Challenges to improve the biopharmaceutical properties of poorly water-soluble drugs and the application of the solid dispersion technology

The oral solid dosage forms are extremely relevant to drug therapy and responsible for much of the pharmaceutical industry turnover worldwide. However, the development of medicines in solid form involves significant challenges, including obtaining formulations with appropriate bioavailability for low aqueous solubility drugs (classes II and IV of the Biopharmaceutics Classification System). One of the most effective strategies to overcome poor...
