The solid state properties and dissolution behavior of lamotrigine in its inclusion complex with βCyclodextrin were investigated.Preformulation study of lamotrigine was carried out. Dialysis study of lamotrigine with β-Cyclodextrin in pretreated dialysis bags showed that lamotrigine binds with βCyclodextrin in the ratio of 1:2. Solid dispersions were prepared by kneading and spray dried method....

The objective of the present investigation was to study the influence of polyethylene glycol 4000 (PEG) and polyvinylpyrrolidone K30 (PVP) on in vitro dissolution of etoricoxib from solid dispersions. Preliminary studies were carried out using a physical mixture of the drug and carriers. Solid dispersions were prepared using the solvent evaporation method. A 32 factorial design was adopted in t...

The present study deals with characterization of dispersions of a poorly water-soluble drug, celecoxib (CLX) in polyvinyl caprolactame–polyvinyl acetate–polyethylene glycol graft copolymer (Soluplus® (SOL)) prepared by different techniques. Dispersions of CLX in SOL at different ratios (2:1, 1:1, 1:2, 1:4 and 1:6) were prepared by spray drying, conventional solvent evaporation and melting metho...

In this study, amorphous solid dispersions containing dutasteride and various excipients, manufactured by spray-drying processes, were characterized to determine the effects on their ability to form supersaturated solutions and to identify the effects of supersaturation on increasing the bioavailability of dutasteride. The excipients included Eudragit E, hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD), ...

The present study aims to experiment the solid dispersion of poorly water soluble drug itraconazole as model drug by spray drying method with the use of PEG/HPMC polymer blends, the influence of polymer compatibility on the degree of molecular dispersion of itraconazole solid dispersions are prepared by ternary mixing and polymer blends are also evaluated for DSC, XRD and in vitro dissolution t...

The aim of the study was to investigate the physical stability of the semi-solid dispersions into the hard gelatine capsules prepared with Gelucire 44/14, Labrasol and different additives such as microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), mannitol and lactose (alpha-monohydrate) used for enhancing the stability of the formulations. The master dispersion prepared with only Gelucire 44/14 (20% w/w) and La...

Artemisinin (ARMN) is a potent antimalarial drug, which is effective against multidrug resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum and produces rapid recovery even in patients with cerebral malaria. Being poorly soluble in water, artemisinin is incompletely absorbed after oral intake due to poor dissolution characteristics in the intestinal fluids. To enhance these properties, solid dispersions ...

Solid dispersions of a poorly water-soluble drug piroxicam in polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) were prepared by precipitation with compressed antisolvent (PCA) and spray drying techniques. Physicochemical properties of the products and drug-polymer interactions were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry, etc. Piroxica...

lamotrigine is used in the treatment of cns disorders, particularly epilepsy; pain; oedema; multiple sclerosis and psychiatric indications including bipolar disorder. lamotrigine belongs to biopharmaceutical classification systems, bcs class ii (low solubility & high permeability). in addition, it requires immediate therapeutic action hence the main objective of this study is to improve the sol...
