Aim: Ambrisentan is a endothelin type A selective receptor antagonist used in the management of pulmonary arterial hypertension. Ambrisentan is BCS Class II drug haves very poor solubility in water and shows incomplete absorption after oral administration. The present work was aimed to study the effect of amphiphilic graft co-polymer carrier on enhancement of solubility and dissolution rate of poorly water soluble drug ambrisentan. To improve the aqueous solubility of ambrisentan solid dispersion was formulated by using novel carrier amphiphilic graft co-polymer (Soluplus® ). Materials and Methods: Solid dispersion was prepared by kneading technique by utilizing various ratios of carrier. Obtained solid dispersions ware evaluated for solubility, percentage yield, drug content and in vitro dissolution study. Powder characterization was performed by infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Results: FTIR spectroscopy shows no interaction between drug and polymer. DSC study showed that endothermic peak of drug was completely disappeared in Solid dispersion suggesting complete miscibility of drug in Soluplus®. XRD study suggest the conversion of crystalline ambrisentan in to amorphous form. All solid dispersions prepared with Soluplus® as a carrier showed increase in solubility. Solubility of ambrisentan was found to be increased 7.17 fold in optimized SD formulation ASD5. In vitro dissolution study showed the faster drug release from SD formulation compare to its pure form. All solid dispersion formulation’s release more than 50% of drug in first 10 min. Conclusion: This study conclude that the preparation of amphiphilic graft co-polymer based solid dispersion prepared by kneading technique is found to be useful in enhancement the solubility and dissolution rate of ambrisentan.

A simple, rapid, and economical method has been developed for the simultaneous estimation of the latest FDA approved antiviral drug combination, Dolutegravir, Lamivudine, and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in tablet dosage form using Shimadzu LC-20 AT HPLC with a Phenomenex Luna column compartment., the method was developed using HPLC graded methanol with o-phosphoric acid as a mobile phase and successfully validated the developed method as per the ICH guidelines. The method was found to be linear, accurate, precise, robust, and rugged. The limit of detection and the limit of quantification was found to be 2.6μg/ml and 8.18μg/ml for Dolutegravir, 14.63 μg/ml and 44.35 μg/ml for Lamivudine and 16.43 μg/ml and 49.81 μg/ml for tenofovir disoproxil fumarate respectively. The retention time was found to be 3.0, 2.3 and 2.7 min for Dolutegravir, Lamivudine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate respectively. All of assessed parameters complied with the acceptance criteria hence indicated the usefulness of the RP-HPLC method for the determination of assay and in-vitro dissolution study for tablet dosage form which contains lamivudine, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, and dolutegravir active substances. Hence the method can be applied for routine quality control of the drugs.

Objective: The objective of the present study was to develop solid self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (S-SMEDDS) of diacerein (DCN) for enhancement of dissolution rate. Methods: Three batches of liquid SMEDDS were prepared using oleic acid, Tween 80, and polyethylene glycol 200 as oil, surfactant, and cosurfactant, respectively. Microemulsion region was recognized by constructing a pseudoternary phase diagram containing a different proportion of oil, surfactant, and cosurfactant. Prepared liquid SMEDDS was evaluated for thermodynamic stability study, dispersibility tests, globule size, zeta potential, and viscosity. Liquid SMEDDS was then converted to S-SMEDDS by adsorption technique using Neusilin US2 as a solid carrier. Prepared S-SMEDDS was evaluated for different micromeritic properties, drug content, reconstitution properties, in vitro dissolution study, Fourier transform infrared, and scanning electron microscopy. Results: The results showed that all batches of liquid SMEDDS were found to be thermodynamically stable. Reconstitution properties of S-SMEDDS showed spontaneous microemulsification with globule size 0.271 μm and −16.18 mV zeta potential. From the results of in vitro dissolution study, it was found that the release of DCN was significantly increased as compared with plain DCN. Conclusion: The study concluded that dissolution rate of poorly water-soluble drug like DCN can be increased by developing S-SMEDDS formulation.

The main purpose of development pharmaceutical dosage form is to find out the in vivo and in vitro behavior of dosage form. This challenge is overcome by implementation of in-vivo and in-vitro correlation. Application of this technique is economical and time saving in dosage form development. It shortens the period of development dosage form as well as improves product quality. IVIVC reduce the experimental study on human because IVIVC involves the in vivo relevant media utilization in vitro specifications. The key goal of IVIVC is to serve as alternate for in vivo bioavailability studies and serve as justification for bio waivers. IVIVC follows the specifications and relevant quality control parameters that lead to improvement in pharmaceutical dosage form development in short period of time. Recently in-vivo in-vitro correlation (IVIVC) has found application to predict the pharmacokinetic behaviour of pharmaceutical preparations. It has emerged as a reliable tool to find the mode of absorption of several dosage forms. It is used to correlate the in-vitro dissolution with in vivo pharmacokinetic profile. IVIVC made use to predict the bioavailability of the drug of particular dosage form. IVIVC is satisfactory for the therapeutic release profile specifications of the formulation. IVIVC model has capability to predict plasma drug concentration from in vitro dissolution media.

The content of this investigation was to study the influence of β-cyclodextrin and hydroxy propyl-β-cyclodextrin complexation on enhancement of solubility and dissolution rate of isradipine. Based on preliminary phase solubility studies, solid complexes prepared by freeze drying method in 1:1 molar ratio were selected and characterized by DSC for confirmation of complex formation. Prepared solid dispersions were evaluated for drug content, solubility and in vitro dissolution. The physical stability of optimized formulation was studied at refrigerated and room temperature for 2 months. Solid state characterization of optimized complex performed by DSC and XRD studies.  Dissolution rate of isradipine was increased compared with pure drug and more with HP-β-CD inclusion complex than β-CD. DSC and XRD analyzes that drug was in amorphous form, when the drug was incorporated as isradipine β-CD and HP-β-CD inclusion complex. Stability studies resulted in low or no variations in the percentage of complexation efficiency suggesting good stability of molecular complexes. The results conclusively demonstrated that the enhancement of solubility and dissolution rate of isradipine by drug-cyclodextrin complexation was achieved.
