Abstract

Ondansetron HCl, a first-line antiemetic, undergoes extensive pre-systemic metabolism, limiting its oral bioavailability. Fast-dissolving oral films (FDOFs) provide an excellent platform to overcome this by enabling rapid drug release and bypassing hepatic first-pass effects [1, 2].


This study utilized a Quality by Design (QbD) approach to develop and optimize FDOFs of Ondansetron HCl for rapid drug delivery.


A 2³ full factorial design was employed, investigating the impact of polymer blend (HPMC 5 & 15 cPs), glycerine, and poloxamer 407 concentrations. FDOFs, prepared by solvent casting, were evaluated for physicochemical, mechanical, and performance attributes. The optimized film underwent stability testing (40°C/75% RH, 1 month).


Drug-excipient compatibility was confirmed by FTIR/DSC. The statistical model revealed that polymer concentration significantly prolonged dissolving time (p < 0.05) and tensile strength, while surfactant concentration enhanced drug release. The optimized formulation (F6) exhibited a dissolution time of 41 ± 1 sec and released 102.54 ± 0.18% of the drug within 6 minutes. It maintained its critical quality attributes under accelerated stability conditions.
The QbD-based approach successfully yielded a stable and efficacious Ondansetron HCl FDOF, presenting a promising patient-centric alternative for rapid emesis control.
