Hydrotropy refers to increasing the water solubility of otherwise poorly soluble compound by the presence of small organic molecules. While it can certainly increase the apparent solubility of a lipophilic drug, the effect of hydrotropy on the drugs' permeation through the intestinal membrane has not been studied. The purpose of this work was to investigate the solubility-permeability interplay...

Solubility and drug dissolution are of crucial importance for drug formulations. Poor water-solubility of drug candidates is a major obstacle in drug development, since the oral route is the most patient convenient and cost effective way to deliver drugs. In some cases the low aqueous solubility may limit the bioavailability when the absorption of the drug is dissolution limited. About 40% of t...

Paracetamol is a sparingly soluble bitter tasting drug. It is widely used as an analgesic and antipyretic. Complexation of drug with different cyclodextrins (?, ? and HP-?-CD) was attempted to improve solubility of Paracetamol. During the drug excipient interaction studies, ?, ? cyclodextrins elicited analytical interference and showed considerable absorbance at ?max (243.5 nm) of Paracetamol w...

Pioglitazone is an anti-diabetic drug in high blood sugar in patients with type 2 diabetes (non-insulin-dependent diabetes) which was belongs to poor aqueous solubility and bioavailable drug. By using β Cyclodextrin, the solubility and dissolution rate of Pioglitazone HCL can be enhanced and it was evaluated by synthesizing it into solid inclusion complexes in different ratio of drug: β cyclode...

Poor aqueous solubility is a major challenge for the drug development process, and many strategies have been developed to combat this problem. Cocrystals have gathered much interest in the recent years, due to their ability to enhance drug solubilities by orders of magnitude. However, highly soluble cocrystals tend to undergo rapid solution mediated transformation back to less soluble drug form...

Identification of the usefulness of lipid-based formulations (LBFs) for delivery of poorly water-soluble drugs is at date mainly experimentally based. In this work we used a diverse drug data set, and more than 2,000 solubility measurements to develop experimental and computational tools to predict the loading capacity of LBFs. Computational models were developed to enable in silico prediction ...

purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the presence of the water soluble polymers viz hpmc, pvp and peg 6000 on aqueous solubility and complexation abilities of felodipine with or without presence of β-cyclodextrin (βcd) and hpβcd by phase solubility studies. the data revealed the initial increase in drug solubility followed by plateau in the presence of relatively low polymer c...

Adequate aqueous solubility has been one of the desired properties while selecting drug molecules and other bio-actives for product development. Often solubility of a drug determines its pharmaceutical and therapeutic performance. Majority of newly synthesized drug molecules fail or are rejected during the early phases of drug discovery and development due to their limited solubility. Sufficien...

Solubility can be the absorption limiting factor for drug candidates and is therefore a very important input parameter for oral exposure prediction of compounds with limited solubility. Biorelevant media of the fasted and fed state have been published for humans, as well as for dogs in the fasted state. In a drug discovery environment, rodents are the most common animal model to assess the oral...

    The solubility enhancement of poorly soluble compounds is an important task in pharmaceutical technology as it leads to better bioavailability and a more efficient application. Fused dispersions (FDs) of simvastatin (SIM) using PEO-PPO block copolymer were prepared which paved the way for the formation of an amorphous product with enhanced dissolution and bioavailability. The accumulative s...
