Abstract

Lercanidipine hydrochloride is a calcium channel blocker of the dihydropyridine, which opens the blood vessels for allowing the blood to circulate more freely around the body. Lercanidipine is a poorly water soluble drug and quite difficult to deliver. Taking this into account, in the study, we have designed lercanidipine loaded water soluble polymer PVP K-30 via solid dispersion method using spray drying and rotary evaporation to improve the dissolution properties. Further, the dissolution behavior of the materials were evaluated by in vitro assays. Results showed that solid dispersion has increased the dissolution properties of the materials owing to the change in the drug chemical structure.
