Pharmacodynamics is the study of how drugs act on the body and biological system, including receptor interactions and mechanisms of action. Most drugs act by binding to receptors, and spare receptors allow a maximal response even when not all receptors are occupied, as only a portion need to be bound. Agonists activate receptors to produce a response, with full agonists having maximal efficacy and partial agonists having less efficacy than full agonists. Antagonists block the action of agonists without activating the receptors themselves.

6. TYPES OF EUTRADIT POLYMERS
Soluble Poly(meth)acrylates :
They are soluble in digestive fluids by salt formation. Examples
are-Eudragit L, S, FS and E polymers. These polymers with acidic
or alkaline groups enable pH-dependent release of the active
ingredient.
Applications: from simple taste masking through gastric
resistance to controlled drug release in all sections of the intestine.
Insoluble Poly(meth)acrylates :
These are insoluble but permeable in digestive fluids. Some of
the examples are- Eudragit RL and RS polymers with alkaline and
Eudragit NE polymers with neutral groups enable controlled time
release of the active ingredient by pH-independent swelling.
Applications: delayed and sustained drug release
7. EUDRAGIT POLYMERS – PHARMACEUTICAL PROPERTIES:
•Poly(meth)acrylates are known worldwide in the industry under the
trade name Eudragit.
• These polymers allow the active in solid dosage form to perform during
the passage of the human body. The flexibility to combine the different
polymers enables to achieve the desired drug release profile by releasing
the drug at the right place and at the right time and, if necessary, over a
desired period of time. Other important functions are protection from
external influences
•(moisture) or taste/odor masking to increase patient compliance. The
range of product portfolio provides full flexibility for targeted drug
release profiles by offering best performance for enteric, protective or
sustained-release properties
8. •Enteric formulations
Gastroresistance and GI Targeting
To protect the active ingredient from the gastric fluid and to improve
drug effectiveness– Eudragit L and S polymers are preferred choice of
coating polymers. They enable targeting specific areas of the intestine
. Pharma Polymers offers a broad product portfolio of anionic
Eudragit grades which dissolve at rising pH values. The different
grades can be combined with each other, making it possible to adjust
the dissolution pH, and thus to achieve the required GI targeting for
the drug . Targeted drug release in the colon is required for local
treatment of intestinal disorders such as Crohn’s disease, ulcerative
colitis or intestinal cancer. It is also required for drugs that are poorly
soluble in the upper gastrointestinal tract. The gastroresistance of the
coating ensures that the oral dosage form for patient compliant. The
preferred coating is EUDRAGIT FS 30 D, which combines release in
the colon with the following technical advantages

Moisture Protection and Odor/Taste Masking
The active ingredient needs to protect from moisture or light to
increase patient compliance. Eudragit E polymers help to seal
sensitive actives and increase patient compliance by masking tastes
and odors. Even thin layers of Eudragit provide the desired effect,
making it an extremely economical application. Pharma Polymers
offer various cationic Eudragit E grades for protective coatings

12. •Sustained-release formulations
Time-controlled drug release
When drug release is needed over a specific period of time or one would like to benefit
from the advantages of multiparticulate or matrix formulations – Eudragit polymers can
help to achieve desired release profile. Drug delivery can be controlled throughout the
entire gastrointestinal tract to increase therapeutic effect and patient compliance.
Different polymer combinations of Eudragit RL and RS grades allow custom tailored
release profiles to achieve the desired drug delivery performance. Eudragit NE and NM
grades are neutral ester dispersions which do not require addition of plasticizer.
Formulation methods for time controlled drug release
•Matrix formulation
Eudragit serves as a matrix within which the active ingredient is embedded. The matrix
structure is obtained by direct compression, granulation, or melt extrusion. Eudragit
NM 30 D is particularly suitable for granulation processes in the manufacture of matrix
13. •Multiparticulate formulations
Eudragit is employed as a coating material, usually for the coating of
pellets or particles that are filled into capsules or compressed into tablets.
These pellets or particles act as diffusion cells in the digestive tract and
release a constant drug quantity per unit of time (multi-unit dosage
forms)
Benefit from Eudragit coatings with sustained release
•Time-controlled release of active ingredients
•Therapeutically customized release profiles
•Higher patient compliance due to reduced number of doses to be taken
•Cost-effective processing

