KINETICS STUDY ON KETOPROFEN RELEASE FROM MINI TABLETS AND MULTI-COMPARTMENT SYSTEMS.
Multi-compartment drug delivery systems allow for modified release of ketoprofen. These systems enable personalized medicine by adjusting drug release profiles based on environmental pH and individual patient needs.
Area of Science:
- Pharmaceutical Sciences
- Drug Delivery Systems
- Pharmacokinetics
Background:
- Drug release modification is crucial for optimizing therapeutic outcomes.
- Ketoprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, exhibits pH-dependent solubility.
- Multi-compartment systems offer a platform for controlled drug release.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and evaluate multi-compartment systems for ketoprofen delivery.
- To investigate the influence of pH on ketoprofen release from different formulations.
- To demonstrate the potential of these systems for personalized medicine.
Main Methods:
- Formulation of immediate-release (IR), sustained-release (SR), and enteric-coated immediate-release (IRc) ketoprofen mini-tablets.
- In vitro drug release testing in three media: 0.1 M HCl, pH 4.5, and pH 6.8 phosphate buffers.
- Construction and validation of three multi-compartment models based on release data.
Main Results:
- Ketoprofen release was significantly influenced by the pH of the dissolution medium.
- Increased pH led to enhanced ketoprofen solubility and release.
- The developed multi-compartment systems demonstrated tunable drug release profiles.
Conclusions:
- Multi-compartment systems provide a flexible approach to modify ketoprofen release.
- Environmental pH is a critical factor affecting ketoprofen bioavailability.
- These systems support the principles of personalized medicine by enabling customized drug delivery.
