Physicochemical characterization of solid dispersion systems of tadalafil with poloxamer 407 Dissolution behaviour of a poorly water-soluble drug, tadalafil, from its solid dispersion systems with poloxamer 407 has been investigated. Solid dispersion systems of tadalafil were prepared with poloxamer 407 in 1:0.5, 1:1.5 and 1:2.5 ratios using the melting method. Characterization of binary systems with FTIR and XRPD studies demonstrated the presence of strong hydrogen bonding interactions, a significant decrease in crystallinity and the possibility of existence of amorphous entities of the drug. In the binary systems tested, 1:0.5 proportion of tadalafil/poloxamer 407 showed rapid dissolution of tadalafil (DE30 70.9 ± 3.6 %). In contrast, higher proportions of poloxamer 407 (1:1.5 and 1:2.5) offered no advantage towards dissolution enhancement of the drug, indicating altered rheological characteristics of the polymer at its higher concentration, which might have retarded the release rate of tadalafil.

Purposes: Aims of this study are dissolution enhancement of a poorly water-soluble drug by nano-sized solid dispersion and investigation of machenism of drug release from the solid dispersion. A drug for osteoporosis treatment was used as the model drug in the study. Methods: melting method was used to prepare the solid dispersion. Drug dissolution rate was investigated at pH 1.2 and pH 6.8. Drug crystallinity was studied using differential scanning calorimetric and powder X-ray diffraction. In addition, droplet size and contact angle of drug were determined to elucidate mechanism of drug release. Results: Drug dissolution from the solid dispersion was significantly increased at pH 1.2 and pH 6.8 as compared to pure drug. Drug crystallinity was changed to partially amorphous. Also dissolution enhancement of drug was due to the improved wettability. The droplet size of drug was in the scale of nano-size when solid dispersion was dispersed in dissolution media. Conclusions: nano-sized solid dispersion in this research was a successful preparation to enhance bioavailability of a poorly water-soluble drug by mechanisms of crystal changes, particle size reduction and increase of wet property.

Dispersion Technique

The main objective of the current study was to formulate poorly water soluble drug Spirinolactone by using solid dispersion technique in order to achieve a better dissolution rate which would further help in enhancing oral bioavailability. Solid dispersions were prepared using two methods; solvent method and fusion method. Solid dispersion was prepared by using polymers, such as Hydroxy propylymethyl cellulose (HPMC 6cp), Hydroxy propyl cellulose (HPC), Sodium carboxymethylcellulose (Na-CMC), Povidone K12, Povidone K30, Poloxamer 407. Solid dispersions containing Spironolactone with HPC (96.81%), HPMC 6cp (93.05%), Poloxamer 407 (90.84%) and Na-CMC (89.93%) provided higher release rate than the release rate of solid dispersion containing only Spironolactone (35.27%), and Spironolactone with Povidone K12 (76.17%), Povidone K30 (67.92%). So the present study revealed that the solid dispersion may be an ideal means of drug delivery system for poorly water soluble drugs. Further study in this field was required to establish these drug delivery systems so that in future it can be used effectively in commercial basis.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/sjps.v4i2.7776S. J.

Purposes: To evaluate dissolution enhancement of IS, a poorly water-soluble drug, by PEG 6000-based solid dispersion and investigate mechanism of dissolution enhancement from the solid dispersion. Methods: Solid dispersion was prepared by melting method. Dissolution test was performed at pH 6.8. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to investigate the drug crystallinity as well as the interaction between drug and polymer. Results: Dissolution rate of IS from the solid dispersion was significantly increased at pH 6.8 as compared to the pure drug. Drug crystallinity was reduced. FTIR showed the interaction between polymer and IS in the solid dispersion. Conclusions: PEG 6000 was successfully used to increase the dissolution of IS. Moreover, mechanism of the dissolution enhancement was fully explained in the study. Key words: poorly water-soluble drug, dissolution, solid dispersion.

The main objective of the current study was to enhance the solubility and dissolution of poorly water soluble drug Loratadine (LOR) through formulation of solid dispersion systems (SDs) using hydrophilic polymers. SDs were prepared by kneading method using different drug-to-polymer ratios (1:3 and 1:5) with poloxomer 188 (samples DS1, DS2) and poloxomer 407 (samples DS3, DS4) as hydrophilic polymers. In vitro drug release studies were performed on prepared SDs (DS1-DS4) and compared to pure drug (LOR only, sample DS0). Prepared SDs showed significant improvement in the release profile compared to LOR.
