The objective of the study is to prepare a new self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) with amphiphilic diblock copolymers methoxy poly (ethylene glycol)-block-poly (ε-caprolactone) (MPEG-b-PCL) and to investigate the effect of MPEG-b-PCL on the characteristics of SNEDDS. MPEG-b-PCL was synthesized and characterized by (1)H-NMR, IR and GPC. Various ratios of MPEG-b-PCL copolymers and Tween 80 were used as emulsifier to prepare the new SNEDDS. SNEDDS with high oil and low surfactant content forms a semi-solid gel at room temperature, which could be effectively sealed in soft or hard capsules. The mean droplet size of SNEDDS-generated nanoemulsions significantly decreased after the addition of diblock polymer and increased with increase of PCL chain in MPEG-b-PCL. The drug Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) was chosen as the model compound in this study due to its insolubility in water. CoQ10 from SNEDDS was rapidly dissolved regardless of the fluid condition.

Valsartan (VST) is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist with low oral bioavailability. The present study developed a solid self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (S-SNEDDS) to enhance the oral absorption and bioavailability of VST. VST-loaded liquid SNEDDS (VST@L-SNEDDS) was prepared by investigating the solubility of VST and constructing the pseudo-ternary phase diagrams.

The ability to predict the absorption of exenatide (Ex), a GLP-1 analogue, after oral dosing to rats in self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (SNEDDS), using in vitro methods, was assessed. Ex was complexed with soybean phosphatidylcholine (SPC) prior to loading into SNEDDS. A design of experiments (DoE) approach was employed to develop SNEDDS incorporating medium-chain triglycerides (MCT), medium-chain mono- and diglycerides (MGDG), Kolliphor® RH40, and monoacyl phosphatidylcholine.

Introduction: Rhein, a natural bioactive lipophilic compound with numerous pharmacological activities, faces limitations in clinical application due to poor aqueous solubility and low bioavailability. Thus, this study aimed to develop a rhein-loaded self-nano emulsifying drug delivery system (RL-SNEDDS) to improve solubility and bioavailability.
Methods: The RL-SNEDDS was prepared by aqueous titration method with eucalyptus oil (oil phase), tween 80 (surfactant), and PEG 400 (co-surfactant) and optimization was performed by 3 factorial design.

Flurbiprofen (FBP) is poorly water-soluble BCS class II drug with anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, used to treat arthritis and degenerative joint diseases. This study was aimed to develop SNEDDS loaded with FBP. Six SNEDDS using two oils olive oil (F, F, F) and castor oil (F, F, F) with three different Smix ratios consisting of Tween 20 and PEG 400 (1:1, 1:2, 2:1) were prepared and characterized.
