The Significance of Utilizing In Vitro Transfer Model and Media Selection to Study the Dissolution Performance of Weak Ionizable Bases: Investigation Using Saquinavir as a Model Drug.

This study investigated the dissolution behavior of BCS class II ionizable weak base Saquinavir and its mesylate salt in the multi-compartment transfer setup employing different composition of dissolution media. The dissolution behavior of Saquinavir was studied by using a two-compartment transfer model representing the transfer of drug from the stomach (donor compartment) to the upper intestine (acceptor compartment). Various buffers like phosphate, bicarbonate, FaSSIF, and FeSSIF were employed.

Investigation of drug-polymer miscibility, biorelevant dissolution, and bioavailability improvement of Dolutegravir-polyvinyl caprolactam-polyvinyl acetate-polyethylene glycol graft copolymer solid dispersions.

The aim of the current study was to prepare the efficacious amorphous solid dispersion of poorly water-soluble compound, Dolutegravir. After theoretical and experimental determination of drug-polymer miscibility, polyvinyl caprolactam-polyvinyl acetate-polyethylne glycol graft copolymer was chosen as a polymer. The solid dispersions of Dolutegravir were prepared by quench cooling and solvent evaporation method.
