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-...

ABSTARCT : The objective of the study is to evaluate the individual main effects and combined (or interaction) effects of Hydroxy propyl β cyclodextrin (HPβCD), poly vinyl pyrrolidone (PVP K30) and sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) on the solubility and dissolution rate of efavirenz in a series of 2 factorial experiments. The solubility of efavirenz in eight selected fluids containing HPβCD, PVP K30...

PURPOSE The aim of this work was to evaluate the influence of crystal habit on the dissolution and in vitro antibacterial and anitiprotozoal activity of sulfadimidine:4-aminosalicylic acid cocrystals. METHODS Cocrystals were produced via milling or solvent mediated processes. In vitro dissolution was carried out in the flow-through apparatus, with shadowgraph imaging and mechanistic mathemati...

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...

Diosmin, a vascular-protecting agent, is practically insoluble in water, and its oral absorption is limited by its extremely low dissolution rate. In this study, β-cyclodextrin (βCD) and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD) were obtained to improve the solubility and dissolution rate of diosmin. Phase solubility studies of diosmin with βCD and HPβCD in distilled water were conducted to charac...

Recommended Citation Qiu, Yang. "Dissolution mechanisms: theoretical and experimental investigations. ABSTRACT Dissolution rate is an important indicator of drug bioavailability. In this work, a mixed-kinetic-controlled dissolution model was developed which encompasses transport control and interface control as limiting cases. This model is mathematically equivalent to two existing mixed-kineti...

PURPOSE The micronization using milling process to enhance dissolution rate is extremely inefficient due to a high energy input, and disruptions in the crystal lattice which can cause physical or chemical instability. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to use in situ micronization process through pH change method to produce micron-size gliclazide particles for fast dissolution hence bet...

This article discusses the dissolution of mineral fibers in simulated physiological fluids (SPF), and the parameters that affect the solubility measurement in a dynamic test where an SPF runs through a cell containing fibers (Scholze and Conradt test). Solutions simulate either the extracellular fluid (pH 7.6) or the intracellular fluid (pH 4.5). The fibers have various chemical compositions an...
