INTRODUCTION An ideal dosage regimen in the drug therapy of any disease is the one which immediately attains the desired therapeutic concentration of drug in plasma(or in the site of action) and maintains it constant for the entire duration of treatment. For many decades treatment of an acute disease or a cronic illness has been mostly accomplished by delivery of drugs to patients using various pharmaceutical dosages forms, including tablets,capsules,pills,suppositories,creams,ointment s,liquids,aerosols,and injectables,as drug carriers. Even today these conventional drug delivery systems are the pharmaceutical products commonly seen in the prescription and over-the-counter drug marketplace. This type of drug delivery system is known to provide a prompt release of drug.Therefore,to achieve as well as to maintain the drug concentration within the therapeutical effective range needed for treatment, it is often necessary to take this type of drug delivery system several times a day. This results in a significant fluctuation in drug levels.
Recently, several technical advancements which have resulted in the development of new techniques for drug delivery. These techniques are capable of controlling the rate of drug delivery, sustaining the duration of therapeutic activity, and/or targeting the delivery of drug to a tissue. Although these advancements have led to the development of several noval drug delivery systems that could revolutionaries the method of medication and provide a number of therapeutic benefits. The sustained release dosage form has been constantly used to describe a pharmaceutical dosage form formulated to retard the release of a therapeutic agent such that its appearance in the systemic circulation is delayed and or prolong and its plasma profile is sustained in duration. The onset of pharmacologic action is often delayed, and the duration of its therapeutic effect is sustained. In the controlled release drug delivery system the release of drug ingredients from a controlledrelease drug delivery system proceeds at a rate

profile that is not only predictable kinetically but also reproducible from one unit to another. Administered into the body. This gives high therapeutic efficacy with minimal toxicity. It gives better selectivity of pharmacological activity, and reduce patient compliance by reducing the dosing interval. Numerous attempts have been made to device clinically effective drug delivery systems. The controlled drug delivery system makes an agent to do its best when Various drug carrier systems have been developed including nanoparticles, liposomes, serum albumin microbeads, erythrocytes, microcapsules, microemultions, niosomes, multiple emulsions etc. The controlled drug delivery systems may be classified as Polymer controlled and Non-polymer controlled The polimer controlled systems include transdermal patches,microcapsules,ocusarts etc.whereas non polymer systems are comprised of iposomal drug delivery systems,in which the drug is encapsulated in phospholipids vesicles. Erythrocytes,which are impregnated with the drug using hypotonic saline solution and then to be administered perentrally. Liquid membrane systems like multiple emultions.
aqueous phases can behave like a membrane controlling solute release. Liquid membrane emulsions of the o/w/o type have been used to separate hydrocarbons where the aqueous phase serves as the membrane and a solvent as the external phase. The system w/o/w on the other hand can extract contaminents from waste water, which acts as the external phase. PREPARATION OF MULTIPLE EMULSIONS There are two main method,for the preparation of multiple emulsions. Two step method Phase inversion technique
EXPERIMENTAL PART MATERIALS AND METHODS CHEMICALS: The following chemicals were obtained commercially and were used without further purification. All chemicals used were of the purest grade available. A. FORMULATION USING DIFF.CONC.OF SPAN 80. Non-medicated emulsions were prepared by taking liquid paraffin as oil phase and water as aqueous phase using span 80 as emulsifier .For the preparation of multiple emulsions Tween 80 is used. The formulation is stabilized by taking different conc. of primary and secondary emulsifying agents. EVALUATION Prepared emulsion were taken in a measuring cylinder and placed in undisturbed position for 24 hr. and evaluated whether they craked or creamed and if they are cracked then the P-VALUE was determined. RESULT From the observation of P value it is found that the p value of the formulation F2 is low with respect to the other. So this formulation F2 is more stable. So the formulation F2, contain 10% v/v span 80 is selected for further study. EVALUATION
MULTIPLE EMULTIONS: Multiple emulsions are complex liquid description systems in which the droplets of the one dispersed liquid are further dispersed in another liquid. The inner dispersed globule/droplet in the multiple emulsions are separated from the outer liquid phase by a layer of another phase. There are mainly two types of multiple emulsions W/O/W AND O/W/O emulsions.Although,w/o/w emulsions have many of the attributes of w/o emulsions, their lower viscosity, derived from water as the external phase, makes them easier to inject.Adjuvent effects have been reported to be improved compared to w/o emulsions or aqueous solution of antigen. similar increase in the activity of the anticancer drug delivery using multiple emulsion have been observed. The most promising use of multiple emulsions is in the area of sustained release, drug formulation since the oil layer between the two

Prepared emulsion were taken in a measuring cylinder and placed in undisturbed position for 24 hr. and evaluated whether they craked or creamed and if they are cracked then the P-VALUE was determined. RESULT From the observation of P value it is found that the p value of the formulation F2 is low with respect to the other. So this formulation F2 is more stable. So the formulation F2b, contain 10% v/v span 80 and 0.3 % v/v tween 80 is selected for further study. Primary stirring speed was selected at 2000 rpm for 30 min. and secondary stirring speed was selected at600 rpm for 10 min. EVALUATION Prepared emulsion were taken in a measuring cylinder and placed in undisturbed position for 24 hr. and evaluated whether they craked or creamed and if they are cracked then the P-VALUE was determined. RESULT
and if they are cracked then the P-VALUE was determined. RESULT From the above table it is found that the formulation A5, A6, A10 and A14 shows moderate viscosity. But the formulation A14 is more stable as study from the p value. Also this formulation has very nice viscosity with good pourability. So the formulation F14 containing 0.5% w/v CMC is selected for further study.
CONCLUSION: So the w/o/w multiple emulsion containing 10% span80 and0.3% tween80 and 0.5% CMC is more stable at roomtemperature.
From the observation of P value it is found that the p value of the formulation D2 is low with respect to the other. So this formulation D2 is more stable. So the formulation D2, in which the oil, water ratio is 7:3 in primary emulsion and the primary emulsion, water ratio is 3:7 in secondary emulsion, is selected for further study. SELECTION OF STIRRING SPEED: The initial decrease in size may be due to complete dispersion of aggregates of the oil droplets. After the decrease to the minimum size the droplet size increased due to coalescence of the droplets. Here greatest decrease in droplet size was occurring in 400 rpm. So it is conclude that the coalescence of droplet is minimum in 400 rpm. So selected second stirring speed of the formulation is 400 rpm. EVALUATION Prepared emulsion were taken in a measuring cylinder and placed in undisturbed position for 24 hr. and evaluated whether they cracked or creamed
