Ursolic acid is a promising candidate for treatment of Chagas disease; however it has low aqueous solubility and intestinal absorption, which are both limiting factors for bioavailability. Among the strategies to enhance the solubility and dissolution of lipophilic drugs, solid dispersions are growing in popularity. In this study, we employed a mixture of the surfactants poloxamer 407 with sodium caprate to produce a solid dispersion containing ursolic acid aimed at enhancing both drug dissolution and in vivo trypanocidal activity. Compared to the physical mixture, the solid dispersion presented higher bulk density and smaller particle size. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy results showed hydrogen bonding intermolecular interactions between drug and poloxamer 407. X-ray diffractometry experiments revealed the conversion of the drug from its crystalline form to a more soluble amorphous structure. Consequently, the solubility of ursolic acid in the solid dispersion was increased and the drug dissolved in a fast and complete manner. Taken together with the oral absorption-enhancing property of sodium caprate, these results explained the increase of the in vivo trypanocidal activity of ursolic acid in solid dispersion, which also proved to be safe by cytotoxicity evaluation using the LLC-MK2 cell line.

Objective: The aim of the present study was the enhancement in the solubility of tamoxifen citrate using solid dispersion which is considered as a great solution to overcome the poor water solubility behavior of tamoxifen citrate (TMX) by solvent evaporation technique using Soluplus® as a novel carrier then formulate it as an orodispersible tablet.Method: A total of 24 formulas were prepared as a solid dispersion by solvent evaporation method using Soluplus® as a polymeric solubilizer in the ratio of 1:1, 1:3, 1:5, 1:7, and 1:10 then formulated as orodispersible tablets by incorporating three types of superdisintegrants; croscarmellose, crospovidone, and sodium starch glycolate (SSG) with the solid dispersion. Characterization of the formulation was done using differential scanning colorimetry, Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscope and the best formula was selected according to the disintegration and dissolution tests.Results and Discussion: Formula 22 were selected as the best formula which contains mixed types of superdisintegrants; croscarmellose and SSG with the fastest complete disintegration of 6.5 s and complete dissolution with <2 min.Conclusion: Accordingly, TMX was successfully enhanced its water solubility by converting its crystalline structure into the amorphous state through solid dispersion with Soluplus® and formulated as an orodispersible tablet to improve its oral absorption.

This study aimed to improve the solubility and dissolution of aprepitant, a drug with poor aqueous solubility, using a phosphatidylcholine (PC)-based solid dispersion system. When fabricating the PC-based solid dispersion, we employed mesoporous microparticles, as an adsorbent, and disintegrants to improve the sticky nature of PC and dissolution of aprepitant, respectively. The solid dispersions were prepared by a solvent evaporation technique and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray powder diffraction. The FTIR results showed that aprepitant interacted with the PC carrier by both hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces that can also be observed in the interaction between aprepitant and polymer carriers. The solid dispersions fabricated with only PC were not sufficient to convert the crystallinity of aprepitant to an amorphous state, whereas the formulations that included adsorbent and disintegrant successfully changed that of aprepitant to an amorphous state. Both the solubility and dissolution of aprepitant were considerably enhanced in the PC-based solid dispersions containing adsorbent and disintegrant compared with those of pure aprepitant and polymer-based solid dispersions. Therefore, these results suggest that our PC-based solid dispersion system is a promising alternative to conventional formulations for poorly water-soluble drugs, such as aprepitant.
