Solid Dispersion as a Technical Solution to Boost the Dissolution Rate and Bioavailability of Poorly Water-Soluble Drugs

Solubility Enhancement of Poorly Water Soluble Drugs by Solid Dispersion

Solid dispersions have been employed to enhance the dissolution rates of poorly water-soluble drugs. Many approaches have been investigated for the preparation of solid dispersions. This paper reports the various solubility enhancement strategies in solid dispersion. The approaches described are fusion (melting), solvent evaporation, lyophilization (freeze drying), melt agglomeration process, e...

Studies on dissolution enhancement of prednisolone, a poorly water-soluble drug by solid dispersion technique.

INTRODUCTION Prednisolone is a class II substance according to the Biopharmaceutics Classification System. It is a poorly water soluble agent. The aim of the present study was to improve dissolution rate of a poorly water-soluble drug, prednisolone, by a solid dispersion technique. METHODS Solid dispersion of prednisolone was prepared with PEG 6000 or different carbohydrates such as lactose a...

Solid Dispersions: An Overview To Modify Bioavailability Of Poorly Water Soluble Drugs

Enhancement of Solubility and Dissolution Rate of Poorly Water Soluble Drug using Cosolvency and Solid Dispersion Techniques

The low aqueous solubility of celecoxib (CB) and thus its low bioavailability is a problem. Thus, it is suggested to improve the solubility using cosolvency and solid dispersions techniques. Pure CB has solubility of 6.26±0.23μg/ml in water but increased solubility of CB was observed with increasing concentration of cosolvents like PEG 400, ethanol and propylene glycol. Highest solubility (791....

Improvement of Dissolution Characteristics and Bioavailability of Tadalafil by Solid Dispersion Technique Using Water-soluble Polymers

The enhancement of oral bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs remains one of the most challenging aspects of drug development. Tadalafil a BCS class II drug is an impotence agent. It is indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction and is a selective inhibitor of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-specific phosphodiesterase type-5 (PDE-5).However, insolubility and poor dissolut...
