Solid dispersion refers to the dispersion of one or more active ingredients in an inert carrier in a solid state, frequently prepared by the melting method, solvent method, or fusion solvent method. The oral bioavailability of poorly water soluble drug remains as the most challenging aspects of drug development. Solid dispersion approach is to reduce particle size, therefore increases the disso...

Nanotechnology has been improving and has a variety of application fields. One of the major application areas of nanotechnology in pharmacy is nanoparticular drug delivery systems. Preparation of drug nanocrystals to improve the solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs for oral delivery is also one of the important applications. Nanocrystal dispersions comprise water, active drug substance and ...

this paper reviews the use of texture analysis in studying the performance of hydrophilic matrices of highly soluble drugs and different types of excipients (i.e. water-soluble, water-insoluble and swellable, and water insoluble and non-swellable). tablets were prepared by direct compression, and their swelling and erosion in presence of these different excipients were assessed with the help of...

BACKGROUND Self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (SNEDDS) have become a popular formulation option as nanocarriers for poorly water-soluble drugs. The objective of this study was to investigate the factor that can influence the design of successful lipid formulation classification system (LFCS) Type III SNEDDS formulation and improve the oral bioavailability (BA) of fenofibrate.
