Resumen:
Over the last half-century, solid dispersions (SDs) have been intensively investigated as a strategy to improve drugs solubility and dissolution rate, enhancing oral bioavailability. In this review, an overview of the state of the art of SDs technology is presented, focusing on their classification, the main preparation methods, the limitations associated with their instability, and the marketed products. To fully take advantage of SDs potential, an improvement in their physical stability and the ability to prolong the supersaturation of the drug in gastrointestinal fluids is required, as well as a better scientific understanding of scale-up for defining a robust manufacturing process. Taking these limitations into account will contribute to increase the number of marketed pharmaceutical products based on SD technology.
