Albendazole Solid Dispersions: Influence of Dissolution Medium Composition on In Vitro Drug Release

Abstract: The rate-limiting step to drug absorption is often dissolution from the dosage form, especially for poorly soluble compounds. Two possibilities for improving the dissolution of these drugs are to increase the available surface area and to improve their apparent solubilities under physiologically relevant conditions with surfactants as wetting agents. Albendazole (ABZ), one of the most effective broad-spectrum antihelminthic agents, has a very low aqueous solubility, which leads to an erratic availability. Soli… Show more

“…The results of the wettability test were all close to 80° (Table 1) and, in accordance with literature, the values close to 90° predict a poor wettability 24 . Although the literature does not present studies applying wettability test with nimesulide, some works with other drugs were conducted, in which the results of the contact angles were correlated with water solubility 25,26,27 .…”
