Prednisolone is an analgesic and anti-inflammatory drug. It possesses poor aqueous solubility and has irritant effects on stomach mucosa. In order to modulate its gastric side effect and increase aqueous solubility, physical mixture and solid dispersion of prednisolone were prepared with skimmed milk. In this study, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of these formulations were investigated...

Despite intensive investigations over the past five decades, the microscopic origins of the fascinating dielectric properties of ABO3 relaxor ferroelectrics are currently poorly understood. Here, we show that the frequency dispersion that is the hallmark of relaxor behavior is quantitatively related to the crystal chemical characteristics of the solid solution. Density functional theory is used...

Mechanochemical activation is a practical cogrinding operation used to obtain a solid dispersion of a poorly water soluble drug through changes in the solid state molecular aggregation of drug-carrier mixtures and the formation of noncovalent interactions (hydrogen bonds) between two crystalline solids such as a soluble carrier, lactose, and a poorly soluble drug, indomethacin, in order to impr...

Domperidone is practically insoluble prokinetic drug; the systemic bioavailability of the drug following oral administration is only 13-17% because of extensive presystemic metabolism in the gut wall and liver. The applicability of the solid dispersion technique as a method for enhancing absorption of the drug through achieving better dissolution characteristics and better bioavailability for d...
