Abstract
The aim of the present study was to develop a self nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) for the improved oral delivery of Rosuvastatin, a lipid lowering agent. Captex 810D, based on the higher solubility of Rosuvastatin was selected as an oil phase. Mixture of permeation enhancers such as Solutol HS15 and Acconon MC8 was selected as surfactants for the formulation of SNEDDS. Formulated SNEDDS upon mixing with water, dispersed rapidly into fine droplets size ranging from 95-263nm. Further the SNEDDS was evaluated for self nanoemulsification time, precipitation, cloud point, morphology, in-vitro drug release and ex-vivo permeation. Formulation (F3) showed the globule size of 139nm, quick self nanoemulsifiation time (20 sec) and transparency (97%). Maximum drug release of 99.9% and higher drug permeation of 95% was observed with formulation F3 when compared with conventional tablet. The formulated SNEDDS can be used to improve the oral absorption and bioavailability of Rosuvastatin.
