arly 40 of new drug candidates possess low aqueous solubility, which is a challenge in development of optimum oral solid dosage form in terms of formulation design and bioavailability of new pharmaceutical products. In recent years, lipid solutions, emulsions and emulsion pre concentrates, which can be prepared as physically stable formulations suitable for incorporation of such poorly soluble drugs are gaining attention. Among lipid based formulations, self micro emulsifying formulations with droplet size 100 nm are capable to improve the oral bioavailability of hydrophobic drugs primarily due to their efficiency in facilitating solubilization and in presenting the hydrophobic drug in solubilized form whereby dissolution process can be circumvented. Self micro emulsifying drug delivery systems SMEDDS are physically stable isotropic mixture which are easy to manufacture and can be filled in soft gelatin capsules and capable to generate a drug containing micro emulsion with a large surface area upon dispersion in the gastrointestinal tract. The micro sized emulsion will facilitate the absorption of the drug due via intestinal lymphatic pathway and by partitioning of drug into the aqueous phase of intestinal fluids. Some disadvantages are possessed by Conventional SMEDDS which are prepared in a liquid form. So solid SMEDDS S SMEDDS prepared by solidification of liquid semisolid self micron emulsifying systems into powders, tablets, pellets etc have gained popularity. In this review, an overview of SMEDDS, their solidification techniques and various factors that potentially affect the oral bioavailability of such drugs are presented.

SELF MICRO EMULSIFYING DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM [SMEDDS]Sagar Savale
Oral route is the main route of drug administration in many diseases. Major problem in oral route of drug administration is bioavailability which mainly results from poor aqueous solubility. This leads to lack of dose uniformity and high intrasubject/intersubject variability. It is found that 40% of active substances are poorly water-soluble. Various technologies are developed to overcome this problem, like solid dispersion or complex formation. Much attention has been given to lipid-based formulation with particular emphasis on self-micro emulsifying drug delivery system to improve the oral bioavailability of lipophilic drugs. It requires small amount of dose and also drugs can be protected from hostile environment in gut. Self-micro emulsifying drug delivery systems are specialized form of delivery system in which drug is encapsulated in a lipid base with or without pharmaceutical acceptable surfactant.
Self Micro Emulsifying Drug Delivery System (SMEDDS): A ReviewSagar Savale
Objective: Much attention has been given to lipid-based formulation with particular emphasis on self-micro emulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) to improve the solubility and oral bioavailability of lipophilic as well as hydrophilic drugs.
Method: Various reports were taken from review or research articles published in journals, data from various books and other online available literature.
Conclusion: This method is suitable for all BCS class drugs where resulting emulsification gives faster dissolution and absorption rate.
Drug development in the past used to be initiated after the identification of most active molecule. However,
this approach leads to a number of drawbacks with the problems being that many molecules which are
put into development had poor physicochemical such as solubility and stability and biopharmaceutical
such as permeability and enzymatic stability properties, as a consequence of which about 40% of new
chemical entities fail to reach the market place. At present, a number of technologies are available to
deal with the poor solubility, dissolution rate, and bioavailability of insoluble drugs. However, much
attention has been focused on lipid-based formulations, with particular emphasis on self-emulsifying
drug delivery systems (SEDDSs). SEDDSs are defined as isotropic mixtures of natural or synthetic
oils, solid or liquid surfactants, or one or more hydrophilic solvents and cosolvents/surfactants. On mild
agitation followed by dilution in aqueous media, these systems can form fine oil-in-water emulsions
or microemulsions (self-micro-EDDS [SMEDDS]). Self-emulsifying formulations spread readily
in the gastrointestinal tract, the digestive motility of the stomach and intestine provides the agitation
necessary for self-emulsification. SEDDSs produce emulsification with a droplet size between 100 and
300 nm, while SMEDDSs form transparent microemulsions with a droplet size of <50 nm. SEDDSs are
physically stable formulations that are easy to manufacture. Thus, for lipophilic drug compounds that
exhibit dissolution rate-limited absorption, these systems may offer an improvement in the rate and the
extent of absorption.

The emulsion is a disperse system which is thermodynamically unstable. To improve the stability of the disperse system microemulsion or nanoemulsion was prepared to improve thermodynamic stability. Zeta potential is a physical property which is exhibited by any particle in suspension/emulsion, i.e., in colloidal dispersion. It can be used to optimize the formulations of suspensions and emulsions. Zeta potential is the measure of overall charges acquired by particles in a particular medium and is considered as one of the benchmarks of stability of the colloidal system. As a rule of thumb, suspensions/dispersed system with zeta potential above 30 mV (absolute value) are physically stable. Suspensions with a potential above 60 mV show excellent stability. Suspensions below 20 mV are of limited stability; below 5 mV they undergo pronounced aggregation if the system is stabilized by the electrostatic mechanism. If the values are low for visually stable emulsions, it could be attributed to steric repulsion between approaching molecules, i.e., system is sterically stabilized. Such sterically stabilized colloidal systems though they have low zeta potential values are found to be stable during storage. Tween is well accepted steric stabilizer for colloidal systems. Stability of such a visually stable emulsion or microemulsions should be carried out under accelerated or long-term stability conditions to confirm the globule size and zeta potential on aging.

smedds is a lipid based drug delivery system , which uses a lipid as a carrier to deliver poorly soluble drug. Thereby increasing its dissolution and bioavailability.
Oral route of drug administration is the most preferred and convenient method of drug administration, but due to the poor solubility of drug is the major drawback for the dissolution and bioavailability of that drug. Absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of the drug depends on the solubility of the drug molecule. Solid dispersion is defined as dispersion of one or more active pharmaceutical ingredient in water soluble carriers at solid state to increase the dissolution of poorly water soluble drugs. Solid dispersion technique improves the dissolution rate of highly lipophilic drugs by enhancing bioavailability by means of decreasing particle size of drug, improving its wettability and forming amorphous particles of crystalline drugs. For preparation of solid dispersion carriers such as hydrophilic and hydrophobic are used. Nowadays the use of natural carriers is prepared over the synthetic carriers. Solid dispersion techniques are very effective and promising than conventional dosage forms. In this review we have mainly focused on historical background, introduction to solid dispersion, advantages and disadvantages, characterization of solid dispersion, method of preparation, applications, types of solid dispersion, carriers used in solid dispersion.

