About 40% of new chemical entities do not reach to market due to its poor aqueous solubility. Melt solidification technique is an important process to control the transition from liquid in to solid phase to obtain product in an amorphous form. During the process of heating, some solid gets melted and if quench cooled, instead of crystallizing gets converted to amorphous solid form appearing as that of glass, which improve dissolution and bioavailability of drugs. Physical mixtures of MLX were prepared by melt solidification technique using polymer (soluplus). The solubility and dissolution studies for the meloxicam and batches were conducted in a phosphate buffer (pH 6.8). The fourier transform infrared(FTIR) spectrophotometry, X-ray diffraction microscopy(XDM) and Differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) studies were conducted to evaluated pure drug and optimized batch(MS7). Saturation solubility and % drug release showed the improve solubility and dissolution, results suggest that optimized batch (MS7) containing drug and polymer in proportion of 1:4 (MLX:soluplus) was a successful enhancing the solubility and dissolution of MLX. The % crystallinity of MLX in amorphous sample was 18.60%, which indicates significant decrease in crystallinity of MLX in an amorphous system. The best fit model of optimized batch (MS7) was zero order model, showing the %drug release 96.83% and R 2 0.9904. The present investigation, successfully enhancement solubility and dissolution of MLX by using melt solidification technique.

Hence, an anti-diabetic agent of both therapeutic and prophylactic usage has been subjected to transdermal investigation. Gliclazide, a second-generation hypoglycemic agent, faces problems like its poor solubility, poor oral bioavailability with large individual variation and extensive metabolism. In the present work, transdermal matrix-type patches were prepared by film casting techniques on mercury using polymers like HPMC, Eudragit RL-100, and chitosan. Also an attempt was made to increase the permeation rate of drug by preparing an inclusion complex with hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin (HP β-CD). The possibility of a synergistic effect of chemical penetration enhancers (CPE) (propylene glycol and oleic acid) on the transdermal transport of the drug was also studied. Folding endurance was found to be high in patches containing higher amount of the Eudragit. There was increase in tensile strength with an increase in Eudragit in the polymer blend. In vitro drug release profile indicates that the drug release is sustained with increasing the amount of Eudragit in patches. The patches containing inclusion complex of drug showed higher permeation flux compared with patches containing plain drug. The result of the synergistic effect indicates that the HP β-CD in conjunction with other CPE showed a higher permeation flux.

These spots can be itchy or painful. Systemic treatment, topical therapy, and phototherapy are all now used to treat psoriasis. These treatments have a variety of negative and perhaps fatal side effects. Patients with psoriasis are more likely to acquire other conditions such as psoriatic arthritis, anxiety and depression, cancer, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and Crohn's disease. The majority of people use herbal medicine because it is readily available, inexpensive, and effective. Many plants have promising features, including significant results in the treatment of psoriasis. The present study plans to emphasize such plants, herbal formulations, and associated therapy, which could add value to the development of a better, safe, and efficacious formulation to treat psoriasis that may help new researchers in this field.
