it has been observed that most of the chemical entities have high lipophilicity and poor aqueous solubility, which result in poor bioavailability. in order to improve the bioavailability, the release behavior of such drugs should be improved. although there are numerous techniques to handle solubility related issue, but they are expensive due to involvement of complicated equipments, advanced m...

Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that exhibits analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory activities. It is practically insoluble in water. The effect of hydrotropes such as urea and sodium citrate and blends (urea + sodium citrate) on the solubility of aceclofenac was investigated. The enhancement in the solubility of aceclofenac was more than 5 and 25 folds in 3...

This work describes a melt granulation technique to improve the solubility and dissolution characteristics of a poorly water-soluble drug Fenofibrate (FNO). Melt granulation technique is a process by which pharmaceutical powders are efficiently agglomerated by a meltable polymers and surfactants. The advantage of this technique compared to a conventional granulation is that no water or organic ...

Oral delivery of poorly water-soluble compounds is often a substantial challenge. Once a drug candidate is selected, it is desirable to predict, based on chemical structure, which formulation technology has the highest potential to enhance drug solubility and absorption. Due to the importance of amorphous drug formulations, this work aimed at calculating the solubility ratio of amorphous and cr...

The purpose of this study was to develop a compaction technique to enhance the solubility, dissolution rate and other physicochemical properties of poorly water-soluble drug indomethacin (IM) with different polymers. The IM was compacted with the different polymers like hydroxy propyl methylcellulose (HPMC), Kollicoat IR, Chitosan, Polyvinyl Pyrrolidone without using any binder and solvent. Pol...

The aim of this study is to enhance the solubility of poorly water soluble drugs via the Surface Solid Dispersion (SSD) strategy using glibenclamide as a model drug. The drug was solubilized by surfactants and/or polymers then adsorbed onto the surface of extremely fine carriers to increase its surface area and to form the SSD. Characterization of SSD was carried out using differential scanning...
