Formulation and Development of Orodispersible Tablet of Baclofen by Effervescent Method

The aim of the present study was to develop orodispersible tablets of Baclofen for improving patient compliance, by overcoming the difficulties in swallowing, with the prime objective of arriving at cost effective product by effervescent method. In the effervescent method, mixture of sodium bicarbonate and tartaric acid (each of 12% w/w concentration) were used along with super disintegrants, i.e., treated agar, sodium starch glycolate (SSG), Cross Carmellose Sodium (CCS) and Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC). The prepared batches of tablets were evaluated for hardness, friability, drug content uniformity, in vitro dispersion time. The hardness and friability test reports revealed that the tablets had a good mechanical strength and resistance. The formulation containing high concentration of MCC, SSC and CCS and mixture of effervescent emerged as the best formulation based on in vitro drug release characteristics. The results of this work suggest that orodispersible tablets of Baclofen with rapid disintegration time, fast drug release and good hardness can be efficiently and successfully formulated by effervescent method

Analytical Method Development and Validation of Exemestane Tablet by UV Spectrophotometry

The present research work discusses the development and validation of a UV spectrophotometric method for Exemestane. Simple, accurate and cost efficient spectrophotometric method has been developed for the estimation of Exemestane in Tablet dosage form. The optimum conditions for the analysis of the drug were established. The maximum wavelength (λ max) was found to be 246 nm. The percentage recovery of Exemestane was in the 98.7±0.4. Beers law was obeyed in the concentration range of 2-14 µg/mL. Calibration curves shows a linear relationship between the absorbance and concentration. The line equation y=0.05954x+0.0000 with r2 of 0.9938 was obtained. Validation was performed according to ICH guidelines for Linearity, accuracy, precision, LOD and LOQ. The sample solution was stable up to 36 hours. The proposed method may be suitable for the analysis of Exemestane in tablet formulation for quality control purposes
