Hydrophilic matrix tablets with controlled drug release have been used extensively as one of the most successful oral drug delivery systems for optimizing therapeutic efficacy. In this work, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to study the influence of various pHs and mechanical stresses caused by medium flow (at rest, 80, or 150 mL/min) on swelling and on pentoxifylline release from xanthan (Xan) tablets. Moreover, a bimodal MRI system with simultaneous release testing enables measurements of hydrogel thickness and drug release, both under the same experimental conditions and at the same time. The results show that in water, the hydrogel structure is weaker and less resistant to erosion than the Xan structure in the acid medium. Different hydrogel structures affect drug release with erosion controlled release in water and diffusion controlled release in the acid medium. Mechanical stress simulating gastrointestinal contraction has no effect on the hard hydrogel in the acid medium where the release is independent of the tested stress, while it affects the release from the weak hydrogel in water with faster release under high stress. Our findings suggest that simultaneous MR imaging and drug release from matrix tablets together provide a valuable prognostic tool for prolonged drug delivery design. |
