Abstract: The solubility behavior of drugs remains one of the most challenging parts of formulation development. High solubility and permeability are found in only 8% of the novel compound.  The drug's therapeutic effectiveness depends upon bioavailability and ultimately upon solubility. Salt formation, particle size reduction, etc. have commonly been used to increase the dissolution rate of drugs, there are some practical restrictions with these techniques the desired bioavailability enhancement may not always be achieved. Solid dispersion seems to be an applicable technique for overcoming this problem. In this review, it is intended to discuss recent advances related to the area of solid dispersion. Finally, industrially achievable alternative approaches in the manufacture of solid dispersion have been highlighted.

 INTRODUCTION:        

Solubility is defined quantitatively as the concentration of the solute in a saturated solution at a certain temperature, and qualitatively as the spontaneous interaction of two or more substances to form a homogenous molecular dispersion. A saturated solution is one in which the solute and solvent are in equilibrium.1

Solubility enhancement is an important metric to consider when developing a formulation for an orally delivered medication with low water solubility. Almost 90% of medications are taken orally.2

To increase the dissolving rate, solubility, and oral absorption of weakly water-soluble medicines, the solid dispersion (SD) approach has been widely used.3 The maximum concentration of the drug solute dissolved in the solvent under certain temperature, pH, and pressure conditions is referred to as drug solubility. The therapeutic effectiveness of a medicine is determined by its bioavailability and, ultimately, the solubility of drug molecules.4

 

SOLID DISPERSION:

The term ‘solid dissipation’ has been employed to describe a family of lozenge forms whereby the medicine is dispersed in a biologically inert matrix, generally to enhance oral bioavailability.5 They first proposed the conformation of a eutectic admixture of an inadequately water-answerable medicine is physiologically inert, fluently answerable carriers and the carriers are introduced in the time 169 by Chiou and Riegelman.6

To circumvent the limited bioavailability of lipophilic medications, solid dispersion was originally introduced by generating eutectic mixes of pharmaceuticals with water-soluble carriers. The development of solid dispersions as a practically viable way for increasing the bioavailability of poorly water-soluble pharmaceuticals overcome previous limits such as salt formation, cosolvent solubilization, and particle size reduction.

TYPES OF SOLID DISPERSION:

1.                  Eutectic mixture:7,8,9

Simple eutectic mixtures are made up of two substances that are entirely miscible in liquid form but only to a very small extent in solid form.

These are made by quickly solidifying the fused melt of two substances that exhibit total liquid miscibility and minimal solid solubility.

In an aqueous medium, a mixture of poorly water-soluble medicines is dissolved. The carrier is quickly dissolved, releasing a better crystal form of the drug.

2.                  Amorphous precipitation in crystalline matrix:10

The main difference between this and simple eutectic mixes is that the medication precipitates out in an amorphous form.

The drug's molecular size is decreased to that of a particle in a solid solution.

In crystalline urea, sulfathiazole precipitated as an amorphous substance.

3.                  Solid solution:11

Solid solutions are similar to liquid solutions in that they only include one phase, regardless of the number of components.

In stable solutions, the drug's particle length has been reduced to its smallest possible size, or the molecular dimensions and the dissolving charge are determined by the service's dissolution charge.

Two categories of solid solutions exist:

a.                   Continuous solid solution

b.                  Discontinuous solid solution

a.                  Continuous solid solution

The components are in all amounts miscible in a continuous solid solution. This implies, in theory, that the molecules of the two components' respective molecules have stronger bonds than those of the other molecules.

b.                  Discontinuous solid solution

There are restrictions on each component's solubility in the other component in the case of discontinuous solid solutions.

4.                  Substitutional solid dispersion:12

Only when the size of the solute molecules differs from the size of the solvent molecules by around 15% or less is substitution possible.

In this type of solution system, the solid molecules that make up the crystal lattice of the solid solvent are substituted for the solvent molecules.

5.                  Interstitial solid solution:13

The interstitial spaces between the solvent molecules in the crystal lattice are occupied by the dissolved molecules. The ratio of solvent to solute molecules should not be greater than 0.59.

The dissolved molecules fill the gaps between the solvent molecules in the crystal lattice.

6.                  Glass suspension & solution:14

A homogenous glassy system with a solute that dissolves in it is called a glass solution.

