Matrix type oral CDDS Matrix type oral CDDS Are possibly the most common of monolithic
devices for controlling the release of drugs for following reson-
1. Easy of fabricate compared to reservoir 2. No danger of accidental dose dumping
compared to monolithic reservoir.
In such device active agent present as dispersion within polymer matrix. & formed by compression of polymer/ drug matrix or by melting

Reservoir type oral CDDSReservoir type oral CDDSAre those where the drug crystal, particle,
granule, pellet ,minitablet or tablet is present as core encapsulated with a rate controlling wall, film/membrane having a well defined thickness.
Drug release occurs predominantly by diffusion.Advantage of such system – zero order delivery is possible Release rate modulated by polymer type,
polymer membrane thickness, & membrane porosity.
Disadvantage- higher cost of formulation.7

Oral osmotic (OROS) CDDSOral osmotic (OROS) CDDSBased on diffusion & erosion, osmotic
system are more complex in design but provide better zero-order drug delivery.
They work on principle of osmotic pressure to release the drug at a constant zero-order rate.

In design OROS system compries of 4 basic component
1.A rigid shape retaining semipermiable membrane(SPM) that surrounds drug/ osmogent core
2.A drug layer3. Osmogent –that embites water & generates
osmotic pressure that drives dispersed drug through delivery orifice.
Commonly used osmogent are sodium chloride, dextrose, mannitol. Swellable osmopolymer include PEO, HPMC.
4.Delivery orifice which is generally laser-drilled into semipermeable membrane.

INTRODUCTION•Oral drug delivery is widely used in
pharmaceutical field to treat the diseases.•Some drugs are absorbed at specific site
only ,these require release at that specific site.
•Gastro retentive drug delivery(GRDDS) is one of the site specific drug delivery for the delivery of the drugs at stomach.
• It is obtained by retaining dosage form into stomach and drug is being released at controlled manner at specific site
![Page 14: oral controlled drug delivery system](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081415/5870702f1a28ab48378b766f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

APPROPRIATE CANDIDATE DRUGS FOR GRDDS
•Drugs acting locally in the stomach. E.g. Antacids and drugs for H. Pylori viz.,
Misoprostol.•Drugs that are primarily absorbed in the
stomach. E.g. Amoxicillin•Drugs that is poorly soluble at alkaline pH. E.g. Furosamide, Diazepam, Verapamil,
etc.•Drugs with a narrow absorption window. E.g. Cyclosporine, , Levodopa,
Methotrexate

17
LIMITATIONS• The drug substances that are unstable in the
acidic environment of the stomach are not suitable candidates to be incorporated in the systems.
• These systems require a high level of fluid in the stomach for drug delivery to float and work efficiently.
• Not suitable for drugs that have solubility or stability problem in GIT.
• Drugs which are irritant to gastric mucosa are also not suitable.
• These systems do not offer significant advantages over the conventional dosage forms for drugs, which are absorbed throughout GIT.

2.Time controlled release drug delivery 2.Time controlled release drug delivery system for colonsystem for colonTime controlled release system (TCRS) such
as sustained release dosage form are also very promising drug delivery system.
However due to potentially large variation of gastric emptying time of dosage form in humans, in these approaches, colon arrival time of dosage forms can not be accurately predicted, resulting in poor colonical availability.
The dosage form may also be applicable as colon dosage forms by prolonging the lag time of about 5-6 hr. 59

Disadvantage of these system are-
1. Gastric emptying time varies markedly between subjects / in manner dependent on type & amount of food intake .
2. Gastrointestinal movement , specially peristalsis or contraction in stomach result in gastrointestinal transit of drug.
3. Accelerated transit through different regions of colon has been observed in patients with IBD , carcinoid syndrome & ulcerative colites

3. Microbially triggered drug 3. Microbially triggered drug delivery to colondelivery to colon
The microflora of colon consist mainly of anaerobic bacteria e.g. bacteroides , bifidobacteria, enterococci, entrobacteria..etc This vast microflora fulfil it’s energy needs by fermenting various types of substrates that have been left undigested in small intestine, e.g. di & tri saccharides , polysaccharides ..etc.for this fermention, microflra produces a vast number of enzyme like glucoronidase, galactosidase, arabinosidase, nitroreductase etc.
Because of presence of biodegradable enzymes only in colon , use of biodegradable polymer for CDDS seems to be more specific approach. 63

a. Prodrug approach for drug a. Prodrug approach for drug delivery to colondelivery to colon
Prodrug is a pharmacologically inactive derivative of parent drug molecule that requires spontaneous /enzymatic transformation in vivo to release active drug.
For colonic delivery , prodrug is designed to undergo minimal hydrolysis in upper tracts of GIT & undergo enzymatic hydrolysis in colon there by releasing the active drug moiety from drug moiety.
Metabolism of azo compound by intestinal bacteria is one of most extensively studied bacterial metabolic process.
