In-Vitro, Ex-Vivo Characterization of Furosemide Bounded Pharmacosomes for Improvement of Solubility and Permeability

The design of the present investigation was to prepare furosemide bounded pharmacosomes to enhance solubility and permeability drug by simple reproducible solvent evaporation technique and further investigated. Furosemide bounded pharmacosomes formulation (PMC1 & PMC2) was taken and compared with pure drug by way of enhanced solubility 5.4 fold in the water, 3.33, 4.76 fold in pH 7.4 and pH 5.8 respectively, increases permeability of furosemide bounded pharmacosomes 28.28% when compared with pure drug, drug content showed 94.83, N-octanol/water partition coefficient from 2.33 to 5.15 and in-vitro release profile exhibits excellent sustained drug release properties. Prepared furosemide bounded Pharmacosomes were confirmed from differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and FT-IR. The pharmacosomes reported amphiphilic nature may responsible for the improvement of solubility and permeability leads to enhancement of oral bioavailability. From this study it can be concluded that, this formulation strategy becomes important for drug belongs to the BCS class- II & IV.