Microemulsion – A Potential Carrier for Improved BioavailabilityBRNSS Publication Hub
Microemulsion (ME) are one of the potential and emerging drug carrier systems that help to improve the drug release and enhance the bioavailability of poorly aqueous soluble drugs. These are considered as thermodynamically stable system which mainly consists of three to five components such as aqueous phase, an oil phase, surfactant, cosurfactant, and in some cases electrolyte. Microemulsion became more popular as a drug delivery system, due to some of its unique features such as its capacity to increase the bioavailability, long shelf life and ease of preparation, and huge scope of application. The delivery system is widely used in different filed such as pharmaceutical, food industries, and cosmetics industries. As per literature, around 40% of the newly arrived drug molecules are poorly water-soluble in nature and results in poor bioavailability. Therefore, ME drug delivery system may play a key role to overcome the mentioned issue. Hence, the review has been written with an aim to address the capacity of ME drug delivery system to overcome the solubility issue of poor water-insoluble drugs and to provide adequate information’s about its possible application.

The Impact of Digital Media on the Decentralization of Power and the Erosion ...ijtsrd
The impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has gained considerable attention in recent years. The adoption of digital technologies and the internet has resulted in declining influence and power for traditional gatekeepers such as publishing houses and news organizations. Simultaneously, digital media has facilitated the emergence of new voices and players in the media industry. Digital medias impact on power decentralization and gatekeeper erosion is visible in several ways. One significant aspect is the democratization of information, which enables anyone with an internet connection to publish and share content globally, leading to citizen journalism and bypassing traditional gatekeepers. Another aspect is the disruption of conventional media industry business models, as traditional organizations struggle to adjust to the decrease in advertising revenue and the rise of digital platforms. Alternative business models, such as subscription models and crowdfunding, have become more prevalent, leading to the emergence of new players. Overall, the impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has brought about significant changes in the media landscape and the way information is shared. Further research is required to fully comprehend the implications of these changes and their impact on society.

Comparative Analysis of Total Corporate Disclosure of Selected IT Companies o...ijtsrd
Disclosure is a process through which a business enterprise communicates with external parties. A corporate disclosure is communication of financial and non financial information of the activities of a business enterprise to the interested entities. Corporate disclosure is done through publishing annual reports. So corporate disclosure through annual reports plays a vital role in the life of all the companies and provides valuable information to investors. The basic objectives of corporate disclosure is to give a true and fair view of companies to the parties related either directly or indirectly like owner, government, creditors, shareholders etc. in the companies act, provisions have been made about mandatory and voluntary disclosure. The IT sector in India is rapidly growing, the trend to invest in the IT sector is rising and employment opportunities in IT sectors are also increasing. Therefore the IT sector is expected to have fair, full and adequate disclosure of all information. Unfair and incomplete disclosure may adversely affect the entire economy. A research study on disclosure practices of IT companies could play an important role in this regard. Hence, the present research study has been done to study and review comparative analysis of total corporate disclosure of selected IT companies of India and to put forward overall findings and suggestions with a view to increase disclosure score of these companies. The researcher hopes that the present research study will be helpful to all selected Companies for improving level of corporate disclosure through annual reports as well as the government, creditors, investors, all business organizations and upcoming researcher for comparative analyses of level of corporate disclosure with special reference to selected IT companies.

“One Language sets you in a corridor for life. Two languages open every door along the way” Frank Smith English as a foreign language or as a second language has been ruling in India since the period of Lord Macaulay. But the question is how much we teach or learn English properly in our culture. Is there any scope to use English as a language rather than a subject How much we learn or teach English without any interference of mother language specially in the classroom teaching learning scenario in West Bengal By considering all these issues the researcher has attempted in this article to focus on the effective teaching learning process comparing to other traditional strategies in the field of English curriculum at the secondary level to investigate whether they fulfill the present teaching learning requirements or not by examining the validity of the present curriculum of English. The purpose of this study is to focus on the effectiveness of the systematic, scientific, sequential and logical transaction of the course between the teachers and the learners in the perspective of the 5Es programme that is engage, explore, explain, extend and evaluate.

The Role of Mentoring and Its Influence on the Effectiveness of the Teaching ...ijtsrd
This paper reports on a study which was conducted to investigate the role of mentoring and its influence on the effectiveness of the teaching of Physics in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The study adopted the convergent parallel mixed methods design, focusing on respondents in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analysed separately, and the results were compared to see if the findings confirm or disconfirm each other. The quantitative analysis found that majority of the respondents 72 of Physics teachers affirmed that they had more experienced colleagues as mentors to help build their confidence, improve their teaching, and help them improve their effectiveness and efficiency in guiding learners’ achievements. Only 28 of the respondents disagreed with these statements. With majority respondents 72 agreeing with the statements, it implies that in most secondary schools, experienced Physics teachers act as mentors to build teachers’ confidence in teaching and improving students’ learning. The interview qualitative data analysis summarized how secondary school Principals use meetings with mentors and mentees to promote mentorship in the school milieu. This has helped strengthen teachers’ classroom practices in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. With the results confirming each other, the study recommends that mentoring should focus on helping teachers employ social interactions and instructional practices feedback and clarity in teaching that have direct measurable impact on students’ learning achievements.

Design Simulation and Hardware Construction of an Arduino Microcontroller Bas...ijtsrd
This study primarily focuses on the design of a high side buck converter using an Arduino microcontroller. The converter is specifically intended for use in DC DC applications, particularly in standalone solar PV systems where the PV output voltage exceeds the load or battery voltage. To evaluate the performance of the converter, simulation experiments are conducted using Proteus Software. These simulations provide insights into the input and output voltages, currents, powers, and efficiency under different state of charge SoC conditions of a 12V,70Ah rechargeable lead acid battery. Additionally, the hardware design of the converter is implemented, and practical data is collected through operation, monitoring, and recording. By comparing the simulation results with the practical results, the efficiency and performance of the designed converter are assessed. The findings indicate that while the buck converter is suitable for practical use in standalone PV systems, its efficiency is compromised due to a lower output current.

