Oral administration is the most commonly used and readily accepted form of drug delivery; however, it is find that many drugs are difficult to attain enough bioavailability when administered via this route. Polymeric micelles (PMs) can overcome some limitations of the oral delivery acting as carriers able to enhance drug absorption, by providing (1) protection of the loaded drug from the harsh environment of the GI tract, (2) release of the drug in a controlled manner at target sites, (3) prolongation of the residence time in the gut by mucoadhesion, and (4) inhibition of efflux pumps to improve the drug accumulation. To explain the mechanisms for enhancement of oral bioavailability, we discussed the special stability of PMs, the controlled release properties of pH-sensitive PMs, the prolongation of residence time with mucoadhesive PMs, and the P-gp inhibitors commonly used in PMs, respectively. The primary purpose of this paper is to illustrate the potential of PMs for delivery of poorly water-soluble drugs with bioavailability being well maintained.

Objective: This review article explores solid dispersions (SDs) as one of the suitable approaches to formulate poorly water-soluble drugs. The objective of this review on SD techniques is to explore their utility as a feasible, simple, and economically viable method for augmentation of dissolution of hydrophobic drugs. Methods: Various types of SDs are classified and compared. Use of surfactants to stabilize the SDs and their potential advantages and disadvantages has been discussed. Different techniques for preparing and evaluating SDs are appraised along with discussions on scalability and industrial production. Review of the current research on SD along with future trends is also offered. Results: Based on the various researches, SDs offer an efficient means of improving bioavailability while concurrently contributing to lower toxicity and dose-reduction. Conclusion: Solid-dispersions have been and continue to be one of the key technologies for solving the issue of poor solubility for newer hydrophobic molecules which are being discovered. This would give a new lease of life for such drugs enabling them to be delivered in an effective way.

Background: Electrospinning is developing rapidly from an earlier laboratory method into an industrial process. The clinical applications are approached in various ways through electrospun medicated nanofibers. The fast-dissolving oral drug delivery system (DDS) among them is one of the most promising routes in the near future for commercial applications. Methods: Related papers are investigated, including the latest research results, on electrospun nanofiber-based fast-dissolution DDSs. Results: Several relative topics have been concluded: 1) the development of electrospinning, ranging from 1-fluid blending to multi-fluid process and potential applications in the formation of medicated nanofibers involving poorly water-soluble drugs; 2) Selection of appropriate polymer matrices and drug carriers for filament formation; 3) Types of poorly water-soluble drugs ideal for fast oral delivery; 4) The methods for evaluating fast-dissolving nanofibers; 5) The mechanisms that promote the fast dissolution of poorly water-soluble drugs by electrospun nanofibers; 6) the important issues for further development of electrospun medicated nanofibers as oral fast-dissolving drug delivery systems. Conclusions & Perspectives: The unique properties of electrospun-medicated nanofibers can be used as oral fast dissolving DDSs of poorly water-soluble drugs. However, some significant issues need to be investigated, such as scalable productions and solid dosage form conversions.
