Studies in Effect of Methyl Methacrylate to Butylacrylate Ratio on the Properties of TiO2/poly(methyl methacrylate-co-butylacrylate) Core–Shell Composite Nanoparticles Prepared by Microemulsion Polymerization
Abstract: AbstractTitanium dioxide, as a core, was coupled with the poly(methyl methacrylate-co-butyl acrylate) using amino propyltriethoxy silane as a coupling agent. A two-stage semi-continuous microemulsion polymerization method was used for the synthesis of these core–shell nanoparticles. Ratio of methyl methacrylate to butyl acrylate was varied in the shell of the nanoparticles and the prepared core–shell composite nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometer, differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron …

Design and Development of Self Microemulsyfying Drug Delivery System of Olmesartan Medoxomil
Abstract: Olmesartan Medoxomil is poorly water soluble drug. It comes into the BCS II drug. Hence oral bioavailability of Olmesartan Medoxomil is less (26%). The purpose of this study is to develop novel dosage form of the self-microemulsifying drug delivery systems (SMEDDS) for the Olmesartan Medoxomil for enhancing its solubility hence the oral bioavailability. Before the formulation of SMEDDS, solubility study was performed in different excipients and select excipients on basis …

An Insightful Study on SMEDDS Challenges and Potential Strategies
Abstract: Self-microemulsifying drug delivery systems (SMEDDS) have gained attention as an effective approach to enhance the bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs. They are innovative lipid-based formulations designed to enhance the solubility, bioavailability, and therapeutic efficacy of poorly water-soluble drugs. The development of SMEDDS involves systematic selection of components based on solubility and emulsification efficiency, followed by optimization of ratios using pseudo-ternary phase diagrams. The resulting formulations are evaluated for droplet size, …

Formulation and Evaluation of Luliconazole Loaded Microemulgel
Abstract: The aim of present study is to formulate and evaluate Luliconazole Microemulgel. Microemulgel is combination of microemulsion and gel. The problem associated with delivery of hydrophobic drug can be solved by incorporating drug in microemulsion and then microemulsion is combined with gel to form microemulgel. Solubility of Luliconazole is determined and it was found to be soluble in ethanol, methanol, chloroform, while it was insoluble in water. The melting point …
