The influence of microwave technology and modified gum kondagogu (MGK) on the in vitro dissolution rate of a poorly - water soluble drug repaglinide (RG) was studied. Solid dispersions were prepared using gum kondagogu (GK) & MGK as a carrier by microwave method. Microwave generated solid dispersions with MGK exhibited remarkable improvement in solubility and dissolution rate compared to that of pure RG. In conclusion, microwave method together with MGK as a potential carrier could be considered as simple, efficient and solvent free promising alternative method to prepare solid dispersions.

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to enhance solubility and dissolution characteristics of indomethacin by preparing inclusion complexes with hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin (HP β-CD) and solid dispersions with PEG 6000 to enhance its in vitro drug release and to further formulate it as a tabletMethods: Solid dispersions (SDs) and inclusion complexes (ICs) of Indomethacin with PEG 6000 and HP β-CD respectively were prepared to enhance the dissolution rate of this poorly water-soluble drug belonging to BCS class II. A comparison was made between two systems: solid dispersions with PEG 6000 obtained using melting and solvent evaporation technique, inclusion complexes with HP β-CD prepared by kneading technique. SDs were prepared in 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 and ICs in 1:0.25, 1:0.5, 1:1 w/w ratios of drug: polymer. Both the systems were characterized by FTIR, SEM, DSC, X-RD.Results: The dissolution of indomethacin increased with the increase in the concentration of the polymers. F4 and F9 formulations showed complete drug release in less than 30 min. Dissolution studies indicated that cyclodextrin complexes showed a better enhancement of dissolution rate when compared to solid dispersions. CDs were found to be more effective than PEGs at lower concentrations. These formulations were further compressed as tablets.Conclusion: The FTIR and DSC studies showed that no interactions existed between the drug and the polymer.

The low aqueous solubility of celecoxib (CB) and thus its low bioavailability is a problem.    Thus, it is suggested to improve the solubility using cosolvency and solid dispersions techniques. Pure CB has solubility of 6.26±0.23µg/ml in water but increased solubility of CB was observed with increasing concentration of cosolvents like PEG 400, ethanol and propylene glycol. Highest solubility (791.06±15.57mg/ml) was observed with cosolvency technique containing the mixture of composition 10:80:10%v/v of water: PEG 400: ethanol. SDs with different polymers like PVP, PEG were prepared and subjected to physicochemical characterization using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), solubility and dissolution studies. These studies reveals that CB exists mainly in amorphous form in prepared solid dispersions of PVP, PEG4000 and PEG6000 further it can also be confirmed by solubility and dissolution rate studies. Solid dispersions of PV5 and PV9 have shown highest saturation solubility and dissolution rate

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.

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.

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.

Crystalline state compounds are typically dissolution rate limited and dissolution rate is directly proportional to the solubility for BCS class II or class IV compounds. Solid dispersions are one of the most promising strategies to improve the oral bioavailability poorly water soluble drugs. The purpose of this study was to increase solubility of carvedilol by solid dispersion (SDs) technique with Poloxamer (PXM) 407 in aqueous media. The carvedilol- PXM 407 solid dispersion was prepared by solvent evaporation, kneading and melting method. It was characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transformation infra-red spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and in vitro dissolution studies. The prepared solid dispersion were found to have higher dissolution rates as compared to intact carvedilol. During formulation of solid dispersion crystalline to amorphous transition has been observed.

Objective: The current research focuses on solubility enhancement of poorly water-soluble drug telmisartan, using novel superdisintegrants such as Entada scandens seed starch and Poloxamer-188. Starches yielded from plants are pharmaceutically useful as binders, diluents, disintegrants, and lubricants.Methods: Starches were extracted from E. scandens seed powder using alkali method (sodium hydroxide at 0.1%, 0.25%, and 0.5% concentrations) and water. These starches were subjected for the evaluation of various physicochemical properties and phytochemical tests.Results: The phytochemical tests revealed the presence of only starch in all the extracts. Of all the starches, the starch prepared from 0.5% sodium hydroxide (ESS4) showed best physicochemical properties. Solid dispersions were prepared using telmisartan, poloxamer-188, and starch (ESS4) in various concentrations using fusion technique. Various pre-formulation parameters were evaluated. From in vitro dissolution studies, it was observed that the solid dispersion formulation TP7 containing telmisartan and poloxamer-188 in 1:4 ratios showed better dissolution rate. Solid dispersion TPS7 containing TP7 formulation and 15% w/w of alkali extracted starch showed faster disintegration and enhanced dissolution rate than the solid dispersions prepared alone with poloxamer-188. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetric studies for optimized formulations revealed that there were no major interactions between the drug and excipients. X-ray diffraction studies revealed the crystalline and amorphous nature of formulations.Conclusion: Thus, the solid dispersions prepared using E. scandens seed starch revealed the superdisintegrant property of starch.

Calcium carbonate is an abundant mineral with several advantages to be a successful carrier to improve oral bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs, such as praziquantel. Praziquantel is an antiparasitic drug classified in group II of the Biopharmaceutical Classification System hence characterized by high-permeability and low-solubility. Therefore, the dissolution rate is the limiting factor for the gastrointestinal absorption that contributes to the low bioavailability. Consequently, the therapeutic dose of the praziquantel must be high and big tablets and capsules are required, which are difficult to swallow, especially for pediatric and elderly patients. Mixtures of praziquantel and calcium carbonate using solid-solid physical mixtures and solid dispersions were prepared and characterized using several techniques (X-ray diffraction differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, laser diffraction, Fourier transform infrared and Raman spectroscopies). Solubility of these formulations evidenced that the solubility of praziquantel-calcium carbonate interaction product increased in physiological media. In vitro dissolution tests showed that the interaction product increased the dissolution rate of the drug in acidic medium. Theoretical models were studied to understand this experimental behavior. Cytotoxicity and cell cycle studies were performed, showing that praziquantel-calcium carbonate physical mixture and interaction product were biocompatible with the HTC116 cells, because it did not produce a decrease in cell viability or alterations in the cell cycle.
