BRIEF RESUME OF INTENDED WORK:-system
NEED FOR THE STUDY:-
AZT is an antiretroviral drug, specifically a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor. It is used to treat HIV, a retrovirus. Retroviruses use the genetic material in the body’s cells to produce more virus which can infect other cells.
Zidovudine was the first drug approved for the treatment of AIDS and HIV infection. Jerome Horwitz of Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute and Wayne State University School of Medicine first synthesized AZT in 1964, under a US National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant. It was originally intended to treat cancer, but failed to show efficacy and had an unacceptably high side effect profile. The drug then faded from view until February 1985, when Samuel Broder, Hiroaki Mitsuya, and Robert Yarchoan, three scientists in the National Cancer Institute (NCI), collaborating with Janet Rideout and several other scientists at Burroughs Wellcome (now GlaxoSmithKline), started working on it as an AIDS drug. After showing that this drug was an effective agent against HIV in vitro, the team conducted the initial clinical trial that provided evidence that it could increase CD4 counts in AIDS patients.
AZT does not destroy the HIV infection, but only delays the progression of the disease and the replication of virus, even at very high doses. During prolonged AZT treatment HIV has the ability to gain an increased resistance to AZT by mutation of the reverse transcriptase. A study showed that AZT could not impede the resumption of virus production, and eventually cells treated with AZT produced viruses as much as the untreated cells. So as to slow the development of resistance, it is generally recommended that AZT be given in combination with another reverse transcriptase inhibitor and an antiretroviral from another group, such as a protease inhibitor or a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor.
Like other reverse transcriptase inhibitors, AZT works by inhibiting the action of reverse transcriptase, the enzyme that HIV uses to make a DNA copy of its RNA. The viral double-stranded DNA is subsequently spliced into the DNA of a target cell, where it is called a provirus.[8][9][10]
The azido group increases the lipophilic nature of AZT, allowing it to cross cell membranes easily by diffusion and thereby also to cross the blood-brain barrier. Cellular enzymes convert AZT into the effective 5'-triphosphate form. Studies have shown that the termination of the formed DNA chains is the specific
factor in the inhibitory effect.
The triphosphate form also has some ability to inhibit cellular DNA polymerase, which is used by normal cells as part of cell division.[11][12][13] However, AZT has a 100- to 300-fold greater affinity for the HIV reverse transcriptase, as compared to the human DNA polymerase, accounting for its selective antiviral activity.[14] A special kind of cellular DNA polymerase that replicates the DNA in mitochondria is relatively more sensitive to inhibition by AZT, and this accounts for certain toxicities such as damage to cardiac and other muscles (also called myositis)
AZT interferes with the life cycle of HIV to stop it from producing more virus. Specifically, AZT ties up the reverse transcriptase enzyme so it cannot build the genetic material needed to make more virus and infect more cells.
It is extremely important that you take AZT and your other
antiretroviral medications exactly as directed. You should set up a system that
will help you remember to take your medicines so that you do not miss any
doses. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible; however, if you skip a
dose, do not take two doses at once. Do not stop taking the medication for
anyssss reason at any time unless you are directed to do so by your study
clinician. If you are unable to continue taking your medication due to side
effects, you should contact your study clinician immediately.From the last few
decades, a great deal of research work has been devoted to the
development of site specific drug delivery systems which offer several
benefits over the traditional drug therapies. The principal goal of the site
specific delivery is to delivery the drug in the specific organ of body. The
therapeutic advantages of targeting the drug to the diseased organ include
reduced incidence of adverse side effects, lower conventional dose and
delivery of drug as close as possible to the target site.1

REVIEW OF LITERATURE:-
T. Shibashi et al developed a system was designed by imparting a timed-release
function and a pH-sensing function to a hard gelatin capsule for colon-targeted
delivery of drugs. The technical characteristics of the system are to contain an
organic acid together with an active ingredient in a capsule coated with a three-
layered film consisting of an acid-soluble polymer, a water-soluble polymer, and
an enteric polymer. As a result, it was found that: (1) various organic acids can
be used for this system; (2) a predictable timed-release mechanism of a drug can
be attained by adjusting the thickness of the Eudragit layer; and (3) the outer
enteric coating with HPMC provided acceptable acid-resistibility. All these
results suggested that this approach can provide a useful and practical means for
colon-targeted delivery of drugs4.
A. Sindhu et al developed Modified Pulsincap dosage of Metronidazole to target
drug release in the colon. Bodies of hard gelatin capsules were made insoluble
by treating it with formaldehyde and keeping the caps as such. Drug pellets
prepared by extrusion-spheronization method incorporated into the specialized
capsule shells and plugged with polymers guar gum,
hydroxypropylmethylcellulose 10K, carboxymethylcellulose sodium and
sodium alginate with different concentration. The filled capsule were coated
with 5% cellulose acetate phthalate to prevent variable gastric emptying. The
capsule was assessed by in vitro drug release studies in different buffer pH. The
results indicated that significant drug release occurred only after 5 h from the
start of experiment. Thus, Metronidazole could be successfully colon targeted
by the use of the modified Pulsincap, thereby reducing systemic side effects5.
