ENHANCEMENT OF SOLUBILITY AND DISSOLUTION RATE OF POORLY SOLUBLE IRBESARTAN BY POLYMORPHISM AND SOLID DISPERSION TECHNIQUE

Solubility Enhancement of Poorly Water Soluble Drugs by Solid Dispersion

Solid dispersions have been employed to enhance the dissolution rates of poorly water-soluble drugs. Many approaches have been investigated for the preparation of solid dispersions. This paper reports the various solubility enhancement strategies in solid dispersion. The approaches described are fusion (melting), solvent evaporation, lyophilization (freeze drying), melt agglomeration process, e...

Enhancement of Solubility and Dissolution Rate of Poorly Water Soluble Drug using Cosolvency and Solid Dispersion Techniques

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....

Studies on dissolution enhancement of prednisolone, a poorly water-soluble drug by solid dispersion technique.

INTRODUCTION Prednisolone is a class II substance according to the Biopharmaceutics Classification System. It is a poorly water soluble agent. The aim of the present study was to improve dissolution rate of a poorly water-soluble drug, prednisolone, by a solid dispersion technique. METHODS Solid dispersion of prednisolone was prepared with PEG 6000 or different carbohydrates such as lactose a...

Enhancement of Dissolution Rate of Efavirenz by Solid Dispersion Technique

Efavirenz is an HIV-1 specific, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI).It is an antiretroviral agent indicated for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection, which is not soluble in water and lower absorption in gastric fluid. In order to improve the solubility and oral absorption of the drug in gastric fluid and to enhance its dissolution rate, soli...
