Formulation and evaluation of an isocratic mixture liquid self nanoemulsifying system to improve lipophilic drug delivery through gastrointestinal tract / Liza Salleh

Self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) is an isocratic mixture of oil, surfactant and co-surfactant which spontaneously emulsifies in water under gentle agitation. SNEDDS has been reported to increase the absorption rate and enhance the plasma concentration of poorly water-soluble compou...
