Background: The rate-limiting step in the oral absorption of BCS class II drugs is dissolution. Their low solubility is one of the major obstacles in the process of drug development. Dissolution rate can be increased by decreasing the particle size to the nano range, eventually leading to increased bioavailability. Objective: : In the present study, glimepiride loaded nanoparticles were prepared to enhance the dissolution rate. The aim of the work was to examine the effect of polymer-drug ratio, solvent-antisolvent ratio and speed of mixing on in vitro release of glimepiride. Methods: Glimepiride is an antidiabetic drug belonging to the BCS class II drugs. The polymeric nanoparticles were formulated according to Box-Behnken Design (BBD) using nanoprecipitation technique. The prepared nanoparticles were evaluated for in vitro drug release, loading capacity, entrapment efficiency, and percentage yield. Result: It was found that NP-8 has maximum in vitro drug release and was selected as an optimized batch. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was applied to the in vitro drug release to study the fitness and significance of the model. The batch NP-8 showed 70.34 ± 1.09% in vitro drug release in 0.1 N methanolic HCl and 92.02 ± 1.87% drug release in phosphate buffer pH 7.8. The release data revealed that the nanoparticles followed zero order kinetics. Conclusion: The study revealed that the incorporation of glimepiride into gelucire 50/13 resulted in enhanced dissolution rate.

The primary aim of this review was to improve the solubility and Bioavailability of BCS Class-II drugs because of their low solubility and dissolution rate. Solubility is one of the imp parameter to achieve desired concentration of drug in systemic circulation for pharmacological response to be shown. Hence the class- II drugs require enhancement in solubility and dissolution rate in there formulation development particularly in solid dosage form such as in tablet and capsule. So because of this there are several methods and newer emerging technologies have been developed for increasing the solubility as well as Bioavailability of class –II drugs. In this article review on literature on newer techniques or methods as well as recent research on formulation development of class- II drugs was done.

The dissolution rate is the rate-limiting step for Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) class II drugs to enhance their in vivo pharmacokinetic behaviors. There are some factors affecting the dissolution rate, such as polymorphism, particle size, and crystal habit. In this study, to improve the dissolution rate and enhance the in vivo pharmacokinetics of sorafenib tosylate (Sor-Tos), a BCS class II drug, two crystal habits of Sor-Tos were prepared. A plate-shaped crystal habit (ST-A) and a needle-shaped crystal habit (ST-B) were harvested by recrystallization from acetone (ACN) and n-butanol (BuOH), respectively. The surface chemistry of the two crystal habits was determined by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) data, molecular modeling, and face indexation analysis, and confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) data. The results showed that ST-B had a larger hydrophilic surface than ST-A, and subsequently a higher dissolution rate and a substantial enhancement of the in vivo pharmacokinetic performance of ST-B.

Our work is aimed at exploring the composition and the properties of microemulsion (ME), as a drug delivery system, to enhance the permeability across the gastrointestinal (GI) barrier of fenofibrate, a BCS class II drug. It is a prodrug that is converted rapidly after oral administration into a major active metabolite which is the fenofibric acid. It undergoes a nearly complete presystemic metabolism. Its main drawback is the low bioavailability of the metabolite. A quick selection of excipients was made based on the capacity of solubilization and the value of hydrophilic-lipophilic balance. The classical method of ME development was coupled with the factorial design in order to minimize the droplet size using a low concentration of surfactant. The optimized ME showed a droplet size of 48.5 nm and physical stability. The passive permeability evaluated using Sartorius was 1.6 times higher than that of the free drug. The ex vivo technique, performed using the everted gut sac model, showed a 2.5-fold higher permeability. This suggests that the carrier-mediated uptake/efflux may present the dominant transport mechanism of fenofibrate. The use of the excipients that inhibit GI P-glycoprotein may be a new perspective. Thus, this paper shows that the composition and the characteristics of ME may be explored to increase the permeability of fenofibrate across the GI membrane.
