Development and evaluation of combined formulation for the immediate delivery of vildagliptin and sustained delivery of metformin hcl with comparison to the marketed formulation CONTENTS : Aim and objective Introduction Plan of work Literature review Drug profile Experimental methodology
Aim The aim of this study is to formulate and evaluate the bilayer tablet (immediate delivery of vildagliptin and sustained release of metformin hcl with comparison to marketed formulation Objectives Preparation of immediate release layer of vildagliptin 400mg (polymers used HPMC, PEO, Locust bean gum) Preparation of sustained release layer of metformin hcl 900mg (polymers used HPMC, Eutragid, PEO) Preparation of bilayer tablet by direct compression method. Evaluation studies of bilayer tablet of vildagliptin and metformin hcl. Optimization by using DOE (to find the best levels for input factors) Comparative studies by using dissolution and disintegration time.
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major public health issue affecting more than 400 million people worldwide. DM is caused either by deficiency of insulin secretion, damage of pancreatic β cell or insulin resistance related to non-use of insulin. Type 1 DM and type 2 DM are the 2 types of DM. Type 1 DM is an autoimmune disorder that affects pancreatic cells which reduces or impairs the production of insulin while type 2 DM is a result of impairment of pancreatic beta cells that hinder the individual’s ability to use insulin The multilayered tablet concept has been long utilized to develop sustained release formulations. Such a tablet has a fast releasing layer and may contain bi& or triple layers to sustain the drug release. The pharmacokinetic advantage relies on the fact that drug release from immediate release layer leads to a sudden rise in the blood concentration. However, the blood level is maintained at steady state as the drug is released from the sustained release layer. INTRODUCTION

Metformin Summary: Metformin is a biguanide anti hyperglycemic used in conjunction with diet and exercise for glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is also used off-label for insulin resistance in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Brand Names: Actoplus Met, Avandamet, Fortamet, Glucophage, Glucovance, Glumetza, Glycon, Invokamet, Janumet, Jentadueto, Kazano, Kombiglyze, Komboglyze, Qternmet, Riomet, Segluromet, Synjardy, Trijardy, Velmetia, Xigduo Generic Name: Metformin Structure: BCS classification : class III Weight: Average: 129.1636 Chemical Formula: C4H11N5 DRUG PROFILE
Synonyms : Dimethyl biguanid Metformin combination products : DPP-4 inhibitors (sitagliptin,vildagliptin, linagliptin, alogliptin, or saxagliptin), combination with SGLT2 inhibitors (canagliflozin, empagliflozin, ertugliflozin, or dapagliflozin) or in combination with pioglitazone. Half-life : The plasma elimination half-life of metformin is 6.2 hours in the plasma. The elimination half-life in the blood is approximately 17.6 hours Clearance : Renal clearance is about 3.5 times greater than creatinine clearance, which indicates that tubular secretion is the major route of metformin elimination. Following oral administration, approximately 90% of the absorbed drug is eliminated via the renal route within the first 24 hours DOSE: 500mg – 1000mg
VILDAGLIPTIN Summary: Vildagliptin is a once-daily dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitor used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus . Brand Names : Galvus, Jalra, Xiliarx Weight Average : 303.3993 Structure: Chemical Formula: C 17 H 25 N 3 O 2 Half-life: The mean elimination half-life following intravenous administration is approximately two hours. The elimination half-life after oral administration is approximately three hours. Clearance: After intravenous administration to healthy subjects, the total plasma and renal clearance vildagliptin were 41 and 13 L/h, respectively Dosage : 50mg or 100 mg
