- Abstract
Curcumin, an identical compound of Curcuma longa extract, shows limited bioavailability due to its lipophilicity. Inulin of degree of polymerization (DP) of 11 is a carbohydrate member that can potentially increase aqueous solubility and dissolve lipophilic compounds. This study aimed to investigate inulin DP 11 at various drug loads of curcumin on the solubility and dissolution of curcumin. The inulin and C. longa extract were co-processed using a solid dispersion (SD) technology on a spray dryer and were analyzed for curcumin solubility as well as dissolution. The drug content (drug load) of SD formulations was prepared at 10%-30% w/w. As the control, the corresponding drug load was designed without applying the SD technology, called physical mixture (PM) formulations. The results suggest that employing the SD technique, inulin DP 11 co-processed with curcumin enhances the aqueous solubility of curcumin compared to the corresponding PM formulations. The dissolution as analyzed for dissolution efficiency (DE) of the SD samples was enhanced by factors 1.7, 2.9, and 3.3 for the drug load of 10%, 20%, and 30% w/w, respectively. To conclude, inulin DP 11 is favorable to enhance curcumin aqueous solubility and dissolution using am SD platform.
