Release Kinetics of Cellulosic Nano particulate Formulation for Oral Administration of an Antiviral Drug: Effect of Process and Formulation variables

Recently, researchers have increasing interest in cellulosic polymers for optimizing the efficiency of existing drugs utilizing better-designed drug delivery systems. In the present research nanoparticles were prepared using cellulose esters to obtain a drug product with a good oral bioavailability and biological half life. Acyclovir (ACY) was formulated by combining the modified solvent evaporation/extraction technique, sonicator and high pressure homogenization approaches. Various formulation parameters such as sonication-time, concentration of cellulose esters and surfactants were studied. Nanoparticles were obtained with enhanced encapsulation efficiency, negatively charged, defined shape, size and with homogeneous size distribution. In vitro release was studied in variable pH using various kinetic models to determine the pattern and mechanism of drug release which showed a sustained ACY release up to 5 weeks. Results indicate that nanoparticulate formulations using cellulosic polymers are ideal carriers for oral administration of ACY having great potential to address the dose related issues of ACY.
