Fenofibrate (FN) is used in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia. It shows poor dissolution and poor oral bioavailability after oral administration due to high liphophilicity and low aqueous solubility. Hence, solid dispersions (SDs) of FN (FN-SDs) were develop that might enhance the dissolution and subsequently oral bioavailability. FN-SDs were prepared by solvent casting method using different carriers (PEG 4000, PEG 6000, β cyclodextrin and HP β cyclodextrin) in different proportions (0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75% and 1% w/v). FN-SDs were evaluated solubility, assay and in vitro release studies for the optimization of SD formulation. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis was performed for crystalline and morphology analysis, respectively. Further, optimized FN-SD formulation evaluated for pharmacokinetic performance in Wistar rats, in vivo in comparison with FN suspension.  From the results, FN-SD3 and FN-SD6 have showed 102.9 ±1.3% and 105.5±3.1% drug release, respectively in 2 h. DSC and PXRD studies revealed that conversion of crystalline to amorphous nature of FN from FT-SD formulation. SEM studies revealed the change in the orientation of FN when incorporated in SDs. The oral bioavailability FN-SD3 and FN-SD6 formulations exhibited 2.5-folds and 3.1-folds improvement when compared to FN suspension as control. Overall, SD of FN could be considered as an alternative dosage form for the enhancement of oral delivery of poorly water-soluble FN.

Rosuvastatin Calcium

Background: Rosuvastatin calcium is a statin class of drug having limited oral bioavailability of about 20%. This problem might be overcome by making the biform complex using cow ghee fraction as a bioavailability enhancer. Methods: A precise thermal fractionation technique was adopted to separate different fatty acids from cow ghee. Collected fractions were subjected to characterization over parameters reported for fatty acids. LC-MS and FTIR confirm the content variation in the collected fraction. Biform complex was prepared by fusion method with a constant ratio of drug and cow ghee fraction. The prepared complex was subjected to FTIR, DSC, and LC-MS study to confirm chemical composition characteristics. Drug content, in-vitro and ex-vivo permeation studies were also performed. The anti-inflammatory response was measured using the carrageenan paw-induced edema rat model. Lipid-lowering effect and inflammation marker analysis was also performed using ELISA specific kit. Results: The biform complex prepared with a thermal fraction at 30ºC of cow ghee show the highest in-vitro and ex-vivo permeation. The anti-inflammation response of the biform complex F1 was higher than other tested formulations with considerable lipid and lipoprotein lowering properties. Conclusions: This study confirms that the thermal fractionation method abled to separate cow ghee as per their fatty acid content. The complexion of rosuvastatin calcium with cow ghee thermal fraction enhances oral bioavailability followed by the anti-inflammatory and lipid-lowering activity.

Background: Olmesartan medoxomil (OLM) is a promising prodrug hydrolyzed to olmesartan (OL) during absorption from the gastrointestinal tract. OL is a selective angiotensin II receptor antagonist, with high drug resistance and low drug interaction. However, OLM has low solubility and low bioavailability. Therefore, it is extremely urgent to reduce the drug particle size to improve its biological bioavailability. Objective: The aim of the study was to improve the oral bioavailability of poorly water-soluble olmesartan medoxomil (OLM) by using different particle size-reduction strategies. Method: Raw drug material was micronized or nanosized by either jet or wet milling processes, respectively. The particle sizes of the prepared nanocrystals (100-300 nm) and microcrystals (0.5-16 μm) were characterized by DLS, SEM, and TEM techniques. Solid state characterization by XPRD and DSC was used to confirm the crystalline state of OLM after the milling processes. Results: We demonstrated that OLM nanocrystals enhanced solubility and dissolution in the non-sink condition in which high sensitivity was found in purified water. After 1 h, 65.4% of OLM was dissolved from nanocrystals, while microcrystals and OLMETEC® only showed 37.8% and 31.9% of drug dissolution, respectively. In the pharmacokinetic study using Beagle dogs, an increase in Cmax (～2 fold) and AUC (～1.6 fold) was observed after oral administration of OLM nanocrystals when compared to microcrystals and reference tablets, OLMETEC®. In contrast, OLM microcrystals failed to improve the oral bioavailability of the drugs. Conclusion: Particles size reduction to nano-scale by means of nanocrystals technology significantly increased in vitro dissolution rate and in vivo oral bioavailability of OLM.

