FORMULATION OF LYOPHILIZED ORAL DISINTEGRATING TABLETS OF PROPANOLOL Authors: Kumar KK , MAHESH M AND KIRAN V
ABSTRACT
Orally Disintegration Tablet (ODTs) are solid dosage forms containing active pharmaceutical ingredient
(API) which disintegrate rapidly, usually less than 60 seconds without the need of water when placed on
the tongue. Metoprolol, which is practically water insoluble, shows low bioavailability. weighed 100mg
Propranolol was dissolved in 100ml of methanol solution to get a solution containing 100mcg/ml.
Dilution: Aliquots of (0.1-1.0ml) standard solution were pipette out into 10ml volumetric flasks. The
volume was made upto the mark with methanol solution to produce the concentration ranging from 1-10
mg/ml. The absorbance of each prepared solution was measured at 222nm in Shimadzu UV-1800
spectrophotometer against an appropriate blank (Methanol solution). Lyophilization is one of the
techniques that can solve this problem in ODTs formulation. The resulting tablets were evaluated using
parameters such as: hardness, friability, disintegration time in vitro, modified disintegration time,
disintegration time in the oral cavity, wetting time, water absorption ratio, drug content determination,
weight uniformity, and dissolution.
