ABSTRACT
The purpose of present study was aimed at developing self emulsifying drug delivery system in liquid and then in pellet form that would result in improved solubility, dissolution and permeability of the poorly water soluble drug carvedilol. Pellets were prepared using extrusion-spheronization technique incorporating liquid SEDDS (carvedilol, capmul MCM EP, cremophore EL, tween 20, propylene glycol), adsorbents ( and crospovidone), microcrystalline cellulose and binder (povidone K-30). Ternary phase diagram was constructed to identify different oil-surfactant-cosurfactant mixtures according to the proportion of each point in it. The optimal CAR-SEDDS pellets showed a quicker redispersion with a droplet size of the reconstituted microemulsion being 160.47 nm, which was almost unchanged after solidification. SEM analysis confirmed good spherical appearance of solid pellets; DSC and XRD analysis confirmed that there was no crystalline carvedilol in the pellets. Pellets were then capable of transferring lipophilic compounds into the aqueous phase and significantly enhancing its release with respect to pure drug.
RESUMO
O propósito do presente estudo foi desenvolver um sistema líquido de liberação de fármacos auto emulsificante e, então, na forma de pélete, que poderia resultar em aprimoramento da solubilidade, da dissolução e permeabilidade do fármaco carvedilol, pouco solúvel em água. Os péletes foram preparados utilizando-se a técnica de extrusão-esferonização, incorporando líquido SEDDS (carvedilol, capmul MCM EP, Cremofor EL, Tween 20, propileno glicol), adsorventes (e crospovidona), celulose microcristallina e ligante (povidona K-30). O diagrama de fase ternário foi construído para identificar as misturas diferentes de óleo-tensoativo-co-tensoativo, de acordo com a proporção em cada ponto delas. Os péletes CAR-SEDDS mostraram redispersão mais rápida, com tamanho de gota da microemulsão reconstituída de 160,47 nm, que se mostrou quase inalterada após a solidificação. A análise por SEM confirmou a aparência esférica dos péletes sólidos. Análise por DSC e XRD confirmou que não havia carvedilol cristalino nos péletes. Estes foram, então capazes de transferir os compostos lipofílicos para a fase aquosa, aumentando, significativamente, sua liberação em relação ao fármaco puro.
