Abstract
Improving oral bioavailability of drugs those given as solid dosage forms remains a challenge
for the formulation scientists due to solubility problems. The dissolution rate could be the rate-
limiting process in the absorption of a drug from a solid dosage form of relatively insoluble
drugs. Therefore increase in dissolution of poorly soluble drugs by solid dispersion technique
represents a challenge to the formulation scientists. Solid dispersion techniques have attracted
considerable interest of improving the dissolution rate of highly lipophilic drugs thereby
improving their bioavailability by reducing drug particle size, improving wettability and
forming amorphous particles. The term solid dispersion refers to a group of solid products
consisting of at least two different components, generally a hydrophilic inert carrier or matrix
and a hydrophobic drug.
Keywords: Poorly soluble drug; solid dispersion; solubility enhancement.

INTRODUCTION
Oral bioavailability of drugs depends on its solubility and/or dissolution rate, therefore major
problems associated with these drugs was its very low solubility in biological fluids, which
results into poor bioavailability after oral administration.
[1-5] A drug with poor aqueous
solubility will typically exhibit dissolution rate limited absorption, and a drug with poor
membrane permeability will typically exhibit permeation rate limited absorption [6]. Therefore,
pharmaceutical researchers’ focuses on two areas for improving the oral bioavailability of drugs
include: (i) enhancing solubility and dissolution rate of poorly water-soluble drugs and (ii)
Enhancing permeability of poorly permeable drugs [7].
It has been estimated that 40% of new
chemical entities currently being discovered are poorly water soluble. [8, 9] unfortunately, many
of these potential drugs are abandoned in the early stages of development due to the solubility
problems.
It is therefore important to realize the solubility problems of these drugs and methods for
overcoming the solubility limitations are identified and applied commercially so that potential
therapeutic benefits of these active molecules can be realized [10,11].Therefore lots of efforts
have been made to increase dissolution of drug. Methods available to improve dissolution
include salt formation, micronization and addition of solvent or surface active agents. Solid
dispersion (SD) is one of such methods and involves a dispersion of one or more active
ingredients in an inert carrier or matrix in solid state prepared by melting, dissolution in solvent
or melting-solvent method.[11]
The formulation of drugs having low aqueous solubility using
solid dispersion technology has been an active area of research since 1960.[12]
The drug can be dispersed molecularly, in amorphous particles (clusters) or in crystalline
particles..The first drug whose rate and extent of absorption was significantly enhanced using the
solid dispersion technique was sulfathiazole by Sekiguchi and Obi [1].This technique has been
used by many researchers/scientists for a wide variety of poorly aqueous soluble drugs to
enhance the solubility of the drugs and hence bioavailability [13, 14, 15]
Clarithromycin is used for the treatment of infections including those of the chest, skin and ear. It
is also used for some types of stomach ulcer. Even if your condition improves, it is important to
complete the prescribed course unless you are told to stop. Otherwise your infection could come
back. Any side-effects are usually mild. The most common are feeling or being sick, indigestion,

and diarrhea. Clarithromycin is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. It works by killing
the bacteria that cause the infection [16,17].
Clarithromycin is stable in gastric medium and has a narrow absorption in gastrointestinal tract,
rapid intestinal absorption, highly solute at gastric pH, no effect of food on absorption and it has
higher eradication rate in vivo to H.pylori. Based on this, an attempt was made through this
investigation to formulate floating matrix tablets of clarithromycin using different polymers and
their combinations. [18.19]
Clarithromycin is a macrolitic antibiotic used to treat pharyngitis, tonsillitis, acute maxillary
sinusitis, acute bacterial exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, pneumonia (especially atypical
pneumonias associated with Chlamydia pneumonia or TWAR), skin and
skin structure infections. In addition, it is sometimes used to treat Legionellosis,Helicobacter
pylori, and Lyme disease.[20]
Clarithromycin prevents bacteria from growing by interfering with their protein synthesis. It
binds to the subunit 50S of the bacterial ribosome and thus inhibits the translation of peptides.
Clarithromycin has similar antimicrobial spectrum as erythromycin, but is more effective against
certain Gram-negative bacteria, particularly Legionella pneumophila. Besides this bacteriostatic
effect, Clarithromycin also has bactericidal effect on certain strains, such as Haemophilus
influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Neisseria gonorrhoeae. [21]
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of
clarithromycin extended-release tablets and other antibacterial drugs, clarithromycin extended
release tablets should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly
suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. When culture and susceptibility information are
available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. In the
absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the
empiric selection of therapy. [21-25].

