Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine specific combination of pharmaceutical excipients that lead to formulation of efficient nebivolol hydrochloride SMEDDS and its subsequent formulation into IR-SET (Immediate release- Self emulsifying tablet) which will enhance its solubility and dissolution. Solubility and Pseudo-ternary phase studies were carried out to identify the excipients showing highest solubility and to identify the zone of microemulsion with selected ingredients. Liquid-SMEDDS (L‑SMEDDS) were optimized for Concentration of oil(X1) and Smix(X2) and formulated using a combination of Kollisolv GTA as oil, Tween 80 as surfactant and propylene glycol as co-surfactant which gave smaller droplet size(Y1) 55.98nm , Emulsification time (Y2) 16±1.5 s,% transmittance (Y3) 99.94±0.47%. Neusilin US2 was used as solid carrier for solidification of L-SMEDDS in to Solid-SMEDDS (S-SMEDDS) by adsorption technique. IR-SET of nebivolol were formulated with S-SMEDDS and optimized for the concentration of binder (X1) (PVP K30) and superdisintegrant (X2) (KOLLIDON CL) which showed low Disintegration time (Y1) (92±0.5s) and low Friability(Y2)(0.424±0.03%). Also the DSC and XRD data revealed the molecular state of the drug in S-SMEDDS. The extent of in-vivo drug release and ex-vivo diffusion values from L-SMEDDS and IR-SET was much higher than pure drug and marketed tablet. In conclusion, the results showed potential of SMEDDS to improve solubility and thus the bioavailability.
