ABSTRACT
An antihypertensive drug, Benidipine (BND) is considered under Biopharmaceutical Classification
System Class-?? drug, it has a high permeability but little solubility, and has lower bioavailability.
The present study describes the preparation of lyophilized nanoparticles from nanosuspension and
matrix tablet from lyophilized BND nanoparticles using Lyophilization strategy to significantly raise
the dissolution and oral bioavailability of the drug including poor solubility and high permeability.
Matrix tablet of BND was formulated from lyophilized BND nanoparticles, by using polymers HPMC
K4, Chitosan, MCC, magnesium Stearate, lactose and talc in order to prepare the suitable formulation.
Matrix tablets of lyophilized BND nanoparticles was formulated to assess extended drug release
extended drug release. Matrix tablets of lyophilized BND nanoparticles was formulated in order to
study the effect of amount of HPMC K4 and Chitosan respectively) on % drug release in 10 hr (Q10)
and time require for 80% drug release (T80)) to evaluate extended drug release. A direct compression
approach was used to develop the Matrix tablet from lyophilized BND nanoparticles. To achieve
optimal % drug release, various formulations of BND were assessed for in-vitro under stimulated
gastric and intestinal conditions. Optimized batch F5 has achieved 99 % drug release in 25 hours. It
was determined that physiochemical characteristics of all developed formulations were evaluated andthe results were found feasible. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) study of optimized F5
batch has been performed to investigate any interaction of BND with polymer. In in-vivo study,
Tmax was found 30 mins and Cmax was 1530 ng/ml and 3240 ng/ml respectively, approximately
three?fold higher than marketed tablet.
