Porous Starch: a Novel Carrier for Solubility Enhancement of Carbamazepine

Abstract: Abstract. To circumvent the solubility-related issues associated with Biopharmaceutics Classification System class II drugs, a novel porous carrier has been developed. In the present study, a process for preparation of porous starch (PS) is demonstrated. The process briefly comprises of translucent gel preparation followed by solvent replacement, drying, and sizing. Carbamazepine (CBZ) was used as a drug candidate to exhibit solubility enhancement potential of PS. PS and CBZ-loaded PS (CBZ-PS) systems were cha… Show more

“…solid SNEDDS achieved greater than 80% probucol dissolution within approximately 15 min irrespective of media type, whereas porous starchprobucol achieved less than 5% dissolution within 60 min (similar to pure drug). This result is contrary to various other studies that have demonstrated the ability of porous starch to directly enhance poorly water-soluble drug dissolution (65,66). However, the larger pore sizes of the porous starch used by Zhang et al (i.e.…”

“…The specific surface area (SSA), total pore volume (TPV) and micropore volume (MV) of PS are at around 3 m 2 /g, 11 Â 10 À3 cm 3 /g and 3 Â 10 À3 cm 3 /g, respectively [3]. Interestingly, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) estimation yields higher values as 109.73 m 2 /g for SSA with pore sizes at around 200 nm and TPV of 32 Â 10 À3 cm 3 /g [4]. These are much smaller compared to the inorganic adsorbents.…”

“…Carbamazepine (CBZ), which is practically insoluble in water, was loaded into PS. 90 The drug release from CBZ-loaded PS showed to be complete within only 20 min. The signicantly improved dissolution is believed to be due to (a) high surface area of drug; (b) geometric connement of CBZ within the pores of PS and, thus, the reduction of the CBZ particle size; and (c) improved wettability and decreased crystallinity of drug, both of which originally make CBZ insoluble.…”
