Abstract
Piroxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug used in the treatment of osteo arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, classified in the Bio pharmaceutics Drug Classification system as a Class II drug because it has low solubility and high permeability. It demonstrates a slow and gradual absorption via the oral route and has a long half-life of elimination, rendering a prolonged therapeutic action and a delayed onset of anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect. Thus, an attempt is made to formulate piroxicam fast disintegrating tablet so that it helps to render faster onset of anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect. To increase the solubility of piroxicam solid dispersion method is opted in the present investigation. Study proposes the use of PVPk30 to prepare solid dispersion of piroxicam and comparison of its in-vitro dissolution with pure piroxicam. Fast Dissolving tablets can be prepared by conventional direct compression method using solid dispersion. For better Hardness, less friability, faster wetting time and less moisture uptake combination of both MCC and Mannitol are used in the formulation.


Introduction

Fast disintegration drug delivery system

In this period, fast disintegrating drug delivery system (FDDDS) began to gain popularity and acceptance since they can disintegrate/ dissolve quickly in the oral cavity upon contact with saliva, resulting in solutions or suspensions form of the administered medicine.Fast disintegrating drug delivery systems (FDDSs) are the systems which disintegrate even in the absence of additional water and release the active ingredient quickly. The development of pharmaceutical technology in past years has presented the development of alternative dosage forms for patients who may have difficulty in swallowing of conventional tablets. Among the drug delivery systems, the fast-disintegrating tablets (FDTs) are the more acceptable form because of its convenience of self-administration, compactness. Pediatric and geriatric patients, who have difficulty in swallowing, uncooperative patients, where the traditional tablets and capsules administration is inconvenient, the fast dissolving/ disintegrating tablets are perfect alternative. According to European Pharmacopoeia, the FDT disintegrate in less than three minutes. The basic approach used in development of FDT is the use of super disintegrants which provide instantaneous disintegration and thereby releasing the drug in saliva. Taste of the drug is one of the most important parameters which should be considered for the development of FDTs. Oral administration of bitter drugs with an acceptable degree of palatability can be achieved by taste masking approach. The Zydis (Catalent Pharma Solutions, Somerset, NJ) based on lyophylization technology is the first approved FDDDS.

Drug Profile

Piroxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) of the oxicam class and is used to relieve the symptoms of painful inflammatory conditions like arthritis. Piroxicam works by preventing the production of endogenous prostaglandins which are involved in the mediation of pain, stiffness, tenderness and swelling.

 Lateral Rock Characteristic Evidence of Hydrocarbon Restoration from Post-Stack Impedance Inversion: A Case Study of ZED-field Offshore Niger Delta Lateral predictions of rock properties that are descriptive of a reservoir have been studied using a model-established seismic inversion approach that was used to convert input seismic data into an acoustic impedance structure to optimize hydrocarbon restoration in the field. This was actualized by integrating wireline logs and 3D post stack seismic data procured from ZED-Field offshore Niger Delta. The inversion system employed in this study comprises of forward modelling of reflection coefficients starting with a low-frequency impedance model induced from well logs and convolution of the reflection coefficients with the source wavelet extracted from the seismic input. P-impedance analysis at reservoir C5000 delineated from the control well gave a near perfect correlation of 0.998109 (≈ 99.8 %) between the original P-impedance log, in...

 Sustainable Development: Reality Or Myth? Since the United Nations Environment Conference in Stockholm (1972), the concept of sustainable development has steadily made its way among individual scientists and international organizations. The apotheosis of this development was the adoption by the United Nations in 2015 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. However, many scientists and politicians were skeptical about the concept of sustainable development, since the results of implementing sustainable development in different countries were far from expected. Many decisions taken at the level of the UN and other international organizations turned out to be unfulfilled. In my opinion, as well as some other Russian scientists, the concept of sustainable development is an unrealistic project, it is a myth, although it is very positive and humane. Sustainable development goals can be achieved only by the most economically developed countries entering the era of post-industrialism. In...

 How to Treat Cancer Properly Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases in the world, chemotherapy is effective under some conditions, but has too heavy side effects, and it is not effective to a considerable proportion of cases while the side effects are often life-threatening, drugs (not unhealthy addictive drugs mentioned in reference four, the drug in reference four only mean those makes people addictive but does no good to health, destroying health quickly) are not always available to improve the condition. However, sport is a potential treatment that is effective to cancer before the cancer is disseminated, this gets little attention but is true both in theory and practice. The physical activities that have moderate intensity and duration should have devastating effects on cancer cells, they make the body hot and reduce the nutritional resources that cancer cells can get, also renew the proteins in the body and improve one’s mood, cancer cells are hard to live when one is activ...
