Abstract

Tiaprofenic acid (TA), has analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic
properties; it is an inhibitor of prostaglandin synthetase. The usual oral dose by
mouth is 600 mg daily; this may be given in 2 or 3 divided doses or once daily as a sustained-release preparation. TA is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. It has a short half-life of about 2 hours.
Sodium alginate is a natural, biodegradable and biocornpatible polymer used
as suspending and gelling agent in pharmaceutical technology. Recently, the alginate gel beads has received much attention in sustained-release preparation.
The aim of the present study was to formulate sustained-release TA beads
based on sodium alginate in order to reduce daily dose and to minimize gastrointestinal disturbance caused by the drug.
Key words: Tiaprofenic acid, sustained-release beads, sodium alginate.
