Pluronic F-68 Montmorillonite As A Drug Delivery Vehicle For Extended Release Of Venlafaxine Hydrochloride.
Drug Research 2023 April 29
Short half-life and low bioavailability of Venlafaxine hydrochloride (VF), an antidepressant drug, necessitates the frequent administration of VF tablets in a day in order to maintain adequate drug concentration in blood plasma. This generates the need for the development of formulations which could prolong the release of VF and reduce the multiple dosages. The present work explores the combination of Montmorillonite (Mt) with Pluronic F-68 (PF-68) (OrganoMT) for oral delivery of VF. The effect of various parameters including pH of aqueous drug solution, contact time and initial drug concentration on drug loading capacity of OrganoMT has been studied. The synthesized OrganoMT-VF complexes were characterized by various suitable techniques. XRD studies indicated that the VF molecules were intercalated within the OrganoMT layers. In vitro release behavior of VF from OrganoMT-VF complexes shows an extended-release pattern for a period of 30 h and reaches upto 70% and 60% compared to pure VF having complete release time of 5.5 h and 3.5 h in simulated gastric and intestinal fluid respectively. Various kinetic models were employed to elucidate the drug release mechanism where the best fitting was obtained with Korsmeyer Peppas model. The results suggest the possibility of designing an oral extended controlled release formulation for VF to minimize its administration frequency thereby increasing the effectiveness of drug. This improves patient compliance by reducing the dose from 4 times in 24 h to once in 24 h.
