Abstract:
The objective of the present study was to correlate the results of the in vitro release of a previously reported pulsatile drug delivery system with the in vivo radio imaging study. The formulated drug delivery system containing pellets of barium sulphate was administered to rabbits after overnight fast. Formulated dosage form, previously evaluated for in vitro drug release study, showed drug release after 6-10 h of lag time depending on the hardness as well as the thickness of the plug. Radio imaging study also showed that the plug in the capsule drug delivery system remains intact for the period of 6 h. Thus, the formulated drug delivery system is capable of delaying release in vitro as well as in rabbits for 6 hours.

Methods for Studying Drug Absorption: In situ
The Doluisio method involves perfusing a prepared segment of a rat's small intestine with a solution of radiolabeled drug and a non-absorbable marker. This helps to differentiate between absorbed and non-absorbed drug concentrations. The intestinal segment is connected at both ends using tubing and syringes,...
