Solid dispersions of ofloxacin (OFX) and of a number of carriers including chitosan and the water soluble polymers polyethylene glycol (PEG) 4000, PEG 20000, and polyvinylpyrrolidone K- 90 were prepared by solvent evaporation method in order to increase the dissolution of the drug. The solid dispersions were subjected to X-ray diffraction, DSC, and dissolution to characterize their physicochemical and dissolution properties. The results demonstrated a decrease in drug crystallinity at higher amounts of carrier. Dissolution studies indicated that the dissolution rate of OFX was markedly increased in these solid dispersion systems compared with the pure drug. The results also showed that the increase in dissolution rate was higher when the weight fraction of carriers increased. An influence of molecular weight of PEG on OFX dissolution could also be observed. In solid dispersion with 1:9 ratio drug to carrier, PEG 4000 gave highest drug dissolution rate, whereas in 1:1 ratio, chitosan seems to be the best carrier for drug release. It was concluded that chitosan might be the carrier of choice for dissolution enhancement in solid dispersions with high content of drug.

The aim of the present study was to improve the solubility and dissolution rate of a poorly water-soluble drug by a solid dispersion technique, in order to investigate the effect of these polymers on release mechanism from solid dispersions. Diazepam was used as a model drug to evaluate its release characteristics from different matrices. Solid dispersions were prepared by using polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG-6000), HPMC, HPC and Poloxamer in different drug-to-carrier ratios (1:2, 1:4, 1:6, 1:8, 1:10). The solid dispersions were prepared by solvent method. The pure drug and solid dispersions were characterized by in vitro dissolution study. Distilled water was used as dissolution media, 1000 ml of distilled water was used as dissolution medium in each dissolution basket at a temperature of 37°C and a paddle speed of 100 rpm. The very slow dissolution rate was observed for pure Diazepam and the dispersion of the drug in the polymers considerably enhanced the dissolution rate. This can be attributed to improved wettability and dispersibility, as well as decrease of the crystalline and increase of the amorphous fraction of the drug. SEM (Scanning Electron microscope) studies shows that the solid dispersion having a uniform dispersion. Solid dispersions prepared with PEG-6000, Poloxamer showed the highest improvement in wettability and dissolution rate of Diazepam. Solid dispersion containing polymer prepared with solvent method showed significant improvement in the release profile as compared to pure drug, Diazepam.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/icpj.v1i12.12453 International Current Pharmaceutical Journal 2012, 1(12): 423-430

Insoluble Polymers

In recent decades, solid dispersions have been demonstrated as an effective approach for improving the bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs, as have solid dispersion techniques that include the application of nanotechnology. Many studies have reported on the ability to change drug crystallinity and molecular interactions to enhance the dissolution rate of solid dispersions using hydrophilic carriers. However, numerous studies have indicated that insoluble carriers are also promising excipients in solid dispersions. In this report, an overview of solid dispersion strategies involving insoluble carriers has been provided. In addition to the role of solubility and dissolution enhancement, the perspectives of the use of these polymers in controlled release solid dispersions have been classified and discussed. Moreover, the compatibility between methods and carriers and between drug and carrier is mentioned. In general, this report on solid dispersions using insoluble carriers could provide a specific approach and/or a selection of these polymers for further formulation development and clinical applications.

Aceclofenac is a potent anti-inflammatory analgesic agent indicated for acute and chronic treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, ostio arthritis, and onkylosing spondylytis. Aceclofenac is poorly water soluble and may show dissolution limited absorption. Solid dispersions (SDs) of Aceclofenac in PEG-6000, PVP were prepared by solvent evaporation method. The solid dispersion was characterized for physical appearance, solubility and IR. FTIR study reveled that drug was stable in SDs. Solubility of Aceclofenac from SDs increased in distilled water. The drug content was found to be high and uniformly distributed in the all formulation. Dissolution of drug increased from all the solid dispersion. Dissolution of Aceclofenac increased with increase in the proportion of carriers (1:1, 1:5, and 1:9). Of both the carriers used, dissolution of the drug was more in PEG 6000 based SDs. It is concluded that dissolution of the Aceclofenac could be improved by solid dispersion and PEG 6000 based solid dispersions were more effective in the enhancing the dissolution.

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.
