Introduction
 The concept of solid dispersion was originally
proposed by Sekiguchi & obi.
 Increasing the dissolution, absorption &
therapeutic efficacy of drugs in dosage forms.
 Increasing solubility in water.
 Improving the oral absorption and
bioavailability of BCS Class II drugs.
Definition & Need
 Definition: The technology is the science of
dispersing one or more active ingredients in an
inert matrix in the solid stage.
 Need of solid dispersion:
 Increases Oral bioavailability of a drug
 Increased dissolution rate.
 Enhanced release of drugs from ointment.
 Improved the solubility & stability.
Selection of A Carrier
 Freely water-soluble.
 Non-toxic and pharmacologically inert.
 Soluble in a variety of solvents.
 Chemically compatible with drugs.
Types of solid Dispersion
Preparation Techniques
 Melting method
 Solvent method
 Melting solvent method (melt evaporation)
 Melt extrusion method
 Lyophilisation Technique
 Melt Agglomeration Process
 The use of surfactant
 Super Critical Fluid (SCF) Technology
 Co-precipitation method
 Gel-entrapment method
 Kneading method
1) Melting method:
Physical mixture of a drug & water soluble carrier
directly until it melted
cooled & solidified rapidly-ice bath-vigorous stirring.
solid mass was crushed, pulverized & sieved.
2) Solvent evaporation method:
Drug + matrix ( both dissolve in solvent)
solution
evaporate the solvent
solid mass is sieved & dried
Solid dispersion Example- E.g
E.g..Atrovastatin + Neem gum
Temperatures
used for solvent
evaporation
generally lie in the
range 23-65°C.
The solvent
evaporation can
be done by spray
drying or freeze
drying.
Drug dissolve in suitable solvent
Add melt of polyethylene glycol
evaporation of solvent
Clear suitable film left
Film dried to constant weight
Example- Paracetamol+PEG4000/PEG 6000/methyl cellulose
3) Melting solvent method:
High rotating speed Drug + carrier mix
at m.p small period of time
using co-rotating twin- screw extruder.
Simultaneously melted & homogenized
extruded and shaped as tablets, granules, pellets
4)Melt extrusion method:
Solid dispersion
5) Lyophilisation Technique
The drug and carrier are co dissolved in a common solvent,
frozen and sublimed to obtain a lyophilized molecular
dispersion.
6) Super Critical Fluid (SCF) Technology
The SCF process involves the spraying of the solution composed
of the solute and of the organic solvent into a continuous
supercritical phase flowing concurrently.
7) Spray drying
Rapid drying and specific characteristics such as particle size and
shape of the final product
It is 30-50 times less expensive than freeze-drying.
The process allows production of fine, dust free powder as well as
agglomerated one to precise specifications.

Phase Separation – A Kinetic Process with a Thermodynamic
Cause
-Phase separation can be induced by external physical stress or the
supersaturation state of the drug in the polymer
-The fundamental cause of phase separation irrespective of the
stimulus is the thermodynamic instability of the formulation.
-A phase separated systems has, in its simplest form, domains of the
two pure components.
-Phase separation in drug dispersions is more complex as the drug
could be either crystalline, amorphous, and even in intermediate
stages such as drug rich domains and systems containing both
amorphous and crystalline drug
Characterization of solid dispersion
I. Thermal Analysis
i) Thermo-microscopic Methods
ii) Differential thermal analysis (DTA)
iii) Differential Scanning Colorimetry (DSC)
II. X-ray diffraction (XRD)
III. FT-IR Spectroscopy
IV . Dissolution rate determination
V . Scanning Electron Microscopy
-Drug -carrier miscibility
Hot stage microscopy, Differential scanning calorimetry, Powder X-ray diffraction,
NMR 1H Spin
lattice relaxation time.
-Drug carrier interactions
FT-IR spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, Solid state NMR.
-Physical Structure
Scanning electron microscopy, Surface area analysis Surface properties, Dynamic
vapor sorption
Inverse gas chromatography, Atomic force microscopy Raman microscopy.
-Amorphous content
Polarized light optical microscopy, Hot stage microscopy Humidity stage
microscopy, DSC (MTDSC)
ITC, Powder X-ray diffraction.
-Stability
Humidity studies, Isothermal Calorimetry DSC (Tg, Temperature
recrystallization, Dynamic vapor
sorption Saturated solubility studies.
Dissolution enhancement
Dissolution, Intrinsic dissolution Dynamic solubility, Dissolution in bio-
relevant media.
Powder X-ray diffraction
Powder X-ray diffraction can be used to qualitatively detect material with long
range order. Sharper
diffraction peaks indicate more crystalline material
Infrared spectroscopy (IR)
Infrared spectroscopy (IR) can be used to detect the variation in the energy
distribution of interactions
between drug and matrix. Sharp vibrational bands indicate crystallinity.
Fourier Transformed Infrared
Spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to accurately detect crystallinity ranging from 1
to 99% in pure
material.
Dissolution calorimetry
Dissolution calorimetry measures the energy of dissolution, which is
dependent on the crystallinity of
the sample. Usually, dissolution of crystalline material is endothermic,
whereas dissolution of
amorphous material is exothermic.
Applications
 To increase the solubility, dissolution rate ,
absorption and bioavailability.
 Improved the solubility & stability.
 To formulate a fast released dosage form.
 To reduce side effect of certain drugs.
 Masking of unpleasant taste and smell of drugs
 Improvement of drug release from ointment,
creams .
Advantages
 To reduced particle size.
 To improve wettability.
 To improve porosity of drug.
 To decrease the crystalline structure of drug in to
amorphous form.
 To improve dissolution in water of a poorly water-
soluble drug.
Disadvantages
 Instability
 Not easy handling because of tackiness.
 The scale up of manufacturing processes.
Future Prospects
 Develop new method of preparation.
 Development of controlled release
preparation.
 Identification of newer carrier.
 Identification of vehicle or excipient that
retard or prevent crystallization.
