Application of hot melt extrusion in the solid dispersion preparation of hydrophobic drugs: Research advances / 国际药学研究杂志

Hot melt extrusion (HME) is an effective method to make the drugs form amorphous solid dispersions (ASD) inmicrostructure, through which we can improve the dissolution behavior so as to improve the bioavailability ofhydrophobic drugs This review mainly focuses on the. screening of active pharmaceutical ingredients and polymer carriers, feasibility evaluation of the technique, and the control of key parameters of preparation process, summarizes the application of HME to develop drug delivery system.
