Novel Strategies for Poorly Water Soluble Drugs

چکیده
Solubility of drug plays critical role in achieving the optimum therapeutic levels of the drug in blood and thus bioavailability. There are many drugs of various therapeutic categories fall in BCS class II and IV as they lack solubility. For all these drugs dissolution is the big hurdle for the absorption process. Present review’s focus is mainly on novel techniques of improving the solubility apart from the description of the few popular and traditional techniques.

Nanosized Technological Approaches for the Delivery of Poorly Water Soluble Drugs
A major hurdle in pharmaceutical formulation is water insolubility of most of drugs affecting their stability and bioavailability. If the drug is also insoluble in organic medium, it is difficult to deliver it in a sufficiently bioavailable form and hence it is a great challenge to formulation researchers to overcome such difficulty. Although some approaches are available for enhancing th...
متن کاملIntroducing Self-Nanoemulsifying Drug Delivery System to Increase the Bioavailability of Oral Medications
Due to low cost, ease of administration, and lack need for trained personnel, the oral route is the most convenient and accessible way to design different medicines that could be simply consumed by patients. Regardless of the great benefits of this route, the main challenge in the bioavailability of oral medications is gastrointestinal instability. Nanotechnology is used to improve the solubili...
متن کاملEffects of Spray Drying and Spray Chilling on Ibuprofen Dissolution
The formulation of hydrophobic drugs for oral drug delivery is challenging due to poor solubility, poor dissolution and poor wetting of these drugs. Consequently, the aim of this study was to improve the dissolution of a model poorly water soluble drug, ibuprofen. Microparticles containing ibuprofen were produced by spray drying and spray chilling technology in the absence/presence of a ...
متن کاملSolid Dispersion Approach Improving Dissolution Rate of Stiripentol: a Novel Antiepileptic Drug
Some drugs have low bioavailability due to their poor aqueous solubility and/or slowdissolution rate in biological fluids. Stiripentol (STP) is a novel anticonvulsant drug that isstructurally unrelated to the currently available antiepileptics. It has poor aqueous solubilityand its solubility has to be enhanced accordingly. Polyethyleneglycol 6000 (PEG-6000) iscommonly utilized as a hydrophilic...
