In the present research investigation, the utility of employing high dissolving forms of nifedipine for sustained release from matrix tablets with almond gum as major release retardant is explored. A poorly soluble BCS class II drug nifedipine is chosen as a model drug. Efforts were made to alter the dissolution characteristics of the drug before it is entrapped in the polymer matrix of almond gum. Inclusion complexation in sulfobutyl ether beta cyclodextrin or solid dispersion in gelucire (50/13) resulted in enhanced dissolution of nifedipine. The high dissolving forms are characterized by x-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry and infra-red spectroscopy. The matrix tablets prepared employing the high dissolving forms exhibited satisfactory characteristics such as hardness, friability, swelling index. The drug release is found to be slow and spread over a period of 12 hours and the release could be modified with changes in nature of high dissolving form and the proportion of almond gum as the major release retardant. Employing high dissolving forms in matrix tablets of almond gum is found to be a novel approach in obtaining slow and complete release of poorly soluble drug such as nifedipine. Keywords:  sulfobutyl ether beta cyclodextrin, solid dispersion, nifedipine

The poorly water soluble drugs tend to have low bioavailability and this can be improved by several methods. Solid dispersion is a promising formulation approach to improve solubility and dissolution and ultimately oral bioavailability of these drugs. The aim of this study was to prepare and characterize solid dispersion of anti-diabetic glimepiride, a BCS class II drug, with the hydrophilic carrier PVP K30 by solvent evaporation and microwave induced fusion methods. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X–ray powder diffractometry (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) were used to evaluate the physical state of the drug. The solid dispersions were also evaluated for drug content, solubility and dissolution studies. Solid dispersions prepared by solvent evaporation method were showed maximum enhancement of solubility and dissolution in comparison to that prepared by other method.

Objective: The aims of the study to enhance solubility and dissolution of famotidine using natural polymer. Solubility study of a drug is one of the contributing factors of its oral bioavailability. The formulation of poorly soluble drugs for oral delivery presents a challenge to the formulation technologists. Methods: The present study has shown that it is possible to raise the solubility for poorly soluble drugs like famotidine, by preparing solid dispersion using natural water-soluble polymer (xyloglucan and hyaluronic acid) as solubilizer through solvent evaporation method. Physical mixture and solid dispersion of famotidine with xyloglucan (XG) or hyaluronic acid in a ratio of 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 were prepared. Solubility study, drug content, dissolution profile and compatibility study were performed for famotidine in solid dispersions XS1, XS2, XS3, HS4, HS5, HS6 as well as in physical mixtures at a ratio 1:1 for both polymer (XG and hyaluronic acid). Results: It was observed that solid dispersions of each drugs showed an increase in dissolution rate in comparison with its pure drug in the ratio of 1:1 (Drug: carrier). It can be concluded that with the care and proper use of xyloglucan, the solubility of drugs poorly soluble can be improved. The prepared solid dispersion showed improvement of drug solubility in all prepared formulas. The best result was obtained with formula XS1 (famotidine: xyloglucan at ratio 1:1) that showed 26 fold increase in solubility compared to the solubility of pure drug. Conclusion: The natural solid dispersion, increased wettability and reduced crystallinity of the drug which leads to improving solubility and dissolution.

            Atorvastatin (ATR) is poorly soluble anti-hyperlipidemic drug; it belongs to the class II group according to the biopharmaceutical classification system (BCS) with low bioavailability due to its low solubility. Solid dispersions adsorbate is an effective technique for enhancing the solubility and dissolution of poorly soluble drugs.           The present study aims to enhance the solubility and dissolution rate of ATR using solid dispersion adsorption technique in comparison with ordinary solid dispersion. polyethylene glycol 4000 (PEG 4000), polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG 6000), Poloxamer188 and Poloxamer 407were used as hydrophilic carriers and Aerosil 200, Aerosil 300 and magnesium aluminium silicate (MAS) as adsorbents.            All solid dispersion adsorbate (SDA) formulas  were prepared in ratios of 1:1:1  (drug: carrier: adsorbent) and evaluated for their water solubility, percentage yield, drug content,  , dissolution, crystal structure using  X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)  studies and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) for determination the drug-carrier- adsorbate interaction.                The prepared (SDA) showed significant improvement of drug solubility in all prepared formula. Best result was obtained with formula SDA12(ATR :Poloxamer407 : MAS 1:1:1) that showed 8.07 and 5.38  fold increase in solubility compared to  solubility of pure ATR and  solid dispersion(SD4) (Atorvastatin: Poloxamer 407 1:1) respectively due to increased wettability and reduced crystallinity of the drug which leads to improve drug solubility  and  dissolution .

 Solid dispersion (SD) has been a major advanced technology in overcoming dissolution and bioavailability problem of poorly soluble compounds. Formulation of SD in water-soluble carrier has becoming more researched over the past four decades for solubility and relative bioavailability enhancement. By reduction of the size of the drug particle to the minimum level which will enhance drug wettability and ultimately bioavailability will be definitely improved. This review article elaborates recent advanced technology and characterization of SDs and also discusses the problems and their solution for the development of better formulations.