16. DRUG RELEASE MECHANISM
Oral preparation for controlled release can be sub divided in systems
where drug release from the dosage form is governed by the following
principles:Dissolution ,Diffusion ,Osmotic Pressure ,Ion-Exchange
Dissolution :
Dissolution is the process by which a solid solute enters a solution. it
may be defined as the amount of drug substance that goes into solution
per unit time under standardized conditions of liquid/solid interface,
temperature and solvent composition. Dissolution is considered one of
the most important quality control tests performed on pharmaceutical
dosage forms and is now developing into a tool for predicting
bioavailability, and replacing clinical studies to determine
bioequivalence. Dissolution behaviour of drugs has a significant effect
on their pharmacological activity. a direct relationship between in vitro
dissolution rate of many drugs and their bioavailability has been
demonstrated and generally referred to as in vitro-in vivo correlation,
17. •Diffusion
Diffusion is driving force where the movement of drug molecules
occurs from high concentration to lower concentration in gastro
intestinal fluids. This movement depends on surface area exposed
to gastric fluid, diffusion pathway, drug concentration gradient
and diffusion coefficient of the system.
Dissolution
18. Diffusion release pattern
•Osmosis
Osmosis is a phenomenon in which the flow of liquid occurs from
lower concentration to higher concentration through a semi
permeable membrane which allows transfer of liquid only. The
whole drug is coated with a semi permeable membrane with a hole
on one end of tablet made by a laser beam. The gastric fluid
penetrates through the membrane, solubilizes the drug and increases
the internal pressure which pumps the drug solution out of the
aperture and releases the drug in gastric environment. The delivery
rate is constant provided that the excess of drug present inside the
tablet. But, it declines to zero once the concentration drops below
saturation9.
19. Osmotic release pattern
In practice, either of the two methods, first the drug is formulated in
an insoluble matrix; the gastric fluid penetrates the dosage form and
dissolves the medicament and release the drug through diffusion and
second the drug particles are coated with polymer of defined
thickness so as the portion of drug slowly diffuse through the
polymer to maintain constant drug level in blood.
20. •Ion-Exchange
•Ion exchangers are water insoluble resinous materials containing salt forming
anionic or cationic groups. While manufacturing, the drug solution is mixed with
resin and dried to form beads. The drug release depends upon high concentration of
charged ions in gastro intestinal tract where, the drug molecules are exchanged and
diffused out of the resin into the surrounding fluid. This mechanism relies upon the
ionic environment of resin and not pH or enzyme on absorption site. Dissolution
controlled dosage forms can be divided into reservoir and matrix system.
Reservoir principle is given by a controlled release formulation comprising
400mg 5-ASA within an acrylic resin coat, eudragit S. Mechanism of drug release
from pellets coated with polymer eudragit E 30 D, was governed by diffusion
through water-filled pores in the film coat. The release of propanolol HCL from a
monolithic matrix (Eudragit NE 30 D) by a combination of diffusion through the
polymer and pores or chanels. A desirable release profile of diphenhydramine was
achieved by incorporating Eudragit L in a carnauba wax matrix. The drug release
from these polymer- wax matrices is described by a combination diffusion/erosion
mechanism.
21. •Ophthalmic Drug Delivery
A major problem being faced in ocular therapeutics is the attainment
of an optimal concentration at the site of action. Poor bioavailability
of drugs from ocular dosage forms is mainly due to the tear
production, non-productive absorption, transient residence time, and
impermeability of corneal epithelium. Eudragit exhibits favorable
behavior, such as no
toxicity, positive charge and controlled release profile this make
them suitable for opthalic application.
APPLICATIONS OF EUDRAGIT POLYMERS:
22. •Buccal and Sublingual Drug Delivery
The oral mucosae in general epithelia intermediate between that of the epidermis and
intestinal mucosa. It is estimated that the permeability of the buccal mucosa is 4-4000
times greater than that of the skin. The permeabilities of the oral mucosae decrease in
the order of sublingual greater than buccal, and buccal greater than palatal. At
physiological pH the mucus network carries a negative charge (due to the sialic acid
and sulfate residues) which may play a role in mucoadhesion. At this pH mucus can
form a strongly cohesive gel structure that will bind to the epithelial cell surface as a
gelatinous layer. limitation of the buccal route of administration is the lack of dosage
form retention at the site of absorption. bioadhesive polymers have extensively been
employed in buccal drug delivery systems. Polymers which can adhere to either hard
or soft tissue have been used for many years in surgery and dentistry.
Diverse classes of polymers have been investigated for their potential use as
mucoadhesives. These include synthetic polymers such as monomeric a
cyanoacrylate, polyacrylic acid, and poly methacrylate derivatives.
An ideal buccal film should be flexible, elastic, and soft yet strong enough to
withstand breakage due to stress from activities in the mouth. Moreover, it must
also possess good mucoadhesive strength so that it is retained in the mouth for the
desired
23. An ideal buccal film should be flexible, elastic, and soft yet strong
enough to withstand breakage due to stress from activities in the
mouth. Moreover, it must also possess good mucoadhesive
strength so that it can retained in the mouth for the desired
