Mechanism
 Changing mucus rheology
 Increasing the fluidity of lipid bilayer
membrane

drugs
14

1.Bile salts (Sodium glycocholate, sodium
taurocholate)
2.Fatty acids(oleic acid, capric acid, lauric
acid)
3.Surfactants
4.Chelators(EDTA, citric acid)
5.Others(aprotinin,
hyaluronidases,neuraminidase)
6.Thiolated polymers (chitosan-cysteine,
polycarbophil-cysteine)
15
1)Polymer related factors:
 Molecular weight: bioadhesive strength of a
polymer increases with molecular weights
above 100,000
 Flexibility: substantial degree of flexibility in
order to achieve the desired entanglement
with the mucus
 Hydrogen bonding capacity
 Cross-linking density: increasing density of
cross-linking, diffusion of water into the
polymer net-work occurs at a lower rate
which, causes an insufficient swelling of the
polymer and a decreased rate of
interpenetration between polymer and mucin
16
 Charge: Some generalizations about the
charge of bioadhesive polymers have been
made previously, where nonionic polymers
appear to undergo a smaller degree o f
adhesion compared to anionic polymers
 Concentration
 Hydration (swelling): Polymer swelling
permits a mechanical entanglement by
exposing the bioadhesive sites for hydrogen
bonding and/or electrostatic interaction
between the polymer and the mucous network
2)Environmental factors
 Saliva
 pH
 Mucin turnover Rate
17
 Buccal and Sublingual Tablets
 Buccal and Sublingual Patches and Films
 Buccal Semisolids (ointments and gels)
 Buccal Powders
18
 Fast-disintegrating sublingual tablets:
(Sublingual) there is a need to formulate
a dosage form which gives fast relief from
angina & headache, while at the same
minimising the first pass effect to improve
its bioavailability. Fast disintegration
sublingual tablet fullfil this criteria.
 Bioadhesive Sublingual tablets:a risk that the
patient will swallow part of the dose before
the active substance has been released
 Sublingual vitamin tablet
 Lipid matrix sublingual tablet19
 S-DBMP-T(slow dissolving buccal
mucoadhesive plain tablet)
 BCTS(buccal covered tablet system)
Dosage forms are soften and lose its shape
due to mouth movement, which hindered
control of the disintegration of the tablet over
long administration periods .
The improved technology involved covering the
S-DBMP-T system with a polyethylene film
that had a hole in it. We refer to this
technology as the buccal covered-tablet
system (BCTS ) and have demonstrated that
this technology can prolong the duration of
absorption of glyceryl trinitrate and isosorbide
dinitrate.
20
 Buccal tablets are small, flat, and
oval, with a diameter of approximately
5–8 mm.
 Tablets are usually prepared by direct
compression, but wet granulation
techniques can also be used

Thin film drug delivery is a process of
delivering drugs to the systemic
circulation via a thin film that dissolves
when in contact with liquid, often referred
to as a dissolving film or strip.
Thin film strips are typically designed for
oral administration, with the user placing
the strip on or under the tongue. As the
strip dissolves, the drug can enter the
blood stream enterically, or sublingually.

 Gels are usually clear, transparent,
semisolids containing solubilized active
substances . e.g.Methylcellulose,
carbopols, hydroxyethylcellulose etc
 Glibenclamide gel
Buccal bioadhesive powder dosage forms are
a mixture of bioadhesive polymers and the
drug and are sprayed onto the buccal
mucosa. eg hydroxypropylcellulose and
beclomethasone- diproprionate
36
 BUCCAL WAFERS novel periodontal drug
delivery system that is intended for the
treatment of microbial infections associated
with peridontitis. The delivery system is a
composite wafer with surface layers
possessing adhesive properties, while the bulk
layer consists of antimicrobial agents,
biodegradable polymers and matrix polymers.
37
 GEL FORMING LIQUIDS: This type of a
formulation is liquid upon instillation and
undergoes a phase transition to form a
viscoelastic gel in response to stimulus such as
temperature, ionic stength or pH. Carbomers
become more viscous upon increased pH.
Gellan gum and alginate both form gel in
response to increased ionic strength
(particularly with Ca+2 ions). Poloxamers and
smart hydrogel are gel at approximately body
temperature.
 BIOADHESIVE SPRAY: Buccoadhesive
sprays are gaining popularity over other
dosage forms because of flexibility, comfort,
high surface area availability of drug in
solution form. Drugs genrally given by these
routes are fentanyl, buprenorphine. Naloxone
etc.
38
 flushing action of saliva
 Taste, Irritancy and ‘mouth feel’ is an
issue.
 Allergic reactions, discoloration of teeth
 Antimicrobial agents, affects the natural
microbes
 Patient cannot eat/drink/speak
 Swallowing of saliva lead to the loss of
drug
