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.
What is dissolution? Dissolution is a process in which a solid substance get solubilizes in a particular solvent to yield a solution i.e. mass transfer from the solid surface to the liquid phase.
Pharmacosomes are the colloidal dispersions of drugs covalently bound to lipids, and may exist as ultrafine vesicular, micellar, or hexagonal aggregates, depending on the chemical structure of drug-lipid complex.

Formulation Development and Evaluation of Self Nano Emulsifying Drug Delivery...ijtsrd
The primary objective of the work was to develop a self nano emulsifying drug delivery system of dolutegravir HCL. Self nanoemulsifying drug delivery system is a lipid based formulation which consists of isotropic mixtures of oils, surfactants and co surfactants. It can conveniently develop the emulsion on gentle agitation and offers a considerable surface area for interaction between the SNEDDS formulation and the aqueous gastrointestinal fluid. This may lead to enhanced bioavailability of hydrophobic agents. The Liquid SNEDDS was prepared and after that solidified by aerosil 200. For 10 gm of liquid SNEDDS 5 gm of Aerosil 200 was used and after that product is dried by spray drying method. And 12 gm of product is remaining after the process. The drug excipients interaction studies were carried out using FTIR and DSC. The interaction studies were carried out to check physical and chemical stability of Dolutegravir with other excipients. FTIR spectra showed the characteristic peaks of drug i.e. for C H stretch, N C stretch appear in the spectra of physical mixtures at the same wave number indicating no modification or interaction between drug and the polymers. The liquid SNEDDS formulation C1 showed good thermodynamic stability without any precipitation and having globule size 536.6 nm and zeta potential 29.9. Based on thermodynamic stability, precipitation studies, self emulsification studies, globule size and zeta potential liquid SNEDDS of formulation batch C1 was selected as optimized formulation. Liquid SNEDDS and solid SNEDDS was prepared for Dolutegravir. SEM, IR, and DSC results confirmed that drug was present in an amorphous state in solid SNEDDS. In vitro drug release and drug content of optimized formulation was found to be 98.64 and 99.35 respectively. F3 batch of capsule formulation shows better drug release than marketed formulation.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

INTRODUCTION
The oral route is the preferred route for many chronic drug therapy
Currently various formulation strategies are in practice
Recently much attention has been paid to lipid base formulation
Approximately 35‐40% of new drug candidates have poor
water solubility
5. 5
According to bio pharmaceutical classification
system(BCS) the classII drugs have poor solubility and
high permeability , thus the rate limiting process of
absorption is the drug dissolution step. Formulation plays
the major role in improving the rate and extent of
absorption of such drugs from GI tract.
6. 6
DEFINITION
Isotropic mixtures of natural or synthetic oils, solid or
liquid surfactants or alternatively one or more hydrophilic
cosurfactant and cosolvents .
Upon mild agitation followed by dilution in aqueous
media such as the GI fluids these systems can form
microemulsions.
7. 7
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SEDDS AND SMEDDS
SEDDS SMEDDS
Produce opaque emulsions Produce transparent
microemulsion
Droplet size between 100-
300nm
Droplet size less than
50nm
Concentration of oil <20% Concentration of oil 40-
80%
Surfactants with HLB value
<12
Surfactants with HLB value
>12
8. 8
A potential problem is that the drug may precipitate out of solution when
the formulation disperses in the GI tract, particularly if a hydrophilic
solvent is used (e.g.polyethylene glycol).
NEED OF SMEDDS:
If the drug can be dissolved in a lipid vehicle there is less potential
for precipitation on dilution in the GI tract, as partitioning kinetics will
favor the drug remaining in the lipid droplets
10. 10
OILS
It can facilitate self emulsification
Both Long and medium chain triglyceride have been
used
eg,olive oil,corn oil,Palm oil,Animal fats
11. 11
SURFACTANTS
Surfactant molecules can be classified based on the nature of
hydrophilic group within the molecule. The four main group
of surfactants are defined as follows,
1.Anionic surfactants,eg Pottasium laurate,SLS
2.Cationic surfactants,eg Quarternary ammonium halide.
3.Ampholytic surfactants,eg Sulfobetaines.
