Effect of vinylpyrrolidone polymers on the solubility and supersaturation of drugs; a study using the Cheqsol method

The development of methods to increase the bioavailability of drugs is of great interest, especially for those which are poorly soluble or permeable. One of the strategies to enhance the solubility (which in turn has the potential of increase bioavailability) of drugs is the use of additives in the...

description The development of methods to increase the bioavailability of drugs is of great interest, especially for those which are poorly soluble or permeable. One of the strategies to enhance the solubility (which in turn has the potential of increase bioavailability) of drugs is the use of additives in the formulation process, so that the drug can stay supersaturated in biological fluids for a period of time long enough to allow absorption. The use of polymers as pharmaceutical excipients in order to stabilize the supersaturation of drugs is common practice.
