Objective: Leflunomide is Non steroidal Anti-Inflammatory drug, which is poorly water soluble. In present study attempt has been made to prepare and characterize solid dispersions of leflunomide to increase solubility of drug.Method:  In Preparation of solid dispersion of leflunomide different polymer like PEG 4000, PEG 6000, Poloxamer 188 and Poloxamer 407 were used.  Effects of several variables such as type of carrier used, drug: carrier ratios, method of preparation were studied. The evaluation of solid dispersions was done by solubility study, dissolution study and X-ray diffractometry. Result: Improvement in dissolution of drug was observed in all solid dispersions as compared to pure drug alone. Solid dispersions prepared using Poloxamer 188 showed fastest in vitro drug release. Solid dispersions prepared using solvent evaporation method showed relatively faster drug release than melt evaporation method. XRD patterns indicated reduced crystallinity of drug particles, which suggests mechanism of enhanced solubility and dissolution of drug in solid dispersion systems.Conclusion:  A significant result obtained with the study indicated that solid dispersion by solvent evaporation can successfully be further explored and employed to improve solubility and dissolution characteristics of poorly soluble drugs.Keywords: Leflunomide, Solid dispersion, Carrier

Nebivolol is a pharmaceutical drug used for the treatment of Hypertension. It is characterized with poor solubility which limits its absorption and dissolution rate which delays onset of action. In the present study, fifteen formulations of solid dispersions were prepared with 1:1:1, 1:5:2 and 1:3:1.5 ratios of drug: carrier: surfactant by solvent evaporation method. There was significant improvement in the rate of drug release from all 15 solid dispersions and the formulation (SD14) comprising Nebivolol: Kleptose HPB: SLS in 1:5:2 ratio has shown enhanced solubility about 42 folds and significant improvement in the rate of drug release i.e. From powder X-ray diffraction (p-XRD) and by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies it was evident that polymorphic form of Nebivolol has been converted into an amorphous form from crystalline within the solid dispersion formulation. The present study demonstrated that formulation of Nebivolol solid dispersion is a highly effective strategy for enhancing the bioavailability of poorly water soluble drug Nebivolol.

Objective: The present study was aimed to enhance the solubility of poorly water soluble drug Ibuprofen using solid dispersion technique and to develop sustained release tablets containing solid dispersion granules of the optimized batch. Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory propertiesMethods: Solid dispersions of Ibuprofen were prepared by using PEG 20000 and Poloxamer 407 in different weight ratios by fusion and solvent evaporation method. Drug-carrier physical mixtures were also prepared. Solid dispersions were characterized by saturation solubility, drug content, in vitro dissolution, FTIR and DSC analysis. Solid dispersion formulation, SDF9 (PEG 20000 and Poloxamer 407, 1:3:3) prepared by solvent evaporation method was considered as the optimized batch. Sustained release tablets containing the solid dispersion granules of the optimized batch were prepared by direct compression method using HPMC K100M at three concentrations (10%, 14%, 18% w/w). The prepared formulations were evaluated for hardness, thickness, weight variation, friability, in vitro dissolution studies and release kinetics modelling.Results: Solid dispersion formulation, SDF9showed 95.09% drug release in 60 min and considered as the optimized batch. Tablet formulation, FT3 (HPMC K100M 18% w/w) showed 96% drug release for 12 h.Conclusion: Solid dispersions of ibuprofen using a combination of PEG 20000 and poloxamer 407 by solvent evaporation method may result in higher aqueous solubility of the drug. Also sustained release tablets containing solid dispersion granules of ibuprofen, using HPMC K100M may be a promising approach to extend the release rate of the drug from the solid dispersion for 12 h.

Repaglinide is a pharmaceutical drug used for the treatment of type II diabetes mellitus, it is characterized with poor solubility which limits its absorption and dissolution rate and delays onset of action. In the present study, immediate release solid dispersion of repaglinide was formulated by solvent evaporation technique. Repaglinide solid dispersions were prepared using PEG 8000, Pluronic F 127 and Gelucire 44/14 by solvent evaporation method. A 3-factor, 3-level central composite design employed to study the effect of each independent variable on dependent variables. FTIR studies revealed that no drug excipient interaction takes place. From powder X-ray diffraction (p-XRD) and by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies it was evident that polymorphic form of repaglinide has been converted into an amorphous form from crystalline within the solid dispersion formulation. The correlation coefficient showed that the release profile followed Higuchi model anomalous behavior and hence release mechanism was indicative of diffusion. The obtained results suggested that developed solid dispersion by solvent evaporation method might be an efficacious approach for enhancing the solubility and dissolution rate of repaglinide.

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.
