In this study solid dispersion (SDs) of gliclazide were prepared by solvent evaporation technique using poloxamer 407 as carrier. Drug carrier weight ratio were 1:1, 1:3 and 1:5. Physical mixtures of the same ratio were also prepared for comparison. The solid dispersions were investigated for drug loading and dissolution behavior and were found effective to enhance the solubility of gliclazide in dissolution medium significantly. Evaluation of the properties of the SDs was also performed by using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies. The FTIR spectroscopic studies showed the stability of gliclazide and absence of interaction between gliclazide and poloxomer 407. The XRD studies indicated the amorphous state of gliclazide in SDs. Dissolution data of SDs were compared by using both model dependant and model independent techniques. No significant difference in % DE (dissolution efficiency) was found among the SDs. But the drug release rate from SDs differs from that of physical mixture. So, solid dispersion technique may be an effective way to enhance dissolution rate of gliclazide.

In this study solid dispersions (SDs) of ibuprofen were prepared by melt dispersion technique using macrogol 4000 and macrogol 6000 as carrier. Physical mixtures (PMs) of ibuprofen were also prepared with the same carrier and in the same drug-carrier ratio (1:0.5, 1:1 and 1:1.5) to compare the dissolution profile. The solid dispersions and physical mixtures were investigated for drug loading, saturation solubility and dissolution behavior. Saturation solubility study was carried out in phosphate buffer (pH 7.2), 0.1 N HCl solution and distilled water. Solid dispersions were found effective to enhance the solubility of ibuprofen significantly in all the media. Dissolution test was carried out in two different media, phosphate buffer (pH 7.2) and 0.1 N HCl. Solid dispersion containing macrogol 6000 at the ratio of 1:1.5 (drug: carrier) showed faster and higher drug release and was found to be most effective among all the solid dispersions. Drug carrier interactions were studied by comparing Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) of solid dispersions with pure drug which revealed that the SDs were stable. So, solid dispersion may be an effective technique to enhance dissolution rate of ibuprofen. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/dujps.v11i1.12480 Dhaka Univ. J. Pharm. Sci. 11(1): 1-6, 2012 (June)

The poor aqueous solubility of the drug exhibits in variable dissolution rate and hence poor bioavailability. Aceclofenac is poorly water soluble drug. The aim of the present study was to improve the water solubility and the dissolution rate of Aceclofenac by solid dispersion technique using different water soluble polymers. The term solid dispersions refer to the dispersions of one or more active ingredients in an inert carrier or matrix at solid state. In this study, binary solid dispersion of Aceclofenac were prepared by fusion method using Polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG 6000), Polyethylene glycol 4000 (PEG 4000), Poloxamer as carrier. Different drug-carrier weight ratio was used for this study. The effect of the carrier on the solubility and in-vitro dissolution were studied. It was found the drug was released 26.86% after 5 minutes and only 40.19% within 60 mins from active Aceclofenac on the other hand the release pattern of Aceclofenac from the binary SD formulation containing PEG 6000 in 1:5 ratio (Formulation coding: A5) showed the best result in comparison of other binary and ternary SD formulations which was 62.29% after 5 min and 83.03% within 60 mins. The hydrophilic polymers used for the preparation of solid dispersion are showed significant increase in the solubility of Aceclofenac.

Objective: The objective of the present work was to formulate the solid dispersions of simvastatin for enhancement of its aqueous solubility and dissolution rate. Methods: In the present study, solid dispersions of simvastatin were prepared by Kneading and Solvent evaporation methods. The polymeric carriers like Polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000 and Polyvinyl Pyrrolidone (PVP) K30 were used in different ratios (ratio of drug: carrier was 1:1, 1:2) to formulate solid dispersions. The prepared solid dispersions were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and evaluated for drug content, percentage yield, saturation solubility, in vitro dissolution studies. The best formula of the solid dispersion was selected according to the solubility and dissolution data. Results: The F7 formulation was found to be an optimized formulation containing PVP K30 in the ratio 1:1 prepared by solvent evaporation technique. The Drug content was found to be higher i.e. 94.89 in the F7 batch. The FT-IR spectra revealed that there was no interaction between drugs and carriers. DSC thermogram indicated entrapment of simvastatin in PVP K30 and the conversion of crystalline simvastatin into an amorphous form. The F7 formulation showed maximum drug release i.e. 98.60% in 60 min which is 2 times greater than pure drug making it an optimized formulation. Conclusion: The solubility of simvastatin was successfully enhanced through the solid dispersion technique. Solid dispersions prepared with solvent evaporation method were more soluble than solid dispersions prepared with kneading method with carrier PVP K30.

The purpose of this study was to enhance the dissolution rate of daidzein (DZ) by solid dispersions. DZ solid dispersion was prepared by solvent method, with PVP K30 and surfactant as carriers. The influences of drug-carrier proportion, the kind of surfactant and the amount of surfactant on the dissolution of DZ were examined. Solid dispersions were characterized by infrared spectroscopy (IR), X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, and dissolution tests. When appropriate amount of poloxamer was added into the solid dispersion, the dissolution of DZ could be improved obviously. The data of IR showed that the absence of well-defined drug-polymer interactions. The data of X-ray diffraction showed that the drug might exist in the form of amorphism or molecule in solid dispersions. Both the binary and ternary solid dispersions enhanced the dissolution of DZ. Moreover, poloxamer played an important positive role in improving the dissolution rate of DZ in the solid dispersion.

The present study aimed to enhance the dissolution rate, therefore bioavailability, of famotidine (FMT) using its solid dispersions (SDs) with polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP)-K 30, milk powder, and inulin, both in-vitro and in-vivo. The study was also aimed to compare the effect of different amorphous polymers in enhancing the dissolution rate of FMT. The SDs were prepared with a 1:4 weight ratio by a solvent evaporation technique. Evaluation of the properties of the SDs was performed using dissolution, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies. The SDs of FMT exhibited an enhanced dissolution rate. The FTIR spectroscopic studies showed the stability of FMT and the absence of well-defined drug excipient interaction. The XRD studies indicated the amorphous state of FMT in SDs. The drug release rate of all SDs formulation was found to be greater than the pure drug. Within one hour of dissolution studies, 99.43%, 92.5%, and 58.93% drug release were obtained, respectively, for PVP K-30, milk powder, and inulin. The first two were showing significantly higher release. SDs were also studied for bioavailability studies in-vivo in rats, which confirms that the SDs prepared by PVP K-30 and milk powder significantly enhancing the bioavailability of FMT. The maximum concentration of 15.05±2.45 μg/ml was achieved in 2 hours, and the area under the curve was found to be 33.78±7.3 μg. hour/ml. Therefore, the study results conclude that SDs of the FMT prepared by PVP K-30 successfully increases the dissolution and in-vivo bioavailability. Keywords – Solid dispersion, Second generation solid dispersions, Famotidine, In-vivo bioavailability, amorphous polymers, dissolution enhancement, solubility enhancement.