When a solute dissolve in a glassy solvent, the result is a homogeneous, glassy system known as a glass solution or glass suspension.

PROCESS OF SOLUBILISATION: 20

The process of solubilization consists of the breaking of inter-ionic and intermolecular bonds in the solute, the separation of the molecules of the solvent to provide space in the solvent for the solute and interaction between the solvent and the solute molecule or ion.

When the Solubilisation process occurs breakdown of the solute bond occurs and holes can be seen as shown in Figure 1.

When the solubilization process occurs, solid molecules break down because of the breaking of intermolecular bonding shown in Figure 2.

About freed solid molecule is integrated with the solvent shown in Figure 3.

 

 

 

 

 

FACTOR AFFECTING THE SOLUBILITY: 21,22,23

The solubility depends upon the nature and composition of the solvent medium the physical form of the solid, the temperature, and the pressure of the system. factors that affect solubility are the following

1.                  Particle size

Particle size effect on the solubility. The size of the solid particle influences the solubility because as a particle becomes smaller, the surface area to volume ratio will increase. The larger surface area allows greater interaction with the solvent and enhances the solubility.

2.                  Temperature

Solubility is affected by the temperature. A few solid solutes are less soluble in hot solutions.  The solubility of the material can be increased by increasing the temperature of the solvent. For Ex: in all gases, solubility decreases as the temperature of the solution increases.

3.                  Molecular size

Solubility is affected by the molecular size of the particle. Higher molecular weight and larger molecules result in a decrease in a substance's solubility. Larger molecules are more difficult to surround with solvent molecules.

4.                  Nature of solute & solvent

The nature of solute and solvent depends on the concentration of solute in a specific amount of solvent t at a specific amount of temperature. Only a little bit of lead (II) chloride can dissolve in water, while a lot of more zinc chloride can dissolve in the same amount of water. Different substances have different abilities to dissolve in water. The larger difference in the solubilities of these two substances is the result of differences in their nature.

5.                  Pressure

For solids and liquid solutes, solubility is not affected by the change in their pressure but for gaseous solutes, solubility increases as pressure increases and decreases as pressure decreases. For solids and liquid solutes, changes in pressure have practically not affected solubility.

6.                  Polarity

The polarity of the solute and solvent molecules affects the solubility. Generally, like dissolves like means non-polar solute molecules will dissolve in the non-polar solvents, and polar solute molecules will dissolve in the polar solvents. The polar solute molecules have a positive and a negative end of the molecule.

7.                  Polymorphs

Polymorphs can vary in melting point. Hence the melting point of the solid is related to solubility, so polymorphs will have different solubilities. The capacity for a substance to the crystallize in more than one crystalline form is polymorphism.

8.                  Rate of solution

The rate of solution is a detection of how fast substances dissolve in solvents. Various factors affecting the rate of solution are-

·                     Size of the particles

·                                       Temperature

·                                       Amount of solute already dissolved.

·                                       Stirring

 

METHODS OF SOLID DISPERSION:

1.                  Kneading method:24,25

In this technique, the carrier is penetrated with water and transformed into a paste. The drug is then added and agglomerated for a specific time. The agglomerated mixture is then dried and passed through a sieve if necessary. A mixture of accurately measured drug and carrier is wetted with solvent and agglomerated thoroughly for some time in a glass mortar.

2.                  Solvent melting method:26

This method possesses the unique advantages of both the fusion and solvent evaporation methods. The accurately measured drug is dissolved in an organic solvent. The solution is incorporated into the melt of mannitol and cooled suddenly, and the mass is kept in the desiccator for complete drying.

3.                  Spray drying method:27

This method possesses the unique advantages of both the fusion and solvent evaporation methods. The accurately measured drug is dissolved in an organic solvent. The solution is incorporated into the melt of mannitol and cooled suddenly, and the mass is kept in the desiccator for complete drying.

4.                  Supercritical fluid method:28

The process of supercritical fluid has emerged as an alternative method to the solvent method, forming small particle size precipitation and low organic matter content, with better flow. We used this technique due to the advantages associated with its use, as a non-toxic gas, non-flammable, inexpensive, and low critical temperature, making it attractive in the processing of heat-sensitive drugs and the process of solvent removal extremely controlled.

5.                  Co grinding method:29

The physical mixture of drug and carrier is mixed for a specific time employing a blender at a particular speed. The mixture is charged into the chamber of a vibration ball mill.

