INTRODUCTION
Pulsatile drug delivery systems (PDDS) are gaining importance as they deliver a drug at time and site specific manner resulting in improved therapeutic efficacy as well as compliance. Chronopharmacotherapy designed according to the circadian rhythm of the body Ecofriendly Intelligent drug delivery systemcapable of adjusting drug release rates in response to a physiological need.

NECESSITY OF PULSATILE DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEMS

Follow circadian rhythm,


Protection from gastric environment, To achieve localized action, First-pass metabolism can be overcome.

DISEASES THAT REQUIRE PULSATILE DRUG DELIVERY


Disease Peptic ulcer Attention deficit syndrome Cardiovascular diseases Chronological behavior Acid secretion is high in the afternoon and at night. Increase in DOPA level in afternoon Drugs used H2blockers Methylphenidate

BP is at its lowest during the Nitroglycerin, calcium sleep cycle and rises steeply channel, during the early morning blocker, ACE inhibitors Precipitation of attacks during night or at early morning. Level of pain increases at night Increase in the blood sugar level after meal Cholesterol synthesis is generally higher during night than day time. 2 agonist, Antihistamines

Asthma

Arthritis Diabetes mellitus Hypercholesterolemia

NSAIDs, Glucocorticoids Sulfonylurea, Insulin HMG CoA reductase, Inhibitors

METHODOLOGIES
I. Time controlled pulsatile release II. Internal Stimuli induced A. Thermo-Responsive Pulsatile release B. Chemical stimuli induced pulsatile systems III. External stimuli induced IV. Multiparticulate pulsatile drug delivery system V.Pulsatile release systems for vaccine and hormone products

I) TIME CONTROLLED PULSATILE RELEASE


Delivery system provided with erodible coating layers Delivery system provided with ruputable coating layer Capsule shaped system provided with release controlling plug

These can be formulated as Tablets, Capsules, Pellets, Spheres, Beads, Films, Hydrogels

II) INTERNAL STIMULI INDUCED PULSATILE RELEASE SYSTEM Temperatureinduced pulsatile release Inflammation-induced Pulsatile Release pH Sensitive Drug Delivery System Glucose-responsive Insulin Release Devices

III) EXTERNALLY REGULATED PULSATILE RELEASE Magnetic induces release Ultrasound induces release Electric field induces release Light induces release

IV) MULTIPARTICULATE PULSATILE DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM


Reservoir systems with rupturable polymeric Coatings Reservoir systems with soluble or eroding polymer coatings Floating multiparticulate pulsatile systems V) PDDS FOR VACCINE AND HORMONE PRODUCTS PDDS offer the possibility of single-shot vaccines if initial booster release of the antigen can be achieved from one system in which timing of booster release is controlled.

ADVANTAGES

Extended daytime or nighttime activity Reduced dose size, dosage frequency Drug targeting to specific site. Drug loss is prevented by extensive first pass metabolism . Predictable, reproducible and short gastric residence time Less inter- and intra-subject variability Improved bioavailability, stability, patient comfort and compliance Reduced adverse effects and improved tolerability Limited risk of local irritation No risk of dose dumping Flexibility in design Achieve a unique release pattern Extend patent protection, globalize product, and overcome competition

LIMITATIONS
Lack of manufacturing reproducibility and efficacy Large number of process variables Multiple formulation steps Higher cost of production Need of advanced technology Trained/skilled personal needed for manufacturing

COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS
Pulsys - amoxicillin - Advancis Pharm Corp Uniphyl theophylline - Purdue Pharm Pdts L Ritalin methylphenidate Novartis CODAS - Verapamil HCl TIMERx - Oxymorphone PulsincapTM - Dofetilide

CONCLUSION
There is a constant need for new delivery systems that can provide increased therapeutic benefits to the patients. Pulsatile drug delivery is one such system that, by delivering drug at the right time, right place, and in right amounts, holds good promises of benefit to the patients suffering from chronic problems like arthritis, asthma, hypertension, etc. PDDS can effectively release drug according to body's circadian clock giving release of drug after a specified time lag. With increase in technological advancement and better design parameters hurdles can be overcome in the near future and more number of patients will be greatly benefited by these systems.
