PG - 1959-1972 LID - 10.1080/03639045.2019.1689992 [doi] AB - Objective: The aim of this study was to optimize the formulation of alginate-gelatin (AL-GL) beads containing gliclazide (GLZ) employing design of experiments (DOE).Significance: DOE enabled identification of the interaction between the studied factors, deep understanding of GLZ release pattern and acceleration of the optimization process.Methods: A three-factor, three-level face centered design was employed. The effects of GLZ content (GLZ%, X(1)), polymer ratio (AL:GL ratio, X(2)), crosslinker concentration (glutaraldehyde, GA%, X(3)), and their interaction on incorporation efficiency (IE) and release rate were studied. The optimized formulation was prepared using numerical optimization and evaluated by DSC, FT-IR, SEM and release rate studies.Results: Increasing GA% (X(3)) decreased IE (Y(1)) with the highest magnitude of effect among the studied factors. On the other hand, increasing alginate content in AL:GL ratio (X(2)) increased IE (Y(1)). The amount of GLZ released Q(0.5h), Q(2h)(pH 1.2) and Q(4h)(pH 7.4) decreased by increasing GLZ% (X(1)) and AL:GL ratio (X(2)). Both drug content and AL:GL ratio appeared to affect water penetration into the gel matrix and drug release. Generally, there was a direct relationship between GA% (X(3)) and GLZ release in pH 1.2 (Q(0.5h) and Q(2h)). However, in pH 7.4 (Q(4h)), increasing GA% decreased GLZ release. In addition, increasing GA% caused deviation from zero-order release model. The actual responses of the optimized formulation were in close agreement with the predicted ones.Conclusion: The selected factors and their levels studied in the optimization design were useful for tailoring the anticipated formulation characteristics and GLZ release pattern.
