Abstract

The objective of this present study was to explore the utility of “mixed solvency†concept to enhance the solubility of poorlyâ€water soluble drug, candesartan cilexetil (CC) in modified solubilizer system. The objective of this paper is to
reduce the surfactant concentration traditionally involved in the formulation of selfâ€emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS) by proposing an alternate system of solubilizer to provide novel surfactant/cosurfactant system, to aid traditionally involved components in the formulation of SEDDS.The present study showed that “mixed solvency†concept was successfully employed in solubility enhancement of CC in (Transcutol P: B3Mix [1:1]) up to 303 mg/g of blend. Present study demonstrated the promising use of “mixed solvency†concept in solubility enhancement of poorlyâ€water soluble drugs and tool to reduce the net surfactant concentration employed in designing of SEDDS.
