The potential of liquisolid systems to improve the dissolution properties of a water-insoluble agent (indomethacin) was the purpose of this survey. In this study, different formulations of liquisolid tablets using different co-solvents (non-volatile solvents) were prepared and the effect of several amounts of them on the dissolution behaviour of indomethacin was investigated. It is worth mentio...

piroxicam, an anti-inflammatory drug, exhibits poor water solubility and flow properties, poor dissolution and poor wetting. consequently, the aim of this study was to improve the dissolution of piroxicam. microparticles containing piroxicam were produced by spray drying, using isopropyl alcohol and water in the ratio of 40:60 v/v as solvent system, and spray chilling technology by melting the ...

solid dispersions in water-soluble carriers have attracted considerable interest as a means of improving the dissolution rate, and hence possibly bioavailability, of a range of hydrophobic drugs. the poor solubility of carvedilol leads to poor dissolution and hence variation in bioavailability. the purpose of the present investigation was to increase the solubility and dissolution rate of carve...

PURPOSE Hydrophobic drugs are facing a major challenge in dissolution rate enhancement and solubility in aqueous solutions; therefore, a variety of methods have been used to improve dissolution rate and/or solubility of bendroflumethiazide as a model hydrophobic drug. METHODS In this study, two main methods (physical mixing and lyophilisation) were used with gluconolactone, hydroxyl propyl γ-...

Dissolution testing measures the rate of drug substance release into solution, impacting the extent of drug absorption. Drug manufacturers and regulatory agencies use dissolution testing to identify drug products that do not meet the desired clinical performance. Formulation composition and manufacturing processes can impact the material attributes of a drug product, which directly affect the d...

the effects of crystallization of indomethacin as a poorly water-soluble drug in aqueous surfactant solutions (using the basket method), on the drug dissolution behavior was investigated.a significant enhancement of drug dissolution was observed for for the dissolution rates of crystals treated with hydrophilic surfactants, tween 80 and sodium lauryl sulfate (sls). however, asing arlacel 60 as ...

the present study deals with characterization of dispersions of a poorly water-soluble drug, celecoxib (clx) in polyvinyl caprolactame–polyvinyl acetate–polyethylene glycol graft copolymer (soluplus® (sol)) prepared by different techniques. dispersions of clx in sol at different ratios (2:1, 1:1, 1:2, 1:4 and 1:6) were prepared by spray drying, conventional solvent evaporation and melting metho...

Solubility and drug dissolution are of crucial importance for drug formulations. Poor water-solubility of drug candidates is a major obstacle in drug development, since the oral route is the most patient convenient and cost effective way to deliver drugs. In some cases the low aqueous solubility may limit the bioavailability when the absorption of the drug is dissolution limited. About 40% of t...

glibenclamide (glib) is a poorly soluble drug with formulation-dependent bioavailability. therefore, we attempted in this study to improve glib dissolution rate by preparing drug solid dispersions by solvent evaporation (se) and supercritical fluid solvent-antisolvent techniques (scf-sas). a d-optimal mixture design was used to investigate the effects of different ratios of hpmc e5 (50-100%), p...
