Liquid-Crystal and Nano-Crystal Technology for Solubilization of Poorly Water Soluble Drugs
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Of all the pharmaceutical compounds, about 40% are considered poorly water soluble and hence, the development of efficacious formulation is being halted. It has been shown that a drug should have a minimum aqueous solubility of 1% to avoid bioavailability problems. During preformulation study, sufficient time should be invested in order to improve the solubility of these kinds of drug. At the very beginning when new compounds are screened for bioactivity, it becomes an obstacle for the study. Some technology exists for the enhancement of drug solubility but every technology has some degree of limitations. Hence, there is a need for smart approaches to make such poorly soluble drugs bioavailable. The purpose of this review is to discuss briefly the updates in the liquid crystal and nanocrystal technology for the solubilization of insoluble or poorly soluble drugs.

Nanosized Technological Approaches for the Delivery of Poorly Water Soluble Drugs
A major hurdle in pharmaceutical formulation is water insolubility of most of drugs affecting their stability and bioavailability. If the drug is also insoluble in organic medium, it is difficult to deliver it in a sufficiently bioavailable form and hence it is a great challenge to formulation researchers to overcome such difficulty. Although some approaches are available for enhancing th...

Liquisolid system is a novel concept of dosage formulation for water insoluble drugs and lipophilic drugs via oral route. Formulation concept of liquisolid technology involves water insoluble drugs dissolved in suitable non-volatile liquid vehicles, and converted in to compact by blending with selective powder excipients. Liquisolid compacts are compressible powdered forms of liquid medications...
متن کاملAttempts and outcomes of liquisolid technology: An updated chronological compilation of innovative ideas and adjuvants in the field
It has been observed that most of the chemical entities have high lipophilicity and poor aqueous solubility, which result in poor bioavailability. In order to improve the bioavailability, the release behavior of such drugs should be improved. Although there are numerous techniques to handle solubility related issue, but they are expensive due to involvement of complicated equipments, advanced m...
