The Various Facets Of Drug Dissolution

Drug dissolution, a key attribute for determining the bioavailability of a drug, first became official in the United States Pharmacopeia in 1975 for just 12 dosage forms. But now, there are thousands of products which have the dissolution requirement.

Considered one of the crucial aspects during the drug development process, dissolution comes with a number of challenges, the biggest being simulating in-vivo conditions in toto in an in-vitro dissolution test. Experts suggest we will never be able to simulate it 100 per cent. However, technologies like 3-D printing and automisation, among others, have helped the stalwarts in the industry to cope up to some extent with artificial intelligence (AI) also creating a space for itself. While a lot has been done so far, yet there is scope for more!
