DRUG:It is a chemical agent intended for cure, prevention, mitigation, treatment or therapy for a disorder/disease in human being and animal

DOSAGE FORM:It is defined as the combination of active drug component along with non drug moieties

CONTROLLED RELEASE:One which delivers the drug at a pre-determined rate locally or systemicallyFor specified long period of time

SUSTAINED RELEASE:The system of prolonged release either Systemically or locally.

CONVENTIONAL RELEASE:Immediate/Prompt release dosage forms

The frequency of administration /dosing interval of any drug depends upon

HALF LIFE, MEAN RESIDENCE TIME(MRT), THERAPEUTIC INDEX

For conventional release the dosing interval much shorter than it’s halflife so following limitations were observed

Why control drug delivery?

Goal of more sophisticated drug delivery techniques

1.Deploy to a target site to limit side effects

2.Shepard drugs through specific areas of the body without degradation

3.Maintain a therapeutic drug level for prolonged periods of time

4.Predictable controllable release rates

5.Reduce dosing frequent and increase patient compliance

Toxicity level

Injection

Controlled release

Therapeutic Level

Time

As the cost and complexity of individual drug molecules has risen the problems with the classical delivery strategies over

took their benefits.

Hence there is a need to Develop a better, safer drugs with long half-life with larger Therapeutic Index

Effective, safer use of existing drugs through Concepts& Techniques of Controlled Release Drug Delivery System

To minimize the fluctuation in PDC

To attain feasibility for CR of drugs

Correlation in In-vivo In-vitro aspects& Models

To optimize the delivery of medication to achieve good therapeutic response

The total amount of drug administered is sed

Some times Drug Interactions also prolongs the release

Ex:probencid the excretion of PENICILLIN

Dissolution Definition:

Solid substances solubilizes in a given solvent.

Mass transfer from solid to liquid.

Rate determining step: Diffusion from solid to liquid.

Several theories to explain dissolution – Diffusion layer theory (imp) Surface renewal theory Limited solvation theory.

Bioerodible and Combination Diffusion and Dissolution System

Strictly speaking, therapeutic systems will never be dependent on dissolution only or diffusion only.

Bioerodibile devices, however, constitute a group of systems for which mathematical descriptions of release is complex.

The complexity of the system arises from the fact that, as the polymer dissolves, the diffusion path length for the drug may change. this usually results in a moving-boundary diffusion system.

Zero-order release can occur only if surface erosion occurs and surface area does not change with time.

The inherent advantage of such a system is that the bioerodible property of the matrix does not result in a ghost matrix.

Page 20: Ocdds by raghav modified

02/10/16 RAGHAVENDRA KUMAR GUNDA

20

Representation of a Bioerodible Matrix System

Drug is dispersed in the matrix before release at time = 0. At time = t, partial release by drug diffusion or matrix erosion has occurred

Page 21: Ocdds by raghav modified

02/10/16 RAGHAVENDRA KUMAR GUNDA

Characteristics of Bioerodible Matrix Systems

Advantages

• all the advantages of matrix dissolution system

• removal from implant sites is not necessary

Disadvantages

• difficult to control kinetics owing to multiple processes of release

• potential toxicity of degraded polymer

Page 22: Ocdds by raghav modified

Bioerodible and Biodegradable Controlled Release Polymers

These polymers are designed to degrade within the body

• Polylactides (PLA)

• Polyglycolides (PGA)

• Polylactide-co-glycolides (PLGA)

• Polyanhydrides

• Polyorthoesters

Page 23: Ocdds by raghav modified

02/10/16 RAGHAVENDRA KUMAR GUNDA

23

Degradation of Biodegradable Polymers

These materials degrade within the body as a result of natural biological processes, eliminating the need to remove a drug delivery system after release of the active agent has been completed

Bulk hydrolysis - the polymer degrades in a fairly uniform manner throughout the matrix

Surface Eroding - degradation occurs only at the surface of the polymer, resulting in a release rate that is proportional to the surface area of the drug delivery system

Page 24: Ocdds by raghav modified

02/10/16 RAGHAVENDRA KUMAR GUNDA

Osmosis - Movement of solvent from lower to higher concentration.

- The passage of solvent into a solution through semipermeable membrane.

Semipermeable Membrane Molecules are permitted only to one component (Water).

Osmotic pressureIt is the hydrostatic pressure produced by a solution in a space divided by a semipermeable membrane due to difference in concentration of solutes.

Ion exchange resins It is based on the formation of drug resin complex formed when a ionic

solution is kept in contact with ionic resins. The drug from these complex gets exchanged in gastrointestinal tract and released with excess of Na+ and Cl- present in gastrointestinal tract.

Resin + - Drug - + Cl- goes to resin + Cl- + Drug-

Where x- is cl- conversely Resin - - drug+ + Na +goes resin – Na+ + Drug These systems generally utilize resin compounds of water insoluble cross –

linked polymer. They contain salt – forming functional group in repeating positions on the polymer chain. The rate of drug diffusion out of the resin is sustained by the area of diffusion, diffusional path length and rigidity of the resin which is function of the amount of cross linking agent used to prepare resins

PH -independent formulations

Drugs administered oraly encountered pH ranging from 7 in mouth,1 to 4 in stomach, and 5 to 7 in small intestine.since most of the drugs are eighter weak acids or weak bases,their release from sustained formulations is PH dependent.

However buffer can be added to the formulation to help maintain a constant PH there by rendering pH-independent release.

To this end,salts of amino acids,citric acid,phthalic acid,phosphoric acid or tartrate acid are commonly used because of their physiological acceptibility.

e.g. propoxyphene in a buffered sustained release formulation, which significantly increase reproducibility

Page 50: Ocdds by raghav modified

02/10/16 RAGHAVENDRA KUMAR GUNDA

50

Altered density formulations

1.High desity approch: the density of the pellets must exceed that of normal stomach content(1.04g/cm3) and should be atleast 1.4

In preparing such formulations,drug can be coated on a heavy core or mixed with heavy inert materials such as barium sulfate,titanium dioxide ,iron oxide.

2.low density approch : Globular shells which have an apparen density lower than that of gastric fluid can be used as a carrier of drug for sustained release purpose.polysterol,poprice,and even popcorn are all good condidates as carriers.

The surface of these empty shells is undercoated with sugar or with a polymeric material such as methacrylic polymer and cellulose acetate pthalate.the undercoated shell is then coated by a mixture of drug with polymers such as ethylcellulose and hydroxypropylcellulose.Final product floats on GIT fluid.

Conclusion

By and large, these are based on the principles diffusion, dissolution, or ion exchange and, only recently, on the principle of osmosis. Regardless of the mechanism of sustained release, however, more and more of these systems are becoming polymer based.

There are also those which are based on the bioadhesion principle whose goal is to promote the retention of a delivery system, hence drug release, at a specific region in the GI tract

Though CDDS appears appear to be feasible, The Timing for practical development is difficult to predict; safety, cost, efficacy are those factors need to be evaluated.
