In vivo dissolution of crystalline insulin formulations is an important step for insulin absorption in the subcutaneous therapy of diabetes, which is the most widespread. Here, data on the in vitro dissolution of three different crystalline forms of commercial porcine insulin are reported. The aim of this study was to create a model framework of in vivo dissolution of insulin crystalline formul...

The rate-limiting step to drug absorption is often dissolution from the dosage form, especially for poorly soluble compounds. Two possibilities for improving the dissolution of these drugs are to increase the available surface area and to improve their apparent solubilities under physiologically relevant conditions with surfactants as wetting agents. Albendazole (ABZ), one of the most effective...

The aim of this study was to enhance the dissolution rate of efavirenz using solid dispersion systems (binary and ternary). A comparison between solvent and fusion method was also investigated. Solid dispersions of efavirenz were prepared using polyethylene glycol 8000, polyvinylpyrrolidone K30 alone and combination of both. Tween 80 was incorporated to obtain a ternary solid dispersion system....

Carbamazepine is a water-insoluble antiepileptic drug. Being a BCS class-II drug, its absorption is dissolution rate limited. Solid dispersions were prepared to enhance the dissolution rate of the drug. Crospovidone and croscarmellose sodium were used as the hydrophilic carriers. Solid dispersions showed a remarkable enhancement in the dissolution rate of the drug. In the present research work,...

Poorly water-soluble drugs often suffer from limited or irreproducible clinical response due to their low solubility and dissolution rate. In this study, organic solvent-free solid dispersions (OSF-SDs) containing telmisartan (TEL) were prepared using polyvinylpyrrolidone K30 (PVP K30) and polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG 6000) as hydrophilic polymers, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) as an alkalizer, and ...

In this study, the dissolution rate of SiNx coatings was investigated as a function of coating composition, in comparison to a cobalt chromium molybdenum alloy (CoCrMo) reference. SiNx coatings with N/Si ratios of 0.3, 0.8 and 1.1 were investigated. Electrochemical measurements were complemented with solution (inductively coupled plasma techniques) and surface analysis (vertical scanning interf...

Poorly water soluble compounds have solubility and dissolution related bioavailability problems. The dissolution rate is directly proportional to solubility of drugs. Drugs with low aqueous solubility have low dissolution rates and hence suffer from oral bioavailability problems. The poor solubility and poor dissolution rate of poorly water soluble drugs in the aqueous gastro intestinal fluids ...
