Abstract
The therapeutic potential of two important flavonoids, i.e. hesperidin and naringenin, remains unutilized due to pharmacokinetics issues, especially poor aqueous solubility. Hydrotropic solid dispersions with different agents like sodium salicylate, niacinamide, benzoic acid, and urea etc. can change the solubility profile of poorly soluble drugs. The current study investigated the potential of different hydrotropic agents in improving the solubility of both natural bioactives. The hydrotropic solid dispersion in 1:3 w/w drug: sodium salicylate ratio showed maximum solubility and dissolution amongst all the tested hydrotropes. This novel and economical approach could be explored for other poorly soluble pharmaceuticals.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Asian Natural Products Research (JANPR) publishes chemical and pharmaceutical studies in the English language in the field of natural product research on Asian ethnic medicine. The journal publishes work from scientists in Asian countries, e.g. China, Japan, Korea and India, including contributions from other countries concerning natural products of Asia. The journal is chemistry-orientated. Major fields covered are: isolation and structural elucidation of natural constituents (including those for non-medical uses), synthesis and transformation (including biosynthesis and biotransformation) of natural products, pharmacognosy, and allied topics. Biological evaluation of crude extracts are acceptable only as supporting data for pure isolates with well-characterized structures.
All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two expert referees.
