NANOEMULSION: AN EXCEPTIONAL MODE FOR DELIVERY OF POORLY SOLUBLE DRUG

Shubham Verma*, Nitin Kumar, Umesh Kumar, Gaurav Jain

ABSTRACT

This review provides a brief idea about the nanoemulsion formulation, methods, evaluation parameters and their applications in pharmaceuticals. Delivery of poorly water soluble drugs and hydrophobic nature of the new chemical entities takes the researchers mind to the nanoemulsions. As name suggests that nanoemulsion have nano sized particles and it can easily crosses the number of barriers and provides maximum drug absorption to the site. These are the stable isotropic system of two immiscible liquid phases mixed to form a single phase with the help of emulsifying agent or surfactants which helps in lowering the interfacial tension between the two liquids.

Keywords: Nanoemulsion, Microfluidization, Phase Inversion, Zeta Potential, Characterization.
