The BCS class II includes drugs with low solubility and high permeability. Fenofibrate is an example of this class drugs. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of chitosan about average molecular weight in various formulations on the dissolution of fenofibrate incorporated into this polymer carrier. The study investigated fenofibrate in solid dispersions using a method of the solvent evaporations at the drug to polymer ratio of 1:9;3:7;5:5.
The highest dissolution of fenofibrate, amounting to 72.7%, was observed after 60 minutes from solid dispersions with drug-polymer weight ratio 1:9 in the presence chitosan A and was72 times higher in relation to the amount of added polymer in comparison to the solubility of pure drug.
Investigations DSC showed that fenofibrate was remained in crystalline state in solid dispersion.