4. Nonionic surfactants,eg Polysorbate, Sorbitan
polyoxyethylene
The usual surfactant strength ranges between 30-60% w/w of
the formulation in order to form a stable SMEDDS
12. 12
Help to dissolve hydrophilic surfactant and hydrophobic lipid base
Play role of co surfactant in microemulsion systems
Examples: Glyceryl triacetate, propylene glycol etc.
Cosolvent:
Co-surfactant:
Generally co-surfactant of HLB value 10-14 is used.
Hydrophilic cosurfactants are preferably alcohols of intermediate chain
length
which are known to reduce the oil/ water interface and allow the
spontaneous formulation of microemulsion
Eg. hexanol, pentanol and octanol
13. 13
Polymers
Should not ionizable at physiological pH and being capable
of forming matrix
Example: Hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose, Ethyl
cellulose, etc
Consistency builder
Example: tragacanth, cetyl alcohol, stearic acids
and /or beeswax
17. 17
MECHANISM OF SELF EMULSIFICATION
Self-emulsification occur when the entropy change that
favors dispersion than the energy require to increase the
surface area of the dispersion.
∆G = ∑ Ni ╥ ri ²ɕ
∆ G=free energy associated with the process
N=no.of droplets,r=radius of droplet, ɕ=interfacial energy
18. 18
FACTORS AFFECTING SMEDDS
1.CONCENTRATION OF THE DRUG:
Drugs which are administered at high dose are not suitable for SMEDDS unless
they exhibit extremely good solubility in atleast one of the components of SMEDDS
preferably lipophilic base.
2.SOLUBILITY OF THE DRUG:
SMEDDS maintain the drug in solubilised form.If the surfactant & co surfactant
contribute to a great extent for solubilisation then there is risk for precipitation.
3.POLARITY OF THE LIPID PHASE:
The polarity of lipid phase is one of the factors that govern the release of the
drug from the microemulsion.
19. 19
Characterization
1. Droplet size analysis and particle size measurement
2. Turbidimetric Evaluation
3. Viscosity Determination
4. Refractive Index and Percent Transmittance
5. Dispersibility test
6. Electro conductivity Study:
7. In Vitro Diffusion Study
8. Drug content
9. Thermodynamic stability study
20. 20
Droplet size analysis and particle size measurement
Determined by photon correlation spectroscopy using a
Zetasizer.
Zetasizer able to measure sizes between 10 to 5000 nm.
21. 21
Turbidimetric Evaluation
Nepheloturbidimetric evaluation is done to monitor the growth of
emulsification.
Fixed quantity of Selfemulsifying system is added to fixed
quantity of suitable medium (0.1N hydrochloric acid) under
continuous stirring (50 rpm) on magnetic plate at ambient
temperature.
22. 22
Viscosity Determination
The rheological properties of the micro emulsion are
evaluated by Brookfield viscometer.
This viscosity determination conform whether the system is
w/o or o/w.
23. 23
• Refractive index and percent tranmittance proved the transparency
of formulation.
• The refractive index of the system is measured by refractometer by
placing drop of solution on slide and it compare with water (1.333).
• The percent transmittance of the system is measured at particular
wavelength using UV-spectrophotometer keeping distilled water as
blank
Refractive Index and Percent Transmittance
24. 24
•The efficiency of self-emulsification of oral nano or micro emulsion is
assessed using a standard USP dissolution apparatus 2.
•One milliliter of each formulation was added to 500 mL of water at 37
± 0.5 0C.
•A standard stainless steel dissolution paddle rotating at 50 rpm
provided gentle agitation.
• In vitro performance of the formulations is visually assessed using
the following grading system:
Dispersibility test
25. 25
Grade A:
Rapidly forming (within 1 min) nanoemulsion, having a clear or bluish appearance.
Grade B:
Rapidly forming, slightly less clear emulsion,having a bluish white appearance.
Grade C:
Fine milky emulsion that formed within 2 min
Grade D:
Dull, grayish white emulsion having slightly oily appearance that is slow to emulsify (longer
than 2 min).
Grade E:
Formulation, exhibiting either poor or minimal emulsification with large oil globules present on
thesurface.
Grade A and Grade B formulation will remain as nanoemulsion when dispersed in GIT. While
formulation falling in Grade C could be recommend for SEDDS formulation.
