ABSTRACT
In the present study pH sensitive hydrogel beads of prednisolone were prepared for intestine delivery system. The cross-linking reinforced chitosan- alginate complex beads were prepared by gelation of anionic sodium alginate, the primary polymer, with opposite charged counter ion to form beads which were further complexed with chitosan as a polyelectrolyte. The pH sensitive hydrogel beads were prepared by the unique ionotropic gelation method by applying 3³ full factorial designs. In this present study, influence of various formulation parameters like drug: chitosan ration (1:0.5, 1:1, and 1:2), drug: sodium alginate ratio (1:1, 1:2, 1:3) and concentration of calcium chloride (3%, 4%, 5%) were studied. According to factorial design, total 27 batches were prepared and evaluated. The compatibility of drug with polymer was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). All the formulation were subjected to percentage yield, drug entrapment efficiency, drug content, particle size, swelling study (In phosphate buffer pH 1.2 as well as in phosphate buffer pH 7.4), and in vitro drug release study. The data was found in the range of 72.00 ± 0.8 % to 92.00 ± 0.7 %,16.49 ± 0.2 % to 70.00 ± 0.2 %, 4.70 ± 0.4 to 13.30 ± 0.5,102.36 ± 2.27 to 138.48 ± 2.25 μm, , in phosphate buffer pH 7.4 between 109.00 ± 0.9 to 168.00 ± 0.4 and 106.60±0.6 to 136.00±0.3 in  phosphate buffer pH 1.2. From the results, B8 formulation was optimized. The prepared beads were enteric coated with 10% Eudragit S 100.  The surface morphology was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed spherical in shape with rough surface. It was reported that there was no swelling in acidic pH but increased in basic pH resulting in increased release of the drug in intestine. Hence it could be concluded that the prepared chitosan-sodium alginate hydrogel beads were satisfactory delivered to the stimulated intestinal fluid, which can be confirmed by further in vivo study.
