Solubilization of Poorly Water-Soluble Drugs Using Solid Dispersions
Recent Patents on Drug Delivery & Formulation, 2013Many new drugs have been discovered in pharmaceutical industry and exposed their surprised potential therapeutic effects. Unfortunately, these drugs possess low absorption and bioavailability since their solubility limitation in water. Solid dispersion (SD) is the current technique gaining so many attractions from scientists due to its effect on ...

Nanoparticles: A Personal Experience for Formulating Poorly Water Soluble Drugs
Journal of Controlled Release, 2010This short paper is a personal account of the development of techniques to enhance the bioavailability of a series of poorly soluble drugs by particle size reduction to the nanometer size range. This is a nanotechnological approach which has come of age and has had a practical impact on drug delivery. The drug is in effect the nanosystem.

Optimizing the Formulation of Poorly Water-Soluble Drugs
2011With as high as 60 % of drugs in company pipelines exhibiting poor aqueous solubility, the ability to successfully develop a poorly water-soluble drug has become essential. Gaining a detailed understanding of a compound through preformulation studies can be especially challenging for poorly water-soluble drugs limiting their development.

Transformation of acidic poorly water soluble drugs into ionic liquids
European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics, 2015Poor water solubility of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) is a major challenge in drug development impairing bioavailability and therapeutic benefit. This study is addressing the possibility to tailor pharmaceutical and physical properties of APIs by transforming these into tetrabutylphosphonium (TBP) salts, including the generation of ionic ...

Microcrystals for dissolution rate enhancement of poorly water-soluble drugs
International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2003Slight dissolution rates related to poor water-solubility are one of the well-known difficulties to be covered during the development of new drug substances. The poorly water-soluble drug ECU-01, a low molecular enzyme-inhibitor with anti-inflammatory properties for oral administration, shows a poor dissolution rate.

Poorly water-soluble drug nanoparticles via solvent evaporation in water-soluble porous polymers
International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2013A generic method is described to form poorly water-soluble drug nanoparticles within water-soluble porous polymer by solvent evaporation. The simple dissolution of porous polymer with drug nanoparticles results in stable aqueous drug nanoparticle suspension under the optimized conditions.
