ABSTRACT:
Oral administration is the most preferable route for drug administration. Now a day's more chemical substance exhibit low aqueous solubility resulting in poor bioavailability so unsatisfactory through oral route. SEDDS plays a major role to overcome the problem of the delivery of lipid drugs through this route. oil, surfactant, co-surfactant (Smix) are the backbone of SEDDS formulation. It can be categorized into SNEDDS and SMEDDS. High energy emulsification and low energy emulsification are two methods for formulation. Evaluation of SEDDS done by droplet size, morphology, zeta potential, dissolution studies. SEDDS is and advanced successful approach for delivery of low aqueous soluble drugs of anti-cancer, anti-viral, anti-bacterial as well as natural products. We must work more on SEDDS more products should be marketed for the benefit of mankind.
KEYWORDS: lipophilic drugs, self-emulsifying, lipid delivery, surfactants.
INTRODUCTION:
One of the advanced formulations is SEDDS, anisotropic mixture of drug, lipid, and surfactant which consists of one or more hydrophilic cosolvent or co-emulsifier with droplets size ranging from few Nanometres to several Microns. It can be categorized into Self Nano-Emulsifying Agent (SNEDDS) and Self Micro-Emulsifying Agent (SMEDDS) with a range between 100-250 nm and later less than 100 nm.[4]
Lipid-based formulation amplifies the solubility of the drug during GI transit and fabricates the lipophilic ambiance at the micro level to allow drug transportation towards intestinal absorption site.[5] Oral administration for the very first time in 2000 Pouton reported the SEDDS to delivery of poorly water-soluble drugs using Miglyol 812 and Tween 85 to enhance both solubility and bioavailability.[6] Both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs can be incorporated within oil surfactant mixture encapsulated in a single unit dosage form. The drug Moiety Release in the form of fine emulsion in the gastrointestinal tract lumen. It avoids absorption by lymphatic system and bypassing hepatic first-pass metabolism. BCS Class II and Class IV are expected candidates for SEDDS.[7] According to Pouton, lipid base formulation is classified into four categories.[8]
Fig 1. Classification of SEDDS
Mechanism:
Self-emulsification occurs due to entropy change that favors in dispersion that is more than the energy required to increase the surface area of dispersion and negative free energy (ΔԌ)[9]. The free energy of conventional emulsion is a direct function of energy required to create a new surface between the two-phase. This can be illustrated by-
(ΔԌ)
= ƩNπσ
ΔԌ = Free energy associated with process
N = Number of droplets
σ =Interfacial energy
r = Radius of droplet
For spontaneous emulsion, very low energy required to for the emulsion, this energy either can be positive or negative and the interfacial structure must have no resistance to surface shearing.[9]In due course of time, two-phase of emulsion will tend to separate to reduce interfacial area and subsequently the free energy of the system. Conventional emulsifying agent forms a monolayer around the droplet to stabilize the emulsion, resulting from aqueous dilution hence reduce interfacial tension and preventing coalescence.[10]
Phase diagram:
Pseudo tertiary phase diagram is an authenticated way to construct lipidbased drug delivery system such as SEDDS. It demonstrates the self-dispersing ability of SEDDS as a thermodynamically stable self. Nano microcarrier to deliver in the GI lumen, providing knowledge on phase behavior concerning different formulation aspects. Phase diagram is constructed to optimize the quantities of different compounds employed in the preparation of SEDDS.[11]
The optimized Surfactant is dissolved in the oil phase in different proportion in a glass test tube than each phase of surfactant and oil phase is titrated against aqueous phase, turbidity in test tube referred to as Endpoint. Whereas in the dilution method different ratios of surfactant, co-surfactant, and oil as per requirement are incorporated for preparing tertiary mixture. Nanoemulsion is evaluated by diluting the tertiary mixture with a suitable volume of distilled water. The phase diagram determines the area of nanoemulsion and globule size.[12]
Excipients
Drug
Drug hydrophilicity/lipophilicity plays a major role in SEDDS formulation. Drug should have log P ≥ 2. A low dose of the drug is formulated and it should not undergo first-pass metabolism extensively.[13]
Oil:
Oil plays a chief role in solubilizing lipophilic drug. Both long and medium-chain triglyceride oil with various degrees of saturation can be used for the formulation of SEDDS oil to enhance the ability of drug for efficient absorption in GIT through the intestinal lymphatic system. Solubility capacity of low hydrophobic drug can be overcome by bending triglycerides with mono-glycerides and di-glycerides.[14]
Surfactant:
Generally, non-ionic surfactants that have relatively high hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) are suitable for the formulation of SEDDS. Mostly ethorylated poly glycolized glyceride and polyoxyethelene 20 oleate are used as excipients. Natural emulsifying agents are quite safer than the synthetic one. Surfactant create interfacial film and reduces the interfacial tension. Some non-ionic surfactants have lesser degree of toxicitythan ionic surfactant but may cause moderate reversible change in intestinal wall permeability. Generally, 30-60% w/w of formulation of surfactant yield better self-emulsificant in GIT large concentration of surfactant may irritate the GIT wall.[15]
Cosurfactant:
Organic solvents that are suitable for oral administration assist to dissolve a large amount of either the hydrophilic surfactant of the drug in the lipid base. This plays the role of co-surfactant in the microemulsion system to remove interfacial tension to an even smaller transient negative value. Provides flexibility to achieve different curvature for the formulation of different concentration of microemulsion.[16]

FIG 3. Classification of formulation process
High Energy Emulsification Method
1. High pressure homogenization (HPH):
High-pressure homogenisation is needed for nanoemulsion preparation. High-pressure homogenizer is used to produce extremely low particle size up to 1 nm. The dispersion of two phases forces the mixture by means of a small inlet orifice at very high pressure of around500 to 5000 psi.
