Extensions of BCS beyond the oral IR area has also been suggested, for example to apply BCS in the extended-release area. However, this will provide a major challenge since the release from different formulations will interact in different ways with in vitro test conditions and the physiological milieu in the gastrointestinal tract. For example, the plasma concentration-time profile differed for two felodipine ER tablets for which very similar in vitro profiles had been obtained, despite the fact that both tablets were of the hydrophilic matrix type based on cellulose derivates [70], This misleading result in vitro was due to interactions between the gel strength of the matrix and components in the dissolution test medium of no in vivo relevance. The situation for ER formulations would be further complicated by the need to predict potential food effects on the drug release in vivo. 

Nowadays, the sieving matrices most employed in CSE are polymer solutions that under suitable conditions may form a transient mesh or sieving matrix that provide the size-based separation of charged biopolymers. The polymer solutions can be formulated with linear acrylamide and N-substituted acrylamide polymers, cellulose derivatives, polyethylene oxide, and its copolymers or with a variety of polymers, such as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), polyethylene oxide (PEO), and hydroxypropyl cellulose(HPC), which do not necessitate the preventive coating of the capillary wall due to their ability to dynamically coat the inner surface of the capillary, resulting in suppressed EOE and sample interactions with the capillary wall. 

Abstract Pressure-sensitive paint (PSP) is applied to the areodynamics measurement. PSP is optical sensor based on the luminescence of dye probe molecules quenching by oxygen gas. Many PSPs are composed of probe dye molecules, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pyrene, pyrene derivative etc.), transition metal complexes (ruthenium(II), osumium(II), iridium(III) etc.), and metalloporphyrins (platinum (II), palladium(II), etc.) immobilized in oxygen permeable polymer (silicone, polystyrene, fluorinated polymer, cellulose derivative, etc.) film. Dye probe molecules adsorbed layer based PSPs such as pyrene derivative and porphyrins directly adsorbed onto anodic oxidised aluminium plat substrate also developed. In this section the properties of various oxygen permeable polymer for matrix and various dye probes for PSP are described. 

Many PSPs are composed of probe dyes, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g., pyrene) and coordination compounds (e.g., platinum por-phryins and ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complexes) immobilized in various gas permeable polymer films such as silicon polymer, organic glassy polymers (e.g., poly(methylmethacrylate), polystyrene), fluorinated polymers, or cellulose derivatives such as ethyl cellulose [9,10]. As probe molecules interact with polymer matrices directly, the properties of PSPs strongly depend on the properties of polymer matrices. The oxygen permeability of polymer matrix is an especially important factor for highly sensitive PSP. 

One recent trend has been away from using a photochromic dye itself merely as an individual component of a solution, polymer film or bulk polymer matrix. Instead, the photochromic is chemically linked to a polymer, which may be a natural polymer such as a cellulose derivative, an enzyme, a protein, or synthetic polymers from acrylates, urethanes, and vinyl compounds. The properties of the polymer can then be modified by external irradiation, and conversely, the properties of the photochromic are modified by the polymer. A recent biochemical example is the photocontrolled binding of monosaccharides to concanavalin A (Con A) modified with spiropyran units.208... 

Acyclovir is a potent inhibitory of viruses of the herpes group, particularly herpes simplex virus (HSV I and II) and herpes zoster varicella virus. Unfortunately, acyclovir has a short half-life (2-3 h), and the oral dosage form must be taken five times daily, which is very inconvenient for patients [75,76], Consequently, the aim of this study was to develop a controlled-release formulation of acyclovir that could be taken twice daily. The materials used to prepare the tablets were acyclovir (Kern Pharma, Tarrasa, Barcelona) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (Methocel K4M) (Colorcon) a hydrophilic cellulose derivative as the matrix-forming material. 

Solid formulations for sustained drug release may contain mesogenic polymers as excipients. The mesogenic polymers form a matrix, which is usually compressed into tablets. Some of the most frequently used excipients for sustained release matrices include cellulose derivatives, which behave like lyotropic liquid crystals when they are gradually dissolved in aqueous media. Cellulose derivatives such as hydroxy-propyl cellulose or hydroxy-propylmethyl cellulose form gel-like lyotropic mesophases in contact with water, through which diffusion takes place relatively slowly. Increasing dilution of the mesophase with water transforms the mesophase to a highly viscous slime and then to a colloidal polymer solution. 

Guar gum is a galactomannan, commonly used in cosmetics, food products, and pharmaceutical formulations. It has also been investigated in the preparation of sustained-release matrix tablets in the place of cellulose derivatives such as methylcellu-lose. ... 

As the main component, it provides the actual matrix to which lipophilic or water-insoluble substances such as stearic acid and stearyl alcohol [475-476], cellulose derivatives [476], starch [475] or calcium hydrogen phosphate [474] are added.

The NMR imaging method is also applied on monitoring transport processes for drug release. Cellulose derivates are often used as polymer matrix in pharmaceutics. The concentration profile of polymer across a swollen tablet is measured with NMR imaging as a function of swelling time (Baumgartner et al. 2005). The...
