Poorly Soluble

The solubility of a solute is the maximum quantity of solute that can dissolve in a certain quantity of solvent or quantity of solution at a specified temperature. Solubility is one of the important parameter to achieve desired concentration of drug in systemic circulation for pharmacological response to be shown. Solubility is essential for the therapeutic effectiveness of the drug, independent of the route of administration. Low aqueous solubility is the major problem encountered with formulation development of new chemical entities as well as for the generic development. Poorly soluble drugs are often a challenging task for formulators in the industry Conventional  approaches  for  enhancement  of  solubility  have  limited  applicability,  especially when  the  drugs  are  poorly  soluble  simultaneously  in  aqueous  and  in  non-aqueous  media. Drug with poor water solubility cause slow dissolution rates, generally show erratic and incomplete absorption leading to low bioavailability when administered orally. Solubilization may be affected by cosolvent water  interaction, micellar solubilization, reduction in  particle  size,  inclusion  complexes,  solid  dispersion,  and  change  in  polymorph.  Some  new technologies  are  also  available  to  increase  the  solubility  like  micro emulsion,  self-emulsifying drug  delivery  system  and  supercritical  fluid  technology. This present review details about the different approaches used for the enhancement of the solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs include particle size reduction, nanonization, pH adjustment, solid dispersion, complexation, co‐solvency, hydrotropy etc. The purpose of this article is to describe the techniques of solubilization for the attainment of effective absorption and improved bioavailability.

Background: The phenomenon which gives rise to a homogenous system, formed by the dissolution of solute in a solvent is known as solubility. Low solubility is the limiting factor in formulation development. Diclofenac being BCS class II drug have low aqueous solubility of 0.00401mg/ml. Amongst various solubility enhancement techniques, solid dispersion is the easiest one. Objective: Present work is primarily focused on the development of solid dispersions of diclofenac through solvent evaporation technique utilizing Eudragit E100 as a carrier. Methods: Solid dispersion consists of at least one active pharmaceutical ingredient as a carrier in solid state. Various methods for preparing solid dispersions includes melt extrusion, fusion lyophilization, spray drying, solvent evaporation, and super critical fluid (SCF) technology. Solvent evaporation technique is used among various solid dispersion methods. Conclusion: The enhanced solubility found to be 0.485mg/ml. The dissolution was performed using USP Type II apparatus was %CDR of pure drug and its solid dispersion in 8 hr were found out to be 45.14926% and 98.04758% respectively. Henceforth, solid dispersion technique results marked solubility enhancement of diclofenac sodium.

Poorly Water Soluble

The solubility behavior of drugs remains one of the most exigent aspects in formulation development. With the advent of combinatorial chemistry and high throughput screening, the number of poorly water soluble compounds has dramatically increased.  Among all the newly discovered chemical entities, about 40-45% drugs fail to reach market due to their poor water solubility. Because of solubility problem, bioavailability of drugs gets affected and hence solubility enhancement becomes necessary. Solid dispersions have attracted considerable interest as an efficient means of improving the dissolution rate and hence the bioavailability of drugs. Therefore, the application of this technique proves to be an important stratagem for pharmaceutical companies. However, the in - depth knowledge of the solid dispersion is desired for the scale up of formulation, from laboratory scale to industrial scale. There are various methods available to improve the solubility of the new drug in which solid dispersion emerged promising. A Solid dispersion generally composed of two components- the drug and the polymer matrix. Hence, this approach is expected to form a basis for the commercialization of many poorly water-soluble and water-insoluble drugs in their solid-dispersion formulations in the near future. This article reviews the various preparation techniques, carriers used, advantages and limitations of solid dispersions and compiles some of the recent advances.

Background and objective: Low aqueous solubility of active pharmaceutical ingredients has an effect on both formulation development and bioavailability. Nimodipine is an antihypertensive agent with low oral bioavailability, which might be attributed to the extremely poor water solubility. This study aimed to increase the solubility of nimodipine in water using hydrotropes and solid dispersion technology to increase dissolution rate compared to the marketed drug product. Methods: Solubility of nimodipine was determined separately in sodium acetate, sodium citrate, sodium benzoate, and niacinamide solutions at a concentration of 10, 20, 30, and 40% w/v using distilled water as a solvent. The highest solubility was obtained in 40% sodium benzoate solution. Mixed concentrations of hydrotropic agents were used in ratio 1:3 (niacinamide: sodium benzoate). Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy was used to exclude any drug-hydrotropes interaction. The dissolution rate of nimodipine from solid dispersion and physical mixture were studied using USP type II dissolution test apparatus in acetate buffer (pH 4.5) as a dissolution media. Results: Hydrotropic solid dispersion of nimodipine with a blend (30% sodium benzoate and 10% niacinamide) increased the dissolution rate of the drug by 1.5 folds compared to the marketed conventional nimodipine tablet. Fourier-transform infrared analysis did not show any physicochemical interaction between drug and carriers in solid dispersion formulation. Conclusion: The hydrotrop is a novel and safe compound. It is a successful way to enhance the solubility of poorly aqueous soluble drugs. Immediate dissolution of practically insoluble drug nimodipine in dissolution media indicates that it has a great potential to solubilize the drug in biological fluids. Thus, a considerable improvement in bioavailability and onset of action of the drug can be predictable. Adding of a hydrotropic agent with nimodipine in solid dispersion increased the dissolution rate of the drug compared to the marketed conventional nimodipine tablet Keywords: Hydrotropes; Nimodipine; Solubility enhancement; Solid dispersion.
