 Oral bioavailability of a drug depends on its solubility and dissolution rate. Therefore to
increase dissolution of drug with solubility is often needed.
 There are the variety of new drug which having poorly aqueous solubility, out of that
curcumin is one of the example
 Curcumin is Poorly aqueous soluble drug which consist some functional groups and
starch consist some hydrophilic groups.
 Intermolecular bonding between the functional groups of curcumin and hydrophilic
groups of polymer i.e. starch is carried out by solid dispersion method for the solubility
enhancement.

 There are variety of new drugs and their derivatives are available. But less than 40
% of lipophilic drugs candidates fail to reach market due to poor bioavailability,
even though these drugs might exhibit potential pharmacodyanamic activities
 The lipophillic drug that reaches market requires a high dose to attain proper
pharmacological action.
 The basic aim of the further formulation and development is to make that drug
available at proper site of action within optimum dose.

B. Preparation of Porous Starch
10 gm starch + 40mL of distilled water at room
temperature.
60 ml distilled water was heated to its boiling point.
Starch dispersion was addedto the boiling water under
rapid stirring.
The temperature was steadily brought down to room
temperature
a translucent gel was formed. The gel was stored in excess
water at 8°C overnight
The gel was then subjected for solvent exchange by
ethanol.
The gel was equilibrated and stored in ethanol at 8°C for 48
h to maintain its porous structure.
After achieving the equilibrium state, the gel was then
dried at 30°C.
The dried material was milled and stored

RESULT AND DISCUSSION

H. FTIR spectroscopy
The prominent peaks of curcumin exhibited at wave number, which is given in table
respectively.
Porous starch showed the prominent peaks at their respective position. A shift in the peaks
corresponding to O–H stretching of porous starch and curcumin, respectively, indicates a
strong possibility of hydrogen bonding.
O-H stretching 3504.66 cm-1
C=O stretching, ketone 1618.28 cm-1
C=C 1591.27cm-1
RESULT AND DISCUSSION

I.Crystanillity Study
a. Powder X-ray diffraction
The SDs (1:1 w/w) showed a significant reduction in crystalline peaks corresponding to
curcumin, indicating that crystals were transformed to an amorphous or a
microcrystalline form. It means that solid- state interaction between curcumin and
porous starch was observed
RESULT AND DISCUSSION
16
b. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)
The thermograms of curcumin clearly showed sharp endothermic peaks at 173.17 ºC –
180.62 ºC.The Sharp narrow peaks were observed from the thermograms of pure curcumin,
indicating the high crystallinity of the drugs. From the comparison of all thermograms, SDs
(1:1 w/w) showed almost complete reduction of peak area.
Thus, the results of DSC analysis confirm that curcumin is completely converted to
amorphous form and favourable interactions were taking place with porous starch.
The solid dispersions of curcumin were successfully prepared by using porous
starch. The developed solid dispersions were characterized with respect to
solubility study, FTIR, dissolution study and crystallinity study (XRD and DSC).
Curcumin-PS systems showed an improved performance as compared to curcumin.
Interestingly, porous starch has been improved solubiliuty of curcumin by one fold.
Thus, PS can be used as a solubility enhancer and carrier for various other drug
candidates.
