−The purpose of this investigation was to enhance the dissolution rate of loratadine using polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG) solid dispersions (SDs). The solubility behavior of loratadine in the presence of polyethylene glycol 4000 and polyethylene glycol 6000 in water showed linear increase with increasing concentrations of PEG, indicating AL type solubility diagrams. SDs of loratadine with PEG 6...

The purpose of this study is to fabricate the polyethylene glycol matrix tablet by mold technique. Indomethacin and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose were used as model drug and polymer, respectively, in PEG matrix system. The physical and drug release characteristics of developed matrix tablet were studied. This inert carrier system comprising 7:3 polyethylene glycol 4000: polyethylene glycol 400 c...

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...

The aim of present study was to prepare and evaluate mouth dissolving tablets of ibuprofen (IBU). Ternary solid dispersion (SD) of IBU was prepared using PEG 4000 as carrier and Tween 80 as surfactant. The SD formulations were prepared by solvent evaporation and melt solvent method by varying ratio of PEG 4000. Different weight ratio of carrier, drug and surfactant 5 : 5 : 1, 10 : 5 : 1, 25 : 5...

Solid dispersions have been widely used to enhance the solubility of poorly water soluble drugs. In this study, solid dispersions of valsartan (VAL) with natural polymers such as hupu gum (HG), guar gum (GG) and xanthan gum (XG) were prepared by kneading technique in the weight ratios of 1:1,1:2,1:3 and1:4.The prepared solid dispersions were investigated by X-ray diffraction, infrared spectrosc...

It has been estimated that nearly 35-40 % of drugs suffer from poor aqueous solubility and it affects the absorption of drug from gastrointestinal tract that leads to high inter and intra subject variability, poor oral bioavailability, increase in dose, reduction in therapeutic efficiency and finally failure in formulation development. Various formulation strategies like micronization, solubili...

A mathematical model is described and applied for adsorption process of ethyl acetate from supercritical CO2 stream on activated carbon particles. This model has the ability of illustrating variation of effluent concentration towards different parameters such as flow rate, temperature and pressure. In this research, a vast area of operational conditions is experienced. Mass transfer resistance ...

In an attempt to improve the dissolution rate of poorly aqueous soluble diacerein (DCN), solid dispersions (SDs) were prepared with a surfactant Pluronic® F 127 (PXMR) at drug to polymer ratios of 1:0.5, 1:1.5, and 1:2.5 (w/w) by an ordinary melting technique. The interaction of DCN with PXMR in all solid binary systems was evaluated by thin layer chromatography (TLC), Fourier transform infrare...

The present research was aimed at the enhancement of the dissolution rate of atorvastatin calcium by the solid dispersion technique using modified locust bean gum. Solid dispersions (SD) using modified locust bean gum were prepared by the modified solvent evaporation method. Other mixtures were also prepared by physical mixing, co-grinding, and the kneading method. The locust bean gum was subje...
