ABSTRACT
In ithe ipresent iwork isuccessful iattempt iwas imade ito iformulate iprolonged irelease iSalbutamol ibuccal ipatch iby solvent icasting imethod iusing ihydrophilic ipolymers iHPMC iK4M, iCarbopol i974P iand iPolyethylene iglycol i400 as iplasticizer. iThe idrug ipolymer icompatibility iwas iverified iby iFT-IR istudies. iThe istandard icurve iof Salbutamol iin ipH i6.8 iphosphate ibuffer iwas iprepared.Totally i9 itrial ibuccal ipatches iwere iprepared iand evaluated ifor iweight ivariation, ithickness, idrug icontent, ifolding iendurance, iswelling iproperty, isurface ipH, percent imoisture iloss, iex ivivo imucoadhesion itime, iin ivitro idissolution itest iand iex ivivo ipermeation istudy.It was iobserved ithat iincreasing ithe iHPMC iK4M iconcentration ihas ia isignificant iincrease iin imucoadhesion itime and idecrease iin idrug irelease. The ioptimized iformulation ishows isatisfactory iresults iin ithe iparameters isuch ias thickness, ihardness, idrug icontent, iswelling iindex, imucoadhesion itime, iin ivitro idissolution iand idiffusion studies. iIt ishows izero iorder idrug irelease iprofile idepending ion ithe iregression ivalue.
Keywords: Solvent icasting imethod, Trasdemral delivery system, In vitro studies, Optmised formulation.