2. Ultrasonication:
Another very efficient method for reducing a droplet size is ultrasonication. Sonicator probe (sonotrodes) are used to provide high energy. Electric voltage can be changed due to the expand and contract nature of sonotrods as it contains piezoelectric quartz crystal. Mechanical vibration is produced when the tip of sonicator touches liquid medium which results in cavitation. Thus, ultrasound can directly produce nanoemulsion with droplet size as low as 0.2 mm.
3. Microfluidization:
Microfluidization is one of the patented mixing technologies, by using a device called as microfluidizer. This device was used in a high-pressure positive displacement pump (500- 20000psi), which forces the product through the interaction chamber, resulting in very fine particles in the submicron range. This process is repeated many times to obtain a desired size to produced homogeneous nanoemulsion system.
Low Energy Emulsification:
1. Phase inversion emulsification method:
This method involves phase transitions by applying higher temperatures to the pathway for emulsification.
2. Spontaneous emulsification:
Nanoemulsion is spontaneously formed by this method. Preparation of homogeneous and uniform organic solution consisting of oil and surfactant in water miscible surfactant and hydrophilic surfactant phase. To form stable o/w emulsion under continuous magnetic stirring organic phase was injected in aq phase. under reduced pressure aqueous phase was evaporated.

Antiretroviral:
AtazanvirBisulfate (ATV):
Atazanvir is an Antiretroviral drug for the cure of retrovirus, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). The main aim is to keep the HIV in the body at a low level. Many Anti retroviral drugs go under first pass metabolism and GI degradation, resulting in low bioavailability. This is overcome by preparing Atazanvir SMEDDS. This drug is an Azapeptid HIV 1 Protease inhibitor which inhibits the Gag-pol protein in HIV 1 infection cells, resulting in the prevention of mature virion and infection of other cells. Triacetion, Span20, transcutolHp are used as oil, surfactant and cosurfactant respectively for drug delivery in ratio 25:50:29% w/w for formation of L-SMEDDS. Further, it was converted into S-SMEDDS by using Aerosil 200 as solid carrier, resultant particle size was 65.8 nm with Zita potential-9.2 MV which is stable over 6 months. [19]

Vasant, Survarna prepared SEDDS of nateglinide to increase solubility and dissociation rate, further they converted liquid SEDDS into solid formerly by absorbing into absorbent aerosil 200. Carpyrol 90 was selected as oil as it shows high solubility to the drug. SEDDS was prepared by Vortex Method using different concentration of oil, surfactant and co-surfactant containing 60mg Nateglinide and average globule size found to be 141.5-240.9nm and drug content was between 92-99.17%. Significant increase in bioavailability was observed by S-SMEDDS formulation of Nateglinide.[21]
Repaglinide
Repaglinide remains a drug of choice for diabetic patients with impaired kidney function. Repaglinide excreted mainly in the bile.S-SNEDDS of Repaglinide have been prepared for improving the bioavailability of drug and sustain its glucose-lowering action. Four types of oils have been used for the preparation of SNEDDS (Oleic acid, Isopropyl Myristate IPM, labrafil 1944 and 2125) with surfactants (Chromophore E135, ChomophoreRH40, Labrasol and Span 20) and various co-surfactants (Propylene glycol, Lour glycol FCE). From phase study nanoemulsion existence areas were obtained with oil to surfactant and co-surfactants ratio were obtained more for IPM compare to other oils. The smallest average droplet size was 13.51nm and highest average size was 19.68nm. SNEDDS of Repaglinide in-vitro release profile compare to marketed product.[22]
Anti-hypertensive:
Olmesartanmedoxomil (olm):
OlmesartanMedoxomil is an antihypertensive drug under the category of Angiotensin II receptor blocker with absolute bioavailability less than 26%. Shailesh T Prajapat, Harsh A Joshi reported OLM-SMEDDS formulation which has a high dissolution rate compare to plain OLMsuspension. Here 34% Acrysol EL, Transculto P (oil, surfactant) with 20mg of drug for preparation of SMEDDS. And almost two-fold increase in bioavailability was observed.[23]
Ramipril
