It usually happens during puberty, when the sebaceous (oil) glands begin to function. Androgens are produced by the male and female adrenal glands and stimulate the glands. Acne vulgaris is a type of acne that means \"common acne.\" It is a skin infection caused by sebaceous gland changes. The red colour is caused by skin inflammation caused by infection in the skin. Acne is a general skin condition that is associated with pimples and is common among teenagers. An anti-acne gel of Benzoyl peroxide containing silver nanoparticle was prepared using carbopol as a polymer and water as a solvent, and then incorporated into a topical gel using a magnetic stirrer. The product was checked for its physicochemical properties. The prepared gel’s pH, spread ability, drug content, viscosity, drug release, and antibacterial activity were statistically optimized and evaluated. The antibacterial and anti-acne activities of the various formulations were checked and compared with commercially available formulations using a modified agar well diffusion method for Staphylococcus aureus cultures. Prepared topical gel of Benzoyl peroxide was shown the pH range 5 to 6, viscosity 434±36.56 to 651±41.43 cp, spread ability range 15.29 to 24. 51g.cm/sec, zone of inhibition ranges 12.23 to 21.65mm, drug content ranges 91.26±0.74 to 98.74±0.63%, the drug release of gel formulation was after 12 hour was 80.74 to 71.52. The preparation of silver nanoparticles and incorporation into the Benzoyl peroxide-containing gel were done successfully.

Oral route is most preferred route of drug administration and tablets are the more convenient dosage form. In present research natural polymers guar gum and xanthan gum were used to make sustained release tablet of Indomethacin. Indomethacin release from the tablets was studied in phosphate buffer pH 7.2. The drug release pattern of six different formulations in which xanthan gum and guar gum were used as a retarding material in different proportions was shown in table no. 6. The formulation F1 releases (75.20%) upto 12 hrs whereas the formulation F2 releases the drug (98.81%) in same time. The formulations F3, F4, F5 and F6 release 98.32%, 99.29%, 98.79% and 82.40% respectively. The dissolution pattern of both gums was similar i.e. with drug to polymer ratio (1:1). In present work F1 shows best sustained release upto 12 hrs in which Drug to Polymer ratio was 1:1:0 (Drug : Xanthan gum : Guar gum). In formulation F2 drug release was not sustained and complete release occurs in 12 hrs where the Drug to Polymer ratio was 1:1.67:0 (Drug: Xanthan gum : Guar gum). It was found that on the concentration of xanthan gum decreases the release rate of the drug also decreases. For sustain release there is not much role of Guar Gum reported. Indomethacin drug has been selected which has half-life 4.5 hrs. Hence the present work, an attempt has been made to provide sustained release drug delivery using polymers with Indomethacin as the model drug. Xanthan gum was best able to retard Indomethacin release mechanism even in the presence of a polymer. Polymer can be used to formulate successful sustained release Indomethacin matrix tablets that have desirable characteristics.","PeriodicalId":20963,"journal":{"name":"Research Journal of Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms and Technology","volume":"22 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140442096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
