DESIGN ASSESSMENT OF MATRIX TABLETS WITH INCLUSION COMPLEX & ROLE OFEGG SHELL POWDER AS A RATE CONTROLLER Authors: Nadendla RR , KANNA S* AND NIRANJAN V
ABSTRACT
Aceclofenac’s poor solubility in water was improved by the use of an inclusion complex with
hydroxy-Cyclodextrin. Eggshell powder (ESP) was explored for the new application as
pharmaceutical excipients and a rich natural source of calcium. The inclusion complexes were
created using drugs to cyclodextrin (CD) ratios, 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3. Comparing the outcomes of
all 3 formulations, the 1:2 drug-cyclodextrin combination produced superior outcomes. Matrix
tablets were prepared by using Drug-Cyclodextrin inclusion complex and egg shell powder
(F1-F4) by the direct compression method. The USP Dissolving Apparatus II was used to
examine the In-vitro activity of all formulations in pH 6.8 buffer. Multiple physical evaluation
tests were used to evaluate the formulation of the matrix tablets. The hydrophobicity of the
modified ESP depends on type of solvent employed in the surface alteration process, which
may explain about drug's extended release. After chloroform treatment, the sustained release
profile of eggshell powder was higher.
