Abstract

Present research work was aimed to enhance aqueous solubility and dissolution rate of olanzapine by solid self nano emulsifying drug delivery system(S-SNEDDS). Olanzapine is a BCS class II drug having 65% oral bioavailability; it is used in the treatment of psychosis, depression and mania conditions. Oils, Surfactants, Co surfactants were selected depending upon the saturated solubility of olanzapine in those components; excipients were screened depending on olanzapine solubility in various oils, surfactants and co surfactants. Surfactant: co surfactant {Smix} ratios i.e., 3:1 and 4:1 were prepared to determine nano emulsion regions and also to formulate liquid self nano emulsifying drug delivery system (L-SNEDDS). Pseudo ternary phase diagram were plotted by using Triplot version 4.1.2 software, nano emulsion region was determined and evaluated. Formulations were designed based on saturated solubility of olanzapine and Pseudo ternary phase diagram using various ratios of oils [Capryol 90], surfactants [Kolliphor EL], co surfactants [Lauroglycol 90] depending on its solubility and nano emulsion formation four formulations were developed which are further selected for characterisation of L-SNEDDS like robustness to dilution, self emulsification, determination of droplet size, PDI, Drug loading efficacy, zeta potential and also Invitro drug release. Among those four formulations, F1 (SB184J 4:6) was optimum because compared to other three formulations F3 gave best results in terms of droplet size (66nm) with PDI (0.24), Invitro drug release, dissolution rate of F1 SNEDDS having (88.201± 0.25%). Invitro drug release of F1 formulation was compared with that of Olanzapine [API] (45.281± 0.52%) the results indicating that there is a increase in solubility and dissolution rate of olanzapine by 2.2 times more compared to pure olanzapine (API). F1 (SB184J 4:6) were converted into S-SNEDDS by adsorption process by addition porous carriers (Aerosil 200). Formulated S-SNEDDS were undergone various evaluation parameters and also reconstitution parameters to determine Droplet size and Invitro drug release of solid F1 (SB184J4:6) formulation. The results of present study demonstrates that olanzapine SNEDDS has an ability and potential to enhance solubility and dissolution rate.
