Up to 40 percent of new chemical entities discovered by the pharmaceutical industry today are poorly soluble and lipophilic compounds. The poor solubility and wettability of meloxicam leads to poor dissolution and hence the drug shows poor bioavailability. The present study is aimed at increasing the dissolution rate of the drug using the electrospinning technique. The nanofibers were prepared using the different drug:polymer ratios. The optimized formulation was characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the in-vitro dissolution rate studies. The meloxicam nanofibers prepared by electrospinning technique demonstrated higher drug release rate in comparison to the pure meloxicam. Moreover, in this technique the process parameters: feed rate, voltage, distance, were also optimised to obtain the maximum nanofiber yield and the satisfactory particle size.
