HME as Advanced Approach for Development of Solid Self Emulsifying Drug Delivery System
The pharmaceutical industry is paying more and more attention to hot-melt extrusion (HME), but this technology’s promise for creating solid self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (S-SMEDDS) has not yet been fully realized. The numerous published publications over the past five years show that hot melt extrusion (HME) technology is increasingly being used for novel applications. Because it has low-cost scale-up capabilities and process automation, which reduce labour costs and capital expenditure. HME has become a crucial technique for pharmaceutical manufacturing and research applications involving drug delivery. In the development of new drug delivery systems, the novel use of the HME method offers a promising alternate strategy. Through a discussion of pertinent case studies, the current review examines the value of HME in the creation of innovative drug delivery systems.

The optimized formulation of LSMEDDS (F8) containing capryol 90 (10 percent w/w), Tween 80 (67.5/5 w/w), and labrasol (22.5 percent w/w) showed the smallest particle size and (10.3) and Solid SEEDS particle size 87.5 ± 4.95 with yield 30.6% to 42.66%. | Spray drying | (Mahore et al., 2021) |
| Resveratrol | Colloidal silicone dioxide | A solid self-emulsifying drug delivery systems was developed by using the spray-drying approach, to increase the solubility of resveratrol (RES). Three surfactant systems, soy phosphatidylcholine (SPC), eumulgin® HRE-40 (EU), and sodium oleate (system A); SPC/Tween®80 (TW) and sodium oleate (system B); and SPC/EU/TW (System C), were tested along with cod liver oil. System C produced the highest incorporation (21.26 mg/ml). The highest yield solid self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (80.12) were made with colloidal silicon dioxide (CSD). | Spray drying | (Aloisio et al., 2019) |
