ABSTRACT
The objective of this study was to determine specific combination of pharmaceutical excipients that lead to formulation of efficient nebivolol hydrochloride SMEDDS and its subsequent formulation into IR-SET (Immediate release- Self emulsifying tablet) which will enhance its solubility and dissolution. Solubility and Pseudo-ternary phase studies were carried out to identify the excipients showing highest solubility and to identify the zone of microemulsion with selected ingredients. Liquid-SMEDDS (L-SMEDDS) were optimized for Concentration of oil(X1) and Smix(X2) and formulated using a combination of Kollisolv GTA as oil, Tween 80 as surfactant and propylene glycol as co-surfactant which gave smaller droplet size(Y1) 55.98nm , Emulsification time (Y2) 16±1.5 s,% transmittance (Y3) 99.94±0.47%. Neusilin US2 was used as solid carrier for solidification of L-SMEDDS in to Solid-SMEDDS (S-SMEDDS) by adsorption technique. IR-SET of nebivolol were formulated with S-SMEDDS and optimized for the concentration of binder (X1) (PVP K30) and superdisintegrant (X2) (KOLLIDON CL) which showed low Disintegration time (Y1) (92±0.5s) and low Friability(Y2)(0.424±0.03%). Also the DSC and XRD data revealed the molecular state of the drug in S-SMEDDS. The extent of in-vivo drug release and ex-vivo diffusion values from L-SMEDDS and IR-SET was much higher than pure drug and marketed tablet. In conclusion, the results showed potential of SMEDDS to improve solubility and thus the bioavailability.
ABSTRACT
A simple, rapid, precise, accurate and sensitive spectrophotometric method has been developed for the simultaneous estimation and validation of Nebivolol Hydrochloride (NEB) and Valsartan (VAL) in pure and combined tablet dosage forms. Pure drug samples of NEB and VAL were dissolved in 67 mM Phosphate buffer pH 6.8 with 0.5 % sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and found to have absorbance maxima at 280 nm for NEB and 250 nm for VAL, respectively. The linearity lies between 10-70 μg/ml for NEB and 10-60 μg/ml for VAL in this method. The correlation coefficient (r2) was found to be 0.9965 for NEB and 0.9960 for VAL. The % recoveries obtained were 95.65 % – 109.85 % for NEB and 97.42 % – 101.43 % for VAL. The % RSD found 0.271 %-1.490 % for intraday and 0.334 %-1.917 % for interday for NEB and 0.188 %-0.944 % for intraday and 0.392 %-1.197 % for interday for VAL. The limit of detection and limit of quantitation for NEB were found to be 4.608 μg/ml and 13.965 μg/ml respectively and the limit of detection and limit of quantitation for VAL were found to be 4.348 μg/ml and 13.178 μg/ml respectively. Simultaneous calibration of both drugs in 67 mM Phosphate buffer pH 6.8 with 0.5 % SDS shows that λmax of one drug does not interfere on the λmax of other drug. Recovery study was performed to confirm the accuracy of the method. The results of analysis have been validated statistically by recovery studies as per International Conference on Harmonization guidelines. The method showed good reproducibility and recovery with % RSD <2. Hence, this proposed method was found to be rapid, specific, precise, accurate and can be successfully applied for the routine analysis of NEB and VAL in pure and combined tablet dosage form.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To determine the equilibrium solubility and the apparent oil/water partition coefficient of nebivolol hydrochloride to provide experimental basis for the development of new preparations.Methods:The concentration of nebivolol hydrochloride was determined by an HPLC method,and a saturated solution method and a shake-flask method were respectively applied to determine the equilibrium solubility and the apparent oil/water partition coefficient of nebivolol hydrochloride in water,0.1 mol·L-1 HCl solution and phosphate buffer solution with different pH values(pH2.0,pH6.8,pH7.4 and pH8.0).Results:At (37±0.5)℃,the equilibrium solubility of nebivolol hydrochloride in water and in 0.1 mol·L-1 HCl solution was 722.53 μg·ml-1and 56.07μg·ml-1,respectively.The apparent oil/water partition coefficient (Log P) of nebivolol hydrochloride was 1.17 and 1.32,respectively.Within the pH range of 2.0-7.4,with the increase of pH value, the equilibrium solubility and the Log P decreased and increased,respectively,while pH value increased from 7.4 to 8.0,the equilibrium solubility of nebivolol hydrochloride increased and Log P decreased.Conclusion:The method is accurate and reliable.Nebivolol hydrochloride has poor water solubility,and the equilibrium solubility and the Log P are both influenced by pH values.
ABSTRACT
Two simple and sensitive spectrophotometric methods have been developed for the estimation of Nebivolol hydrochloride in pure and pharmaceutical dosage forms. Method 1 is based on Ion-association complex formation of the drug with (SBT λmax 515 nm). Method 2 is based on Ion-association complex formation of the drug reacts with (BTB λmax 410nm). These methods have been statistically evaluated and found to be precise and accurate.
