Introduction
Recent advances in combinatorial chemistry techniques employed in the pharmaceutical industry have dramatically increased the number of new compounds for evaluation as drug candidates. Approximately half these new chemical entities contain hydrophobic substituents that result in the compounds exhibiting poor aqueous solubility. This lipophilic attribute offers the capability in tailoring the formulation of a new chemical entity into a lipid emulsion drug delivery system to accommodate the specific requirements of the disease with respect to stability, toxicity and efficacy in parenteral administration.
Types of Emulsions for Parenteral Drug Delivery
An emulsion is a dispersion of two or more immiscible liquids stabilised by a surfactant or emulsifier coating the droplets and preventing coalescence by reducing interfacial tension or creating a physical repulsion between the droplets (1). Two common types of emulsions are found in parenteral drug delivery systems. Water in oil emulsions (W/O) are used in sustained release of steroids and vaccines by intramuscular injection. Oil in water (O/W) or lipid emulsions can be administered by a variety of parenteral routes (for example subcutaneous, intramuscular, intra-arterial), but are predominantly injected intravenously in parenteral nutrition applications.
