Development Of Site - Specific Drug Delivery Systems Using Hot Melt Extrusion And Fused Deposition Modeling 3d Printing, Nagireddy Reddy Dumpa
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Due to preferential site of drug absorption and the need for increased concentration of medication at the required tissues, dosage forms should be designed or formulated in such a way that medication is released at a specific site or after a specific time in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Knowledge of transit times of dosage forms in each part of GIT, by use of particular polymers or employing specific delivery systems such as floating systems, delivery of medication to specific sites in the GIT can be achieved. HME coupled FDM 3D printing has the capability to create customized dosage forms for …
Development Of Ibuprofen Tablet With Polyethylene Oxide Using Fused Deposition Modeling (Fdm) 3d Printing Coupled With Hot-Melt Extrusion, Sooyeon Chung
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Ibuprofen is known to plasticize several polymers used in the pharmaceutical field, and it is considered challenging to achieve an immediate release by fused deposition modeling (FDM). Therefore, this study aimed to print ibuprofen tablet with a focus on achieving immediate release. Polyethylene oxide (Polyox WSR N80) was used as a main matrix to form the ibuprofen filament due to its water-soluble property and manifesting suitable mechanical property even with the high drug loading (40% w/w). Several release modifiers such as Kollidon VA64, Kollidon 12PF, Kollicoat IR, Kollidon CL, and Mannitol were added separately to the formulation to enhance the …