Ex. chlordiazepoxide and mannitol.

6.                  Gel entrapment technique:30

Hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose is dissolved in an organic solvent to form a clear and transparent gel. The organic solvent evaporated is done under the vacuum. Solid dispersions are reduced in size by glass mortar and sieved by the Gel entrapment technique.

7.                  Melting/Fusion method:31

Drugs and carriers are mixed by using a mortar and pestle. To form a homogenous dispersion the mixture is heated at or above the melting point of all the components.

E.g., Albendazole and urea.

8.                  Solvent evaporation method:32

In this technique, both the drug and carrier are dissolved in an organic solvent. After the complete dissolution, the solvent is evaporated. Removal of organic solvents such as chloroform from the large masses of material it may be difficult because the solid dispersions are usually amorphous and it may be viscous and waxy.

9.                  Dropping method:33

The dropping technique, developed by Ulrich et al. (197) to provide the crystallization of different chemicals, is a new procedure for producing round particles from melted solid dispersions. This method not only simplifies the manufacturing process but also gives a higher dissolution rate. The size and shape of the particles can be affected by factors such as the viscosity of the melt and the size of the pipette.

10.              Direct capsule filling:34

Direct filling of hard gelatin capsules with the liquid melt of solid dispersions to avoid grinding-induced changes in the crystallinity of the drug.

11.              Lyophilization technique:35

Freeze-drying involves the transfer of heat and mass and forms the product under preparation. Lyophilization is a mixing technique where the drug and carrier are dissolved in a common solvent, frozen, and sublimed to obtain a lyophilized molecular dispersion.35

12.              Electrospinning method:36

It is used in the polymer industry and combines solid dispersion technology with nanotechnology. In this process, a liquid stream of a drug or polymer solution is subjected to a potential between 5 and 2 kV.

 

VARIOUS TECHNIQUES USED IN SOLUBILITY ENHANCEMENT

I.CHEMICAL MODIFICATION

1.                  Ph adjustment:37

Poorly water-soluble drugs with parts of the molecule that can be protonated (base) or deprotonated (acid) may clearly of Ph be dissolved in water by applying a pH change. The principle of pH adjustment is used for both oral and parental administration. Poor water-soluble drugs may dissolve in water by applying a pH change.

2.                  Salt formation:38

It is the most common and effective method of enhancing solubility and dissolution rates of acidic and basic drugs.

3.                  Co-crystallization:

It is also specified as molecular complexes. Only three of the co-crystallizing agents are classified and generally recognized as safe. The presence of saccharin, nicotinamide, and acetic acid limits its use in medicine.

4.                  Co-solvency:39 The solubility of a poorly water-soluble drug can be increased continuously by the addition of a water-miscible solvent in which the drug has a good solubility known as a co-solvent. The co-solvent system works by decreasing the interfacial tension between the aqueous solution and hydrophobic solute.

5.                  Hydrotropic: 40 It is a solubilization phenomenon whereby the addition of a large amount of a second solute increases the aqueous solubility of another solute. hydrotropic is a solubilization phenomenon whereby the addition of a large amount of a second solute increases the aqueous solubility of the existing solute.

6.                  Solubilizing agent:41

The solubility of poorly soluble drugs can be improved by various solubilizing materials like PEG 400 is improving the solubility of hydrochlorothiazide.

 

II.PHYSICAL MODIFICATION

1.                  Particle size reduction:42

The size of the solid particle affected the solubility because as a particle becomes smaller, the surface area to volume ratio increases.

Particle size reduction can be attained by micronization and nanosuspension.

a)                  Micronization:

The particle size reduction technique enhances the solubility and dissolution rate of poorly water-soluble drugs due to the enormous surface that is generated.

In micronization, the size of the drug particles plays a big role in how well the drug can dissolve. So, the smaller the particles, the better the solubility.

The process is also called “Micro-milling”. Examples of a drug whose bioavailability have been increased by micronization include griseofulvin and several steroidal and sulpha drugs.

b)                 Nanonization:43

It is another technique to achieve the particle size reduction and has been employed for the drugs including tarazepide, atovaquone, amphotericin-B, paclitaxel, and buparvaquone.

Recently, various nanonization systems have been developed to increase the dissolution rates and bioavailability of numerous drugs that are poorly soluble in water.

