Abstract

The preparation of amorphous solid dispersions using polymers is a commonly used formulation strategy for enhancing the solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs. However, a single polymer often does not bring significantly enhance the solubility or amorphous stability of a poorly water-soluble drug. We found an application of a unique and novel binary polymeric blend in the preparation of solid dispersions. The main purpose of this study is to optimize and evaluate resveratrol (Res) amorphous solid dispersions with a novel polymeric system of poly (vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS). The influence of three different release factors, the ratio of CMCS to the polymer mixture (CMCS% = X₁), the ratio of Res to the polymer mixture (Res% = X₂) and the surfactant (Tween 80 = X₃), on the characteristics of released Res at various times (Q₅ and Q₃₀) was investigated. The computer optimization and contour plots were used to predict the levels of the independent variables as X₁ = 0.17, X₂ = 0.10 and X₃ = 2.94 for maximized responses of Q₅ and Q₃₀.
