Low solubility compounds show dissolution rate limited absorption and hence poor absorption, distribution and target organ delivery. Improvement of aqueous solubility in such a case is valuable goal to improve therapeutic efficacy. Complexation with CDs by different methods like physical mixing, melting, kneding, spray drying, freeze drying, co-evaporation has been reported to enhance the solub...

Department of pharmaceutics, Hindu College of Pharmacy, Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, India. ______________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Poorly water-soluble drugs involve many difficulties in the development of pharmaceutical dosage forms for oral delivery systems due to their low bioavailability. Therapeutic effectiveness of a drug depends upon the bioavailabilit...

the formulation of hydrophobic drugs for oral drug delivery is challenging due to poor solubility, poor dissolution and poor wetting of these drugs. consequently, the aim of this study was to improve the dissolution of a model poorly water soluble drug, ibuprofen. microparticles containing ibuprofen were produced by spray drying and spray chilling technology in the absence/presence of a hydroph...

Ionic liquids (ILs) have been exploited to improve the absorption of poorly water-soluble drugs. Custom-made ILs solubilized very high quantities of the poorly water-soluble drugs, danazol and itraconazole, and maintained drug solubilization under simulated gastro-intestinal conditions. A danazol-containing self-emulsifying IL formulation gave rise to 4.3-fold higher exposure than the crystalli...

conclusions this study demonstrated that physicochemical properties, in vitro release and rat intestine permeability were dependent upon the contents of s/c, water and oil percentage in formulations. background self-emulsifying drug delivery system is an isotropic mixture of natural or synthetic oils, non-ionic surfactants or, one or more hydrophilic solvent and co-solvents/surfactant and polym...

in order to enhance in vitro dissolution and content uniformity of poorly soluble drug glimepiride by preparing solid dispersions using modified solvent fusion method, solid dispersions of drug were prepared by modified fusion solvent method using peg 6000 and pvp k25 (as carrier). eight batches (f1-f8) were prepared by factorial design (23) by taking three factors i.e. the concentration of: dr...

Regardless of the administration route, the key factor for the success and reliability of any formulation is drug bioavailability, defined as the rate and extent at which the active drug is absorbed from a pharmaceutical form and becomes available at the site of drug action.1 Although metabolism and physiological factors highly affect drug absorption by living tissues, bioavailability is strong...