duration. To prevent discomfort, swelling of the film should not be
too extensive.
The mechanical, bioadhesive, and swelling properties of buccal
films are critical and must be evaluated. Various mucoadhesive
devices, including tablets, films, patches, disks, strips , ointments,
and gels, have recently been developed . Eudragit providing good
drug release barier with good adhesive strength
24. •Gastrointestinal Drug Delivery
The need for gastro retentive dosage forms has led to extensive
efforts in both academia and industry towards the development of
such drug delivery systems. These efforts resulted in gastro retentive
dosage forms that were designed, in large part, based on the
following approaches , Low density form of the dosage form that
causes buoyancy in gastric fluid, High density dosage form that is
retained in the bottom of the stomach, Bioadhesion to stomach
mucosa, Slowed motility of the gastrointestinal tract by concomitant
administration of drugs or pharmaceutical excipients, Expansion by
swelling or unfolding to a large size which limits emptying of the
dosage form through the pyloric sphincter . All these techniques we
can achieved with different grades of eudragit.
25. •Intestinal Drug Delivery
Sustained intestine delivery of drugs was developed that could
bypass the stomach and release the loaded drug for long periods
into the intestine by coating of eudragit polymer. Eudragit L &
Eudragit S are two forms of commercially available enteric acrylic
resins. Both of them produce films resistant to gastric fluid.
Eudragit L & S are soluble in intestinal fluid at pH 6 & 7 .
Eudragit L is available as an organic solution (Isopropanol), solid
or aqueous dispersion. Eudragit S is available only as an organic
solution (Isopropanol) and solid
26. •Colon Drug Delivery
Colonic drug delivery is a relatively recent approach for the
treatment of diseases like ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, and
irritable bowel syndrome. pH-sensitive polymers that dissolve, or
above pH 7 used for colonic drug delivery.Tegaserod maleate was
used as a drug for irritable bowel syndrome, whereas Eudragit L
100 and S100 mixture (1:1, 1:2, and 1:3) were used.
. Sodium para aminosalicylate Pellets were coated with Eudragit
L 30 D-55 using fluidized bed processor and evaluated for in
vitro dissolution behavior in 0.1 N HCl for two hours and then
media was changed to phosphate buffer pH 6.8. A 60% w/w
coating level of Eudragit L30 D 55 has produced the most
acceptable results against the gastric attack
27. •Transdermal Drug Delivery
The mechanical properties of casted Eudragit E-100 films were
tested for the combined effect of two cohesion promoters (succinic
or citric acid) and triacetin as a plasticizer38. The prepared films
were elastic, self-adhesive, transparent and pale yellow in colour.
Eudragit E100 polymer was found to result in wrinkle-free
transparent films with good adhesion to skin. Release kinetics from
transdermal therapeutic system was observed due to erosion of
hydrophilic Eudragit E100 polymer, and 100% release was observed
within 20 minutes40
28. •Vaginal Drug Delivery
Eudragit RS100 vaginal suppositories containing sildenafil, and
other excipients give adequate release. Intravaginal tablet were
prepared with 1:1 ratio of lactic acid to Eudragit E-100, tablets
disintegrating into a gelform at physiological range of 3.8-4.4
pH. These gels possess an acid reserve that might be able to
neutralise the excess of alkali present in severe vaginal
infections42.
29. •Gene Delivery
The course of many hereditary diseases could be reversed by gene
delivery. In addition, many acquired diseases such as multigenetic
disorders and those diseases caused by viral genes could be
treated by genetic therapy43. Nanoparticles prepared by blending
PLGA with methacrylate copolymer (Eudragit(R) E100) can
efficiently and safely deliver plasmid DNA encoding mouse
interleukin-10 leading to prevention of autoimmune diabetes44.
New Anionic nanoparticles were prepared by Eudragit L100/55
provide a versatile platform for protein surface adsorption and a
promising delivery system particularly when the maintenance of
the biologically active conformation is required for vaccine
efficacy. Antisense oligodeoxynucleotides were successfully
delivered by nanoparticles prepared by Eudragit RL100, RS100.
30. •Vaccine Delivery
Anionic surfactant-free polymeric core-shell nanospheres and
microspheres were prepared by Eudragit L100-55. Vaccines were
administered by different routes, including intramuscular, subcutaneous
or intranasal and the results were compared to immunization with Tat
alone or with Tat delivered with the alum adjuvant. The data demonstrate
that the nano and microspheres/Tat formulations are safe and induce
robust and long-lasting cellular and humoral responses in mice after
systemic and/or mucosal immunization45. Weight ratio of Noveon and
Eudragit S- 100 had a significant effect on adhesion time of bilayer
films. Postloaded plasmid DNA and beta-gal remained stable after being
released from bilayer films (release of -60-80% in 2 h for both). Buccal
immunization using novel bilayer films (109 +/-6-microm thickness)
containing plasmid DNA led to comparable antigen-specific IgG titer to
that of subcutaneous protein injection. All rabbits immunized with
plasmid DNA via the buccal route but none by the subcutaneous route
with protein antigen demonstrated splenocyte proliferative immune
responses.

The large variety of applications as well as the steadily
increasing number of research workers engaged in studies of
Eudragit polymers due to their unique properties, have made
significant contributions to many types of formulations and
suggest that the potential of Eudragit as novel and versatile
polymer will be even more significant in future.
