SUPERCRITICAL FLUID TECHNOLOGY: NASCENT CONTRIVANCE FOR PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

A supercritical fluid (SF) can be defined as a dense non condensable fluid. A fluid reaches the supercritical status when its temperature and pressure exceed the relevant critical temperature and pressure. At the critical point only a single phase exists which has some properties typical of liquids (density) and some of gases (viscosity, compressibility, and mass diffusion coefficient). For pharma...

SOLUBILITY ENHANCEMENT OF POORLY WATER SOLUBLE CELECOXIB FOR PARENTERAL FORMULATIONS

Celecoxib, a diaryl substituted pyrazole, is practically insoluble in water which precludes its use in parenteral and liquid dosage forms. This study explores the solubility enhancement of celecoxib using hydrotropy and cosolvency solubilization approaches. The equilibrium solubility studies were performed using hydrotropes piperazine, sodium citrate, and urea and cosolvents PEG 200, PEG 400, PEG ...
