Background: The purpose of this study was to develop an innovative surfactant-free lipidbased formulation (LF) for improving oral bioavailability of loratadine based on using solid particles colloidal silicon dioxide (CSD) as emulsifier and solid carrier.
Methods: Loratadine was dissolved in oil solution with the aid of co-solvent and LF formulations were prepared by a simple adsorption and milling technique. The LF Powder was evaluated in terms of angle of repose and X-ray powder diffraction. After dispersing and emulsifying in water, the particle size and morphology were also characterized. In vitro dissolution and pharmacokinetic behavior in vivo were also studied.
Results: Orthogonal design indicated that the amount of CSD in formulations had a major and significant influence on emulsification. The optimal formulation showed LF with good flowability and without crystallization or deposition of loratadine in it.
Conclusion: After dispersing in water, an emulsion with the mean droplet size of 1.2μm was obtained. Although the dissolution of drug from LF was slower in vitro in acidic aqueous solution, pharmacokinetic studies in vivo showed that the bioavailability of loratadine increased 2.49-fold by CF compared to a commercial tablet.

Loratadine (LOR) is a second-generation antihistamine that exhibits a low and variable oral bioavailability (10-40%) and delayed onset owing to poor solubility and an extensive first-pass effect. Therefore, in light of the clinical need, the main goal of the present study was to develop sublingual fast-dissolving thin films of LOR-citric acid co-amorphous systems (LOR-CAs) with the aim of eliciting a faster onset and improving the bioavailability. We formulated sublingual fast-dissolving thin films of LOR by a film-casting technique using hydrophilic polymers like hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC E15), polyvinyl pyrrolidone K30 (PVP K30), and hydroxypropyl cellulose EL (HPC-EF) and citric acid as a pH modulator, while glycerin served as a plasticizer.

Amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) in a polymer matrix is a powerful method for enhancing the solubility and bioavailability of otherwise crystalline, poorly water-soluble drugs. 6-Carboxycellulose acetate butyrate (CCAB) is a relatively new commercial cellulose derivative that was introduced for use in waterborne coating applications. As CCAB is an amphiphilic, carboxyl-containing, high glass transition temperature () polymer, characteristics essential to excellent ASD polymer performance, we chose to explore its ASD potential.

Second-generation tricyclic H1 antihistamine loratadine (LTD) has a high permeability, low water solubility, and an oral absorption rate dependent on the rate at which it dissolves in the gastrointestinal tract. One approach suggested for improving the drug's solubility and rate of dissolution is natural solid dispersion (NSD). The present study evaluated the use of hydrophilic natural polymers, sodium alginate (SA), hyaluronic acid (HA), and xyloglucan (XG), in natural solid dispersion to enhance LTD solubility and dissolution rate.

Loratadine (LoR) is a highly lipophilic and practically insoluble in water, hence having a low oral bioavailability. As it is formulated as topical gel, it competitively binds with the receptors, thus reducing the side-effects. The objective of this study was to prepare LoR loaded nanosponge (LoR-NS) in gel for topical delivery.

Loratadine (LRD), a non-sedating and slow-acting antihistamine, is often given in combination with short-onset chlorpheniramine maleate (CPM) to increase efficacy. However, LRD has poor water solubility resulting in low bioavailability. The aim of this study was to improve LRD solubility by preparing co-amorphous LRD-CPM.
