INTRODUCTION1,2
Oral routes of drug administration have wide
acceptance up to 50-60% of total dosage
forms. Solid dosage forms are popular
because of ease of administration, accurate
dosage, self -medication, pain avoidance and
most importantly the patient compliance.
The most popular solid dosage forms are
being tablets and capsules; one important
drawback of this dosage forms for some
patients, is the difficulty to swallow.
Drinking water plays an important role in
the swallowing of oral dosage forms. Often

times people experience inconvenience in
swallowing conventional dosage forms such
as tablet when water is not available, in the
case of the motion sickness (kinetosis) and
sudden episodes of coughing during the
common cold, allergic condition and
bronchitis.
For these reason, tablets that can rapidly
dissolve or disintegrate in the oral cavity
have attracted a great deal of attention. Fast
dissolving tablets are those when put on
tongue disintegrate instantaneously releasing
the drug which dissolve or disperses in the
saliva. The faster the drug into solution,
quicker the absorption and onset of clinical
effect. Some drugs are absorbed from the
mouth, pharynx and esophagus as the saliva
passes down into the stomach. In such cases,
bioavailability of drug is significantly
greater than those observed from
conventional tablets dosage form. According
to European pharmacopoeia, the FDT should
disperse/disintegrate in less than three
minutes.
The basic approach in development of FDT
is the use of super disintegrants like cross
linked carboxymethyl cellulose
(croscarmellose), sodium starch glycolate
(primogel, explotab), Kyron etc, which
provide instantaneous disintegration of
tablet after putting on tongue, their by
release the drug in saliva.
The bioavailability of some drugs may be
increased due to absorption of drug in oral
cavity and also due to pregastric absorption
of saliva containing dispersed drugs that
pass down into the stomach. Moreover, the
amount of drug that is subjected to first pass
metabolism is reduced as compared to
standard tablet.
Poorly water-soluble drugs are associated
with slow drug absorption leading
eventually to inadequate and variable
bioavailability. Flurbiprofen is a poorly
water soluble drug with a well known chiral
non-steroidal anti inflammatory agent
possessing analgesic and antipyretic activity.
It is one of the most potent inhibitors of
platelet aggregation, and it is used to treat
gout, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and
sunburn. However, it has poor water
bioavailability due to its poor water
solubility (10.45 ± 3.2μg/ml). Several

attempts have reported for enhancing the
solubility and bioavailability of flurbiprofen.
In the present study an attempt has been
made to increase the solubility of
flurbiprofen using and complexation
techniques. Complexation of drugs with
cyclodextrin has been used to enhance
aqueous solubility and drug stability.
Cyclodextrins are useful excipients, having
the ability to interact with poorly water-
soluble drugs and drug candidates, resulting
in an increase in their apparent water
solubility. These are cyclic and
oligosaccharides derived from starch
containing six (α CD), seven (β-CD), Eight
or more (α-1,4)-linked (CD-ߜ) nine ,(CD-ߛ)
α-D-glucopyranose units, the cyclodextrin
take the shape of a truncated cone or torus,
rather than a perfect cylinder.
The primary hydroxyl group is oriented to
the narrow edge of the cone at the exterior
and the secondary group to the wider edge.
The central cavity of the cyclodextrins
molecule is linked with skeletal carbons and
ethereal oxygens of the glucose residue,
which gives it a relatively lipophilic
character. This cavity enables cyclodextrins
to complex the ‘guest’ drug molecules and
in so doing alters the physicochemical
properties of the drug.
MATERIALS & METHODS Flurbiprofen was purchased from Yarrow
chem. Products, Mumbai, Cross carmeloose
sodium was obtained from, SSG was
obtained from, Kyron T-314 was purchased
from Corel pharma chem. All other reagents
and solvents were of analytical grade and
double distilled water was used throughout
the study.
Preparation of Inclusion Complex of
Flurbiprofen with β-cyclodextrin
clatherate(1:1)5
BCD (4.56 g, 3.42 mmoles) was dissolved in
water (75 ml) at 100°C. Flurbiprofen (0.84
g, 3.42 mmoles) was added and the resulting
solution was cooled to 1°C to give a white
precipitate which was isolated by filtration
and dried at 50°C in a convection oven. The
product, a white powder, was sieved through
a 100 μm screen to yield 4.24 g of
BCD/flurbiprofen clathrate.

Evaluation parameters of FDT of
flurbiprofen10,16
All the tablets prepared were evaluated for
content of active ingredients, hardness,
friability, and disintegration time and
dissolution rate as per official (IP) methods.
Hardness of tablets was tested using
Monsanto Hardness tester. Friability of the
tablets was determined in a Roche
friabilator. Disintegration time was
determined in a Dissolution test apparatus-
TDT-06T (Electrolab, Mumbai, India) using
water as test fluid.
RESULT AND DISCUSSION Determination of Maximum Wavelength3
100 mg of Flurbiprofen was weighed
accurately, dissolved in 20 ml of methanol
and finally the volume was made up to 100
ml by methanol to produce a stock solution
having a concentration of 1mg/ml. The
absorbance of the resulting solution was
measured using UV-Visible
spectrophotometer in the wavelength range
of 200-400 nm.

An aliquot of 10 ml of the stock solution
was diluted to 100 ml to prepare standard
solution having a concentration of100
mcg/ml by using phosphate buffer saline pH
6.4.
Preparation of Working Standard Solution
Working standard solution in concentration
ranging from 2 to 16 mcg/ml were prepared
by appropriately diluting the standard
solution with phosphate buffer saline pH
6.4. The absorbance of each working
standard solution was measured at 246.6 nm
using a Shimadzu UV spectrophotometer
using phosphate buffer saline pH 6.4 as a
blank. Data for each and every experiment
was obtained in triplicates and statistically
analyzed.

Compatibility Study of Drug and
Excipients3
FTIR technique has been used to here study
the physical and chemical interaction
between drug and excipients used.
Infrared spectra of Flurbiprofen and
formulation containing drug and all other
excipients are shown in figure 1 a and figure
1b respectively.
From the figure, it was observed that there
were no change in this mail peak in IR
spectra of formulation, which shows there
were no physical interactions because of
some bond formation between the drug and
polymer.