Y.S.R. Krishnaiah et al developed colon targeted drug delivery system for
Albendazole using guar gum as a carrier. Matrix tablets containing various
proportions of guar gum were prepared by wet granulation technique using
starch paste as a binder. Evaluation &In vitro drug release studies were
conducted. The amount of Albendazole released from the marix tablets at
different time intervals was estimated by HPLC method. The dissolution studies
were also done. The result of the study show that matrix tablets containing either
10% or 20% of guar gum are most likely to provide targeting of Albendazole
showed no change either in physical appearance, drug content or in dissolution
pattern after storage at 40/75 %RH for 6month. Differential scanning
calorimetry indicated no possibility of interaction between Albendazole and
guar gum6.
Y.S.R. Krishnaiah et al developed for site-specific delivery of 5-fluorouracil
to the colon without the drug being released in the stomach or small intestine
using guar gum as a carrier. Fast-disintegrating 5-fluorouracil core tablets were
compression coated with 60%, 70% and 80% of guar gum, and were subjected
to in vitro drug release studies. The results showed that compression-coated
tablets containing 80% of guar gum are most likely to provide targeting of 5-
fluorouracil for local action in the colon, since they released only 2.38% of the
drug in the physiological environment of the stomach and small intestine7.
S.K. Lanjhiyana et al developed a Time dependent Site specific delivery of
Piroxicam into colon which is used in inflammatory bowel diseases. Dissolution
studies demonstrate that polymeric coated capsule were gastro-resistant for an
average time of 5 to 6 h post dose was found to be dependent on the polymeric
coating layers of HPMC and Eudragit l-100 and on the concentration of guar
gum, which is highly susceptible to colonic microfloras. The capsules having
optimized 30% of guar gum and polymeric coating ratios with and without 4%
rat caecal in PBS pH 7.4 suggest the susceptibility of polymers to the colonic
microfloras. No change in physical appearance, content uniformity and in
stability studies. Thus, Piroxicam could be successfully colon targeted by the
use of the modified Pulsincap8.
V.S. Mastiholimath et al developed an oral colon specific Pulsatile device to
achieve Site specific release of Theophylline. Here the insoluble hard gelatin
capsule body, filled with Eudragit microcapsule of Theophylline and sealed with
a hydrogel plug. The entire device was enteric coated, so that the variability in
gastric emptying time can be overcome and a colon-specific release can be
achieved. The Theophylline microcapsule and varying polymer ratio evaluated
for the particle size, drug content and in vitro release profile and from the
obtained result; one better formulation was selected for further fabrication of
pulsatile capsule. Different Hydrogel polymer were used as plug, to maintain
suitable lag period and it was found that the drug release was controlled by the
proportion of polymers used. Then the gamma scintigraphic study done for the
release of the drug in lower parts of GIT. The results gives the successful
chronotherapeutic drug delivery9.
A. Sindhu et al developed a Time dependent Modified Pulsincap that would
ensure chronotherapeutic delivery of Diclofenac sodium in the colon for the
rheumatoid arthritis. Bodies of hard gelatin capsule made insoluble and drug
pellets equivalent to 100mg were filled into the treated capsule shells, plugged
with hydrogel polymers HPMC, HPC and Sodium Alginate at different
concentration and enteric coated with 5% cellulose acetate phthalate. The
formulation were assayed to determine the drug content, invitro drug release
studies and the accelerated stability studies carried out for three months as per
ICH guidelines proved that the formulations were stable and thus Diclofenac
Sodium could be successfully given for colon targeted by modified pulsincap
capsule10.
Y.S.R. Krishnaiah et al developed in vivo performance of guar gum-based
colon-targeted tablets of Ornidazole in comparison with an immediate release
tablet of Ornidazole in six healthy human volunteers was investigated for which
a cross over design was followed. The immediate release tablets of Ornidazole
produced peak plasma concentration (Cmax of 2171.33+/-278.15 ng/ml) at
2.91+/-0.14 h (Tmax) whereas colon-targeted tablets produced peak plasma
concentration (Cmax of 1716.66+/-125.83 ng/ml) at 11.91+/-0.14 h. The
delayed Tmax, decreased Cmax, and decreased ka of Ornidazole from guar
gum-based colon-targeted Ornidazole tablets, in comparison with the immediate
tablets, indicated that the drug was not released in stomach and small intestine,
but targeted to colon. Slow absorption of Ornidazole from the less absorptive
colon might result in the availability of drug for local action in the colon11.
N.E. Stevens Howard et al developed evaluation of Dofetilide Pulsincap
delivery to the human GI tract. In these studies the effects of the degree of
dispersion versus the site of dispersion could not be ascertained; nevertheless the
scitigraphic analysis demonstrated good in vitro-in vivo correlation for time of
release from Pulsincap preparation. In scinti graphic analysis, the time of gastric
emptying, arrival at the ileocaecal junction and entry into colon were recorded.
The time of capsule opening, as determined by spreading of radiolabel in the GI
tract content, was determined by examination of the scintiscans.
Pharmacokinetic parameter values and elimination T1/2 from the solution dose
of Dofetilide were determined by using software WinNonlin Version 312.
A. Mohamad et al developed a rupturable, capsule-based Pulsatile drug
delivery system with pH-independent properties prepared using aqueous
coating. The drug release is induced by rupturing of top-coating, resulting by
expanding of swellable layer upon water penetration through the top-coating.
Here we determine drug release and lag time,sewlling volume, swelling energy,
mechanical properties of polymer films. The above experiment gives successful
result13.
6.3OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY:-