Sustainable Energy by Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O. Sadikuijtsrd
Energy becomes sustainable if it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Some of the definitions of sustainable energy include the considerations of environmental aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions, social, and economic aspects such as energy poverty. Generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel are renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy sources. Worthy of note is that some renewable energy projects, like the clearing of forests to produce biofuels, can cause severe environmental damage. The sustainability of nuclear power which is a low carbon source is highly debated because of concerns about radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and accidents. The switching from coal to natural gas has environmental benefits, including a lower climate impact, but could lead to delay in switching to more sustainable options. “Carbon capture and storage” can be built into power plants to remove the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, but this technology is expensive and has rarely been implemented. Leading non renewable energy sources around the world is fossil fuels, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non renewable energy source, although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, but the material used in nuclear power plants is not. The paper addresses the issue of sustainable energy, its attendant benefits to the future generation, and humanity in general. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.

Concepts for Sudan Survey Act Implementations Executive Regulations and Stand...ijtsrd
This paper aims to outline the executive regulations, survey standards, and specifications required for the implementation of the Sudan Survey Act, and for regulating and organizing all surveying work activities in Sudan. The act has been discussed for more than 5 years. The Land Survey Act was initiated by the Sudan Survey Authority and all official legislations were headed by the Sudan Ministry of Justice till it was issued in 2022. The paper presents conceptual guidelines to be used for the Survey Act implementation and to regulate the survey work practice, standardizing the field surveys, processing, quality control, procedures, and the processes related to survey work carried out by the stakeholders and relevant authorities in Sudan. The conceptual guidelines are meant to improve the quality and harmonization of geospatial data and to aid decision making processes as well as geospatial information systems. The established comprehensive executive regulations will govern and regulate the implementation of the Sudan Survey Geomatics Act in all surveying and mapping practices undertaken by the Sudan Survey Authority SSA and state local survey departments for public or private sector organizations. The targeted standards and specifications include the reference frame, projection, coordinate systems, and the guidelines and specifications that must be followed in the field of survey work, processes, and mapping products. In the last few decades, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of geomatics activities and measurements on the Earths surface in space and time, together with observing and mapping the changes. In such cases, data must be captured promptly, standardized, and obtained with more accuracy and specified in much detail. The paper will also highlight the current situation in Sudan, the degree to which survey standards are used, the problems encountered, and the errors that arise from not using the standards and survey specifications.

Towards the Implementation of the Sudan Interpolated Geoid Model Khartoum Sta...ijtsrd
The discussions between ellipsoid and geoid have invoked many researchers during the recent decades, especially during the GNSS technology era, which had witnessed a great deal of development but still geoid undulation requires more investigations. To figure out a solution for Sudans local geoid, this research has tried to intake the possibility of determining the geoid model by following two approaches, gravimetric and geometrical geoid model determination, by making use of GNSS leveling benchmarks at Khartoum state. The Benchmarks are well distributed in the study area, in which, the horizontal coordinates and the height above the ellipsoid have been observed by GNSS while orthometric heights were carried out using precise leveling. The Global Geopotential Model GGM represented in EGM2008 has been exploited to figure out the geoid undulation at the benchmarks in the study area. This is followed by a fitting process, that has been done to suit the geoid undulation data which has been computed using GNSS leveling data and geoid undulation inspired by the EGM2008. Two geoid surfaces were created after the fitting process to ensure that they are identical and both of them could be counted for getting the same geoid undulation with an acceptable accuracy. In this respect, statistical operation played an important role in ensuring the consistency and integrity of the model by applying cross validation techniques splitting the data into training and testing datasets for building the geoid model and testing its eligibility. The geometrical solution for geoid undulation computation has been utilized by applying straightforward equations that facilitate the calculation of the geoid undulation directly through applying statistical techniques for the GNSS leveling data of the study area to get the common equation parameters values that could be utilized to calculate geoid undulation of any position in the study area within the claimed accuracy. Both systems were checked and proved eligible to be used within the study area with acceptable accuracy which may contribute to solving the geoid undulation problem in the Khartoum area, and be further generalized to determine the geoid model over the entire country, and this could be considered in the future, for regional and continental geoid model.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

long chain oils. These factors may contribute
significantly to the better performance of the
formulations. [1,2]
The basic difference between self-emulsifying drug
delivery systems (SEDDS) also called as self-
emulsifying oil formulation (SEOF) and SMEDDS is
SEDDS typically produce opaque emulsions with a
droplet size between 100 and 300 nm while SMEDDS
form transparent micro emulsions with a droplet size
of less than 100 nm also the concentration of oil in
SMEDDS is less than 20 % as compared to 40-80%
in SEDDS. When compared with emulsions, which
are sensitive and metastable dispersed forms,
SMEDDS are physically stable formulations that are
easy to manufacture. Thus, for lipophilic drug
compounds which exhibit dissolution rate-limited
absorption, these systems may offer an improvement
in the rate and extent of absorption and result in more
reproducible blood-time profiles. [3]
ADVANTAGES OF SMEDDS [4]
SMEDDS offer the following advantages;
1. Irritation caused by prolonged contact between
the drug and the wall of the GIT can be
surmounted by the formulation of SMEDDS as
the microscopic droplets formed help in the wide
distribution of the drug along the GIT and these
are transported quickly from the stomach.
2. Upon dispersion in water, these formulations
produce fine droplets with enormous interfacial
area due to which the easy partition of the drug
from the oil phase into the aqueous phase is
possible which cannot be expected in case of oily
solutions of lipophilic drugs.
3. SMEDDS are advantageous over emulsions in
terms of the stability because of the low energy
consumption and the manufacturing process does
not include critical steps. Simple mixing
equipment is enough to formulate SMEDDS and
time required for preparation is also less
compared to emulsions.
4. Poor water-soluble drugs which have dissolution
rate limited absorption can be absorbed efficiently
by the formulation of SMEDDS with consequent
stable plasma-time profile. Constant plasma levels
of drug might be due to presentation of the poorly
soluble drug in dissolved form that bypasses the
critical step in drug absorption, that is,
dissolution.
5. Along with the lipids, surfactants that are
commonly used in the formulation of SMEDDS
like Tween 80, Spans, Cremophors (EL and
RH40) and Pluronics are reported to have
inhibitory action on efflux transporters which help
in improving bioavailability of the drugs which
are substrates to the efflux pumps. The efflux of
paclitaxel from the GIT was found to be inhibited
with formulation prepared using surfactant named
polysorbate 80.
6. Drugs which have propensity to be degraded by
the chemical and enzymatic means in GIT can be
protected by the formulation of SMEDDS as the
drug will be presented to the body in oil droplets.
7. Microemulsion preconcentrate is advantageous
over microemulsion to dispense in the form of
liquid filled soft gelatin capsules.
8. SMEDDS are advantageous over SEDDS as the
former are less dependent on bile salts for the
formation of droplets by which better absorption
of the drug is expected compared to SEDDS.
9. Surfactants of high HLB like Tween 80 are
reported to increase the permeability of the drug
when administered along with the formulation
due to the loosening effect of these on tight
junctions.
DISADVANTAGES OF SMEDDS [5]
1. Lack of good predicative in-vitro models for
appraisal.
2. High surfactant concentration (>30-60%) causes
GI irritation.
3. Volatile co-solvents in the traditional definitions
move into the shells of soft or hard gelatin
capsule bringing about precipitation of lipophilic
medications.
4. Lack of good IVIVC correlation and appropriate
animal model for in-vivo study.
5. May generate softening or hardening effect on
capsule shell, during unit dosage preparation.
6. Dissolution test cannot be completely relied on,
because this formulation depends on digestion.
7. Lipid excipients containing unsaturated fatty
acids and its derivatives are prone to lipid
oxidation. This requires inclusion of lipid soluble
antioxidant in capsule formation.
8. Liquid SMEDDS exhibit problems in handling,
storage and stability. Thus, formulating solid
SMEDDS seems to be a logical solution to
address these problems.

