Abstract
Oil entrapped floating calcium alginate beads of fexofenadine Hydrochloride were successfully prepared using sodium alginate as polymer and two different oil phases of mineral oil and olive oil by emulsion gelation method. * The FT-IR spectra of final optimized formulation confirms no drugpolymer incompatibility. * The floating time of beads was found to be more than 12 hrs suggesting that the method used for prepration was effective. The floating time of optimized formulation was within 6 minutes and floating time significantly increased as the amount of oil was increased in each formulation. * The mean particle size of beads was in range from (1.204mm to 2.0072mm) depending upon the type of polymer used. The particle size increased significantly as the amount of polymer was increased in each preparation. * The %Entrapment efficiency of beads ranging from 41.14%-85.79% increased in concentration of polymer leads to increase in entrapment efficiency. * The best formulation of oil entrapped floating calcium alginate beads of fexofenadine hydrochloride for mineral oil was found to be F5 98.03% and for Olive oil oil was found to be F7 96.7 %, drug release in 12 hrs. * The release kinetics of the optimized fexofenadine hydrochloride loaded oil entrapped beads showed that it follows Higuchi release kinetics. The release of the drug from the dosage form is carried out by diffusion and follows Korsmeyer peppas kinetics and the n value is greater than 0.5 indicating non-Fickian release. * The floating beads have been employed to make a sustained release of the drug in the stomach to enhance bioavailability and to decrease dose dumping and hence overcome its side effects. * The developed formulation shows an alternative to the conventional dosage form for the treatment of Fexofenadine hydrochloride, a nonsedating antihistamine H1 blocker used for seasonal allergic rhinitis and chronic idiopathic urticaria has limited absorption in the upper small intestine with poor oral bioavailability. * Hence, finally it was concluded that the prepared oil entrapped floating sodium alginate beads of fexofenadine may prove to be potential candidate for safe and effective sustained drug delivery over an extended period of time which can reduce dosing frequency and improved oral bioavailability.