Dispersibility test
26. 26
Electro conductivity Study:
The SMEDD system contains ionic or non-ionic surfactant,oil, and
water.
so, this test is used to measure the electroconductive nature of
system. The electroconductivity of resultant system is measured by
electroconductometer.
In Vitro Diffusion Study:
Performed to study the release behavior of formulation from liquid
crystalline phase around the droplet using dialysis technique.
Drug content:
Drug from pre-weighed SMEDDS is extracted by dissolving in suitable
solvent. Drug content in the solvent extract was analyzed by suitable
analytical method against the standard solvent solution of drug.
27. 27
Thermodynamic stability studies
Freeze thawing was employed to evaluate the stability of
formulations. The formulations were subjected to 3 to 4
freeze-thaw cycles, which included freezing at – 4°C for 24
hours followed by thawing at 40°C for 24 hours. Centrifugation
was performed at 3000 rpm for 5 minutes. The formulations
were then observed for phase separation. Only
formulations that were stable to phase separation were
selected for further studies.
28. 28
Various solidification techniques are
1. Capsule filling with liquid and semisolid self-emulsifying
formulations
2. Spray drying
3. Adsorption to solid carriers
4. Melt granulation
5. Melt extrusion/extrusion spheronization
SOLIDIFICATION TECHNIQUES FOR TRANSFORMING
LIQUID/SEMISOLID SMEDDS TO SOLID-SMEDDS
29. 29
For semisolid formulations, it is a four-step process:
(i) heating of the semisolid excipient to at least 20˚C above its melting
point
(ii) incorporation of the active substances (with stirring)
(iii) capsule filling with the molten mixture and
(iv) cooling to room temperature.
1. Capsule filling with liquid and semisolid self-emulsifying
formulations
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.
30. 2. Adsorption to solid carriers
30
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.
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.
.
31. 31
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.
.
3.Spray drying
32. 32
4.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.
5.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.
33. 33
ADVANTAGES
Protection of sensitive drug substances.
Readily accessible for absorption.
When a polymer is incorporated in terms of gives prolonged release
of medicament.
Low viscosity.
They are comprised of aqueous and oily components and therefore
can accommodate both hydrophilic as well as lipophilic drugs.
34. 34
Liquid or solid dosage forms.
Produce reproducible plasma profile
Has potential to deliver peptides that are processed to enzymatic hydrolysis
in GIT.
Enhanced oral bioavailability enabling reduction in dose.
Increase the dissolution and permeability.
.Thus SMEDDS protect drugs against hydrolysis by enzymes in the GI tract
& reduce the presystemic clearance in the GI mucosa & first pass
metabolism
35. 35
1.Alterations (reduction) in gastric transit.
2. Increase in effective luminal drug solubility
3. Stimulation of intestinal lymphatic transport
4. Changes in the biochemical barrier function of the GI tract
5. Changes in the physical barrier function of the GI tract
6. Effect of oils on the absorption
BIOPHARMACEUTICAL ASPECTS:
36. 36
ADVANTAGES OF SMEDDS OVER EMULSION
SMEDDS not only offer the same advantages of emulsions of facilitating the
solubility of hydrophobic drugs
But also overcomes the drawback of the layering of emulsions after sitting
for a long time.
SMEDDS can be easily stored since it belongs to a thermodynamics
stable system
The particle size is small
The bioavailability of the drug is therefore improved
SMEDDS offer numerous delivery options like filled hard gelatin capsules or
soft gelatin capsules or can be formulated in to tablets whereas emulsions can
only be given as an oral solutions.
37. 37
Drawbacks
1. Lack of good predictive in vitro models
2. Formulation potentially dependant on digestion
3. In-vitro ,in-vivo correlation needs to be
developed
37
41. 41
• Self‐emulsifying drug delivery systems are a promising approach for the
formulation of drug compounds with poor aqueous solubility.
•With future development of this technology, SEDDSs and SMEDDs will
continue to novel applications in drug delivery and solve problems
associated with the delivery of poorly soluble drugs.
• As improvements or alternatives of conventional liquid SEDDS,
S‐SEDDS are superior in reducing production cost, simplifying industrial
manufacture, and improving stability as well as patient compliance.
