Self Micro Emulsifying Drug Delivery System (Smedds): An Approach to Enhance an Oral Bioavailability

2017

Approximately 40%of new chemical entities exhibit poor aqueous solubility and present a major challenge to modern drug delivery system because of their low bioavailability. The oral bioavailability of poorly water soluble drugs may be enhanced when co administered with meal rich in fat has led to increasing recent interest in the formulation of poorly water soluble drugs in lipids. One of the most new way for such a mentioned problem is the Self microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS). Self micro emulsifying drug delivery systems are isotropic mixtures of oil, surfactant, co-surfactant and drug with a unique ability to form fine oil in water microemulsion upon mild agitation following dilution with aqueous phase. The hypothesis behind dissolution rate enhancement with SMEDDS is the spontaneous formation of the emulsion in the gastrointestinal tract which presents the drug in solubilized form and the small size of the formed droplet provides a large interfacial surface area fo...

The various strategies to developed poor aqueous soluble drug for improvement of bioavailability for example, salt development and molecular size reduction of the compound might be one technique to enhance the dissolution rate of the drug. In any case, these methods have their limitations. SMEDDS is one of the novel applications for the delivery of low water soluble and low bioavailability of drug. SMEDDS is a method to improve the aqueous solubility of the medication; SMEDDS are described as isotropic blenders of oils, surfactants, and co-surfactant. Upon slightly stir followed by dilution with distilled water, for example, gastrointestinal liquids, these techniques can define clear o/w micro emulsion. SMEDDS is first choice and key technology for developing the lipophilic drug and other different factors that chance to affect the oral bioavailability. Conclusions. This review paper attempts to describe the preparation of SMEDDS and furthermore discusses the development of pseudo ternary phase diagram for SMEDDS. It describes the mechanism and method of preparation involved in SMEDDS. The capability of oral absorption of drug compound from the SMEDDS relies upon numerous formulation−related parameters, for example, surfactant concentration, oil/surfactant ratio, and hydrophobicity of emulsion, globule size and charge, in vitro, in vivo all of which basically characterized the ability of self-emulsification. SMEDDS are administered as unit dosage form and it also protect the degradation of drug.

A Review on Solid-Selfmicroemulsifying Drug Delivery System: Formulation Strategies to Improve the Bioavailability of Poorly Soluble Drugs

2016

Poorly water soluble drug candidates are becoming more prevalent and it has been estimated that 40-50% of drug molecules are poorly soluble in aqueous media or have a low permeability which does not allow for their adequate absorption from gastrointestinal tract following by oral administration.

Self Micro-emulsifying Drug Delivery System: Approach to Improve Solubility and Permeability

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF INSTITUTIONAL PHARMACY AND LIFE SCIENCES, 2015

Self Micro-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SMEDDS) are usually used to improve the bioavailability of hydrophobic drugs. Approximately 60-70% of new chemical entities exhibit poor aqueous solubility and present a major challenge to modern drug delivery system, because of their low bioavailability. SMEDDS is isotropic (one phase system) mixture of oil or modified oils, surfactants and co-surfactants, which form the fine oil-in-water microemulsion when introduced into aqueous phase under condition of gentle agitation. The digestive motility of the stomach and intestine provide the agitation necessary for self-microemulsion in-vivo. Triglyceride is the one of the component of SMEDDS, which helps in the absorption of drugs from the GI tract. SMEDDS enhance the bioavailability enabling reduction in dose of the drug. SMEDDS is evaluated by various methods like visual assessment, droplet polarity and droplet size, size of emulsion droplet, dissolution test, charge of oil droplets, viscosity determination, in-vitro diffusion study. This article gives an overview of improvement in the rate and extent of oral absorption of drugs by SMEDDS approach. The characterization of SMEDDS and application of SMEDDS is also introduced, with particular emphasis being placed on the developments of Solid self micro-emulsifying delivery system and dosage form of SMEDDS.

Self-Micro Emulsifying Drug Delivery Systems (Smedds): A Review on Physico-Chemical and Biopharmaceutical Aspects

Journal of Drug Delivery and Therapeutics

Nearly 40% of new drug candidates exhibit low solubility in water, which is a challenge in development of optimum oral solid dosage form in terms of formulation design and bioavailability of new pharmaceutical products. Many strategies have been used to overcome these problems either by means of modifying the solubility or maintaining the drug in dissolved form throughout gastric transit time. Much attention has focused on lipid solutions, emulsions and emulsion pre-concentrates, which can be prepared as physically stable formulations suitable for encapsulation of such poorly soluble drugs. Recently, self-micro emulsifying drug delivery systems (SMEDDS) especially have attracted increasing interest primarily because these are physically stable, easy to manufacture, can be filled in soft gelatin capsules and then will generate a drug containing micro-emulsion with a large surface area upon dispersion in the gastrointestinal tract. The emulsions will further facilitate the absorption of the drug due via intestinal lymphatic pathway and by partitioning of drug into the aqueous phase of intestinal fluids. In the present review, an overview of SMEDDS as a key technology for formulating lipophilic drugs and various factors that potentially affect the oral bioavailability of such drugs are presented.

A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW ON SELF-MICRO EMULSIFYING DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEMS: A POTENTIAL STRATEGY FOR DRUGS WITH POOR ORAL BIOAVAILABILITY Review Article

International Journal of Applied Pharmaceutics, 2019

Currently a marked interest in developing lipid-based formulations to deliver lipophilic compounds. Self-emulsifying system has emerged as a dynamic strategy for delivering poorly water-soluble compounds. These systems can embrace a wide variety of oils, surfactants, and co-solvents. An immediate fine emulsion is obtained on exposure to water/gastro-intestinal fluids. The principal interest is to develop a robust formula for biopharmaceutical challenging drug molecules. Starting with a brief classification system, this review signifies diverse mechanisms concerning lipidbased excipients besides their role in influencing bioavailability, furthermore pertaining to their structured formulation aspects. Consecutive steps are vital in developing lipid-based systems for biopharmaceutical challenging actives. Such a crucial structured development is critical for achieving an optimum formula. Hence lipid excipients are initially scrutinized for their solubility and phase behavior, along with biological effects. Blends are screened by means of simple dilution test and are consequently studied with more advanced biopharmaceutical tests. After discerning of the principle formula, diverse technologies are offered to incorporate the fill-mass either in soft/hard gelatin capsules. There is also feasibility to formulated lipid-system as a solid dosage form. Although such solid technologies are desirable but such should not undermine the biopharmaceutical potential of lipid-formulations.
