Abstract

Solubility & dissolution rate enhancement from solid oral dosage form is a key issue for current formulation and development. This review discusses, out of several techniques available, liquisolid system to improve dissolution rate of water insoluble drugs and to enhance dissolution rate of water soluble drugs. Different carriers and coating materials like Fujicalin®, Neusilin®, Avicel®, and Aerosil® can be used as carrier materials to prepare liquisolid system. Various non-volatile solvents like propylene glycol, liquid polyethylene glycols, polysorbates, glycerine, N,N-dimethylacetamide and fixed oils can be used to dissolve water insoluble molecules. Liquid drugs can be mixed directly with carriers to produce liquisolid systems. Liquisolid systems can be used to either enhance or retard drug release.
