Abstract

Background: Supersaturable self-nanoemulsion (S-SNE) is an approach for dealing with low oral bioavailability problems. Bilastine (BL) is a selective H1-antihistamine with a bioavailability of 59%. Objective: To use a liquisolid technique to transform liquid BL S-SNE into powder so that both the S-SNE and liquisolid procedures could be used. Methods: Oleic acid, tween 60, transcutol, and soluplus were used to make the liquid BL-loaded S-SNE that was adsorbed onto the Avicel PH101 and Aerosil 200 admixtures. In vitro dissolution and powder flow characteristics were tested. SEM, DSC, X-ray diffraction, FT-IR analysis, and the average droplet size after dispersion in 0.1N HCl were also utilized to define the best formula's solid state. Results: The best liquid-solid composition, SS-F2, is composed of oleic acid, tween 60, transcutol, soluplus, Avicel 101, and Aerosil 200, with a liquid SNE to Avicel 101 ratio of 1.5:1 and an Avicel 200 to Aerosil 200 ratio of 10:1. SS-F2 displayed good flowability and a significant improvement in drug dissolution, with 100% of the medication released after 60 min compared to 62.27% of the marketed BL tablets. According to the solid-state investigation of formula (SS-F2), BL was shown to be in a solvated state in the solidified nanosystem, with no interactions with the excipient used. It also formed a nanoemulsion with mean droplet sizes of 77.57 nm and a PDI of 0.4178, which was similar to liquid S-SNE. Conclusion: The liquisolid technique is a potential method for solidifying a liquid self-emulsifying system while preserving self-nanoemulsion characteristics and increasing dissolving rate.
