The majority of the pharmaceutically active chemical moieties represent a challenge in their formulation. Most of these drugs have intricate bioavailability issues either related to their low solubility or permeability. Many problems may arise during formulations such as pH dependent ionization, poor drug solubility, limited absorption, unpredicted bioavailability, degradation, metabolism, and cellular efflux. Poor aqueous solubility is a determinate criterion, during formulation and Biopharmaceutical Classification System (BCS) categorization. Among the most important approaches to enhance solubility, the Lipid-Based Drug Delivery Systems (LBDDS). The strategies involving lipid incorporation was a revolutionary step and included: vesicular systems, lipid particulate systems and emulsions.
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.