century. Self-
emulsification is a phenomenon which has been
widely exploited commercially in formulations of
emulsifiable concentrates of herbicides and
pesticides. Concentrates of crop-sprays are to be
diluted by the user, such as farmers or house-hold
gardeners, allowing very hydrophobic compounds to
be transported efficiently. In contrast, SMEDDS,
using excipients acceptable for oral administration to
humans, have not been widely exploited and
knowledge about their physicochemical principles is
therefore limited.
Mechanism of Self-Emulsification:
The free energy of the emulsion can be described by
the following equation:
∆ = ∑ Π 2
Where, ∆ is the free energy, is the number of
droplets, is the radius of droplets, and is the
interfacial energy.
From this equation, it is evident that the lower the
interfacial energy the lower the free energy. Self-
emulsification occurs when the energy involvement in
the dispersion is greater than the energy required for
the formation of droplets. The free energy of
conventional emulsion is very high as high energy is
required to form new surface between two immiscible
phases like oil and water. Due to high free energy, the
emulsion may not be stable and the two phases tend
to separate. But in case of SMEDDS, emulsion
formation occurs instantaneously because the free
energy of the system is very low and sometimes
negative due to the presence of flexible interface. On
mixing oil and surfactant/cosurfactant mixture with
water, up on mild agitation, an interface is formed
between two phases. Then, aqueous phase penetrates
through interface and gets solubilized within the oil
phase up to the solubilization limit. Increased water
penetration causes the formation of dispersed liquid
crystalline phase. The amount of liquid crystalline
phase depends on the surfactant concentration. Upon
mild agitation of SMEDDS, water penetration occurs
rapidly and leads to the disruption of interface and
droplets will be formed. As microemulsions are
thermodynamically stable, equilibrium exists within
the system although there is continuous exchange of
matter between the different phases. Exchange of
matter usually occurs in two different ways like
fusion of small droplets followed by the fission of
larger droplet into small droplets and fragmentation
of droplets which later coagulate with other droplets.
FORMULATION COMPONENTS OF SMEDDS

Active pharmaceutical ingredient (Drug)
Oil
Surfactant
Co-surfactant
1. DRUG:
Lipophilicity and dose of the drug are the main
criteria to be considered be considered before the
development of SMEDDS formulation. Drugs which
are administered at very high dose are not suitable for
SMEDDS unless they exhibit extremely good
solubility in at least one of the components of
SMEDDS. Ideally drug should have low dose, log P>
2 and should not possess extensive first pass
metabolism. High melting point drugs with log P
values about 2 are poorly suited to SMEDDS. At the
other end of the spectrum, lipophilic drugs with log P
values greater than 5, are good candidates for
SMEDDS.
2. OIL:
The oil represents one of the most important
excipients in the SMEDDS formulations not only
because it can solubilize marked amounts of the
lipophilic drug or facilitate self-emulsification but
also and mainly because it can increase the fraction of
lipophilic drug transported via the intestinal
lymphatic system, thereby increasing absorption from
the GI tract depending on the molecular nature of the
triglyceride. Both long and medium chain triglyceride
oils with different degrees of saturation have been
used for the design of self-emulsifying formulations.
Modified or hydrolysed vegetable oils have been
widely used since these excipients form good
emulsification system with a large number of
surfactants approved for oral administration and
exhibit better drug solubility properties. They offer
formulative and physiological advantages and their
degradation products resemble the natural end
products of intestinal digestion. Novel semi synthetic
medium chain derivatives, which can be defined as
amphiphilic compounds with surfactant properties,
are progressively and effectively replacing the regular
medium chain triglyceride oils in the SMEDDS
formulation.
3. SURFACTANT:
A surfactant is needed to adopt self-emulisification
property by SMEDDS which is prime process to form
microemulsion and it is also helpful to solubilize the
hydrophobic drug; in turn the dissolution rate can be
improved. The solubilization behaviour of surfactant
for the drug gained popularity due to its inhibitory

