Bromocriptine mesylate is a semisynthetic ergot alkaloid derivative with potent dopaminergic activity, used in the treatment of pituitary tumors, Parkinson's disease (PD), hyperprolactinaemia, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, and type 2 diabetes ,the oral bioavailability is  approximately 6%, therefore aim  its  prepare and evaluate bromocriptine mesylate  as liquid self nano emulsifying drug delivery system to enhance its solubility , dissolution and stability . Solubility study was made in different vehicles to select the best excipients for dissolving bromocriptine mesylate. Pseudo-ternary phase diagrams were constructed at 1:1, 2:1, 3:1 and 4:1 ratios of surfactant and co-surfactant, four formulations were prepared using various concentrations of castor oil, tween 80 and ethanol. All prepared formulations were evaluated for particle size distribution, polydispersity index, drug content, thermodynamic stability, dispersibility and emulsification time, robustness to dilution and in vitro drug dissolution. It was found that release rate and extent for all prepared formulations were significantly higher (p < 0.05) than plain drug powder. from the study, it was concluded that self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system is a promising approach to improve solubility, dissolution, and stability of bromocriptine mesylate.

Piroxicam (PIR) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug of oxicam category, used in gout, arthritis, as well as other inflammatory conditions (topically and orally). PIR is practically insoluble in water, therefore the aim is prepare and evaluate piroxicam as liquid self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system to enhance its dispersibility and stability. The Dispersibilty and Stability study have been conducted in Oil, Surfactant and Co-surfactant for choosing the best materials to dissolve piroxicam. The pseudo ternary phase diagrams have been set at 1:1, 2:1, 3:1 as well as 4:1 ratio of surfactants and co-surfactants, also there are 4 formulations were prepared by using various concentrations of transcutol HP, cremophore EL and triacetin oil. All the constructed prepared formulas have been assessed for in vitro drug dissolution, thermodynamic stability, polydispersity index, robustness to dilution, particle size distribution, drug content, and the dispersibility and emulsification time.From the presented research concluded that the self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system is the convenient method for improving Dispersibilty and Stability of piroxicam.  Keywords: Pseudo-ternary phase diagram, Dissolution rate, SNEDDS, Piroxicam.

The aim of the present study was to develop self-emulsifying drug delivery system (SEDDS) of aceclofenac for potential improvement in the in vitro dissolution. The Food and Drug Control Agency (FDCA) has put more stress on the quality, safety and efficacy of the dosage form. The use of design of experiments and quality by Design (QbD) in the development of self emulsifying drug delivery system (SEDDS) containing aceclofenac is demonstrated. The optimum formulation contained Labrafil M 1944 CS, Tween 80 and Transcutol P. The systematic approach enabled us in identifying the design space. The results revealed that while devising the control strategies during manufacturing, more attention should be focused on the ratios of oil to surfactant and surfactant to co-surfactant. The drug was released at a faster rate due to a large surface area. The current approach enabled us to develop a dosage form which is economic, patient-friendly and does not require assistance of a doctor or nurse, especially at remote places at odd hours.

Spironolactone is aldosterone antagonist drug belonging to the category of potassium sparing diuretics administered orally that has absolute bioavailability of only 68% due to the poor aqueous solubility. The main aim of the present work was to develop a self emulsifying drug delivery system (SEDDS) to enhance the oral absorption of spironolactone. The solubility of spironolactone in various oils, surfactants, and co surfactants was determined. Pseudo ternary phase diagrams were constructed using castor oil, Tween 80, and polyethylene glycol 400, and distilled water to identify the efficient self-micro emulsion region. Prepared self emulsifying drug delivery system was further evaluated for its emulsification time, drug content, optical clarity, droplet size, zeta potential, in vitro drug release. The results showed that 96.16% drug was released from the SEDDS formulation in 3 hrs. This demonstrated an enhancement in the drug release and thereby, absorption of the drug through the membrane, this was significantly higher than that of the plain drug suspension. Thus, the above findings support that the utility of SEDDS to enhance solubility and dissolution of poorly water soluble compounds which may result in improved Therapeutic performance.
