The present study investigates the possibility of using poloxamers as solubility and dissolution rate enhancing agents of poorly water soluble bioactive constituent patchouli alcohol (PA) that can be used for the preparation of immediate release pellets formulation. Two commercially available grades poloxamer 188 (P 188) and poloxamer 407 (P 407) were selected, and solid dispersions (SDs) conta...

Solid dispersion systems are widely investigated for the dissolution enhancement of poorly water soluble drugs. Nevertheless, very limited commercial use has been achieved due to the poor predictability of such systems caused by the lack of a basic understanding of the dissolution optimization mechanism. In the present study an investigation of the release mechanism is performed for solid dispe...

the effects of crystallization of indomethacin as a poorly water-soluble drug in aqueous surfactant solutions (using the basket method), on the drug dissolution behavior was investigated.a significant enhancement of drug dissolution was observed for for the dissolution rates of crystals treated with hydrophilic surfactants, tween 80 and sodium lauryl sulfate (sls). however, asing arlacel 60 as ...

The aim of this study is to improve dissolution and bioavailability of poorly water soluble Efavirenz (Efv), a potent and selective non-nucleoside inhibitor of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase. Its effectiveness can be attributed to its long half-life (t1/2) of 52–76 h after single dose. Formulation of poorly water soluble drug for oral delivery is one of the biggest challenges. Amongst the availabl...

Ritonavir, a widely prescribed anti-retroviral drug, belongs to Class II under 'BCS' and exhibit low and variable oral bioavailability due to its poor aqueous solubility. Ritonavir is practically insoluble in water and aqueous fluids. Its aqueous solubility was reported to be 2.56 mg/100 ml. As such oral absorption of ritonavir is dissolution rate limited and it requires enhancement in solubili...

The objective of the present investigation was to study the effect of polyethylene glycol 4000 (PEG 4000) on in vitro dissolution of gliclazide from solid dispersions. Initial studies were carried out using physical mixtures of the drug and carrier. Solid dispersions were prepared by the melting or fusion method.Phase and saturation solubility study, in vitro dissolution of pure drug, physical ...
