General description

Itopride hydrochloride is a new prokinetic drug.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Itopride hydrochloride enhances the gastrointestinal motility by blocking the activity of dopamine on the D2 receptors, on the post-synaptic cholinergic nerves and by inducing the liberation of acetylcholine in the myenteric plexus. It also inhibits the hydrolysis of the released acetylcholine with the help of acetylcholinesterase.
Itopride is an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor and D2 dopamine receptor antagonist. Itopride is used as a gastroprokinetic agent.

The objectives of present studies were to develop the systematically optimized multiple-unit gastroretentive microballoons, i.e. hollow microspheres of itopride hydrochloride (ITH) employing quality by design (QbD)-based approach. Initially, the patient-centric QTPP and CQAs were earmarked, and preliminary studies were conducted
