    Area of Science:

    • Pharmaceutical Sciences
    • Drug Delivery Systems
    • Physical Chemistry

    Background:

    • Achieving zero-order drug release is crucial for maintaining therapeutic drug concentrations.
    • Traditional drug delivery systems often exhibit non-linear release profiles.
    • Geometric factors have been underexplored in optimizing zero-order release.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and validate a new theoretical approach for zero-order drug delivery incorporating geometric parameters.
    • To experimentally verify the proposed theory using a model drug system.
    • To demonstrate the reproducibility of the zero-order release process.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a theoretical model for drug release based on geometric considerations.
    • Construction of an experimental device to test the theoretical model.
    • Conducting release studies using stearic acid as a model solid in ethanol.

    Main Results:

    • Experimental data confirmed the theoretical predictions for zero-order drug release.
    • Stearic acid release followed a zero-order kinetic profile.
    • Three independent trials demonstrated reproducible release characteristics.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed geometric approach offers a viable strategy for achieving predictable zero-order drug delivery.
    • The experimental validation confirms the robustness and reproducibility of the developed system.
    • This work provides a foundation for designing advanced drug delivery systems with controlled release profiles.
