  The present study deals with improvement in aqueous solubility of aceclofenac using HPMC K-15M, PVP-K30 and Eudragit RS-100 in varying ratio by spray-drying at the optimized condition. The samples of solid dispersion were subjected to Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), powder X-ray diffraction morphology (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), in vitro drug release and stability studies. A decrease in the melting enthalpy in DSC indicates conversion of crystalline to an amorphous state. The results were supported by PXRD, FTIR and SEM data revealed a characteristic decrease in crystallinity. The dissolution studies demonstrated a marked increase in the dissolution rate in comparison with pure drug. The considerable improvement in the dissolution rate of aceclofenac from spray drying, decreased drug crystallinity, altered surfa.. View More»
