ABSTRACT: The aim of the present study was to formulate and optimize Framycetin sulfate
in situ gels for the used for treatment of ocular eye infection .it was formulated as ocular in
situ gel forming eye drop are using polymers such as carbopol 940 as a gelling agent in
combination of suitable preservatives. It is a newer approach to improve easy to eye
instillation residence time and enhance bioavailability, prolonged and sustained drug release.
in-situ gel formulation using a suitable phase transition polymer to effectively deliver the
drug into eyes with sustained and prolonged release and enhanced drug bioavailability. It is
observed from the formulation F3 which shown drug content 96.16 % and have good gelling
capacity. Thus, it can be concluded that the drug given in the form of ocular in situ gel of
Framycetin sulfate providing better patient compliance and an effective mode of treatment.
Keywords: Framycetin sulfate, carbol 940, in situ gel, ophthalmic gel, sustained drug release.
INTRODUCTION
Ocular drug delivery is an extremely important topic, especially with the recent development
of new drugs for the treatment of different eye diseases. An ideal drug therapy achieves
effective concentration of drug at the target for a specified period of time in order to
minimize general and local side effects. Eye is most interesting organ due to its drug
disposition characteristics. Generally, topical application of drugs is the method of choice
under most circumstances because of its convenience and safety for ophthalmic
chemotherapy. Since past few decades, there has been plenty of research reports exhibiting
potential of controlled and sustained drug delivery systems. Moreover, various approaches
that have been attempted to increase the bioavailability and the duration of the therapeutic
