5 However, the major problems encountered with the eye drops are rapid and extensive elimination, short pre-corneal residence time and poor ocular bioavailability Use various ophthalmic vehicles to increase ocular bioavailability and duration of drug action Introduction Therefore, needed frequent instillation of eye drops to achieve desired drug concentration and therapeutic effect (Sreeraj, Mitra & Hughes, 2003) i.e., viscous solutions and polymeric inserts

6 This can be achieved by in-situ gelation system 10
An ideal ophthalmic dosage form is one which can sustain the drug release and remain pre-corneal contact for an extended period of time This can be achieved by in-situ gelation system 10 10.

16 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
1. Formulation of Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride In-situ Gels Before formulation, preliminary formulation is important In identification, similar between finger print of IR spectrum for standard and sample of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride

17 Results and Discussion
1. Formulation of Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride In-situ Gels (Conts:) The compatibility test showed that all the excipients were compatible because there were no physical changes Ciprofloxacin is practically insoluble in water and so used hydrochloride salt form in this formulation Results and Discussion

18 Results and Discussion
Formulation of Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride In-situ Gels (Conts:) The hydrochloride salt form of ciprofloxacin is freely soluble in water at acidic pH below 5 The pH of solution of sodium alginate and hydroxylpropyl methylcellulose was 9.6 and so used lactic acid to reduce the pH of polymer solution

19 Results and Discussion
2. Evaluation of Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride In-situ Gels Not significantly different between the pH values of four formulations and within the acceptable pH range 4 to 8 Due to the presence of cellulose derivative, the appearance of the formulations was milky but free from particulate matter

20 Results and Discussion
2. Evaluation of Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride In-situ Gels (Conts) The smallest viscosity value of formulation F1 among the four formulations because of the lowest amount (0.5%) of sodium alginate The second smallest viscosity value was formulation F2 due to the second lowest amount (1%) of sodium alginate

21 Results and Discussion
2. Evaluation of Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride In-situ Gels (Conts) The largest viscosity value of formulation F3 because of the highest amount (1.5%) of sodium alginate Although F3 and F4 had the same amount (1.5%) of sodium alginate, smaller the viscosity value of F4 than F3 because F4 did not contain hydroxypropyl methylcellulose

22 Results and Discussion
2. Evaluation of Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride In-situ Gels (Conts:) Therefore, the viscosity was directly dependent on the concentration of polymer and the presence or absence of co-polymer The four formulations caused gelation due to the ionic cross-linking of the alginate chain by divalent cation, Ca2+ present in the simulated lacrimal fluid

23 Results and Discussion
2. Evaluation of Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride In-situ Gels (Conts:) But depending on the amount of sodium alginate, different the rate and extent of gelation The more sodium alginate present, the more gelation occurred Therefore, the gelling capacity was excellent in formulation F3 shown in figure 1

24 Results and Discussion
Figure 1. Gelling capacity of formulation F3 after placing of the formulation into simulated lacrimal fluid (SLF) (a) 0 minutes Gelling capacity (+) (b) 30 minutes (c) 60 minutes (d) 120 minutes (+ + +)

25 Results and Discussion
2. Evaluation of Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride In-situ Gels (Conts:) In vitro drug release studied indicated that the release pattern and duration were different in all formulations In formulation F1, time required to reach the peak drug concentration (62.85%) and duration of drug release of formulation F1 were the same as the market sample (1 hr)

26 Results and Discussion
2. Evaluation of Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride In-situ Gels (Conts:) In formulation F2, time required to reach the peak drug concentration (102.79%) and duration of drug release of formulation were longer than the formulation F1 and market sample In formulation F3 (Figure 2), time required to reach the peak drug concentration (66.57%) and duration of drug release of formulation were longest among others

27 Results and Discussion
2. Evaluation of Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride In-situ Gels (Conts:) In formulation F4, time required to reach the peak drug concentration (69.56%) and duration of drug release of formulation were longer than the formulation F1, F2 and market sample But it was shorter than the formulation F3 because the formulation F4 didn’t contain 0.5% of co-polymer which was present in F3 Results and Discussion

28 Results and Discussion
2. Evaluation of Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride In-situ Gels (Conts:) Thus in vitro drug release study indicated that F3 had the nature of prolong duration of action Therefore, depending on the concentration of polymer and co-polymer present in the formulations, different in the viscosity, the gelling capacity, the extent and prolong of drug release Results and Discussion

29 Results and Discussion
Figure 2. Cumulative percent release of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride in-situ gel formulation F3

30 Results and Discussion
2. Evaluation of Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride In-situ Gels (Conts:) At the end of sterility test, because of no appearance of turbidity, all formulations passed sterility tests In vivo eye irritation test, there was no redness, swelling or watering of eyes after instillation of the formulations Therefore, all formulations contained non-irritant ingredients to the eye

31 Results and Discussion
2. Evaluation of Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride In-situ Gels (Conts:) According to standard zone size provided by CLSI, all formulations were sensitive on the test organisms Therefore, ciprofloxacin hydrochloride remained its antimicrobial efficacy after formulation and active against the selected strain of microorganisms Results and Discussion

32 Results and Discussion
2. Evaluation of Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride In-situ Gels (Conts:) After 3 months of stability testing, slightly different in the pH values of all formulations from the initial pH value But lied within acceptable pH range for the eyes The preparations were also clear, no color changes and no precipitation Results and Discussion

33 Results and Discussion
2. Evaluation of Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride In-situ Gels (Conts:) Decreased the viscosity of all formulations when compared with the initial value which may be because of temperature After 3 months at 40 ˚C ± 2 ˚C, 18 %, 4 %, 12 % and 29 % decreased in the assays of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride in all formulations

34 Results and Discussion
2. Evaluation of Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride In-situ Gels (Conts:) After 3 months at 30 ˚C ± 2 ˚C, 3 % and 6 % decreased in the assay of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride in formulation F1 and F4 but in formulation F2 and F3,1 % decreased After 3 months at 20 ˚C ± 2 ˚C, 1 % decreased in the assay of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride in formulation F2, F3 and F4 but in formulation F1, 2 % decreased Results and Discussion

35 Results and Discussion
2. Evaluation of Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride In-situ Gels (Conts:) Therefore, should not exceed the storage condition of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride in-situ gel at 30 ˚C ± 2 ˚C

36 CONCLUSION Well formulated ciprofloxacin hydrochloride as in-situ gel forming eye drops using sodium alginate and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose Therefore, can be used this polymer and co-polymer mixture as an in-situ gelling vehicle to enhance prolong contact time and ocular bioavailability

37 Conclusion The satisfactory results of pH, clarity, viscosity, gelling capacity, assay, sterility and eye irritation test indicated that all of the formulations were complied with the specifications mention in the pharmacopeia Therefore, the developed formulations had acceptable pharmaceutical qualities

38 Conclusion Besides, among the four formulations, formulation F3 was complied with the pharmaceutical parameters and more likely to be acceptable than the other formulations (F1, F2 and F4) It had the best pharmaceutical qualities while using the 1.5% of sodium alginate and 0.5% of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose because of more benefits of viscosity, gelling capacity and sustained drug release

39 Conclusion The formulations also had efficacy because of successful in inhibiting the growth of the micro-organisms for 24 hr when compared with the ciprofloxacin standard disc
