Abstract:The major drawback of Simvastatin to formulate a dosage form is its poor aqueous solubility. In this study a solvent and carrier less technique called Melt sonocrystallization was utilized to form tiny crystals of Simvastatin with enhanced solubility in distilled water and Phosphate buffer pH 7.4, with an insignificant (p > 0.05) change in partition behaviour. The Melt sonocrystallized Simvastatin (MSCSIM) was characterized by FT-IR, DSC and SEM. The flow property was characterized and compared with pure Simva… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
