The objective of this work was to improve aqueous solubility of poorly water soluble drugs by a modified porous starch as solid dispersion carrier. The yield of the porous starch was found to be 80%. The flow property of the prepared porous starch was found to be good, with good compressibility index. The particle size of the prepared porous starch were found to be in the range of 53–130μ. Ther...

Meloxicam is a poorly water soluble non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and antipyretic agent. The aim of the present work was to investigate the effect of different types of carriers on in vitro dissolution of meloxicam. Meloxicam solid dispersions were prepared by physical mixing, co-grinding and solvent evaporation methods with polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000. The effect of solubilization by...

Curcumin is coming from the Curcuma longa which gives golden color and have the biological importance. As per the survey it is water insoluble, the poor solubility and wettability of curcumin leads to poor dissolution and hence shows poor bioavailability. The present study is aimed at increasing solubility of drug using solid dispersion technique. The solid binary systems were prepared using di...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the suitability of Raman spectroscopy as a Process Analytical Technology (PAT) tool for the in-line determination of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) concentration and the polymer-drug solid state during a pharmaceutical hot-melt extrusion process. For in-line API quantification, different metoprolol tartrate (MPT)--Eudragit® RL PO mixtures, conta...

The effects of storage on the crystallization, dissolution and absorption of tolbutamide from amorphous tolbutamide-2-hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CyD) complex were investigated, in comparison with those of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) solid dispersion. The amorphous solid complex of tolbutamide with HP-beta-CyD and the solid dispersion of tolbutamide with PVP were prepared by a spray...

Objective(s) The purpose of the present study was to use the solid dispersion (SD) technique to improve the dissolution rates of indomethacin (IMC). Materials and Methods IMC solid dispersions in PVP K30 and isomalt (GALEN IQ 990) were prepared using the solvent evaporation technique and a hot melt method in weight ratios of 2, 10 and 30% (IMC:PVP). Solid dispersions and physical mixtures we...

Efavirenz is an HIV-1 specific, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI).It is an antiretroviral agent indicated for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection, which is not soluble in water and lower absorption in gastric fluid. In order to improve the solubility and oral absorption of the drug in gastric fluid and to enhance its dissolution rate, soli...

Solid dispersions were prepared by a conventional solvent evaporation method from the water-insoluble model drug 10-hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT) and monomethoxypoly(ethylene glycol) 2000 (mPEG 2000). And then one type of novel biodegradable nanoparticles, the solid dispersion (HCPT/mPEG-CHO) grafted with carboxymethylchitosan (HCPT/mPEG-g-CMCTS) was synthesized. The increase in HCPT solubility of...

Solid dispersion particles of carvedilol (CAR) were prepared with porous silica (Sylysia 350) by the solvent evaporation method in a vacuum evaporator to ensure an effective pore-filling procedure. Two sets were prepared, each with various amounts of CAR in solid dispersions, and with the pore-filling process differing each time. Set A was prepared by a one-step filling method and set B by a mu...

Paracetamol (PCM) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), sparingly soluble and bitter in taste. It is widely used as an analgesic and antipyretic. Solid dispersion of drug with different polymers was attempted to improve solubility of paracetamol.The aim of this study was to prepare, characterize and compare solid dispersions of poorly water soluble non-steroidal anti-inflammatory d...
