Abstract: In the present work, floating microballoons of Acetohydroxamic acid using Eudragit RS 100, Eudragit S 100, HPMC K4M, Ethylcellulose as polymers were formulated to deliver Acetohydroxamic acid via oral route. The results of this investigation indicate that, solvent evaporation method can be successfully employed to formulate Acetohydroxamic acid microballoons. The in-vitro release studies demonstrated that microballoons of Acetohydroxamic acid prepared using Eudragit RS 100 along with Eudragit S 100 in 1:1 ratio (formulation F5) shown maximum amount of drug release, hence it is considered as the optimized formulation. The in vitro release kinetics revealed that the optimized formulation (AHF5) release the drug in zero order manner based on the regression values of kinetic models.