effect on drug precipitation in vivo. Permeability
barrier that is intestinal cell membrane comprised of
lipids can be disrupted by surfactant partition; thereby
permeability will be enhanced. Although natural
surfactants are less toxic, the efficiency of self-
emulsification is limited. For spontaneous
emulsification, the surfactants are required to be
selected with attention to attain ultralow interfacial
tension. The selection of surfactant is based on HLB
value. The surfactants with high HLB facilitate the
formation of O/W microemulsion. Surfactants with
hydrophilic nature, that is, HLB value of greater than
12, along with water soluble cosolvents, are used for
drugs with relatively low octanol: water partition
coefficient to increase the solvent capacity of the
formulation and these systems produce very fine
droplets of size less than 100 nm with high surfactant
concentration. The less toxicity offered by non-ionic
surfactants like oleates, polysorbates, polyoxyls, and
so forth compared to ionic surfactants allows them to
be used more commonly in the formulation of
SMEDDS. With commonly used lipids in the
formulation of SMEDDS like medium and long chain
triglycerides, the non-ionic surfactants like oleates of
HLB 11 having unsaturated acyl side chains are more
suitable excipients for efficient self-emulsification.
Utility range of surfactants for the formation of stable
SMEDDS is about 30–60%. Care should be exercised
to minimize the concentration of surfactant as
minimum as possible because the use of high
concentration of surfactants has disadvantages like GI
irritation, decrease in self-emulsification efficiency,
and dehydrating effect on soft and hard gelatin
capsules (caused by some of the non-ionic surfactants
like polysorbates and polyoxyls) with consequent
brittleness. At high concentrations of surfactant, GI
irritation occurs due to tissue damage and the
efficiency of self-emulsification capacity decreases
which may be due to the formation of liquid
crystalline phase at the interface which in turn is due
to viscous nature.
4. CO-SURFACTANT:
The production of an optimum SMEDDS requires
relatively high concentrations (generally more than
30% w/w) of surfactants, thus the concentration of
surfactant can be reduced by incorporation of co
surfactant. Role of the co-surfactant together with the
surfactant is to lower the interfacial tension to a very
small even transient negative value. At this value the
interface would expand to form fine dispersed
droplets, and subsequently adsorb more surfactant
and surfactant / co-surfactant until their bulk
condition is depleted enough to make interfacial
tension positive again. This process is known as
spontaneous emulsification‘ forms the
microemulsion. However, the use of co-surfactant in
self-emulsifying systems is not mandatory for many
non-ionic surfactants. The selection of surfactant and
co-surfactant is crucial not only to the formation of
SMEDDS, but also to solubilization of the drug in the
SMEDDS.

FACTORS AFFECTING SMEDDS: [9]
Nature and dose of the drug:
Drugs which are administered at very high dose are
not suitable for SMEDDS unless they exhibit
extremely good solubility in at least one of the
components of SMEDDS, preferablylipophilic phase.
The drugs which exhibit limited solubility in water
and lipids (typically with log P values of
approximately are most difficult to deliver by
SMEDDS. The ability of SMEDDS to maintain the
drug in solubilised form is greatly influenced by the
solubility of the drug in oil phase. As mentioned
above if surfactant or co-surfactant is contributing to
the greater extent in drug solubilization then there
could be a risk of precipitation, as dilution of
SMEDDS will lead to lowering of solvent capacity of
the surfactant or co-surfactant. Equilibrium solubility
measurements can be carried out to anticipate
potential cases of precipitation in the gut. However,
crystallization could be slow in the solubilising and
colloidal stabilizing environment of the gut. Pouton’s
study reveal that such formulations can take up to five
days to reach equilibrium and that the drug can
remain in a super-saturated state for up to 24 hours
after the initial emulsification event. It could thus be
argued that such products are not likely to cause
precipitation of the drug in the gut before the drug is
absorbed, and indeed that super-saturation could

actually enhance absorption by increasing the
thermodynamic activity of the drug. There is a clear
need for practical methods to predict the fate of drugs
after the dispersion of lipid systems in the gastro-
intestinal tract.
Polarity of the lipophilic phase:
The polarity of the lipid phase is one of the factors
that govern the drug release from the microemulsions.
The polarity of the droplet is governed by the HLB,
the chain length and degree of unsaturation of the
fatty acid, the molecular weight of micronized for
their propensity to inhibit crystallization and, thereby,
generate and maintain the supersaturated state for
prolonged time periods. A super saturable self-micro
emulsifying drug delivery system (S-SMEDDS) of
paclitaxel was developed employing HPMC as a
precipitation inhibitor with a conventional SMEDDS
formulation. In vitro dilution of the S-SMEDDS
formulation resulted in formation of a microemulsion,
followed by slow crystallization of paclitaxel on
standing. This result indicated that the system was
supersaturated with respect to paclitaxel, and the
supersaturated state was prolonged by HPMC in the
formulation. In the absence of HPMC, the SMEDDS
formulation underwent rapid precipitation, yielding a
low paclitaxel solution concentration. A
pharmacokinetic study showed that the paclitaxel S-
SMEDDS formulation produced approximately a 10-
fold higher maximum concentration (Cmax) and a 5-
fold higher oral bioavailability (F ~ 9.5%) compared
with that of the orally administered Taxol formulation
(F~2.0%) and the SMEDDS formulation without
HPMC (F ~ 1%).
Droplet size and charge:
Smaller the droplet size and larger the surface area
increases absorption and if the droplet is positively
charged the drugs can penetrate into the physiological
barrier in deep leads to improved bioavailability.
BIOPHARMACEUTICAL ASPECTS OF
SMEDDS:[10,11,12,13]
Effect on rate of gastric emptying:
Increase in gastric residence time shows the delivery
of the drug of it site of action. In particular, it is the
lipid component of the food that plays a vital role in
the absorption of lipophilic drugs. Lipids in the GI
tract provoke delay in gastric emptying, i.e. gastric
transit time is increased leading to enhanced oral
bioavailability co-administered lipophilic drug. This
can be explained by the ability of a high fat meal to
stimulate biliary and pancreatic secretions, to
decrease metabolism and efflux activity, to increase
intestinal wall permeability, and to a prolongation of
GIT residence time and transport via lymphatic
system. Triglycerides and long chain fatty acids play
a major role in prolonging the GIT residence time.
Effect on Digestion and solubilization of drug:
The balance between a drug's solubility in the
aqueous environment of the gastrointestinal lumen
and its permeation across the lipophilic membrane of
enterocytes determines its rate and extent of
absorption. Following ingestion, of SMEDDS, gastric
lipase initiates the digestion of exogenous dietary TG
and formulation TG. Simultaneously, the mechanical
mixing (propulsion, grinding and retropulsion) of the
stomach facilitates formation of a crude emulsion
(comprised of aqueous gastric fluid and lipid
digestion products). Later in the small intestine,
pancreatic lipase together with its cofactor co-
lipase203 completes the breakdown of TG to
diglyceride, monoglyceride and fatty acid. Pancreatic
lipase acts primarily at the sn-1 and sn-3 positions of
TG to produce 2-monoglyceride and free fatty acid.
The chemical digestion of formulation- or biliary-
derived phospholipid (PL) also occurs in the small
intestine in which pancreatic phospholipase A2
hydrolyses a single fatty-acid molecule from the sn-2
position of PL to yield lysophosphatidylcholine and
fatty acid. The presence of exogenous lipids in the
small intestine also stimulates secretion of
endogenous biliary lipids, including bile salt (BS), PL
and cholesterol from the gall bladder. Previously
formed monoglycerides, fatty acids, and
lysophospholipid (products of lipid digestion) are
subsequently in corporate into a series of colloidal
structures, including micelles and unilamellar and
multilamellar vesicles in the presence of bile salts.
The solubilization and absorptive capacity of the
small intestine for lipid digestion products and drugs
(D) is significantly enhanced due to these formed
lipid metabolites.
Promotion of intestinal lymphatic transport:
For highly lipophilic drugs, lipids may enhance the
extent of lymphatic transport and increase
bioavailability directly or indirectly via a reduction in
first‐pass metabolism. Lipids increase the TG-rich
lipoproteins which react with drug molecules.
Lipoproteins-drug complex enhances intestinal
lymphatic transport and leads to changes in drug
disposition and finally changes the kinetics of the
pharmacological actions of poorly soluble drugs. The
effect of structured triglycerides with varying intra
molecular structures and chain lengths incorporated
into a SMEDDS on the intestinal lymphatic transport
and absorption of halofantrine into the blood was
investigated. The SMEDDS formulation included
29% w/w structured triglyceride designated as LLL,
LML, or MLM (L: long chain fatty acid, C18; M:
medium chain fatty acid, C8-10). The MLM and
LML micro-emulsions had a similar droplet size of 50
nm. The lymphatic transport of halofantrine,
6. International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development @ www.ijtsrd.com eISSN: 2456-6470