API characterization
Characterization of API was done by development of calibration curve and also pre-formulation
studies. This was mainly done to ensure that the API which is to be used is of the optimum
quality and its properties could be judged.
Calibration curve of Clarithromycin
Calibration curve of Clarithromycin: Calibration curve was prepared in two solvents for
the API. These were Methanol and HCl. The procedure for determining absorbance maxima
was done by using two solvents explained as follows:
Methanol – 100 mg clarithromycin was dissolved in 100 ml methanol to prepare stock
solution. Now take out 1ml, 2ml, 3ml, 4ml, 5ml 6ml, 7ml, 8ml, 9ml and 10ml of stock
solution to prepare different concentrations of 100µg/ml, 200µg/ml, 300µg/ml, 400µg/ml,
500µg/ml, 600µg/ml, 700µg/ml, 800µ/ml, 900µg/ml and 1000µg/ml respectively. The base
line was corrected and lambda max was determined on UV spectrophotometer at 282 nm.
Absorbance of drug at different concentrations was calculated and graph was plotted.
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) -100 mg Clarithromycin acid was dissolved in 100 ml HCl to
prepare stock solution. Now take out 1ml, 2ml, 3ml, 4ml, 5ml 6ml,7ml, 8ml, 9ml and 10ml
of stock solution to prepare different concentrations of 100µg/ml, 200µg/ml, 300µg/ml,
400µg/ml, 500µg/ml, 600µg/ml, 700µg/ml, 800µ/ml, 900µg/ml and 1000µg/ml
respectively. The base line was corrected and lambda max was determined on UV
spectrophotometer at 288 nm. Absorbance of drug at different concentrations was
calculated and graph was plotted.
Pre-formulation Studies
Before starting with the formulation development the pre-formulation studies were conducted to
characterize the drug and the selection of Excipients was also based on the pre-formulation
studies. [27,28] It mainly involved two parameters Organoleptic and physicochemical properties
of the API used. This was mainly done to check the purity of the drug and any deviation could
also help to know if there is any detoriation involved.

a) Organoleptic properties (API)
Appearance
Colour
Odour
All the above studies were carried out by using no special equipment these were done by visual
assessment.
b) Physicochemical Properties (API)
Melting point:
For determination of melting point of Clarithromycin a melting point apparatus of
capillary type was used. The capillary filled with API was inserted and the temperature at
which the API started to melt was noted down as melting point of the API.
Partition coefficient:
The partition coefficient is the parameter used to determine the lipophilicity of the API. The
API with high lipophilic nature has high lipophilicity and thus a high partition coefficient and
vis-versa. The logarithm of the ratio of the concentrations of the un-ionized solute in the
organic and aqueous solvents is called log P: The log P value is also known as a measure of
lipophilicity (partition coefficient). It provides a means of characterizing the
lipophilic/hydrophilic nature of the drug. [29-32]
Drugs having values of P much greater than 1 are classified as lipophilic, whereas those with
partition coefficient much less than 1 are indicative of a hydrophilic drug. [33, 34] The partition
coefficient is commonly determined using an oil phase of n-Octanol and water.
It can be determined by the formula: [35]
Ko/w
Solubility Studies:
These pre-formulation studies formed the most important part of the formulation development;
as it formed the base for selection of excipients which had high solubility of the API. The
procedure followed was the shake flask method. [36-38] The solubility of Clarithromycin in
various solvents was determined by dissolving excess amount of API in 5ml of each of the
selected solvents in 10ml capacity stoppered vials separately. The mixture vials were then kept at

37±1.0 ◦C in a shaker bath for 24 h to get equilibrium.. The concentration of API was determined
in each solvent by UV spectrophotometer by scanning from 200-400nm (wavelength 282nm).
[39-42].
Method of preparation of Solid dispersion
Preparation of solid dispersion (kneading technique)
Preparation of Binary System
Binary mixtures was prepared by mixing accurate weight of Clarithromycin with sodium starch
glycolate in drug: polymer ratio of 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, and 1:5 for 5 min using glass mortar and
pestle. The physical mixture was triturated using a small volume of water and Hcl (1:1) solution
to give a thick paste, which was kneaded for 30 minutes, and then dried at 45°C in an oven. The
dried mass was pulverized, passed through 60 mesh sieve size, then weighed, transferred to
airtight container and stored, and the percentage drug content was determined.
Preparation of Ternary system
Ternary mixtures was prepared by mixing accurate weight of Clarithromycin with sodium starch
glycolate and citric acid in Drug: polymer ratio of 1:5:2,1:5:4, and 1:5:5 for 5 min using glass
mortar and pestle. The physical mixture was triturated using a small volume of water and Hcl
(1:1) solution to give a thick paste, which was kneaded for 30 minutes, and then dried at 45°C in
an oven. [43,44] The dried mass was pulverized, passed through 60 mesh sieve size, then
weighed, transferred to airtight container and stored, and the percentage drug content was
determined.
Characterization of Solid Dispersion
Percentage yield
Percentage practical yield were calculated to know about percent yield or efficiency of any
method, thus it helps in selection of appropriate method of production. Solid dispersions were
collected and weighed to determine practical yield (PY) from the following equation [45-49 ].
Percentage yield = Practical mass (solid dispersion) × 100
Theoretical mass (drug + carrier)
Drug content
The Physical mixture of solid dispersion equivalent to 50 mg of drug were taken and dissolved
separately in100 ml of Hcl. The solutions were filtered and were further diluted such that the
absorbance falls within the range of standard curve. [50-52] The absorbance of solutions were

