The aim of the study was to investigate potential of Solid Self Nano-emulsifying Drug Delivery System (SNEDDS) for enhancing solubility and oral bioavailability of Rosuvastatin Calcium (RC). RC solubility was determined in different vehicles such as oils, surfactants and co-surfactants. Capmul MCM (oil), tween 20 (surfactant) and PEG 200 were taken for the preparation of SNEDDS based upon the solubility of RC. Pseudo-ternary phase diagrams were constructed in order to identify efficient self-emulsifying regions. S-SNEDDS were prepared by adsorbing the optimized SNEDDS on to porous polystyrene spheres as a carrier. The S-SNEDDS formulated was free flowing and droplet size of the reconstituted nano-emulsion was almost unchanged after solidification. The prepared S-SNEDDS showed 98.92% release of RC at the end of 60 mins, whereas pure RC exhibited only 38.6%. The C max and AUC 0-t of the S-SNEDDS was about 7.97 and 7.91 fold higher than the pure drug respectively. This research study gives an overview of the S -SNEDDS as a hopeful choice to improve the oral bioavailability of RC.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