Ramipril is another ideal drug in case of hypertension with low solubility and bioavailability around 28-30%. It is an effective inhibitor of angiotensin converting enzymes (ACE) that prevent conversion of AT I to AT-II. The water titration method was used for determination solubility of Ramipril and found to be more in orange oil 85.23+2.26/85.23-2.26 compare to other oils, for optimization of formulation Tween 80 and propylene glycol was used. Best emulsion was found in ratio 2:1 from electrical conductivity (0.283us/cm) and staining test the formulation was concluded as O/W type microemulsion with viscosity 3.52Cps and conforms that microemulsion formulaic can be used alternative to conventional dosage form of Ramipril for fine prove bioavailability.[24]
Candesartan cilexetsl:
Condestrancilexetsl is an esterified prodrug of candesartan used for the treatment of hypertension. It is the Nano peptide angiotensin II type, receptor antagonist. condestran has oral bioavailability around 15% so lipid-based formulation is curved out to increase drug solubility hence bioavailability. The solubility of condestran was high in capryol 90 (80.12 +_1.04) compare to other oils, formulation prepared usingcapryol90-oil, labrasol- surfactant and captex 500, caurpul MCM-cosurfactant this passes thermodynamic stress test with mean globule size 9.5 nm. Viscosity 0.8824 cp. In vitro drug release study for candesartan cilexetil SMEDDS was extremely significant (p<0.05) as compared to marketed product.[25]
Anti-emetic by nasal route
Dimenhydrinate
Nasal Route has increasingly investigatory for systemic delivery of drugs due to its large surface area 190cm², High permeation and avoid hepatic first pass metabolism. In case of nausea and vomiting treatment if the oral route is complicated or not feasible than nasal administration is unsuitable. Dimenhydrinate belongs to a class of anti-emetic drug. It is poorly water-soluble. The study aimed to prepare SEDDS for nasal administration of Dimenhydrinate using diffusion to facilitate permeability through bovine nasal mucosal tissue was cheated using diffusion chamber (Hugo Sachs Eleckronik Harvard Apparatus GM6H). Dimenhydrinate show high solubility in Transcutol HP then Campul MCM and Campule PG8. The tertiary phase was constructed using oil, Cermophor E1 and Labrasolwas surfactant and PEG200-PEG400 was co-surfactant. Dimethyl was loaded in SEDDS pre-concentrates to 7.5% (w/v). This result in droplet size of 60-220nm and enhancement in permeability was up to 2-8 fold compared to pure drug.[26]
Anti-hyperuricemic:
6-shogaol:
6-shogaol is an alkyl phenol compound purified and obtained from the root of ginger. It has poor aq solubility that results in low bioavailability. SMEDDS of 6-shogaol was designed by pseudo-ternary phase diagram and central composite design using 18.62% w/w ethyl oleate (oil phase) and tween 80 (surfactant) to PEG 400 as co-surfactant in ratio of (1:73:1, w/w). The mean droplet size of resultant spherical shaped homogeneous droplet was 20.00±0.26nm with 0.18±0.2 poly dispersity. 571.18% enhancement in oral bioavailability of the drug was observed from the animal study in hyperuricemic rats. A significant decrease in uric acid volumeand xanthine oxidase activity was observed by 6-shogaol-SEDDS.[27]
Peptide delivery:
Polymyxin B (PMB)
Polymyxin B is a peptide drug with hydrophilic character, due to the formation of imine conjugation between the primary amino group of PMB and carboxyl group of cinnamaldehyde it can’t be incorporated in lipophilic nanocarrier system for oral administration of the drug. To prepare SEDDS of polymyxin, PMB-cinnamaldehyde conjugation was formed by covalent bonding between electrophilic carbonyl group of cinnamaldehyde and neucleophillicNH2group of PMB after nitrogen deprotonation N-H bond pushes the oxygen away from the carbon. Imine bond is formed due to substitution of oxygen atom. Bovine serum albumin use to confirm reversibility of imine bond. PMB-cinnamaldehyde shows high solubility in transcutol, propylene glycol. tween 20, cremophor EL. Four different formulation was prepared using capmul MCM and peceol- oil phase, cremophore EL and tween 20-surfactant, and propylenglycol and transcutol as co-surfactant. SEDDS were loaded with PMB-cinnamaldehyde in concentration of 3.6% with log D value 3.4. 87.1% of primary amine forms imines with cinnamaldehyde. The mean droplet size of the resultant SEDDS was 199.2±3.3 to 214±1.1 nm.[28]
Flavonoids
Curcumin
