FORMULATION DEVELOPMENT OF OLMESARTAN MEDOXOMIL SOLID SELF MICROEMULSIFYING DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM
Journal Title: IJAR-Indian Journal of Applied Research - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 10
Abstract
Olmesartan medoxomil (OLM) is a novel selective angiotensin II receptor blocker USFDA approved drug for the treatment of hypertension. The oral bioavailability of OLM is 26% in healthy humans due to low solubility in water. The aim of the present investigation was to develop a self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) to enhance the solubility of OLM. Thescreening study of OLM with different oils, surfactants and co-surfactants was done. Out of study optimized batch was converted in to solid freeze dried powder using 2% w/v mannitol as cryoprotcatant by lyophilization technique. This freeze dried powder shown good ow properties. The in vitro dissolution shown that about 99.28±0.013% of the drug is released within 45 min in freeze dried Solid-SMEDDS, while plain drug showed only 37.88±0.025% and marketed tablet shown only 58.31±0.015 % dissolution at the end of 45 min. The in vitro dissolution studies indicate that formulation of OLM in the form of freeze dried powder enhances the dissolution properties.
