Formulation development and dissolution rate enhancement of efavirenz by solid dispersion systems

Formulation Development and Dissolution Rate Enhancement of Efavirenz by Solid Dispersion Systems

The aim of this study was to enhance the dissolution rate of efavirenz using solid dispersion systems (binary and ternary). A comparison between solvent and fusion method was also investigated. Solid dispersions of efavirenz were prepared using polyethylene glycol 8000, polyvinylpyrrolidone K30 alone and combination of both. Tween 80 was incorporated to obtain a ternary solid dispersion system....

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...

Surface Solid Dispersion of Glimepiride for Enhancement of Dissolution Rate

Surface solid dispersions using water-insoluble carriers like crospovidone, croscarmellose sodium, sodium starch glycolate, pre-gelatinized starch, potato starch and Avicel PH 101 were investigated to enhance the dissolution rate of the glimepiride, a poorly water insoluble drug. The effect of various carriers on dissolution profile was studied using presence absence model. The surface solid di...

Enhancement of dissolution rate of etoricoxib through solid dispersion technique

Etoricoxib, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, is used to Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis and Acute Gouty arthritis. Etoricoxib is practically insoluble in water; hence present study was carried out to enhance dissolution properties of Etoricoxib through the preparation of Solid Dispersions using PEG 6000 as carrier at various proportions by using different techniques like Physical mi...
