An approach for pH-independent release of poorly soluble ionizable drugs using hot melt extrusion
Hot melt extrudates with combinations of Soluplus® and Aqoat® AS-L or Eudragit® EPO were investigated to improve drug release and to overcome the pH-dependent release of poorly water-soluble basic (itraconazole, ITZ) and acidic (mefenamic acid, MFA) drugs. The release of ITZ was improved in both 0.1…
