Solubility is an important parameter for the bioavailability of drugs that are difficult to dissolve. Natural compounds that are included in class II in the Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) are Apigenin, Quercetin, Genistein, Curcumin, and Piperin. These drugs have low solubility in water and high permeability so that they affect the dissolution rate and as well as their bioavailability, to increase the solubility they are made with multicomponent crystals. This review aims to provide information on the method of making crystal multicomponent to increase the solubility and dissolution rate of BCS II drugs. Several methods that can be used in multicomponent are solvent drop grinding, solvent evaporation, assisted grinding, and slurry. The results showed that multicomponent crystals using several methods could increase the solubility and dissolution rates.

Abstract Active ingredients in pharmaceuticals differ by their physico-chemical properties and their bioavailability therefore varies. The most frequently used and most convenient way of administration of medicines is oral, however many drugs are little soluble in water. Thus they are not sufficiently effective and suitable for such administration. For this reason a system of lipid based formulations (LBF) was developed. Series of formulations were prepared and tested in water and biorelevant media. On the basis of selection criteria, there were selected formulations with the best emulsification potential, good dispersion in the environment and physical stability. Samples of structurally different drugs included in the Class II of the Biopharmaceutics classification system (BCS) were obtained, namely Griseofulvin, Glibenclamide, Carbamazepine, Haloperidol, Itraconazol, Triclosan, Praziquantel and Rifaximin, for testing of maximal saturation in formulations prepared from commercially available excipients. Methods were developed for preparation of formulations, observation of emulsification and its description, determination of maximum solubility of drug samples in the respective formulation and subsequent analysis. Saturation of formulations with drugs showed that formulations 80 % XA and 20 % Xh, 35 % XF and 65 % Xh were best able to dissolve the drugs which supports the hypothesis that it is desirable to identify limited series of formulations which could be generally applied for this purpose.

Biopharmaceutics Classification

The biopharmaceutical classification system (BCS) is a very important tool to replace the traditional in vivo bioequivalence studies with in vitro dissolution assays during multisource product development. This paper compares the most recent harmonized guideline for biowaivers based on the biopharmaceutics classification system and the BCS regulatory guidelines in Latin America and analyzes the current BCS regulatory requirements and the perspective of the harmonization in the region to develop safe and effective multisource products. Differences and similarities between the official and publicly available BCS guidelines of several Latin American regulatory authorities and the new ICH harmonization guideline were identified and compared. Only Chile, Brazil, Colombia, and Argentina have a more comprehensive BCS guideline, which includes solubility, permeability, and dissolution requirements. Although their regulatory documents have many similarities with the ICH guidelines, there are still major differences in their interpretation and application. This situation is an obstacle to the successful development of safe and effective multisource products in the Latin American region, not only to improve their access to patients at a reasonable cost, but also to develop BCS biowaiver studies that fulfill the quality standards of regulators in developed and emerging markets.

To waive a complete and systemic Bioequivalence (BE) study, Biowaiver or Request for a Biowaiver is a fast track approach to boost the drug development process. Over the past three-four years the Biowaiver market shows greater number of Biowaiver submissions and the wider use of In-vitro permeability study. Biowaiver is a beneficial approach for getting approval of Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) while, BCS based Biowaiver is the novel approach to gain approval for New Drug Application (NDA) as well as ANDA. A Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) based Biowaiver is an exemption from conducting human bioequivalence studies when active ingredient and dosage form meet criteria of solubility, permeability and dissolution. The Paper covers different kind of Biowaiver approaches and the criteria for the applicability of BCS based Biowaivers in the different geographic scopes with regard to global development strategy. There is a comparison of global guidelines on provisions availability for different types of Biowaiver approaches as well as for requirements of Biowaiver based on BCS. From comparison of different global guidelines it is reviewed that most of the guidance resembles to the USFDA, EU and WHO guidelines because most of the regulatory authorities are following the BCS based Biowaiver concept as one of the three main guidance documents (USFDA, EMA, WHO) or a combination of specific requirements.

32 Factorial Design

Nanosuspensions are the dispersions of nanosized particles in a suitable vehicle prepared using surfactants or solubilizers to aid in nanosize distribution. Nanosuspension is best suited for dosage form development of poorly soluble drugs. According to the biopharmaceutical classification system, drugs with poor solubility fall either in BCS class II or BCS class IV. BCS class II drugs show poor solubility and good permeability; hence their bioavailability problems can be overcome by improving their solubility. Metaxalone is one such BCS class II drug from an oxazolidin-2-one class of centrally acting muscle relaxant drugs, indicated for relief of discomforts associated with acute, painful musculoskeletal conditions. Therefore, in present investigation, nanosuspension of Metaxalone has been formulated as an attempt to improve solubility and hence the overall bioavailability of Metaxalone. Media milling technique has been employed for nanosuspension preparation. Surfactant concentration (Poloxamer 407) and stirring time has been optimized using 32 factorial design to achieve desired particle size and saturation solubility responses as dependent variables. The particle size (PS) of 215.3 nm and maximum saturation solubility (SS) of 2805μg/ml was obtained as suggested solutions from factorial design which was further confirmed using check point analysis. Interaction of surfactant concentration and stirring time and their effect on particle size and saturation solubility was predicted using the contour plots and response surface plots. The optimized formulation showed around 99% metaxalone in vitro dissolution in comparison to around 46% dissolution from SKELAXIN® tablet at 30 minutes. These methodologies could therefore be employed successfully to improve solubility of any BCS class II drug and to predict effects and interactions of many experimental variables at the same time.
