The poor dissolution characteristics of biopharmaceutical class II drugs are a major concern for scientists in thepharmaceutical industry. Solid dispersion is introduced as a novel method for enhancement of solubility. Class IIdrugs are low solubility and high permeability according to the biopharmaceutical classification system and arepromising candidates for improving solubility and bioavailability through solid dispersion. The purpose of the present attempt is to prepare a solid dispersion of curcumin and porous starch in order to increase the solubility and dissolution of drugs that are poorlysoluble. Solid dispersions (SDs) of BCS-II drugs were prepared by ball milling in ratio of drug: polymer i.e. curcumin: porous starch (1:0.5, 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3). Further, SDs were investigated by solubility, FTIR, XRD, DSC, micromeritics, and in-vitro dissolution. . Conclusively, porous starch offers a hydrophilic matrix to deliver poorwater soluble drugs and Solid dispersion system have demonstrated an improved performance. Solid dispersionsystem have demonstrated an improved performance

The aim of the present investigation was to prepare solid dispersion (SD) of the water insoluble drug. Loratadine using super disintegrants as carrier and formulate it as fast dissolving tablets (FDTs) with an objective to improve solubility and enhance dissolution of drug. The SD’s of the drug were prepared by melt dispersion technique using polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000 in diferent ratios 1 : 2.5, 1 : 5 and 1 : 7.5. The prepared SD formulations were characterized for equilibrium solubility, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and in vitro dissolution study. The batch containing SD formulation of loratadine showed fastest dissolution (99.87% drug release in 60 min). In this study, fast dissolving tablets were prepared by direct compression method using Croscarmellose sodium, sodium starch glycolate and polyplasdone XL as the super disintegrants. Effect of various super disintegrants on dissolution behavior of tablets was evaluated in phosphate buffer pH 6.8.

Background: Difficulty in swallowing tablet dosage form is common among all ages people, especially old and pediatrics. Fast dissolving oral films (FDOFs) may represent an innovative dosage type that settles the issue of gulping and supply fast onset of action. Objective: The objective of the present investigation was to increase the solubility of poorly soluble Glipizide (BCS Class II) by solid dispersion technique and develop its FDOFs. Methods: A solvent evaporation process was used to make a solid dispersion of the Glipizide. The saturation solubility of glipizide and its solid dispersion was determined in a different solvent. For the film preparation, solvent casting method was chosen. The excipients were selected based on pre-formulation data. The composition of the film was optimized based on a trial-and-error basis using different concentrations of plasticizer. The average weight, thickness, disintegration time, tensile strength, surface pH, folding endurance, drug content, and in-vitro dissolution analysis of the films were all taken into consideration. Results: There was no incompatibility between drug / solid dispersion and the excipients. The solid dispersion of the glipizide showed improved solubility by almost 10 folds. Many of the formulated films disintegrated in less than 30 seconds. At the end of 5 minutes, the optimized film had released more than 90% of the compound. The prepared films were found to be stable at room temperature. Conclusion: The solubility of Glipizide was improved successfully by solubilization technique using soluplus. The FDOFs of the glipizide were successfully formulated using pullulan as polymer.

Ritonavir is an antiretroviral agent used in the treatment of HIV-infection. It is a BCS class IV drug having poor aqueous solubility leading to poor bioavailability. Bioavailability is the amount of drug that enters the systemic circulation. The bioavailability is affected by various factors like solubility, dissolution and stability. In order to improve bioavailability, many techniques like solid dispersions, nanoparticles, liposomes, encapsulation methods were present. The main aim of this study is to improve the bioavailability of ritonavir with the help of Polyvinyl Pyrrolidone (PVP) K-30 by using solid dispersion technique. Different formulations were made with varied concentrations of polymer. Characterization of solid dispersion was done by phase solubility, drug content, Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and in-vitro dissolution studies.  From phase solubility studies that apparent solubility constant was found to be 42.227M-1. The drug content of the binary system of ritonavir and PVP was found to be ranging from 99.17% to 103.06%. %. FT-IR studies revealed that there was no drastic change in the wave number indicating polymer compatibility with drug. In-vitro dissolution studies proved that there was an increase in drug release of ritonavir with incremental ratios of polymer and F5 formulation has shown almost 95% of drug release. Keywords: Bioavailability, Solid dispersion, Polyvinyl pyrrolidine, Solvent evaporation, Dissolution.

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.

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.
