Design and Characterization of Mangiferin Sustained-Release Tablets

Background: Mangiferin is a natural bioactive compound used for various pharmacological activities like antidiabetic, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory. Objective: The development of unique sustained-release matrix tablets of mangiferin is the purpose of the work that is being presented here. Method: In this study, an effort is made to formulate mangiferin sustained-release matrix tablets by combining the sustained-release polymers HPMC K100M, Kollidone@SR, Keltone LVCR. Mangiferin matrix tablets have been synthesized by wet granulation utilizing the lactose works as the diluent. Systems were developed with different polymer percentages. Results: Refine the design based on observed differences in weight, hardness, thickness, percent friability, percent drug content, and in-vitro drug release. In-vitro release trials conducted by utilizing a USP type II device utilizing a 6.8 pH phosphate buffer as the separation medium revealed that the most successful F2 formulation, which included 20% polymer, was capable of supporting the mangiferin release for a time of 12 hours period. This sample showed the greatest coefficient (R) value in the Hixson-Crowell model, and release kinetics studies showed that this sample exhibited an erosion process and followed zero-order kinetics. Conclusion: We can conclude that Kollidone@Sr can be used to prepare sustained-release mangiferin.
