The purpose of this study is to develop a novel liquisolid technique to enhance the dissolution rate of poorly water soluble drug Carvedilol, a BCS class II drug, which is a β-blocker, by using different excipients. The main components of a liquisolid system are a non volatile solvent, carrier and coating materials and a disintegrant. Liquisolid system refers to the formulations that are formed...

Diazepam possesses potent anti-epileptic, anti-anxiety activity and also indicated for the treatment of insomnia. It is very slightly soluble in water and shows poor dissolution. Presently, liquisolid compact technique is found to be used extensively as one of the successful tool to enhance the solubility and dissolution of various poorly soluble drugs. The principle focus of this study is to f...

The aim of the present work was to prepare and evaluate sustained release liquisolid compact formulations of tramadol hydrochloride. The dissolution profile of the prepared compacts was also compared to that of a marketed preparation. Liquisolid sustained release formulations were prepared by using HPMC K4M as a sustained release agent. Precompression studies of characteristics such as flow pro...

In present investigation liquisolid compact technique is investigated as a tool for enhanced dissolution of poorly water-soluble drug Rosuvastatin calcium (RVT). The model drug RVT, a HMG-Co A reductase inhibitor was formulated in form of directly compressed tablets and liquisolid compacts; and studied for in-vitro release characteristics at different dissolution conditions. In this technique, ...

Olmesartan medoxomil is an angiotensin type II receptor blocker, antihypertensive agent, administered orally. It is highly lipophilic (log P 5.5) and a poorly water-soluble drug with absolute bioavailability of 26%. The poor dissolution rate of water-insoluble drugs is still a major problem confronting the pharmaceutical industry. The objective of the present investigation was to develop liquis...

Nifedipine is an antihypertensive BCS class II drug which has poor bioavailability when given orally. The objective of the present study was to increase the bioavailability of nifedipine, by formulation and evaluation of a buccoadhesive liquisolid system using magnesium aluminium silicate (Neusilin) as both carrier and coating material and dissolution media were selected based on the solubility...

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...