The aim of the investigation was to develop and evaluate thermoreversible in situ nasal gel formulations of repaglinide (REP) and to establish correlation between its in vitro release and ex vivo permeation profiles. The solubility of REP was enhanced by preparing solid dispersions (SDs) with hydrophilic carriers (PVP K30/ PEG 6000/ poloxamer 188) in different weight ratios. REP: PVP K30 (1:5) was selected as the optimized SD as it showed highest enhancement in solubility (405%). The optimized SD was characterized by SEM and DSC and incorporated into a blend of thermoreversible and mucoadhesive polymers (poloxamer 407 and carbopol 934 P) by cold technique to form in situ gels (F1-F6). The prepared in-situ gels were evaluated for various pharmacotechnical features and the formulation F3 exhibited least gelling time of 6.1± 0.20, good mucoadhesive property to ensure sufficient residence time at the site of application and a %CDR of 82.25%. The ex vivo permeation characteristics across goat mucosa can be summarized as CDP of 78.7%, flux = 6.80 mg/cm2/h; permeability coefficient of 2.02 mg/h and zero order kinetics. On correlating the CDR profile of F3 with that of its CDP profile, a R2 value of 0.991 (slope= 0.921) was observed. The value of slope approximating one, suggested that almost entire amount of drug released from F3 was capable of permeating across the nasal mucosa, ex-vivo indicating that in-situ nasal gels of REP for systemic action can be successfully developed for the management non-insulin dependent type-II diabetes mellitus.

The poor solubility of drug substances in water and their low dissolution rate in aqueous G.I.T fluid often leads to insufficient bioavailability. As per Biopharmaceutical Classification System (BCS), Olmesartan belongs to the class-II category having poor solubility and high permeability. Since only dissolved drug can pass the gastrointestinal membrane, the proper solubility of the drug is ultimately desired. Its oral bioavailability is 26%. Hence, an attempt was made to enhance its solubility by formulating solid dispersions using different techniques viz., Melting, Kneading, Co-precipitation, Solvent evaporation and Physical mixing etc., Drug and carrier (Urea) in different ratios like 1: 1, 1: 2, 1: 3 and 1:4 were used for formulating solid dispersions. The compatibility of the drug with the carrier was checked by FTIR studies, these results revealed that there was no interaction between them. The angle of repose, bulk density, tapped density; Carr’s index and Hausner ratio were calculated for the micrometric characterization of all the solid dispersions. The drug content was found to be high and uniform in all formulations. The prepared Solid dispersion SEM4 (1:4) showed minimal wetting time of 13 seconds compared with the other formulations. In vitro dissolution, release studies in Phosphate buffer pH of 6.8 revealed that the prepared solid dispersions showed faster drug release compared with the pure drug.  The in vitro dissolution profile showed ascendency on increasing the carrier concentration

Abstract The therapeutic potential of atazanavir (BCS Class II drug), a highly selective inhibitor of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) has been largely limited due to its low intrinsic solubility at elevated pH resulting in low oral bioavailability. Thus, the current work describes the systematic development, optimization and evaluation of HPMC-AS based supersaturable preconcentrate isotropic mixture (SP-IM) containing long chain triglyceride to improve intestinal lymphatic transport and augment oral bioavailability of atazanavir (ATZ). A D-optimal mixture design was employed for optimization of plain IM containing Corn Oil, Oleic acid, Tween 80 and Propylene Glycol, evaluating CQAs like particle size, PDI, self-emulsification time, % transmittance and drug content. In-silico analysis and in-vitro supersaturation test facilitated the selection of HPMC-AS as a best suited polymeric precipitation inhibitor (PPI) for formulating ATZ loaded SP-IM (ATZ-SP-IM). In-vitro dissolution data indicated that ATZ-SP-IM exhibits superior performance in 0.025N HCl and pH 6.8 over pure drug. Ex-vivo permeation and in-vivo pharmacokinetic study of ATZ-SP-IM corroborated enhanced permeation (2.03 fold) and improved drug absorption via lymphatic transport in wistar rats. Further, the pharmacokinetic performance of ATZ-SP-IM was not affected in presence of H2 receptor antagonist. Therefore, the results showed that ATZ-SP-IM can significantly improve the biopharmaceutical attributes of ATZ so as to lay a foundation of further research on the new dosage form of ATZ.
