Research paper thumbnail of Nanoplex: A Review of Nanotechnology Approach for Solubility and Dissolution Rate Enhancement

Formulating Nanoplex is the new trend in nanotechnology. Nanoplex means drug nanoparticle complex with the oppositely charged polyelectrolyte. In this technique, the cationic or anionic drug is reacted with an oppositely charged polyelectrolyte to form a complex. Compared with other nanostructures, the yield of Nanoplex is greater and the complexation efficiency is better. The nanoplex formed shows improved solubility and dissolution rate compared to raw drug crystals. Nanoplex formulation is characterized through the production yield, complexation efficiency, drug loading, particle size and zeta potential using scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction and dialysis studies. Nanoplex have wide-ranging applications in different fields such as can...

Itraconazole is an imidazole derivative and used for the treatment of local and systemic fungal infection. The oral use of Itraconazole is not much recommended as it has many side effects. Commercially Itraconazole topical gel preparation are not available in the market, thus this formulation is made for better patient compliance and to reduce the dose of the drug and to avoid the side effects like liver damage and kidney damage.Methods: The gel was formulated by changing the polymer ratio. Various formulation (F1, F2, F3, F4, F5) were developed by using a suitable polymer (carbopol 934p and HPMC). The formulation was evaluated for % yield, spreadability, extrudability, wash ability and viscosity in vitro drug release study, skin irritation study, stability testing.Results: Viscosity studies of various formulations revealed that formulation F3 was better to compare ...
