Abstract: The objective was to obtain solid dispersion to improve the dissolution rate, solubility and oral absorption of MB (mebendazole), poor water-soluble drugs. The new formulation was characterized by DSC (differential scanning calorimetry), PXRD (powder X-ray diffraction), FT-1R (fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) and STEM (scanning transmission electron microscopy) methods. Solid dispersions of MB with polyvinylpyrrolidone K-30 (PVP K30) were prepared by solvent evaporation method. The solubility of MB (original powder) and that of the solid dispersions was measured at 25℃ in ethanol-water. The aqueous solubility of MB was favoured by the presence of the polymer in solvent mixtures. Combination of solid dispersions with co-solvents increased the water solubility of MB in a larger extent that each method separately. Solubility parameter (o) was used to relate to solubility profiles. MB and the solid dispersions show a solubility curve with a single peak at 51 = 30.78 MPav2. Solid state characterizations indicated that the solid dispersion exist an amorphous material entrapped in polymer matrix getting highest improvement in wettability and solubility.
