Biopharmaceutical assessment of a polycomplex matrix system based on carbomer 940 and Eudragit® EPO for colon-specific drug delivery

  • Published:
Pharmaceutical Chemistry Journal Aims and scope

The biopharmaceutical properties of a new drug carrier based on an interpolyelectrolyte complex (IPEC) between Carbomer 940 and Eudragit® EPO have been studied in the form of a polycomplex matrix system (PMS) intended to be a potential carrier for peroral drug delivery systems. The release profiles of diclofenac sodium from the proposed PMS and Voltaren® retard in model gastroitestial tract medium belong to the intestine-soluble and sustained-release types, respectively. Evaluation of the pharmacokinetic parameters of the PMS revealed a close in vitro/in vivo correlation. The proposed PMS, in contrast to the parent drug, provides targeted drug delivery to the colon region and is comparable with Voltaren® retard with respect to the bioavailability and the main pharmacokinetic parameters.
