Novel medicated straws were developed based on drug-loaded electrospun fibers prepared by direct current electrospinning (DCES) and high-speed electrospinning (HSES) of scaled-up productivity. Good quality micro- and nanofibers were electrospun using both techniques despite the multiple times higher throughput rate of HSES based on the scanning electron microscopic imaging (SEM). Solid state analyses revealed that the poorly soluble model drug carvedilol (CAR) was dispersed in an amorphous form

The aim of this new work was to improve the dissolution rate of poorly water-soluble cilostazol (CLT) by adsorbing dissolved drug molecules onto the surface of undissolved carriers via reprecipitation and deposition process as the solvent (methylene chloride) was evaporated. The adsorption mixtures of CLT with Aerosil 300 and lactose monohydrate provided better drug dissolution rate as compared to mannitol.
