In pharmaceutical research, new dosage forms that modify drug release are useful for circadian rhythm related diseases. The aim of this investigation is to examine the release behavior of multiple-unit modified-release formulations (‘tablets in capsule’) of theophylline. Mono-layered and three-layered minitablets, filled into capsules, were prepared using theophylline and dextran or pectin, as excipients.

Abstract In the current study, we investigated the metoprolol absorption kinetics of an in-house produced oral sustained-release formulation, matrices manufactured via prilling, and two commercially available formulations, ZOK-ZID® (reservoir) and Slow-Lopresor® (matrix) in both New Zealand White rabbits and Beagle dogs, using a population pharmacokinetic analysis approach. The aim of this study was to compare the in vivo pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of different formulations based on...
