Therapeutic effectiveness of a drug
depends upon the bioavailability and
ultimately upon the solubility of drug
molecules.
Solubility is one of the important
parameter to achieve desired concentration
of drug in systemic circulation for
pharmacological response to be shown.

Currently only 8% of new drugcandidates have both highsolubility and permeability.
What is Solubity?2,3

The transfer of molecules or ions from a solidstate into solution is know as dissolution.
The extent (maximum) to which dissolutionproceeds under a given set of experimentalconditions is referred to as the solubility of thesolute in the solvent.

Enhancement of solubility by Solid Dispersion A.N.Nikam
The term solid dispersions refer to a group of solid products
consisting of at least two different components, generally a
hydrophilic matrix and a hydrophobic drug.
According to Chiou and Rielman (1971) , a pharmaceutical
solid dispersion is ‘the dispersion of one or more active
ingredients in an inert carrier matrix at solid state prepared by
melting (fusion), solvent or melting solvent method’.
Further, Corrigan, 1985, defined solid dispersions as products
formed by converting a drug-carrier combination in fluid state to
the solid state. Hydrophilic polymers are the most used carrier
materials for the preparation of solid dispersions.
Important!

Enhancement of solubility by Solid Dispersion A.N.Nikam
In Biopharmaceutical Classification System (BCS) drugs
with low aqueous solubilty and high membrane permeability
are categorized as Class II drugs.
Therefore, Solid Dispersion technologies are particularly
promising for improving the oral absorption and
bioavailabilty of Class II Drugs.
Important!
Now a days More than 40%
drugs are lipophilic & having a
problem of poor water solubility.

Fusion Method6
05/10/2015Enhancement of solubility by Solid Dispersion A.N.Nikam
8
Fusion or Melting method was first introduced by Sekiguchi
et al. in 1961 where the drug was melted in a carrier and after
cooling the dry mass obtained was pulverized and sieved to
obtain powder.
They prepared the SDs of Sulfathiazole in different carriers
(e.g. ascorbic acid, acetamide, nicotinamide, nicotinic acid,
succinimide and urea) by the formation of melt of different
drug carrier mixtures.
Cooling of the drug-carrier melt was done on ice bath with
continuous stirring until the dry mass was obtained.
Important!
Method developed by
Sekiguchi et al. in 1961 was the
first one among the SOLID
DISPERSION range.

Hot Melt Extrusion is essentially same as the fusion
method except that intense mixing of component is
induced by extruder.
However, compared to the traditional fusion
method, this technique offers the possibility of
continuous production, which makes it suitable for
large scale production.
Furthermore, the product is easier to handle at the
outlet of the extruder the shape can be adapted to
the next processing step without grinding.Figure 1: The leistritz twin screw extruder
Hot Melt Extrusion Technology 4,6,7
Important!
Thermo-sensitive drugs &
carrier would not be used in this
technique as they will be
subjected to degradation

Solvent Evaporation Method8
05/10/2015Enhancement of solubility by Solid Dispersion A.N.Nikam
12
In this Method of Solvent Evaporation, the drug and carrier
are dissolved in common solvent, and then the solvent is
evaporated under vacuum to produce a solid.
Example, solid solution of the highly lipophilic β-carotene
in the highly water soluble carrier povidone.
Important!
Tachibana and Nakamura werethe first to dissolve both thedrug and the carrier in acommon solvent and thenevaporate the solvent undervacuum to produce a solid.

Lyophilization Technique9,10
05/10/2015Enhancement of solubility by Solid Dispersion A.N.Nikam
13
Lyophilization has been thought of a molecular mixing
technique where the drug and carrier are co dissolved in a
common solvent, frozen and sublimed to obtain a
lyophilized molecular dispersion.
This technique was proposed as an alternative method to
solvent evaporation.
Its applicable for the thermolabile or otherwise product
unstable in aqueous solutions for prolonged storage
periods, but that are stable in the dry state.
Sublimation of water can take place at pressures and
temperature below triple point
Important!
TRIPLE POINT?The temperature and pressure atwhich 3 phases (Gas, Solid,Liquid) of substance coexist inthermodynamic equilibrium.

Figure 4: An illustration of a spray drying technique
Spray drying is an efficient technology for solid
dispersion manufacturing since it allows extreme rapid
solvent evaporation leading to fast transformation of an
API-carrier solution to solid API-carrier particles.Important!
The first use of drying ofproducts from an atomizedliquid stream was already doneby Percy in 1872 (Percy, 1872).And he got patent for the same.
Characterization of solid dispersions12,13
05/10/2015Enhancement of solubility by Solid Dispersion A.N.Nikam
17
Several techniques have been available to investigate the molecular arrangement in solid
dispersions.
However, most effort has been put in to differentiate between amorphous and crystalline
material.
Various methods include,
DSC
Powder X-ray diffraction method (Sharper diffraction peaks = crystalline material.)
Spectroscopic methods (FTIR)
Microscopic method (Hot-stage microscopy) and
In-vitro dissolution studies.
ADVANTAGES OF SOLID DISPERSIONS14
05/10/2015Enhancement of solubility by Solid Dispersion A.N.Nikam
18
Generally, solid dispersion is mainly used
1. To reduced particle size.
2. To improve wettability.
3. To improve porosity of drug.
4. To decrease the crystalline structure of drug in to amorphous form.
5. To improve dissolvability in water of a poorly water-soluble drug in a
pharmaceutical.
Disadvantages14
05/10/2015Enhancement of solubility by Solid Dispersion A.N.Nikam
19
Laborious and expensive method of preparation.
Reproducibility of physical characteristics.
Difficulty in incorporating into formulation of dosage
form.
Stability of drug and vehicle.
Important!
Phase seperation can be
prevented by maintaining a low
molecular mobility of matrix &
drug during preparation.
05/10/2015Enhancement of solubility by Solid Dispersion A.N.Nikam
20
To increase the solubility of poorly soluble drugs thereby
enhance the dissolution rate, absorption and
bioavailability.
To obtain a homogeneous distribution of a small amount
of drug in solid state.
To increase bioavailability of drugs.
Pharmaceutical Applications of Solid dispersion4,15
Important!
In spite of almost several year
of research on solid dispersion,
their commercial applications
are limited. Only Few products
are being marketed so far.

Solid Dispersion is a best method to deliver a lipophilic drug by oral route.
Solubility enhancement of poorly water soluble drugs remains one of most
challenging aspects of drug development.
The solid dispersion method is one of the effective approaches to achieve the goal
of solubility enhancement of poorly water soluble drugs.
Various techniques, are successfully used for the preparation of solid dispersions in
the lab scale and can be used at industrial scale also.
