Abstract:
:Baclofen is a centrally acting skeletal muscle relaxant approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of muscle spasticity, but the immediate release mode of administration and rapid absorption has been associated with adverse effects. The main objective of this study was to prepare modified release floating beads of baclofen in order to decrease the unwanted side effects. The beads were prepared using alginate and coated with Eudragit RS100, Eudragit L100 and cetyl alcohol. They were evaluated for their encapsulation efficiency, buoyance characteristics, morphology, and in vitro release. They have also been tested in vivo for their oral bioavailability and potential side effects. The prepared beads showed floating properties up to 12 h with different lag times ranging from 45.67 to 72.33 sec. Morphological evaluation using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that the coated beads show smooth with no pores or cracks surfaces. Real-time morphology of the beads during in vitro release testing was studied by the SEM. Optimized formulation of baclofen coated beads exhibited favorable mechanical properties, in addition, it provided extended baclofen release for up to 6 h. In addition, in vivo studies showed that the coated beads effectively decreased the hypotensive side effect associated with rapid plasma peaking from Baclofen® immediate-release tablets. In addition, there were significant differences between the values of Cmax, Tmax, and AUC0-24 of optimized modified release baclofen floating formulations when compared to Baclofen® immediate-release tablets.
