OSMOTIC DRUG DELIVERY
SYSTEM
Introduction
1. Osmotic drug delivery uses the osmotic pressure for
controlled delivery of drugs by using osmogens.
2. Osmosis : It refers to the process of movement of solvent
from lower concentration of solute towards higher
concentration of solute across the semipermeable
membrane.
3. Osmotic pressure: The pressure exerted by the flow of
water through a semipermeable membrane separating
two solutions with different concentrations of solute.
4. These systems can be used for both route of
administration i.e. oral and parenterals.
Principle of osmosis
 Abbe Nollet first reported osmotic effect in 1748, but Pfeffer
in 1877 had been the pioneer of quantitative measurement
of osmotic effect. Van’t Hoff established the analogy
between the Pfeffer results and the ideal gas laws by the
expression,
π = n2RT
Where,
n2 = represents the molar concentration of sugar (or other
solute) in the solution,
R = depict the gas constant,
T = temperature.

Delivery Orifice
 For the drug delivery system containing a solution
formulation, the intrinsic rate of drug release is defined
by,
Q = Pw Am ( πs – πe )
t hm
 For the drug delivery system containing a solid
formulation, the intrinsic rate of drug release is defined
by,
Q Pw Am ( πs – πe ) Sd
t = hm
Where,
Q/t - rate of drug release
Pw - permiability of semipermiable housing
Am -effective S.A. of semipermiable housing
hm - thickness of semipermiable housing
(π s - π e) – Differential osmotic pressure b/w DDS with osmotic
pressure ps & environmental osmotic pressure pe
Sd – Aqueous solubility of drug contained in the
solid formulation.
Basic component of osmotic DDS
1. Drug : itself may act as osmogen otherwise osmogenic
salt can be added in formulation.
2. Semipermeable membrane: Sufficient wet strength and
water permeability Should be biocompatible and rigid
Should be sufficient thick to withstand the pressure
within the device Any polymer that is permeable to water
but impermeable to solute can be used as a coating
material in osmotic devices Ex. Cellulose Acetate,
Cellulose Triacetate and Ethyl Cellulose.
3. Hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymers :( CMC, HEC,
HPMC )
4. Wicking agent : ( SLS, PVP, bentonite )
5. Solubilizing agent :(PVP, CD, PEG )
6. Osmogens:( NACL, KCL)
7. Surfactants : (poly oxyethylenated caster oil)
8. Coating solvent : ( acetone and methanol 80:20,acetone
and water 90:10 )
9. Plasticizer : ( phthalates, benzoates, TEC )
10. Flux regulator : ( poly propylene, poly butylene )
11. Pore forming agent:( Calcium nitrate , potassium
sulphate)

Osmotic Agent
 sodium phosphate
 sodium chloride
Advantages
1. Zero order release
2. High release rate
3. High degree of IVIVC
4. Production scale up is easy
5. Increase efficacy of drug
6. Controlled drug delivery
7. Reduce dosing frequency
Disadvantages
1. Expensive
2. Chance of toxicity due to dose dumping
3. Release of drug depends on :
- size of drug port
- surface area
- thickness and composition of membrane
ENZYME - ACTIVATED DRUG
DELIVERY SYSTEM
Enzyme - Activated Drug Delivery System
(Classification By : Biochemical Means)
Activation-
Modulated
DDS
• This type of biochemical system depends on the enzymatic
process to activate the release of drug.
• Drug reservoir is either physically entrapped in microspheres
or chemically bound to polymer chains from biopolymers
(albumins or polypeptides).
• The release of drug is activated by enzymatic hydrolysis of
biopolymers (albumins or polypeptides) by specific enzyme
in target tissue.
 Ex. Albumin microspheres release 5-fluorouracil in a
controlled manner by protease – activated biodegradation.
