To counteract early morning pathology like hypertension a time-dependent release of the drug is required. This study is focused to formulate a pulsatile and mucoadhesive drug delivery system of an ACE inhibitor Perindopril Erbumine. Two matrix tablets were punched with Eudragit RSPO, Eudragit RLPO, and HPMC K15M using a 3-3-3 Box-Behnken Design of Response Surface Methodology. Based on the design-optimized formulation P1T3 and P2T8 were coated for a lag time with compression coating of HPMC K4M and a blend of 1:1 ratio of ethylcellulose and carbopol polymer and further encapsulated in a Eudracap™ capsule to provide gastric resistance. The in-vitro release data confirmed an initial pause phase of 4.5 h then release of the drug for 5.2 ± 0.3 h to cope with the early morning rush in blood pressure. After that, a gap of 6 h and then sustained release of the drug for 10.5 ± 0.5 h. From the ex-vivo study, mucoadhesive strength was obtained as 55.13 ± 0.03 gm and 56.39 ± 0.02 gm for P1T3 and P2T8 respectively. The lag time for coated tablet P1T3 came to 2.15 ± 0.15 h and for P2T8 11.9 ± 0.10 h proving the coating efficiency of polymers. The current study strongly suggests that perindopril Erbumine in association with Eudragit and Hypromellose polymer can open a path for the time-regulated release of the drug for hypertension chronotherapy with less risk of dose dumping.
