The document summarizes the design and statistical optimization of a pulsatile delivery system containing pantoprazole sodium. Key points include: - The aim is to develop a pulsatile drug release tablet for pantoprazole sodium using MCC, CCS, and SSG to achieve a lag time of 5 hours followed by immediate drug release. - A 32 factorial design is used to optimize the formulation. Preliminary studies evaluate formulations with varying levels of MCC, CCS, and SSG. - Tablets are evaluated for pre-compression parameters, drug content, disintegration time, and dissolution profile in pH 6.8 buffer. - The best formulation from preliminary studies will be selected for

pulsatile drug delivery:
current perspectives
Journal of controlled

2009 Vol 134 issue 2
Pulsatiledelivery, multiparticulate dosage
forms are gaining much favor over single-
unit dosage forms because of their potential
benefits like predictable gastric emptying,
no risk of dose dumping, flexible release
patterns and increased bioavailability with
less inter- and intra-subject variability.

Pulsatile drug delivery system of Venlafaxine
Hydrochloride has been successfully prepared for
oral delivery of drug. This is a type of controlled
drug delivery system which shows sustained
therapeutic action; with lag time where there is no
release of the drug during initial lag phase of drug
administration. Venlafaxine Pulsatile formulations
were prepared using sodium alginate, pectin AS104,
and sodium bicarbonate for obtaining required lag
time.

43.  The values of the correlation coefficient indicate a good fit shows the
plot of amount of MCC(X1) and amount of SSG (X2) versus Hardness,
Friability, Disintegration time and Invitro release of tablets respectively.
The data demonstrates that code f3 containing 180 mg of X1 and 2 mg of
X2 were optimized one based on in-vitro dissolution study (Y4).
11-Jan-18 43

44.  From the above study f3 formulation was considered as a best formulation based
on evaluation parameters.
 In this batch f3 show satisfactory hardness, maximum drug release and
disintegrated within 2 minute.
 A pulsatile drug release, where the drug is released rapidly after a well defined
lag time.
 Here the core tablet f3 show maximum drug release. So f3 formulation is
susceptible for coating.

50. CONCLUSION
 The work described design of new pulsatile delivery tablets of
pantoprazole using factorial design approach for better treatment
outcome for peptic ulcer.
 Preparation of Pulsatile tablets using factorial design was found to be
well suited and sound approach to obtain the successful formulations.
 Inclusion of MCC and sodium starch glycolate greatly influence the
quality of formulation.
11-Jan-18 50

51.  These results render the designed pantoprazole pulsatile tablets as possible
candidate for peptic ulcer patient with enhanced patient compliance.
 Pantoprazole sodium is anti-ulcer drug to achieve chronotherapeutic delivery of
drug for improved patient compliance the newer device was successfully
developed and optimized.
 The optimized dosage form (f3) can be taken at bedtime and released the content
in the early morning hours when ulcer symptoms are more severe.
 Also the formulation suitable for large scale production.
