Sildenafil citrate (SLC) is a frequently used medication (Viagra®) for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). Due to its poor solubility, SLC suffers from a delayed onset of action and poor bioavailability. Hence, the aim of the proposed work was to prepare and evaluate solid dispersions (SDs) with hydrophilic polymers (Kolliphor® P188, Kollidon® 30, and Kollidon®-VA64), in order to enhance the dissolution and efficacy of SLC. The SLC-SDs were prepared using a solvent evaporation method (at the ratio drug/polymer, 1:1, w/w) and characterized by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscope (SEM), drug content, yield, and in vitro release studies. Based on this evaluation, SDs (SLC-KVA64) were optimized, with a maximum release of drug (99.74%) after 2 h for all the developed formulas. The SDs (SLC-KVA64) were further tested for sexual behavior activity in male rats, and significant enhancements in copulatory efficiency (81.6%) and inter-copulatory efficiency (44.9%) were noted in comparison to the pure SLC drug, when exposed to the optimized SLC-KVA64 formulae. Therefore, SD using Kollidon®-VA64 could be regarded as a potential strategy for improving the solubility, in vitro dissolution, and therapeutic efficacy of SLC.

Physicochemical characterization and in vitro dissolution behaviour of celecoxib-β-cyclodextrin inclusion complexes In this study, attempts were made to investigate the effects of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) on the aqueous solubility and dissolution rate of celecoxib. Inclusion complexes were prepared by the kneading method and characterized by SEM, NMR, IR, DSC, and X-ray powder diffraction. Dissolution rate of the complexes was significantly greater than that of the corresponding physical mixtures and pure drug, indicating that the formation of inclusion complex increased the solubility of the poorly soluble drug celecoxib.

Ketoprofen [2-(3-benzoylphenyl)-propionic acid], a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug exhibits poor dissolution pattern. Solid dispersion (SD) techniques were used because it is particularly promising to improve the oral absorption and bioavailability of BCS Class II drugs. This investigation entails solid dispersion of ketoprofen which was formulated and characterized for better release profile and immediate action of the drug. Melting method was applied to prepare solid dispersion by using two immediate release (IR) polymer PEG 6000 and HPMC 6 cps at different weight ratios. In the formulation, a fixed amount of lactose was used as adsorbent. The solid dispersions were investigated for drug entrapment efficiency and dissolution behavior. In vitro dissolution study was performed in phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) medium for one hour. Percent cumulative drug release from solid dispersion was found to be minimum 92.19% and maximum 98.95% within one hour, which showed a better dissolution compared to the active drugs. Evaluation of the properties of the solid dispersion was also performed by using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) study and Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA). SEM results indicated that ketoprofen crystallinity in SDs was significantly reduced, and that the majority of ketoprofen was in amorphous form. No interaction was found between drug and polymers from DTA and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analysis. So, solid dispersion technique may be an effective technique to enhance dissolution rate of ketoprofen. Bangladesh Pharmaceutical Journal 23(1): 44-53, 2020
