TL;DR
This study developed fast dispersible dimenhydrinate tablets using a cost-effective method and validated their performance with modeling.
Contribution
A novel compactional study and in-silico PBPK modeling approach for optimizing fast dispersible dimenhydrinate tablets.
Findings
Formulation F2 showed optimal mechanical strength and complete drug release within 15 minutes.
In-silico modeling predicted pharmacokinetic parameters comparable to experimental values.
All formulations were stable under accelerated conditions and followed the Weibull dissolution model.
Abstract
The aim of this study was to optimize and evaluate dimenhydrinate fast dispersible tablets (50 mg) by utilizing cost effective direct compression method. A total of nine formulations (F1-F9) were designed and developed by central composite rotatable design using design expert® software (version 11.0, Stat-Ease Inc.,) to study the impact of avicel PH102 (15–55%) and sodium starch glycolate (2–8%) on responses, i.e., hardness (R1), disintegration time (R2) and % drug release (R3). Powder blends of all formulations showed good flow behavior. Post compressional studies were conducted to assess the quality attributes of the compressed formulations. Formulation F2 was found to be optimized with good mechanical strength, i.e., hardness 4.2 kg, friability 0.77%, disintegration time 19 secs and % drug release 100.01% at 15 minutes. Compressional behavior of optimized formulation was determined…
