Bioavailability Enhancement: Drug Permeability Enhancement

Bioavailability Enhancement: Drug Permeability Enhancement

After oral administration, poor permeability often limits the rate at which drugs are absorbed through the intestinal epithelium. Enhancing drug permeability is crucial for effective therapy, and several strategies have been developed to overcome this challenge.One effective strategy involves the use of lipid-based formulations. These formulations enhance dissolution and solubility, targeting physiological mechanisms to increase drug absorption. This includes stimulating bile salt secretion,...

Bioavailability Enhancement: Drug Solubility Enhancement

Bioavailability Enhancement: Drug Solubility Enhancement

Bioavailability is a critical factor in determining a drug's effectiveness. It refers to the proportion of a drug that enters the circulation when introduced into the body and is, as a result, able to have an active effect. Enhancing bioavailability is essential for drugs with poor solubility, as it can significantly impact their therapeutic efficacy. Various methods are employed to increase the solubility of drugs, thereby enhancing their bioavailability.Micronization and nanonization are...

Pharmaceutical Alternatives: Polymorphic Form-Related and Particle Size-Related Therapeutic Nonequivalence

Pharmaceutical Alternatives: Polymorphic Form-Related and Particle Size-Related Therapeutic Nonequivalence

Changes in polymorphic forms can significantly influence the bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs. Although the FDA defines pharmaceutical equivalence based on having the same active ingredient, dosage form, and route of administration, it does not automatically disqualify products with different polymorphic forms. This means two products with different polymorphs can still be deemed pharmaceutically equivalent. However, polymorphic differences can affect properties like wettability,...

Background:

Nanoemulsions offer enhanced delivery systems for various applications.
Palm oil and medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil mixtures are common bases for nanoemulsions.
Controlling physicochemical properties like particle size and stability is crucial for nanoemulsion efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the impact of formulation composition and preparation method on palm-based nanoemulsions.
To optimize the formulation and preparation parameters for desirable nanoemulsion characteristics.
To evaluate the long-term stability of the optimized nanoemulsion.

Main Methods:

Response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to study the effects of key variables.
Independent variables included palm/MCT oil mixture, lecithin, Cremophor EL, and addition rate.
Physicochemical properties (particle size, zeta potential, polydispersity index) were measured as response variables.

Main Results:

Physicochemical properties were significantly influenced by emulsion composition and preparation method.
A second-order polynomial model adequately described the experimental data.
The optimized nanoemulsion formulation demonstrated stability for six months at 4 °C.

Conclusions:

RSM is an effective tool for optimizing nanoemulsion formulations.
The optimized palm-based nanoemulsion exhibits favorable physicochemical properties and stability.
This research provides a foundation for developing stable and effective palm-based nanoemulsions.
