Development of self-microemulsifying drug delivery system for honokiol
Objective To screen and optimize the formulation of self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) for honokiol. Methods The formulation of honokiol-SMEDDS was screened by solubility experiment
compatibility test for excipients and pseudo-ternary phase diagrams. And the best formulation was determined by the particle size and in vitro release evaluation. Results In the best formulation of honokiol-SMEDDS
octyl and decyl glycerate (MCT)
polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil (Cremophor RH40) and diethylene glycol monoethyl ether (Transcutol P) were used as oil phase
surfactant and co-surfactant
respectively. The percentage of oil phase was 20%
K
m
of surfactant to cosurfactant was 2
the drug loading was 10%
and the average particle size was 28 nm. C
onclusion The honokiol-SMEDDS is prepared successfully
and the solubility of honokiol is improved significantly.
