Liquisolid system is a novel concept of dosage formulation for water insoluble drugs and lipophilic drugs via oral route. Formulation concept of liquisolid technology involves water insoluble drugs dissolved in suitable non-volatile liquid vehicles, and converted in to compact by blending with selective powder excipients. Liquisolid compacts are compressible powdered forms of liquid medications...

During the last two decades, many modern technologies have been established in the pharmaceutical research and development area. The automation of the drug discovery process by technologies such as high-throughput screening, combinatorial chemistry, and computer-aided drug design is leading to a vast number of drug candidates possessing a very good efficacy [1]. Unfortunately, many of these dru...

The emerging trends in the combinatorial chemistry and drug design have led to the development of drug candidates with greater lipophilicity, high molecular weight and poor water solubility. Majority of the failures in new drug development have been attributed to poor water solubility of the drug. Issues associated with poor solubility can lead to low bioavailability resulting in suboptimal dru...
