COMPLEX Of ELUXADOLINE WITH SODIUM CAPRYLATE FOR IMPROVED SOLUBILITY AND DISSOLUTION RATE

In the present research, newly developed complex with sodium caprylate was investigated for solubility and dissolution enhancement of eluxadoline. Complexes were prepared in different ratios by solvent evaporation method and characterised solubility study, Infrared spectroscopy (IR), Diffrential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), drug content analysis and in vitro Drug release. The solubility and dissolution rate revealed most suitable ratio of eluxadoline and sodium caprylate (1:4). The IR, DSC and X-RD data also confirmed the results. It was concluded that complex prepared with (1:4 drug:sodium caprylate ratio) using solvent evaporation method showed significant improvement in solubility and drug dissolution.
