Abstract
Self-emulsifying drug delivery system (SEDDS), a category of lipid-based technology, has gained interest in the recent years for enhancement of solubility and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs. With the progress of research in this field, novel excipients have been developed with enhanced properties. But excipient selection is the key hurdle in the formulation of SEDDS. The objective of this review is to summarize different types of oils, surfactants, co-surfactants which are the key components of liquid SEDDS (L-SEDDS), various carriers utilized in the conversion of L-SEDDS to solid SEDDS (S-SEDDS), their description, properties, grades, and applications in pharmacy. This article provides an overview of solidification techniques to transform L-SEDDS to S-SEDDS which are more stable and have better patience compliance. This review presents numerous literature reports on various excipients used and the discussion on how these excipients affect the final results.
期刊介绍:
Therapeutic uses of a variety of drug carrier systems have significant impact on the treatment and potential cure of many chronic diseases, including cancer, diabetes mellitus, psoriasis, parkinsons, Alzheimer, rheumatoid arthritis, HIV infection, infectious diseases, asthma, and drug addiction. Scientific efforts in these areas are multidisciplinary, involving the physical, biological, medical, pharmaceutical, biological materials, and engineering fields.
Articles concerning this field appear in a wide variety of journals. With the vast increase in the number of articles and the tendency to fragment science, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep abreast of the literature and to sort out and evaluate the importance and reliability of the data, especially when proprietary considerations are involved. Abstracts and noncritical articles often do not provide a sufficiently reliable basis for proper assessment of a given field without the additional perusal of the original literature. This journal bridges this gap by publishing authoritative, objective, comprehensive multidisciplinary critical review papers with emphasis on formulation and delivery systems. Both invited and contributed articles are subject to peer review.
