Abstract:
The aim of this study was to develop self emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS) of glipizide and to convert it into solid SEDDS (S-SEDDS) using Syloid(®) 244 FP as adsorbent. Solubility study, ternary phase diagram, robustness to dilution, thermodynamic stability study and globule size analysis were adopted to optimize liquid SEDDS. S-SEDDS were evaluated for various studies including in vivo study. The optimized liquid SEDDS formulation consisted of phosphatidylcholine, Tween 80 and Transcutol P as oil, surfactant and cosolvent. In vivo study demonstrated that blood glucose levels were efficiently controlled with S-SEDDS compared with pure drug. The results of this study suggest the potential use of developed S-SEDDS formulation for the delivery of poorly water-soluble drug glipizide.
