Solubilizing Excipients in Oral and Injectable Formulations

Abstract: A review of commercially available oral and injectable solution formulations reveals that the solubilizing excipients include water-soluble organic solvents (polyethylene glycol 300, polyethylene glycol 400, ethanol, propylene glycol, glycerin, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, dimethylacetamide, and dimethylsulfoxide), non-ionic surfactants (Cremophor EL, Cremophor RH 40, Cremophor RH 60, d-alpha-tocopherol polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate, polysorbate 20, polysorbate 80, Solutol HS 15, sorbitan monooleate, poloxamer… Show more

“…Over the years, different strategies have been developed to overcome poor solubility issues. This includes micronization and nanonization, particle engineering, amorphisation, solid dispersion, salts formation, the use of surfactant "micellization", cyclodextrins and polymeric complexations (Cavallari et al, 2005;Chen et al, 2011;Del Valle, 2004;Junghanns and Müller, 2008;Owen, 2013;Strickley, 2004). Nevertheless, these strategies are not always able to satisfactorily improve the drug solubility and the combination of more than one strategy may be required.…”

“…Likewise, each of the emulsifiers represents different classes of structures. However, all components listed in Table 1 are already used in commercially available oral or injectable pharmaceutical products 7 , 8 , Table 2. defines the composition of each emulsion manufactured along with physical properties.…”

“…They are defined by The International Pharmaceutical Excipients Council as "substances, other than the active drug substance of finished dosage form, which have been appropriately evaluated for safety and are included in a drug delivery system to either aid the processing of the drug delivery system during its manufacture; protect; support; enhance stability, bioavailability, or patient acceptability; assist in product identification; or enhance any other attributes of the overall safety and effectiveness of the drug delivery system during storage or use" (Apte and Ugwu 2003). Lists of pharmaceuticals with their associated excipients and inclusion levels are detailed by Apte and Ugwu 2003, Sougata et al 2004and Strickley 2004. Excipients may be present at low levels, e.g.…”

“…As APIs of the same family will employ very similar carrier fluids and excipients (Strickley 2004), the behaviour of the drop formation event will therefore be correlated to the API chemistry and structure. It is anticipated from this review that proof of concept systems for pharmaceutical printability should focus on developing a series of model systems to enable easy transfer to other similar products.…”
