  • The Role of Functional Excipients in Solid Oral Dosage Forms to Overcome Poor Drug Dissolution and Bioavailability
    pharmaceutics Review The Role of Functional Excipients in Solid Oral Dosage Forms to Overcome Poor Drug Dissolution and Bioavailability Jannes van der Merwe, Jan Steenekamp, Dewald Steyn and Josias Hamman * Centre of Excellence for Pharmaceutical Sciences (Pharmacen™), North-West University, Private Bag X6001, Potchefstroom 2520, South Africa; [email protected] (J.v.d.M.); [email protected] (J.S.); [email protected] (D.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +27-18-299-4035 Received: 28 February 2020; Accepted: 21 April 2020; Published: 25 April 2020 Abstract: Many active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) exhibit poor solubility and low dissolution rates in aqueous environments such as the luminal fluids of the gastrointestinal tract. The oral bioavailability of these compounds is usually very low as a result of their poor solubility properties. In order to improve the bioavailability of these poorly soluble drugs, formulation strategies have been applied as a means to improve their aqueous solubility and dissolution rates. With respect to formulation approaches, excipients can be incorporated in the formulation to assist in the dissolution process of the drug, or specialized dosage forms can be formulated that improve dissolution rate through various mechanisms. This paper provides an overview of selected excipients (e.g., alkalinizing agents, surfactants and sugars) that can be used in formulations to increase the dissolution rate as well as specialized dosage forms such as self-emulsifying delivery systems and formulation techniques such as inclusion complexes and solid dispersions. These formulation approaches are discussed with available examples with specific reference to positive outcomes in terms of drug solubility and bioavailability enhancement.

To overcome the need, number of orally disintegrating tablets which disinte- grate within one minute in mouth without chewing or drinking water were commercialized. Then later, oral drug delivery technology had been improved from conventional dosage form to modified release dosage form and developed recently rapid disintegrating films rather than oral disintegrating tablets. Oral disintegrating film or strips containing water dissolving polymer retain the dosage form to be quickly hydrated by saliva, adhere to mucosa, and disintegrate within a few seconds, dissolve and releases medication for oro- mucosal absorption when placed in mouth. Oral film technology is the alternative route with first pass metabolism. This review give a comprehensive detail of materials used in ODF, manufacturing process, evaluation tests and marketed products. Key Words: Oral disintegrating film, oral strip, pediatric and geriatric patients.

If we look at the ingredients of these preparations, there are still many cases in which there are substances (occlusive agents, preservatives) that no longer meet certain requirements of the modern age, so it is timely to replace them with other substances. The aim of this work was to formulate a science-based formulation with new components that keep or improve its moisturizing properties, rheological parameters, and microbiological stability. Occlusive oils, like white petrolatum and liquid paraffin and the preservative parabens are traditional ingredients in oil in water creams, were replaced with white beeswax, sunflower oil, and phenoxyethanol, respectively. Cocoa butter, urea, and glycerol were added to improve long-lasting hydration and support the barrier function of the reformulated creams.

Oral Films - Patient Compliant Dosage Form For Pediatrics. The Internet Journal of Pediatrics and Neonatology. 2009 Volume 11 Number 2. Abstract Pediatric and geriatric patients, have difficulty swallowing or chewing solid dosage forms. Many pediatric and geriatric patients are unwilling to take solid preparations due to fear of choking. Even with fast dissolving tablets there is a fear of choking due to its tablet type appearance. Hence oral film drug delivery is a better alternative in such cases. The oral films are formulated using polymers, plasticizers, flavors, colors and sweeteners. The oral films are manufactured using solvent casting method, rolling method, extrusion method and solid dispersion method. The films are evaluated for dimensions, disintegration, dissolution, tensile strength and folding endurance. It has many applications like in taste masking, immediate release and sustained release formulation INTRODUCTION Intraoral fast-dissolving drug delivery system is placed on Many pharmaceutical dosages are administered in the form the top or the floor of the tongue.

ABSTRACT In addition to transporting the active drug to the site in the body where the drug is intended to exert its action, excipients play an important part in the manufacturing process. They may also be important for keeping the drug from being released too early in the assimilation process in places where it could damage tender tissue and create gastric irritation or stomach upset. In this review we discussed about all the excipients used in the pharmaceutical formulations. KEYWORDS Excipients, Active drug, Tissue, Gastric upset and Formulation.

  • Excipients Used in Pharmaceutical Compounding Preparations Require Excipients to Impart a Variety of Properties to the Compounde
    Excipients Used in Pharmaceutical Compounding Preparations require excipients to impart a variety of properties to the compounded dosage form. From the compounder’s viewpoint, it is prudent to understand the role of each ingredient in the completed preparation. Many times this insight may alert the compounder to potential instabilities that might occur, clues about the preparation’s performance that would be useful/necessary to share with the patient, or provide alternatives if the preparation is not suitable for a patient due to allergies, preferences, etc. Also, excipients have different roles in different preparations, or oftentimes an excipient will play more than one role in a preparation. The list below is a compilation from several reference sources. It is not an all-inclusive list, nor does it provide an absolute classification scheme for all the excipients used in compounded preparations. It does serve as a basic template that can be expanded as desired. INGREDIENT TYPE DEFINITION EXAMPLES Acidifying agent Provides acidic medium for product stability in liquid Citric acid preparations. Acetic acid Fumaric acid Hydrochloric acid Nitric acid Alkalinizing agent Provides alkaline medium for product stability in Ammonia solution liquid preparations.
