Abstract: | The objective of this study was to develop self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) to enhance the oral bioavailability of the poorly water-soluble drug, oridonin. The influence of the oil, surfactant and co-surfactant types on the drug solubility and their ratios on forming efficient and stable SMEDDS were investigated in detail. The SMEDDS were characterized by morphological observation, droplet size and zeta-potential determination, cloud point measurement and in vitro release study. The optimum formulation consisted of 30% mixture of Maisine 35-1 and Labrafac CC (1:1), 46.7% Cremopher EL, and 23.3% Transcutol P. Invitro release test showed a complete release of oridonin from SMEDDS in an approximately 12h. The absorption of oridonin from SMEDDS showed a 2.2-fold increase in relative bioavailability compared with that of the suspension. Our studies demonstrated the promising use of SMEDDS for the delivery of oridonin by the oral route. |
