Abstract EN
Purpose.
Effective Helicobacter pylori eradication requires delivery of the antibiotic locally in the stomach.
High dose of amoxicillin (750 to 1000 mg) is difficult to incorporate in floating tablets but can easily be given in liquid dosage form.
Keeping the above facts in mind, we made an attempt to develop a new floating in situ gelling system of amoxicillin with increased residence time using sodium alginate as gelling polymer to eradicate H.
pylori.
Methods.
Floating in situ gelling formulations were prepared using sodium alginate, calcium chloride, sodium citrate, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose K100, and sodium bicarbonate.
The prepared formulations were evaluated for solution viscosity, floating lag time, total floating time, and in vitro drug release.
The formulation was optimized using a 32 full factorial design.
Dissolution data were fitted to various models to ascertain kinetic of drug release.
Regression analysis and analysis of variance were performed for dependent variables.
Results.
All formulations (F1–F9) showed floating within 30 s and had total floating time of more than 24 h.
All the formulations showed good pourability.
It was observed that concentration of sodium alginate and HPMC K100 had significant influence on floating lag time, cumulative percentage drug release in 6 h and 10 h.
The batch F8 was considered optimum since it showed more similarity in drug release (f2=74.38) to the theoretical release profile.
Conclusion.
Floating in situ gelling system of amoxicillin can be formulated using sodium alginate as a gelling polymer to sustain the drug release for 10 to 12 h with zero-order release kinetics.
