Investigating the Influence of pH on Drug Release from Zidovudine Matrices Containing Different Grades of Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose | Chapter 02 | Challenges and Advances in Chemical Science Vol. 6

 Using a variety of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose grades, the current study analyses the effect of a multimodal dissolving profile on the drug release of zidovudine-containing sustained-release hydrophilic matrices. Zidovudine is commonly used to treat AIDS, either alone or in combination with other antiviral medications. It was the first anti-HIV treatment to earn FDA approval for clinical usage. Matrixes were constructed using a combination of multiple grades of HPMC, including HPMCK4M and HPMCK15M, to maintain the medication's release. In order to imitate the in-vivo condition, in-vitro multimodal dissolution investigations were conducted. The drug's exposure from the stomach to the intestine/colon determines the pH/buffer. pH fluctuations have an effect on drug breakdown and release for absorption, according to the study. Matrices also allow for a very controlled delivery of the medication zidovudine over a long period of time.
