Aim: The present study endeavours to develop a solid self-microemulsifying nutraceutical drug delivery system for hesperidin (HES) using quality by design (QbD) to improve its biopharmaceutical attributes.

Methods: A 3 full factorial design was employed to study the influence of factors on selected responses. Risk assessment was performed by portraying Ishikawa fishbone diagram and failure mode effect analysis (FMEA). The antidiabetic study was carried on induced diabetic rats.

Results: The optimised liquid SMEDDS-HES (OF) formulation showed emulsification time ( ) = 102.5 ± 2.52 s, globule size ( ) = 225.2 ± 3.40 nm, polydispersity index ( ) = 0.294 ± 0.62, and zeta potential ( ) = -25.4 ± 1.74 mV, respectively. The solid SMEDDS-HES (SOF-7) formulation was characterised by FTIR, PXRD, DSC, and SEM. The shelf life of SOF-7 was found to be 32.88 months. The heamatological and histopathological data of diabetic rats showed prominent antidiabetic activity.

Conclusions: The optimised formulation showed improved dissolution, desired stability, and promising antidiabetic activity.

The lack of local availability for drugs in the colon can be addressed by preparing a self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) of curcumin (Cur) which is ultimately used for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). From preformulation studies, Lauroglycol FCC (oil), Tween 80 (surfactant), Transcutol HP (co-surfactant), and Avicel (solid carrier) were selected for the preparation of blank liquid and solid Cur-loaded SMEDDSs (S-Cur-SMEDDSs). Z-average size (12.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates improving the delivery of tacrolimus (FK506), an immunosuppressant, by using a self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) to enhance its solubility and bioavailability.
  • - Liquid SMEDDS was solidified using Aeroperl® 300 Pharma, which showed excellent performance in drug dissolution and compatibility, and achieving complete drug release was facilitated by precoating with polyvinylpyrrolidone K30.
  • - The resulting hydroxypropyl methylcellulose-based tablets demonstrated a significant increase in bioavailability (179.02%) compared to the marketed formulation Advagraf®, suggesting a promising direction for future SMEDDS applications.

Background: Budesonide (BUD) is a BCS class II medication with poor water solubility and limited oral bioavailability. In this study, innovative solid self-microemulsifying drug delivery systems (BUD-SMEDDS) were developed for effective local management of distal ulcerative colitis (UC).

Methods: Based on solubility and emulsification tests, the components of the self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) were Capryol™ 90, Tween 80, and Transcutol HP.

In recent years, bioactive constituents from plants have been investigated as an alternative to synthetic approaches of therapeutics. Mangiferin (MGF) is a xanthone glycoside extracted from Mangifera indica and has shown numerous medicinal properties, such as antimicrobial, anti-diarrhoeal, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive, anti-tumours, and anti-diabetic effects. However, there are numerous challenges to its effective therapeutic usage, including its low water solubility, limited absorption, and poor bioavailability.
