ABSTRACT:
The present study focuses on the design and optimization of extended-release (ER) mini-tablets of Metoprolol Succinate using Okra stalk powder as a natural release modifier and HPMC K100 M as a synthetic matrix polymer. A 3² factorial design was applied to evaluate the impact of two independent variables—concentration of Okra stalk powder (X₁) and HPMC K100 M (X₂)—on two response parameters: percentage drug release at 1 hour (Y₁) and at 12 hours (Y₂). Nine formulations (F1–F9) were prepared by direct compression and evaluated for pre-compression and post-compression characteristics. Results confirmed acceptable flowability, uniformity, hardness, and friability. The optimized batch (F6) demonstrated sustained release and acceptable physical parameters. This study concludes that Okra stalk powder is a viable natural polymer for sustained-release matrix formulations, especially in mini-tablet systems.
