The aim of present study is to investigate the potential of nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) in improving the oral bioavailability of quetiapine fumarate, a second-generation antipsychotic drug. Quetiapine Fumarate (QF) loaded NLC were prepared by hot homogenization followed by an ultrasonication method. Response surface methodology - central composite design (CCD) was used to systemically examine the influence of concentration of capmul MCM EP, concentration of poloxamer 188 and concentration of egg lecithin on particle size (PS) and % entrapment efficiency (% EE) and to optimize the NLC formulation. The CCD consists of three factored design with five levels, plus and minus alpha (axial points), plus and minus 1 (factorial points) and the centre point. A mathematical relationship between variables was created by using Design Expert software Version 12. The statistical evaluations revealed that three independent variables were the important factors that affected the PS and % EE of QF loaded NLC. The best fitted mathematical model was linear and quadratic for PS and % EE respectively. The optimized formulations found with 218.1±0.14nm of PS and 93±0.16% of % EE. Results illustrated the superiority of developed QF loaded NLC formulation as a stable drug delivery system, providing better bioavailability with the possibility of better treatment for psychological disorders.

The aim of study was to develop self-nanoemulsifying systems of poorly water-soluble drug repaglinide, which is an antidiabetic drug in the class of medications known as meglitinides. Solubility of repaglinide in oily phases and surfactants was determined to identify components of self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS). Surfactants and oil was selected based on solubility studies were further screened for their efficiency in formulation. Acrysol K 150, Kolliphor EL and Capmul MCM were selected as oil, surfactant and co-surfactant respectively. Formulation F8 was found to be optimized formulation on the basis of in vitro dissolution studies, particle size and zeta potential. The optimized formulation was then subjected to stability studies and was found to be stable after 6 months. Thus, SNEDDS were found to be influential in improving the release performance of repaglinide, indicating their potential to improve the solubility and oral bioavailability of repaglinide.

The purpose of present study was aimed at developing self emulsifying drug delivery system in liquid and then in pellet form that would result in improved solubility, dissolution and permeability of the poorly water soluble drug carvedilol. Pellets were prepared using extrusion-spheronization technique incorporating liquid SEDDS (carvedilol, capmul MCM EP, cremophore EL, tween 20, propylene glycol), adsorbents ( and crospovidone), microcrystalline cellulose and binder (povidone K-30). Ternary phase diagram was constructed to identify different oil-surfactant-cosurfactant mixtures according to the proportion of each point in it. The optimal CAR-SEDDS pellets showed a quicker redispersion with a droplet size of the reconstituted microemulsion being 160.47 nm, which was almost unchanged after solidification. SEM analysis confirmed good spherical appearance of solid pellets; DSC and XRD analysis confirmed that there was no crystalline carvedilol in the pellets. Pellets were then capable of transferring lipophilic compounds into the aqueous phase and significantly enhancing its release with respect to pure drug.

In this review study about the polymeric nanoparticles and how polymer based nanoparticles increase bioavailability of less water soluble drugs. Polymeric nanoparticles have a matrix of biodegradable and biocompatible polymers of synthetic and natural origin. Polymer based nanoparticles are very useful for increase the solubility of the poor water-soluble drugs by decrease the particles size. Polymeric nanoparticles are very useful for targeting the drug to the specific site. Polymeric nanoparticles are also used to maintain and control the release of the drug. In present review study on the type of polymer used for the preparation of the polymer based nanoparticles. The choice of method depends on a number of factors, such as, particles size, area of application and characterization of polymeric nanoparticles.
