abstract

the formulation of hydrophobic drugs for oral drug delivery is challenging due to poor solubility, poor dissolution and poor wetting of these drugs. consequently, the aim of this study was to improve the dissolution of a model poorly water soluble drug, ibuprofen. microparticles containing ibuprofen were produced by spray drying and spray chilling technology in the absence/presence of a hydrophilic surfactant. poloxamer 127, tri-block copolymer, was chosen as the hydrophilic surfactant to improve drug particle wettability and hence the dissolution rate. the prepared formulations were evaluated for in vitro dissolution and intrinsic solubility. in addition, the produced drug particles were characterised by scanning electron microscopy (sem), differential scanning calorimeter (dsc) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir). sem revealed changes in the surface morphology of processed ibuprofen, suggesting the effective formation of the drug particles. dsc data showed shifting of the melting peak of the drug towards lower melting temperature in the prepared particles, indicating the possibility of drug /polymer interaction. the results of the dissolution studies of spray dried ibuprofen and spray dried ibuprofen/poloxamer 127 particles significantly (p

Preparation and characterization of microparticles of piroxicam by spray drying and spray chilling methods

Piroxicam, an anti-inflammatory drug, exhibits poor water solubility and flow properties, poor dissolution and poor wetting. Consequently, the aim of this study was to improve the dissolution of piroxicam. Microparticles containing piroxicam were produced by spray drying, using isopropyl alcohol and water in the ratio of 40:60 v/v as solvent system, and spray chilling technology by melting the ...

Effects of Spray-Drying, Freeze-Drying and Pasteurization on Microbiological Quality and IgG Level of Bovine Colostrum

Background: Nowadays, colostrum has been known as a considerable and valuable by-product of large-scale dairy production in the world. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of pasteurization, spray-drying and freeze-drying methods on bacterial loads and Immunoglobulin G (IgG) level of bovine colostrums. Methods: Colostrum samples were collected from the first milking pos...

Mechanistic Understanding of Spray Drying

Purpose Spray drying is a growing technology in the pharmaceutical industry with several enabling applications in modern drug delivery. Its understanding is still vastly empirical, mainly in what relates to the particle formation step. Consequently, the design spaces are typically defined through costly experiments and their statistical interpretation. The purpose of this study is to examine th...