expressed as the cumulative percentage of the
administered dose, after 12 h (mean % dose ± S.E.)
was 27.4 ± 1.3 after administration in the LML and
17.9 ± 1.3 in the MLM. The results indicated that the
structural formation of the triglyceride initiated a
lymphatic transport at a high level. It was therefore
hypothesized that medium chain fatty acid enhanced
the absorption into the systemic blood circulation
whereas long chain fatty acid enhanced the lymphatic
transport. Thus, the absorption profile of a drug
formulated into a SMEDDS could be manipulated by
varying the medium and long chain triglyceride
content in the formulation in order to improve the oral
bioavailability of highly lipophilic drugs. For highly
lipophilic drugs, lipids may enhance the extent of
lymphatic transport and increase bioavailability
directly or indirectly via a reduction in first-pass
metabolism. A hydrophilic drug is less likely to be
absorbed through the lymphatic (chylomicron) and
instead may diffuse directly in to the portal supply.
Hence in this case, increased dissolution from the
large surface area afforded by emulsion may be a
contributing factor to enhanced absorption of drugs.
Effect on intestinal permeability:
Oil component alters the solubility of the drug in
SMEDDS by penetrating into the hydrophobic
portion of the surfactant monolayer. Extent of oil
penetration varies and depends on the molecular
volume, polarity, size and shape of the oil molecule.
Overall drug solubility in SMEDDS is always higher
than the solubility of drug in individual excipients
that combine to form SMEDDS. However, such
higher solubility considerably depends on the
solubility of drug in oil phase, interfacial locus of the
drug and drug-surfactant interactions at the interface.
In light scattering experiments, it was observed that
oils with small molecular volume act like co-
surfactants and penetrate into the surfactant
monolayer. This forms thinner polyoxyethylene
chains near the hydrophobic core of the micelle
disrupting the main locus of the drug solubilization
due to which, a higher solubility of drug is not
observed. Large molecular volume oils, however,
forms a distinct core and do not penetrate effectively
into the surfactant monolayer. The locus of drug
solubilization was found to be affected by the
microstructure and solubility of the drug in the
excipients. The locus of drug solubilization was found
to be at the interface of micelle for phytosterols
whereas the same for cholesterol was found to be
between the hydrophobic head groups of surfactant
molecules. This is attributed to altered side chain
flexibility of phytosterol due to the additional
substitution of alkyl side chain compared to
cholesterol. In addition to molecular volume and
polarity of the oil, drug solubility in oil is affected by
physicochemical properties of drug molecule itself.
Consideration of BCS classification and Lipinski's
rule of 5 for the selection of drug is only useful
during initial screening stages. As per BCS
classification, some of the acidic drugs are listed in
Class II despite having good absorption and
disposition as they do not satisfy the requirement of
higher solubility at low pH values. Lipinski's rule of
5, on the other hand, holds good only when the drug
is not a substrate for the active transporter. This
suggests that aqueous solubility and log P alone are
not sufficient to predict the solubility of drug in the
oil. This further indicates that the solubility of any
two drugs with similar log P would not be the same
due to their different physicochemical properties.
Reduced metabolism and efflux activity:
In some cases, as shown recently, excipients
incorporated in SMEDDS can inhibit both pre-
systemic drug metabolism and intestinal efflux
mediated by P-gp resulting in an increased oral
absorption of drugs. It is clear that certain lipids and
surfactants may attenuate the activity of intestinal
efflux transporters, as indicated by the p-glycoprotein
efflux pump, and may also reduce the extent of
enterocyte‐based metabolism. Therefore, uptake of
lipophilic drugs formulated as SMEDDS from the GI
tract can enhanced due to decrease in the P-gp drug
efflux. In addition to a multidrug efflux pump, phase I
metabolism by the intestinal Cytochrome P450s is
now becoming recognized as a significant factor in
oral drug bioavailability.
Increase in effective luminal drug solubility:
The presence of lipids in the GI tract stimulates an
increase in the secretion of bile salts (BS) and
endogenous billiard lipids including phospholipids
(PL) and cholesterol (CH), leading to the formation of
BS/PL/CH intestinal mixed micelles and an increase
in the solubilization capacity of the GI tract.
However, intercalation of administered (exogenous)
lipids into these Structures either directly (if
sufficiently polar), or secondary to digestion, leads to
swelling of the micellar structures and a further
increase in solubilization capacity.

