The pharmaceutical development of solid dosage forms which containing a poor soluble substance deserves special attention, because a composition and a technology of production such drugs directly effects on release the active pharmaceutical ingredient in the human body and, as a consequence, on pharmacological effectiveness of this drug. The search of therapeutically effective, economically viable and industrially reproducible technology for the production of such drugs is very important for the pharmaceutical industry. The purpose of our work was the pharmaceutical development of the generic drug, which contains a poor soluble in water substance nimodipine. The subject of the research is the substance nimodipine and the samples of tablets obtained with the help of various technological methods from this substance. All analytical and pharmaco-technological researches were implemented according to generally accepted methods that accordance with the requirements of the State Pharmacopoeia of Ukraine. Laboratory batches were developed using technological methods of physical modification of a substance, such as: micronization, sonocrystalllization, solid dispersion by melting, solid dispersion by solvent evaporation, complexation with β-cyclodextrins. Researches of the comparative in vitro dissolution kinetics of substance nimodipin from these laboratory batches made it possible to establish optimal technology for the commercial production of a generic drug. Researches on influence quantity of disintegrant and lubricant in the composition of tablets on the pharmacopoeial parameters of the quality were done. According to the results of the pharmaceutical development, it can be argued that the use of the technological method for production a solid dispersion with the aid of a solvent is most appropriate for the production of tablets of a generic drug with a substance nimodipine, which is confirmed by the results of the comparative in vitro dissolution kinetics in three media and clinical trials. The required quantity of disintegrat (not less than 2.5% per tablet) and lubricant (not less than 0.4% per tablet) in the composition of generic tablets were defined.

The main objective of the present study was to enhance the solubility and dissolution rate of poorly water soluble aceclofenac using its solid dispersion with β-cyclodextrin. FTIR and DSC study was carried out to find out any incompatibility. The phase solubility of drug was carried out in 1, 2, 5, and 10% of β-cyclodextrin in distilled water. Kneading method and solvent evaporation method was use to prepared solid dispersion of aceclofenac and β-cyclodextrin. Different evaluation tests like solubility study in different solvents, PXRD and in vitro dissolution study of aceclofenac- β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex were carried out. The overall finding indicated that β-cyclodextrin is a desirable water soluble carrier, that helps in increasing solubility of drug. Due to its structural feature, β-cyclodextrin forms a good inclusion complex that decreases contact angle of drug with water molecules by increasing wetting properties. Hence, it can be concluded that, β-cyclodextrin is better water soluble carrier molecule in terms of its compatibility and increasing solubility behavior of poorly water soluble drug aceclofenac.

In this study, a sustainable HPLC-UV-DAD method was developed and validated for the determination of allopurinol in tablets and optimization of the dissolution test using factorial design. The separation of the analyte from the sample matrix was achieved in 3.01 minutes in a C8 column (4.6 mm X 150 mm X 5 μm), using mobile phase 0.1 mol L-1 HCl (25%) + ethanol (50%) + ultrapure water (25%) by UV detection at 249 nm. The method presented satisfactory analytical parameters of validation (specificity, selectivity, linearity, stability, precision, accuracy, and robustness), showing no matrix effects. The dissolution test was optimized by complete factorial design 23 and, the optimal conditions were: HCl 0.001 mol L-1, apparatus II (paddle) and 75 rpm. The analytical procedures and dissolution tests were applied to allopurinol tablets marketed in Bahia, Brazil, to evaluate the dissolution studies. The pharmaceuticals had similar dissolution profiles and first-order dissolution kinetics. This new and sustainable HPLC-UV-DAD method is friendly to the environment and can be used for the routine pharmaceutical analysis of allopurinol in fixed dosage forms.

The aim of the present study was to formulate solid dispersion (SD) of Mesalamine to enrich the aqueous solubility and dissolution rate. Mesalamine is used in the management of acute ulcerative colitis and for the prevention of relapse of active ulcerative colitis. In the present study, Solid dispersion of Mesalamine was prepared by Fusion and Solvent evaporation method with different polymers. SD’s were characterized by % practical yield, drug content, Solubility, FT-IR, PXRD (Powder X- ray diffractometry), SEM (Scanning electron microscopy), in vitro dissolution studies and Stability studies. The percent drug release of prepared solid dispersion of Mesalamine by fusion and solid dispersion method (FM47, FM67, SE47 and SE67) in 1:7 ratio was found 81.36±0.41, 86.29±0.64, 82.45±0.57and 87.25±1.14 respectively. The aqueous solubility and percent drug release of solid dispersion of Mesalamine by both methods was significantly increased. The PXRD demonstrated that there was a significant decrease in crystallinity of pure drug present in the solid dispersions, which resulted in an increased aqueous solubility and dissolution rate of Mesalamine.The significant increase in aqueous solubility and dissolution rate of Mesalamine was observed in solid dispersion as the crystallinity of the drug decreased, absence of aggregation and agglomeration, increased wetability and good dispersibility after addition of PEG 4000 and PEG 6000.
