Relationship between drug dissolution and leaching of plasticizer for pellets coated with an aqueous Eudragit® S100:L100 dispersion

TLDR
The plasticizer content in the film coating influenced the dissolution profile of theophylline from pellets coated with Eudragit S100:L100 (1:1) and a TEC level of approximately 30% in the films was the critical amount for initiating drug release during dissolution testing at pH 6.0.

Films from resistant starch-pectin dispersions intended for colonic drug delivery

TL;DR: Free films obtained by the solvent casting method from retrograded starch-pectin dispersions at different polymer proportions and concentrations with and without plasticizer indicated a more organized and crystalline structure of free films in relation to isolated polymers.

Influence of plasticizer type and level on the properties of Eudragit® S100 matrix pellets prepared by hot-melt extrusion

TL;DR: Investigation of the influence of three plasticizers at two levels (10% or 20%) on the properties of hot-melt extruded Eudragit® S100 matrix pellets found the drug release in acidic medium was influenced by the aqueous solubility of the plasticizer.

A pH-dependent colon targeted oral drug delivery system using methacrylic acid copolymers: I. Manipulation of drug release using Eudragit® L100-55 and Eudragit® S100 combinations

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a combination of Eudragit L100-55 and EUDragit S100 can be successfully used from aqueous system to coat tablets for colon targeted delivery of drugs and the formulation can be adjusted to deliver drug at any other desirable site of the intestinal region of the GI tract on the basis of pH-variability.

Mechanical properties of dry and wet cellulosic and acrylic films prepared from aqueous colloidal polymer dispersions used in the coating of solid dosage forms.

TL;DR: The low permeability of a water-soluble drug, chlorpheniramine maleate, and the weak mechanical properties of Aquacoat films could suggest osmotic driven/rupturing effects as the release mechanisms from aquacoat-coated dosage forms.

Polymer blends used for the aqueous coating of solid dosage forms: importance of the type of plasticizer.

TL;DR: Interestingly, drug release strongly depended on the type of plasticizer, and the hydrophilicity of the plasticizer significantly affected the water uptake behavior of the film coatings and, hence, changes in the coatings' toughness and drug permeability.
