Abstrakt: Gastroretentive raft-forming formulations were developed in liquid and chewable tablet dosage forms to achieve prolonged delivery of quercetin in the stomach. The formulations contained a solid dispersion of quercetin and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP K 30) at a 1:10 w/w ratio to improve the solubility of the flavonoid. The formulations also contained sodium alginate as a gel forming agent, calcium carbonate as a calcium source and carbon dioxide producer and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose K100M as a drug release retarding polymer. The chewable tablets incorporated mannitol as a diluent. Both liquid and chewable tablet formulations exhibited rapid floating behaviour (lag time < 1 min) and long floating duration (>24 h) in 0.1 N HCl. The optimized liquid formulation showed superior characteristics based on high raft strength (10.4 g) and sustained release of quercetin (93 % over 8 h) whereas the optimized chewable tablet formulation exhibited lower raft strength (7.2 g) and lower drug release (79 % in 8 h). The optimized liquid and chewable tablet formulations were found to induce anti-inflammatory activity in cell culture using RAW 264.7 cells macrophages and enhance the migration of human gastric adenocarcinoma (AGS) epithelial cells in vitro , indicating wound healing potential for treatment of gastric ulcers.
