Abstract

The objective of the present study was to develop gastroretentive floating tablets of quetiapine fumarate. The gastroretentive floating tablets of quetiapine fumarate were formulated using natrosol 250 HHX as a sustained release polymer and sodium bicarbonate as a gas forming agents.  A 32 factorial design was employed to study the influence of concentration of natrosol HHX 250 (X1) and concentration of sodium bicarbonate (X2) on the dependent variables % drug release at 1h (Y1), % drug release at 8 h (Y2) and floating lag time (Y3). The optimized formulation (O1) showed floating lag time 49 ± 3 sec and % drug release 99.54± 0.81 at 12 h. The in vitro release of F1-F9 batches were found in between 99.95 ± 1.18 %  to  86.32 ±1.71 % at 12 h. Floating lag time of F1-F9 batches were found to be 25± 2 sec to 178 ± 3 sec. FTIR studies shown that there was no  interaction between quetiapine fumarate and excipients. From the factorial design batches it was found that floating lag time was decreased with increasing the amount of sodium bicarbonate and decreasing the amount of natrosol 250 HHX. Here % release of drug was decreased with increase the extent of natrosol 250 HHX. The in-vitro release kinetics revealed Korsmeyer-Peppas model is followed and drug release is by anomalous diffusion.
