Abstract
Ibuprofen (IBU) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drag to treat rheumatoid arthritis, fever and mild pain. However, IBU was very low solubility in water (0.03~2.5 mg/ml). A nanoemulsion containing IBU by means of self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) was prepared to enhance the solubility of IBU. SMEDDS was composed of cosurfactant, oil and surfactant. The solubility in various components such as cosurfactant (Carbitol, 386.9±20.5 mg/ml), oil(Labrafil M1944CS, 90.16±1.6 mg/ml) and surfactant (Cremophor RH-40, 239.01±2.8 mg/ml) was tested, respectively. Optimized formulation of SMEDDS was obtained by phase diagram. SMEDDS containing IBU revealed higher dissolution rate and bioavailability than those of conventional IBU syrups.
