Nanosuspensions as a promising approach to enhance bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs : An update
Abstract
Solubility is a vital factor for devloping drug delivery systems for poorly water soluble drugs. Several conventional approaches for enhancement of solubility have limited applicability, especially when the drugs are poorly water soluble. Nanosuspension technology can be used to enhance the solubilty, stability as well as the bioavailability of poorly water soluble drugs. Nanosuspensions are biphasic systems comperising of pure drug particles dispersed in an aqueous vehicle, stabilized by surfac active agents. Fabrication of nanosuspension is simple and more advantageous than other approaches. Techniques like high-pressure homogenization, wet milling, emulsification, solvent evaporation, bottom up technology and top down technology have been applicable in the fabrication of nanosuspensions. Nanosuspension delivery is possible by several routes, such as oral, pulmonary, parenteral and ocular routes. Nanosuspension not only solves solubility and bioavailability issue, but improve drug safety and efficacy. In this context, we reviewed the current techniques used to develop nanosuspensions and their recents studies application in drug delivery system.
Keywords : Solubility, fabrication, Characterization, Applications, Nanosuspension.
