Popis: | The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential of a pectin formulation with in situ gelling properties for the oral sustained delivery of paracetamol (acetaminophen). The formulations consisted of dilute aqueous solutions (1% to 2% w/v) of low methoxy pectin containing calcium ions in complexed form, which on release in the acidic environment of the stomach caused gelation of the pectin. In vitro studies demonstrated diffusion-controlled release of paracetamol from the gels over a period of 6 h. A bioavailability of approximately 96% of that of a paracetamol solution could be achieved from gels containing an identical dose of drug formed in situ in the stomachs of rats, with appreciably lower peak plasma levels and a sustained release of drug over a period of at least 6 h. |
