Nanosuspension/Microemulsion

Nanosuspension/Microemulsion

One of the main problems associated with poorly soluble drugs is the low bioavailability and poor solubility. Formulation as a nanosuspension is an attractive and promising alternative to address these issues. Nanosuspensions consist of poorly soluble drugs that are insoluble in water and oil, and the solid particles have a particle size distribution typically less than 1 micron, which enhances the solubility of poorly water soluble drugs as well as lipid media. Nanosuspensions are simple to prepare and have been developed as promising candidates for the effective delivery of hydrophobic drugs, typically for oral and topical use or parenteral and pulmonary administration. The nanosuspension not only solves the problem of poor solubility and bioavailability, but also changes the pharmacokinetics of the drug, thereby improving the safety and effectiveness of the drug.

Advantages of Nanosuspensions

  • Simple preparation
  • Increased dissolution rate and saturated solubility
  • Improved adhesion
  • Increased bioavailability, resulting in reduced doses,
  • Easy Large-scale production
  • Enhance the solubility and bioavailability of drugs
  • Suitable for hydrophilic drugs
  • Higher drug loading can be achieved
  • Dose reduction is possible
  • Enhance the physical and chemical stability of drugs
  • Provide a passive drug targeting
  • Improvement of dissolution velocity
  • Increased saturation solubility
  • Improved bioadhesivity, versatility in surface modification
  • Ease of postproduction processing
