis. The formulation was set to be stable for 6 months at accelerated conditions (40±2°C, 75±5% RH) with an average tensile strength above 15 N/mm² and an average ex-vivo drug permeation of 93%. Conclusion: This optimized buccal film formulation demonstrates promising potential for clinical application in CDD treatment by offering enhanced bioavailability, controlled release, and patient-friendly administration, which is particularly beneficial for pediatric patients.

Abstract

Background: This study aimed to develop and optimize an orodispersible herbal tablet incorporating Achyranthes aspera Linn extract. Sodium Starch Glycolate and Crospovidone were employed as superdisintegrants to promote rapid tablet disintegration, while β-cyclodextrin was utilized to enhance the solubility of specific constituents within the extract. The optimized formulation exhibited a rapid disintegration time of 1.805 seconds and achieved a cumulative drug release of 98.04%, indicating improved dissolution and potential enhancement in oral bioavailability. Methodology: Orodispersible tablets were formulated using Design of Experiments (DOE) software, with crospovidone and sodium starch glycolate as independent variables, and time of disintegration and cumulative drug release as dependent variables. The formulation was evaluated for weight variation, uniformity, hardness, wetting time, and in vitro dispersion time. Result & Discussion: The optimized F6 batch of orodispersible herbal tablets demonstrated the following characteristics: hardness of 2.98 kg/cm², friability of 0.58%, weight variation of 3.319%, disintegration time of 13.805 seconds, wetting time of 34.4 seconds, content uniformity of 99.5%, water absorption of 36%, and cumulative drug release of 98.04%, all within the permissible limits as per official pharmacopoeialstandards. Conclusion: The study concludes that crospovidone and sodium starch glycolate effectively reduce disintegration time and improve cumulative drug release. These findings validate the reliability of the model, with minor deviations attributed to experimental variability.
