Swelling, erosion and drug release characteristics of Sodium Diclofenac from heterogeneous matrix tablets

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of combination lipophilic (Acryl-EZE ® ) and hydrophilic (HPMC) polymers on the release of Sodium Diclofenac (DS) from a tablet was investigated.

Rapid photo-crosslinking of fumaric acid monoethyl ester-functionalized poly(trimethylene carbonate) oligomers for drug delivery applications

TL;DR: Photo-crosslinkable, fumaric acid monoethyl ester-functionalized poly(trimethylene carbonate) oligomers were synthesized and copolymerized with N-vinyl pyrrolidone (NVP) and vinyl acetate (VAc) to form biodegradable polymer networks.

Theoretical analysis of inward hemispheric release above and below drug solubility

TL;DR: A detailed analysis of inward diffusional drug release from devices with hemispheric and related geometries is presented, showing that the previously used zero-order release assumption is not quite correct, even at later times, and this affects parameter estimation procedures.

Optimization of acyclovir oral tablets based on gastroretention technology: factorial design analysis and physicochemical characterization studies.

TL;DR: It is concluded that a combination of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose 4000, Compritol 888, and sodium bicarbonate can be used to increase the gastric residence time of the dosage form up to 12 h and seem to be a promising gastroretentive drug delivery system.

Modeling of dispersed-drug release from two-dimensional matrix tablets.

TL;DR: A mathematical model was developed and analytical solutions were obtained for dispersed-drug release from two-dimensional matrix tablets in a perfect sink to describe kinetics of solute release from matrices with isotropic or anisotropic properties.