Nanosuspensions are prepared by homogenization and wet milling process.

Methods:

-Precipitation technique

- Media milling

- High-pressure homogenization

- Combined precipitation and homogenization.

 

2.                   Modification of crystal habit:

a)                  Polymorphs

They are depending upon the internal structure, a solid can exist either in a crystalline or amorphous form polymorphism.

Polymorphs are of two types:

Enantiotropy

Monotropic

b)                 Pseudo polymorphs

The stoichiometric type of force where the solvent molecules are in corporate in the crystal lattice of the solid is called the solvate and the trapped solvent is the solvent of crystallization.

3.                            Complexation:44,45 Complexation is the union between two or more molecules to form a non-bonded entity with a well-defined stoichiometry. It relies on relatively poor forces such as London forces, hydrogen bonding, and hydrophobic interactions.

Approaches to Make Complexes:

·                     Physical blending method

·                     Kneading method

·                     Co-precipitation technique

·                     Solution/ solvent evaporation

·                     Neutralization precipitation method

·                     Milling/ grinding technique 

·                     Atomization/spray drying method

·                     Lyophilization 

·                     Microwave irradiation method

·                     Supercritical antisolvent technique.

4.                            Solubilization by surfactant: 

Surfactants are more useful as absorption enhancers and enhance both the dissolution rate and permeability of the drug.

a)                  Microemulsion:46

The term microemulsion was first introduced by Jack H. Shulman in 159. The microemulsion is a four-component system composed of an external phase as well an internal phase, a surfactant, and a co-surfactant. Non-ionic surfactants, such as tweens and labrafil with high hydrophilic-lipophilic balances are often used to ensure immediate formation of o/w droplets during manufacturing.

b)                 Self-microemulsion drug delivery system: 47

This is an anhydrous system of microemulsion. It is composed of oil, surfactant, and cosurfactant it can form o/w microemulsion. when they dispersed in an aqueous phase under gentle agitation. A combination of ionic and non-ionic surfactants is also more effective.

 

5.                            Drug dispersion in a carrier:

By using these three factors that help the particle size of a drug decrease to submicron level are the use of solid solution, the use of eutectic mixture, the use of solid dispersion

a)                  Solid solution:

A solid solution is a binary system consisting of a solid solute molecular dispersed in a solid solvent. Hence, the two compartments crystallize together in a homogenous one-phase system – solid solutions are also called molecular dispersion or mixed crystals.

b)                  Solid dispersion 48

Solid dispersion refers to a group of solid products consisting of at least two components, such as a hydrophilic matrix and a hydrophobic drug. The matrix can be crystalline amorphous.

The concept of solid dispersion was originally invented by Sekiguchi and Obi, who investigated the generation and dissolution performance of eutectic melts of sulfonamide drug and a water-soluble carrier in the early 160s.

Various techniques to prepare the solid dispersion of hydrophobic drugs to improve their aqueous solubility are listed as follows:

                    Fusion Process

                    Solvent Method

                    Fusion-Solvent Method

                    Spray Drying

                    Lyophilization (Spray Freeze Drying Method)

                    Hot-melt Extrusion

 

APPLICATION:49,50

·                     Dissolution

·                     Intrinsic dissolution

·                     Dynamic solubility

 

 

CONCLUSION:

For the poorly soluble medicines, solubility is the most crucial factor in determining oral bioavailability. Dissolution of the drugs is the rate-determining step for the oral absorption of poorly water-soluble drugs, which can subsequently affect the in vivo absorption of the drug. Currently, only 8% of new drug candidates have both more solubility and permeability. Because of the solubility problem of many drugs, their bioavailability of them gets affected and hence solubility enhancement is necessary. Solid dispersion technology is one of the possible procedures that increase the solubility of poorly soluble drugs.

The various technologies discussed have been successful in the laboratory as well as the scale-up. Some products have been marketed using technologies such as surface-active carriers. Hence this technology is expected to form a base for the use of many poorly water-soluble and water-insoluble drugs in their solid-dispersion formulations shortly.

Solid dispersions can increase the dissolution rate of drugs with poor water-solubility, but the stability of these systems needs to be discussed, and carriers need to be selected for drugs on a case-by-case basis. Solvent systems consisting of mixtures of solvents can be used to optimize concentration in solution processing parameters that influence the type of glass amorphous system formed.
