ABSTRAKT
The objective of this study was to develop and optimise self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) of atorvastatin calcium (ATC) for improving dissolution rate and eventually oral bioavailability. Ternary phase diagrams were constructed on basis of solubility and emulsification studies. The composition of ATC-SNEDDS was optimised using the Box-Behnken optimisation design. Optimised ATC-SNEDDS was characterised for various physicochemical properties. Pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and histological findings were performed in rats. Optimised ATC-SNEDDS resulted in droplets size of 5.66 nm, zeta potential of -19.52 mV, t