and surfactant/co-surfactant required to form micro
emulsion. 100% of the particular component is
represented by each corner of diagram. It is prepared

contains co-surfactant, it may be studied for micro

these three components can be represented in a
ternary phase diagram. Effect of change in ratios of
the different component on micro emulsion region
can be shown by ternary phase diagrams. Each point
within the triangle defines a mixture of the three
components. These points can be combined to form
regions that represent the phase behaviour. Dilution
and Water Titration methods as described below can
be used to plot Pseudo ternary phase diagrams.
Dilution Method:
Each of the oil, surfactant and co-surfactant
concentration will range from 10 to 90% (w/w). Total
of each of these components in each mixture will
always be added to 100%. Microemulsion formation
can be evaluated by diluting each mixture with
appropriate qty. of water. Droplet size of the
emulsions formed can be determined byspectroscopy
technique. The area of microemulsion formation in
Pseudo ternary phase diagram can be determined for
each system.
Water Titration Method:
Mixtures of oil, surfactant and co-surfactant can also
be titrated with water to prepare pseudo-ternary phase
diagrams. Various mixture with oil phase, surfactant
and the co-surfactant (S mix) are prepared where ratio
of oil and S mix ranges from 9:1 to 1:9. Each mixture
is titrated with water with stirring to attain
equilibrium. Each mixture is examined (by visual
observation) for transparency and further titrated with
water until appearance is turbid. Clear samples
represents micro emulsion region.

FORMULATION OF SMEDDS: [15]
Upon dilution, the SMEDDS formulation
immediately forms a clean dispersion and stays
stable. The hydrophobic drug dispersed within the
SMEDDS components remains solubilized it is
absorbed. Efficient release of the drug from the
formula in particular depends on two elements,
globule length and polarity of the droplets. In case of
oil-in water micro-emulsions, the polarities of oil
droplets aren't significant, because the drug included
within the oil globules attain the capillaries. The
following parameters need to be taken into
consideration for the duration of the formula of
SMEDDS:
1. Solubility of the drug in various oil, surfactants
and co-solvents.
2. Selection of oil, surfactant and co-solvent based at
the solubility of the drug, and preparation of the
phase diagram.
Figure 3 Flow chart for preparation of SMEDDS
EVALUATION OF SMEDDS: [16,17,18,19]
The efficiency of self-micro-emulsification could be
estimated by determining the evaluation parameter.
1. Droplet size and particle size measurement:
The particle size of the micro emulsion is determined
by photon correlation spectroscopy or SEM
(Scanning Electron Microscopy) which can measure
sizes between 10 and 5000 nm.
2. Refractive index and percent transmission:
Refractive index and percent transmittance proves the
clearness of formulation. The refractive index of the
SMEDDS is measured by refractometer and
compared with that of water. The percent
transmittance of the system is measured at particular
wavelength using UV-visible spectrophotometer
keeping distilled water as blank, if refractive index of
system should be similar to that of water. Formulation
showing transmittance >99 percent is transparent in
nature.
3. Thermodynamic stability studies:
The physical stability of a lipid –based formulation is
also crucial to its performance, which can be
adversely affected by precipitation of the drug in the
excipient matrix. In addition, poor formulation
8. International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development @ www.ijtsrd.com eISSN: 2456-6470
@ IJTSRD | Unique Paper ID – IJTSRD56288 | Volume – 7 | Issue – 3 | May-June 2023 Page 152
physical stability can lead to phase separation of the
excipient, affecting not only formulation
performance, but visual appearance as well. In
addition, incompatibilities between the formulation
and the gelatin capsules shell can lead to brittleness or
deformation, delayed disintegration, or incomplete
release of drug.
a) Heating cooling cycle: Six cycles between
refrigerator temperature (4ºC) and 45ºC with
storage at each temperature of not less than 48 hr
is studied. Those formulations, which are stable at
these temperatures, are subjected to centrifugation
test.
b) Centrifugation: Passed formulations are
centrifuged thaw cycles between 21 ºC and +25
ºC with storage at temperature for not less than
48s hr is done at 3500 rpm for 30 min. Those
formulations that does not show any phase
separation are taken for the freeze thaw stress test.
c) Freeze thaw cycle: Three freeze for the
formulations. Those formulations passed this test
showed good stability with no phase separation,
creaming, or cracking.
4. Zeta potential measurement:
Zeta potential for micro emulsion can be determined
using a suitable Zeta sizer, in triplicate samples.
5. Determination of self-emulsification time:
The emulsification time of SMEDDS is determined
according to USP 2; dissolution apparatus about 2 mg
of each formulation are added drop wise to 500 ml
purified water at 37°C. Gentle agitation is provided
by a standard stainless steel dissolution paddle
rotating at 50 rpm. Emulsification time is assessed
visually. This gives the formulator information
regarding time lapsed during formulation.
6. Cloud point measurement:
Cloud point determines stability of microemulsion at
body temperature. Dilute about 0.5 ml of SMEDDS
formulation with 50ml water. Warm the sample at the
rate of 0.5º C/min. The temperature when dispersion
becomes cloudy is noted as cloud point temperature.
7. Viscosity determination:
Determination of viscosity is important for SMEDDS
without dilution. Low-viscous formulations are
difficult to handle because of loss of formulation due
to flopping around filling nozzle of machine while
filling in to capsule shell. This further leads to leaking
of capsules and unit to unit weight variation.
Viscosity of the SMEDDS formulation can be
evaluated by Brookfield viscometer.
8. In Vitro Dissolution Profile:
Drug release from formulation can be evaluated after
filling the formulation in a hard gelatin capsule using
USP XXIII apparatus I at 100 rpm or USPXXIII
apparatus II at 50 rpm or with dialysis method at 37 ±
0.5∘ C. Samples at regular intervals should be
withdrawn from the medium and drug content is
estimated and compared with the control. The polarity
of oil droplet has impact on drug release from the
diluted SMEDDS. The higher the polarity, the faster
the drug release from the oil droplet into the aqueous
phase. Polarity is mainly dependent on the HLB of
surfactant, molecular weight of hydrophilic part of the
surfactant, and its concentration along with the degree
of unsaturation of fatty acid of lipid phase.
9. Dispersibility test:
The efficiency of self-emulsification of oral Nano or
micro emulsion is assessed using a standard USP
XXII dissolution apparatus 2. One millilitre of each
formulation is added to 500 ml of water at 37 ±
0.5°C. A standard stainless steel dissolution paddle
rotating at 50rpm provides gentle agitation. The in
vitro performance of the formulations is visually
assessed using the following grading system.
Grade A: Rapidly forming (within 1 min) Nano
emulsion having a clear or bluish appearance.
Grade B: Rapidly forming slightly less clear having a
bluish-white appearance. Grade C: Fine milky
emulsion that forms within 2 min.
Grade D: Dull greyish white emulsion having slightly
oily appearance that is slow to emulsify.
Grade E: Formulation exhibiting either poor or
minimal emulsification with large oil globules present
on the surface.
Grade A and Grade B formulation will remain as
Nano emulsion when dispersed in GIT. While
formulation falling in Grade C could be
recommended for SMEDDS formulation.
SOLID SELF-MICROEMULSIFYING DRUG
DELIVERY SYSTEM (S-SMEDDS):
SMEDDS can exist in either liquid or solid states.
SMEDDS are usually, limited to liquid dosage forms,
because many excipients used in SMEDDS are not
solids at room temperature. Given the advantages of
solid dosage forms, S-SMEDDS have been
extensively exploited in recent years, as they
frequently represent more effective alternatives to
conventional liquid SMEDDS. From the perspective
of dosage forms, S-SMEDDS mean solid dosage
forms with self-emulsification properties. S-
SMEDDS focus on the incorporation of
liquid/semisolid SE ingredients into powders/
nanoparticles by different solidification techniques
(e.g. adsorptions to solid carriers, spray drying, melt
extrusion, nanoparticle technology, and so on). Such
9. International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development @ www.ijtsrd.com eISSN: 2456-6470

