Effect of cooling technique on physicochemical properties of ternary solid dispersion of manidipine hydrochloride prepared by melting method

Solid dispersion is an established concept for drug solubility and bioavailability enhancement but strongly dependent on the choice of an appropriate carrier and preparation technique[1,2].Ternary solid dispersion is one of the promising methods to increase the solubility of poorly-water soluble drug.The present work was conducted to increase the solubility of manidipine hydrochloride(MDP)using ternary solid dispersion prepared by melting and then solidifying at low temperature.The effect of cooling technique on the physicochemical properties of the developed system was investigated.