Curcumin is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial, anti parasitic. Due to this Curcumin is an ideal candidate for chemotherapy of cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) with the potential t o inhibit or kill two different pathogens. Cu-SEDDS was prepared using captox 300(medium-chain ester), cremophor EL and cremopher RH 40(non-ionic surfactant). total 7 formulation was prepared using different quantity of oil, surfactant, co-surfactant. The average size range was from 32.4 to 80.0nm, with negative zeta potential from -1.56to -4.8. Anti Leishmania activity of cu-SEDDS formulation in terms of IC50 against Leishmaniatropica range from 0.19 up to 0.37ųg/ml. Hemolysis caused by the formulation of Cu-SEDDS was 1-2%. This Cu-SEDDS provide effective therapy in low dose compared to unmodified Curcumin.[29]
Cardiovascular:
Rosuvastatin calcium (ros)
Rosuvastatin calcium is a synthetic lipid-lowering agent, a reductase used for the treatment of mixed dyslipidemia, primary hypercholesterolemia, and hypertrigglyceridemia. Ros is very less soluble in aq. Medium with 20% Absolute bioavailability. Ros shows high solubility in campuol MCM and for satisfactory study propylene glycol as co-surfactant and cremophor ELP as surfactant was selected. Ros SEDDS containing oil phase 20 %, surfactant 53.33% and cosurfactant 26.66% was formulated. This micro emulsion was negatively charged with small particle size (10.59nm) nerosil200 was used as absorbent for preparation of solid SEDDS. This S-SEDDS increase solubility and bioavailability of rosuvastatin.[30]
Simvastatin
simvastatin is a low water soluble drug. The study was conducted by preparing SEDDS with moringaoleifera and beniseed oils, tween 80 and polyethylene glycol. The MSO and BSO showed good solubility of the drug as there was no precipitation of the drug. PEG also showed good solubility as there was no precipitation then liquid SEDDS were formulated. Prepared formulation was characterized based on self emulsification ability, emulsification time, phase separation, spontaneity of formation, viscosity. A total of 8 samples were prepared comprising samples F1-F8 (tween 80, BSO, MSO and PEG-200). F1-F3 formed clear transparent and stable mixtures and were selected. The mixture that showed otherwise were rejected. Prepared SEDDS with simvastatin were made to undergo thermal stability tests that comprise heating cooling cycle, centrifugation test, and freeze-thawing test and were all found to be stable at different temperature conditions. Percentage drug content showed good result as most of the formulations showed good drug content of 70% and above. Cloud point determination of the formulation showed that the formulations are stable at physiological temperature. This study shows that the formulation will help to enhance solubility, bioavailability, and fast drug release and therefore can be suitable for oral delivery systems.[31]
CONCLUSION:
Though SEDDS have some biopharmaceutical issues such as drug use for formulation, risk of precipitation, surfactant and its compatibility, effect of oil droplet size whereas optimization of formulation depends on various factor such as dose encapsulation efficiency, adequate solvent capacity to dissolve the drug and fate of drug after its absorption from intestinal mucosa. drug with log P value within 2 is more selectable candidate for formulation of SEDDS. Fine droplet size of micro emulsion showed a better Absorption rate than the larger droplet size with the ideal range of 250nm. Significant change bioavailability is observed between particle size 100nm to 250 nm but still more evidence needs to be collected to prove.[32] Risk of precipitation involved with no of polymer, surfactant, and triglycerides but there is no established method available to determine the risk of precipitation. Excessive use of co-solvent, polymers, co-polymers, and other excipients can affect the supersaturation process in the self-emulsification of drug.[33] L-SEDDS can be converted into S-SEDDS by incorporating various adsorbent to enhance its stability. No doubt that SEDDS has been successfully used to increase drug solubility as well as its bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs candidates, this approach established to improve the absorption and therapeutic efficacy of drug. Now a days it is widely used for targeted drug delivery of anti-cancer, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-hypertensive drugs. Delivery of natural products such as flavonoids, alkaloids, natural oils is possible through SEDDS. Overall SEDDS formulation considered as safe and patient compliance and moreover effective for the delivery of drugs. In conclusion, we should pay attention to the characteristic analysis of SEDDS and further research and development should be done on bioavailability studies and mechanical action of different formulation.
