Solubilizer

Candesartan cilexetil (CAN) is administered for treating hypertension and heart failure. CAN suffers poor oral bioavailability, owing to limited aqueous solubility, and first-pass metabolism. Solusomes (novel Soluplus® enriched nano-vesicular carriers) combine the merits of Soluplus®, and the…

Arteether (ART), an antimalarial drug, belongs to BCS class II and has very low oral bioavailability. Clinically, it is given as a solution in oil by the intramuscular route. Solid dispersion in Soluplus or Kollicoat IR, two commonly used grafted copolymers, may improve its in vitro dissolution and…

Abstract The development of an amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) is a promising strategy for improving the low bioavailability of many poorly water-soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). The construction of a temperature–composition (T–C) phase diagram for an API–polymer combination is…

Abstract Silymarin (SIL) is a poorly water-soluble flavonoid reported for different pharmacological properties. Its therapeutic applications are limited due to poor water solubility. In this study, the solubility of silymarin has been enhanced by preparing freeze-dried binary and ternary complexes…
