INTRODUCTION Solubility is one of the important parameter to achieve desired concentration of drug in systemic circulation for pharmacological response. Poor aqueous solubility of lipophilic drugs creates problems in formulation as well as in oral administration. Various approaches have been developed to resolve poor aqueous solubility of lipophilic drugs. As oral route for drug administration ...

Low oral bioavailability as a consequence of low water solubility of drugs is a growing challenge to the development of new pharmaceutical products. One of the most popular approaches of oral bioavailability and solubility enhancement is the utilization of lipid-based drug delivery systems. Their use in product development is growing due to the versatility of pharmaceutical lipid excipients and...

Ease of administration and painless approach made oral route the most preferred. Poor oral bioavailability is pronounced with the majority of recent active ingredients because of dissolution rate limited absorption. Failure to attain intended therapeutic effect of the poor water soluble drugs by this route led to development of novel drug delivery systems which will fulfill therapeutic needs wi...

Purpose: This study aimed to formulate Resveratrol, a practically water-insoluble antioxidant in self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) improve the solubility, release rate, and intestinal permeability of drug. Methods: The suitable oil, surfactant, co-surfactant were chosen according solubility study. Utilizing design experiment (DoE) method, pseudo-ternary phase diagram was plott...

Biphenyl Dimethyl Dicarboxylate (DDB) and Silymarin are widely used drugs for the treatment of hepatitis C virus, have poor bioavailability due to their low aqueous solubility that limits their dissolution rates. To overcome these limitations solid dispersions (SDs) and self-microemulsifing drug delivery systems (SMEDDS) were prepared in an attempt to improve their release profile. SDs were pre...
