4. IDEAL DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM
• should deliver drug at a rate dictated by the needs of the
body over the period of the treatment.
• should channel the active entity solely to the site of action.
• This is achieved by development of new various modified
drug release dosage forms, like-
Control release dosage forms
Time release dosage forms
Sustained release dosage forms
Site specific or targeted drug delivery systems etc.

5. “Drug Delivery systems that are designed to achieve
prolonged therapeutic effect by continuously
releasing medication over an extended period of time
after administration of single dose.”
Basic goal of the therapy
to achieve steady state blood level that is
therapeutically effective
& non toxic for an
extended period of time.

7. Objectives of drug delivery
• Temporal drug delivery:
controlling the rate or specific time
of drug delivery to the target tissue.
• Spatial drug delivery:
targeting a drug to a specific organ
or tissue.

12. • Divided into two considerations
1.Release rate consideration
Release rate consideration :-
In conventional dosage form Kr>Ka - release of
drug from dosage form is not rate limiting step.
October 23, 2013
12
13. (Kr>>Ka) in immediate release
non immediate (Kr<<<Ka) i.e. release is rate
limiting step.
The release should follow zero order kinetics
(clinically equivalent to constant release in many
cases)
Kr = rate in = rate out = Ke.Vd.Cp
Ke = Elimination rate constant (first order
kinetics).
Vd = Total volume of distribution.
Cp = Plasma drug concentration.
Kr = zero order release rate constant
October 23, 2013
13
14. b)Dose consideration:
for zero order release
core
Maintenance dose
Immediate release
component
a) Initial (primary) dose Di
b)Maintenance dose
Dm = kr .Td
Td=total time required for extended release dosage form
therefore, total dose W
October 23, 2013
W= Di + Dm
W=Di +Kr.Td
14
15. If maintenance dose begins to release the drug
during dosing t=0 then,
W = Di + K r. Td – Kr.Tp
Tp = time of peak drug level.
October 23, 2013
15
16. First order release
rate in=rate out
Dm.kr=ke.Cp.Vd
Dm=ke.Cp.Vd/kr
W=Di+Dm
W=Di+(keCp/kr)Vd
kr= first order release rate constant
ke=elimination rate constant
Cp=plasma drug concentration
If drug begins to release maintenance dose at T=0
W=Di+(keCp/kr)Vd - DmkeTp
Tp= time of peak plasma drug concentration

17. Diffusion systems
• Porous matrix controlled system
Rate controlling element-water swellable material e.g.
xanthan gums ,guar gum , high viscosity grades of
HPMC,HPC, alginates or non- swellable water insoluble
polymers such as ethylcellulose
October 23, 2013
17
18. • Porous membrane controlled system
rate controlling element – non-swellable
water insoluble polymer e.g. ethylcellulose,
PMA. Drug release controlled through
micropores.
October 23, 2013

19. • Can be in following ways:Slow dissolution of drug
1. Drug with inherently slow dissolution rate.
2. Drugs that transforms into a slow dissolving form.
Slow dissolution rate of reservoir memb. &
matrix
1. Embedment in slowly dissolving, degrading erodible matrix.
2. Encapsulation or coating with slowly dissolving degrading erodible
subs.

20. • slowly soluble and erodible materials:Ethylcellulose,
PVP with cellulose

Waxes(glyceryl monostearate)

21. Erosion controlled
Polymer or wax degradation brought about by:
enzyme,
pH change
osmotic pressure
• Bulk erosion(A)
homogeneous erosion
• Surface erosion(B)
heterogenous erosion
when water penetration is restricted to surface

22. ORAL SUSTAINED RELEASE
DESIGN
• Continuous release systems-release drug
continuosly over extended period of time.
• Pulsatile release systems:characterize by a lag time then rapid &
complete /extended release.
Advantages:1. Drugs with extended first pass e.g. Propranolol
2. Targeting e.g. in intestinal inflammations
3. Protection of gastric or upper intestinal mucosa from
irritating drugs.
October 23, 2013

23. Following methods can be used to prepare
sustained release oral preparation:• Increasing the particle size of the drug
• Embedding the drug in a polymeric matrix.
• Coating the drug or dosage form containing
drug(microencapsulation).
• Forming complexes of the drug with material such
as ion exchange resins.
October 23, 2013
23
24. 1)Increasing the particle size of the drug
• Increasing particle size decreases the surface
to volume ratio slow the rate of drug availability.
•This method is limited to poorly soluble drug .
October 23, 2013
24
25. 2) Embedding the drug in matrix
• Matrix is a uniform dispersion of drug with polymer
matrix
• Continuous external phase of the dispersion effectively
impede the passage of the drug from the matrix.
• Drug release through-diffusion
• Least complicated approaches to manufacture sustained
release dosage form involves the direct compression of
drug, materials & additives to form a tablet .
October 23, 2013
25
27. 3) Microencapsulation
• method for retarding drug release by coating its
surface with a material(polymers) that retards
penetration by the dispersion fluid.
• it is a means of applying relatively thin coating
to small particles of solid or droplets of liquids and
dispersion.
Can be done byspray congealing
spray drying
October 23, 2013
27
29. 3)Ion exchange resins
• Sustained delivery of ionizing acidic & basic drug
can be obtained by complexing them with insoluble
non-toxic anion exchanger & cation exchanger resin
respectively.
• Release by diffusion .
• The complex can be prepared by incubating the
drug-resin solution or passing the drug solution
through a column containing ion exchange resin.
