NANOTECHNOLOGY APPROACH-SELF NANOEMULSIFYING DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM (SNEDDS)

Abstract

This review article aims to develop nanotechnology in novel drug delivery systems using self-nano emulsifying drug delivery systems (SNEDDS). This Article was selected using a database with Prism Guideline diagrams. A total of 18 articles obtained from 2010-2020 were used as the primary reference to be analyzed using a systematic review method in the form of meta-synthesis. This review describes the mechanism of SNEDDS in increasing absorption, the components of the SNEDDS formula, the characterization of self-nano emulsifying drug delivery systems (SNEDDS), the effect of the physicochemical properties of SNEDDS on in vivo activity, and the basis for selecting compounds in the SNEDDS formulation. Self-Nanoemulsifying Drug Delivery System (SNEDDS) is a novel drug delivery system from nanoemulsion used to increase the solubility of lipophilic drugs. SNEDDS is an isotropic mixture consisting of oil, surfactant, and co-surfactant. SNEDDS is considered pre-concentrated nanoemulsions or anhydrous forms of nanoemulsions. In SNEDDS, the formation of nanoemulsions occurs when self-nanoemulsions come into contact with gastrointestinal fluids in the presence of light stirring in the peristaltic motion of the gastrointestinal tract. In general, SNEDDS have small particle sizes in the range of 10-200 nm. The application of the self nanoemulsion development system can be used for BCS Class II lipophilic drug compounds and BCS Class IV drugs. SNEDDS is a novel drug delivery system that can be used for oral drug delivery. In occlusion, a self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) is a new approach for the formulation of drug molecules with poor water solubility. Self Nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) is an isotropic mixture of oil, surfactant, and co-surfactant.
