Microemulsions are clear, transparent, thermodynamically stable dispersions of oil and water, stabilized by an interfacial film of surfactant frequently in combination with a co-surfactant. Recently, there has been a considerable interest for the microemulsion formulation, for the delivery of hydrophilic as well as lipophilic drug as drug carriers because of its improved drug solubilization capacity, long shelf life, easy of preparation and improvement of bioavailability. In this present review, we discuss about the various advantages of microemulsion in pharmaceuticals, along with its preparation, evaluation and research work carried out on microemulsions.

p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Helvetica} <p>A known limitation of polymer micelles for the formulation of hydrophobic drugs is their low loading capacity, which rarely exceeds 20 wt.%. One general strategy to overcome this limitation is to increase the amphiphilic contrast, i.e. to make the hydrophobic core of the micelles more hydrophobic. However, we reported earlier that for poly(2-oxazoline) based amphiphilic triblock copolymers, a minimal amphiphilic contrast is beneficial, which was tentatively attributed to possible side chain crystallization. Here, we revisit this subject in more detail using more hydrophobic side chains that are either linear (nonyl) or branched (3-ethylheptyl), the latter of which should not crystallize. Moreover, we investigate two different backbones within the hydrophobic block, in particular poly(2-oxazoline) and poly(2-oxazine), for the solubilization and co-solubilization of the two highly water insoluble compounds curcumin and paclitaxel. Even though high loading capacities could be achieved for curcumin within poly(2-oxazine) based triblock copolymers, the solubilization capacity of all investigated polymers with longer side chains was significantly lower compared to poly(2-oxazoline)s and poly(2-oxazine)s with shorter side chains. Although the even lower loading capacity for paclitaxel could be somehow attenuated by co-formulating curcumin, this study corroborates that in the case of poly(2-oxazoline) and poly(2-oxazine) based polymer micelles, an increased amphiphilic contrast leads to less drug solubilization.</p>