determined at 288 nm by UV‐visible spectrophotometer. The actual drug content was calculated
using the following equation as follows
% Drug content = Practical drug content × 100
Theoretically drug content
Fourier Transform Infra red spectroscopy (FTIR)
The IR analysis of sample drug was carried out for qualitative compound identification. The
infrared spectra of Clarithromycin was performed on Fourier transformed infrared
spectrophotometer. This technique shines a beam containing many frequencies of light at once,
and measures how much of that beam is absorbed by the sample. Next, the beam is modified to
contain a different combination of frequencies, giving a second data point. This process is
repeated many times [53-58].
X-Ray Diffraction (XRD)
X-ray powder diffraction patterns were recorded on X-ray powder diffraction system, PAN
analytical spectris Pvt.Ltd., [59,60] Singapore using copper target, a voltage of 40 Kv and a
current of 30 mA. The scanning was done over 2θ range of 5º to 60º.
Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)
Photomicrographs of clarithromycin and Best ternary SD formulation were obtained by SEM
(JSM-6360; JEOL Ltd., Japan). The powder were mounted on double-sided adhesive tape and
sputtered with gold for 2 min using SPI sputter. Scanning Electron photographs were taken at an
accelerating voltage of 15 kV [61,62].
In vitro release studies
The drug release rate from solid dispersion was determined using USB apparatus Type II paddle
type dissolution apparatus. Weighed amount of formulation was filled into the capsule then it
was being placed in the basket. 0.1N Hcl was used as dissolution medium at 37±5ºc at a rotating
speed of 100 rpm.
Volume of dissolution media was kept at 900ml .5ml sample was withdrawn at predetermined
time. First sample was withdrawn at 10 min interval.
The samples were analysed specrtophotometrically at 288 nm to determine the concentration of
drug present. The initial volume of dissolution fluid was maintained by adding 5ml of fresh
dissolution [63-66].

Pre-formulation studies
The Preformulation studies were carried out for the API in use which involved the organoleptic
and physicochemical properties of the drug. The results obtained were used in the formulation
development process.
a) Organoleptic properties: The basic properties of the API were tested as appearance, colour
and odour. It was observed as a powder which was white in colour having no odour and bitter in
taste.
b) Physico-chemical properties: The physicochemical properties were analysed to estimate its
ability to be used in the formulation. The various properties studied were as follows;
Melting point:
There is a linear correlation between log flux and reciprocal of melting point, indicating
that the lower melting point the better penetration [68]. The melting point of
Clarithromycin was found to be 210-222ºC.

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM)
Surface characteristics of ternary solid dispersion were analysed using a scanning electron
microscope. This technique is useful in the examination of internal and external morphology of
solid dispersions. The SEM analysis of the samples was performed to investigate the surface
morphology and homogeneity of the particles. The samples of optimized solid dispersion were
sputter-coated with gold at room temperature before examination to render the surface of
particles Electroconductive [71-76].The SEM analysis of the sample was done by Jeol JSM-840
(Japan) scanning electron microscope. SEM analysis of clarithromycin was shown in fig 510 and
SEM of final formulation (1:5:2) ternary solid dispersion was shown in fig 5.11.

XRD ( X-ray Diffractometry)
X-ray diffracometry (XRD) spectra Drug and ternary systems with carriers are presented in
Figure 3. The x-ray diffractogram of clarithromycin has sharp peaks at diffraction angles (2θ)
12.26-, 15.88-, 19.88-, 22.08-, and 23.92- showing a typical crystalline pattern. However, all
major characteristic crystalline peaks appear in the diffractogram of both physical mixtures and
solid dispersion system. Moreover, the relative intensity and 2θ angle of these peaks remains
practically unchanged [77-80]. Thus it can be clearly suggestive from x-ray data that there is no
amorphization of clarithromycin and aliquots were withdrawn, filtered (0.22 μm pore size) and
spectrophotometrically assayed if it is still in its original crystalline form.

CONCLUSION
The result of the present study showed that the solid dispersion had enhanced the dissolution of
drug . Solid dispersions of Clarithromycin were prepared by using sodium starch glycolate and
citric acid showed better drug release. On the basis of result of Clarithromycin, sodium starch
glycolate and citric acid solid dispersions in 1:5:2 ratio (TD1) revealed better solubility and
dissolution rate. This study was started to establish the possibility of preparing solid dispersions
with improved aqueous solubility and dissolution rate, which will solve the difficulties in the
development of pharmaceutical dosage forms of Clarithromycin, poorly water soluble drug due
to their limited water solubility, slow dissolution rate and low bioavailability. Solid dispersion
was prepared by Kneading method thus may be an ideal means of drug delivery system for
poorly water soluble drugs.
