  Abstract: A significant barrier to optimizing oral bioavailability is the inadequate water solubility of numerous pharmaceutical compounds. This study examined whether polymer systems utilizing polyethylene glycol (PEG) may enhance the solubility and bioavailability of a poorly soluble model drug. Multiple PEG polymers with molecular weights between 2,000 and 10,000 Da were utilized to produce PEGylated preparations. The formulations were subsequently evaluated for dissolution efficacy, medication loading capacity, particle size, and solubility …
