Cefuroxime Axetil (CA) is a poorly soluble, broad spectrum antibiotic which undergoes enzymatic degradation in gastrointestinal tract. The objective of the present study was to develop lipid-based gastro-retentive floating drug delivery systems containing CA using hot-melt extrusion (HME) to improve absorption. Selected formulations of CA and lipids were extruded using a twin screw hot-melt extruder. Milled extrudates were characterized for dissolution, floating strength, and micromeritic properties. Solid-state characterization was performed using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and hot-stage microscopy. In vitro characterization demonstrated that the formulations exhibited a sustained drug release profile for 12 h. All formulations showed desired floating and flow properties. Solid-state characterization revealed no phase separation and no chemical interactions between the drug and excipients. Based on in vitro study results, an optimized formulation (F8) was further evaluated for in vivo performance. Oral bioavailability (C(ma)(x )and AUC(0)(-)(24h)) of F8 was significantly higher than that of pure CA. This study describes the use of lipid-based gastro-retentive floating drug delivery systems to achieve desired sustained release profile for more complete dissolution which could potentially reduce enzymatic degradation. This study also highlights the effectiveness of HME technology to improve dissolution and bioavailability.
