Objective: The current research focuses on solubility enhancement of poorly water-soluble drug telmisartan, using novel superdisintegrants such as Entada scandens seed starch and Poloxamer-188. Starches yielded from plants are pharmaceutically useful as binders, diluents, disintegrants, and lubricants.Methods: Starches were extracted from E. scandens seed powder using alkali method (sodium hydroxide at 0.1%, 0.25%, and 0.5% concentrations) and water. These starches were subjected for the evaluation of various physicochemical properties and phytochemical tests.Results: The phytochemical tests revealed the presence of only starch in all the extracts. Of all the starches, the starch prepared from 0.5% sodium hydroxide (ESS4) showed best physicochemical properties. Solid dispersions were prepared using telmisartan, poloxamer-188, and starch (ESS4) in various concentrations using fusion technique. Various pre-formulation parameters were evaluated. From in vitro dissolution studies, it was observed that the solid dispersion formulation TP7 containing telmisartan and poloxamer-188 in 1:4 ratios showed better dissolution rate. Solid dispersion TPS7 containing TP7 formulation and 15% w/w of alkali extracted starch showed faster disintegration and enhanced dissolution rate than the solid dispersions prepared alone with poloxamer-188. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetric studies for optimized formulations revealed that there were no major interactions between the drug and excipients. X-ray diffraction studies revealed the crystalline and amorphous nature of formulations.Conclusion: Thus, the solid dispersions prepared using E. scandens seed starch revealed the superdisintegrant property of starch.

Crystalline state compounds are typically dissolution rate limited and dissolution rate is directly proportional to the solubility for BCS class II or class IV compounds. Solid dispersions are one of the most promising strategies to improve the oral bioavailability poorly water soluble drugs. The purpose of this study was to increase solubility of carvedilol by solid dispersion (SDs) technique with Poloxamer (PXM) 407 in aqueous media. The carvedilol- PXM 407 solid dispersion was prepared by solvent evaporation, kneading and melting method. It was characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transformation infra-red spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and in vitro dissolution studies. The prepared solid dispersion were found to have higher dissolution rates as compared to intact carvedilol. During formulation of solid dispersion crystalline to amorphous transition has been observed.

The poor solubility of drug substances in water and their low dissolution rate in aqueous G.I.T fluid often leads to insufficient bioavailability. As per Biopharmaceutical Classification System (BCS), Olmesartan belongs to the class-II category having poor solubility and high permeability. Since only dissolved drug can pass the gastrointestinal membrane, the proper solubility of the drug is ultimately desired. Its oral bioavailability is 26%. Hence, an attempt was made to enhance its solubility by formulating solid dispersions using different techniques viz., Melting, Kneading, Co-precipitation, Solvent evaporation and Physical mixing etc., Drug and carrier (Urea) in different ratios like 1: 1, 1: 2, 1: 3 and 1:4 were used for formulating solid dispersions. The compatibility of the drug with the carrier was checked by FTIR studies, these results revealed that there was no interaction between them. The angle of repose, bulk density, tapped density; Carr’s index and Hausner ratio were calculated for the micrometric characterization of all the solid dispersions. The drug content was found to be high and uniform in all formulations. The prepared Solid dispersion SEM4 (1:4) showed minimal wetting time of 13 seconds compared with the other formulations. In vitro dissolution, release studies in Phosphate buffer pH of 6.8 revealed that the prepared solid dispersions showed faster drug release compared with the pure drug.  The in vitro dissolution profile showed ascendency on increasing the carrier concentration