powders/nanoparticles, which refer to SE
nanoparticles/dry emulsions/solid dispersions are
usually further processed into other solid SE dosage
forms, or, alternatively, filled into capsules (i.e SE
capsules). SE capsules also include those capsules
into which liquid/semisolid SEDDS are directly filled
without any solidifying excipient. In the 1990s, S-
SEDDS were usually in the form of SE capsules, SE
solid dispersions and dry emulsions, but other solid
SE dosage forms have emerged in recent years, such
as SE pellets/tablets, SE microspheres/nanoparticles
and SE suppositories/implants. [20]
SOLIDIFICATION TECHNIQUES FOR
TRANSFORMING LIQUID/SEMISOLID
SMEDDS TO S-SMEDDS: [21,22,23]
Various solidification techniques are as listed below;
Capsule filling with liquid and semisolid self-
emulsifying formulations:
Capsule filling is the simplest and the most common
technology for the encapsulation of liquid or
semisolid SE formulations for the oral route. For
semisolid formulations, it is a four-step process:
1. Heating of the semisolid excipient to at least 20˚C
above its melting point.
2. Incorporation of the active substances (with
stirring)
3. Capsule filling with the molten mixture.
4. Cooling to room temperature. For liquid
formulations, it involves a two-step process:
filling of the formulation into the capsules
followed by sealing of the body and cap of the
capsule, either by banding or by micro-spray
sealing.
Spray drying:
Essentially, this technique involves the preparation of
a formulation by mixing lipids, surfactants, drug,
solid carriers, and solubilization of the mixture before
spray drying. The solubilized liquid formulation is
then atomized into a spray of droplets. The droplets
are introduced into a drying chamber, where the
volatile phase (e.g the water contained in an
emulsion) evaporates, forming dry particles under
controlled temperature and airflow conditions. Such
particles can be further prepared into tablets or
capsules. The atomizer, the temperature, the most
suitable airflow pattern and the drying chamber
design are selected according to the drying
characteristics of the product and powder
specification.
Adsorption to solid carriers:
Free flowing powders may be obtained from liquid
SE formulations by adsorption to solid carriers. The
adsorption process is simple and just involves
addition of the liquid formulation onto carriers by
mixing in a blender. The resulting powder may then
be filled directly into capsules or, alternatively, mixed
with suitable excipients before compression into
tablets. A significant benefit of the adsorption
technique is good content uniformity.
SEDDS/SMEDDS can be adsorbed at high levels [up
to 70% (w/w)] onto suitable carriers.
Melt granulation:
Melt granulation is a process in which powder
agglomeration is obtained through the addition of a
binder that melts or softens at relatively low
temperatures. As a one-step operation, melt
granulation offers several advantages compared with
conventional wet granulation, since the liquid
addition and the subsequent drying phase are omitted.
Moreover, it is also a good alternative to the use of
solvent.
Melt extrusion/extrusion spheronization:
Melt extrusion is a solvent-free process that allows
high drug loading (60%), as well as content
uniformity. Extrusion is a procedure of converting a
raw material with plastic properties into a product of
uniform shape and density, by forcing it through a die
under controlled temperature, product flow, and
pressure conditions.
DOSAGE FORM DEVELOPMENT OF S-
SMEDDS: [24]
Various dosage forms of S-SMEDDS are as listed
below;
1. Dry emulsions
2. Self-emulsifying capsules
3. Self-emulsifying sustained/controlled-release
tablets/pellets
4. Self-emulsifying implants
5. Self-emulsifying solid dispersions
6. Self-emulsifying beads
7. Self-emulsifying sustained-release microspheres
8. Self-emulsifying nanoparticles
9. Self-emulsifying suppositories
CONCLUSION:
Self-micro-emulsifying drug delivery systems are
recent and effective approach for the augmentation of
oral bioavailability of many poor water-soluble drugs
provided that the drug should be potent with high
lipid solubility. It is well demonstrated that SMEDDS
promotes lymphatic delivery of extremely
hydrophobic drugs (with high octanol: water partition
coefficient) with good solubility (>50 mg/mL) in
triglycerides. Faster and enhanced drug release can be
attained with smaller droplets which in turn promotes
bioavailability. The present review highlighted the
developmental steps (solubility studies, construction
of pseudo-ternary phase diagrams, and various
evaluation tests) involved in obtaining a robust and

stable dosage form. Further research in developing
SMEDDS with surfactants of low toxicity and to
develop in vitro methods to better understand the in
vivo fate of these formulations can maximize the
availability of SMEEDS in market.
