Description:
Objective: The purpose of this investigation was to formulate, optimize and evaluate sublingual film of Enalapril maleate for rapid management of
Hypertension.
Methods: Sublingual films were prepared by solvent casting method. Present investigation were formulated by using HPMC E 15 (X1) as polymer
and Polyethylene glycol (X2) as plasticizer were chosen as independent variables in 32
Results: From the experimental study, it was concluded that the optimized batch F
full factorial design while Tensile strength (TS),
Disintegration time (DT) and % Cumulative drug release at 10 min. (?R) were taken as dependent variables. The various physical parameters
were evaluated for sublingual films such as thickness, tensile strength, folding endurance, disintegration time, surface pH and ?R.
8 showed 98.6 %, the highest release of the drug. Stability study
was performed by taking an optimized formulation and it was observed stable. The sublingual films showed acceptable results in all studies such as
thickness, tensile strength, folding endurance, disintegration time, surface pH and ?R at 10 min. R2 values for Tensile Strength (Y1),
Disintegration time (Y2) and % cumulative drug release at 10 min. of Enalaprilmaleate (Y3
Conclusion: 3
) found to be 0.9852, 0.9829 and 0.9641 respectively.
Thus, a good correlation between dependent and independent variables was developed.
