Formulation and Characterization of Sublingual Tablets of Iloperidone Prepared by Microenvironmental pH Regulated Approach

Alleviating the Influence of Circadian Rhythms and Drug Properties to the Release of Paliperidone Gel Matrix Tablets with Compression Coating Technology and Microenvironment Shaping

The influence of circadian rhythms is an important content in oral dosage form study which is shown as different pH conditions and gastrointestinal dynamics in the gastrointestinal tract. The purpose of this study was to alleviate the influence of circadian rhythms and drug properties to the release of gel matrix tablets in vitro and in vivo. In this study, the compression coating technology and microenvironment shaping were utilized to achieve the alleviation of the influence of circadian rhythms and drug properties. The compression coating technology was used to alleviate the influence of gastrointestinal dynamics, and microenvironment shaping was used to alleviate the interference of different pH condition variations. The self-made compression coating tablet could maintain a consistent release rate in different pH conditions and different dynamic environments in vitro for 24 h. In vivo, the pharmacokinetic parameters C_max and T_max were 3701.675 ng/mL and 24 h, respectively, and the release effect in vivo was similar to the paliperidone osmotic pump tablet with the ability to alleviate the influence of circadian rhythms. The correlation coefficient R² was 0.9914 for the self-made paliperidone compression coating tablet in vitro-in vivo correlation. The interference caused by circadian rhythms was alleviated so that the compression coating technology with microenvironment shaping could replace the osmotic pump technology with easier preparation process and cheaper costs in vitro and in vivo and achieve the effect of alleviating the interference of circadian rhythms.
