Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of bile salts, sodium cholate, sodium 12-ketocholate and\nsodium dehydrocholate, as excipients in ranitidine, aminophylline and phenobarbital tablets on dissolution rate.\nMethods: Four groups of tablets (control without bile salts and three investigational groups containing different\nbile salts) were prepared for three different drug substances: ranitidine, aminophylline and phenobarbital. Dissolution\nrate was measured.\nResults: Dissolution rate is increased significantly in all investigational groups comparing to the control group in\nall three drug substances.\nDiscussion: Presented results are very favourable and encouraging in case of dissolution enhancing and should\nbe further investigated, especially in drug substances that are classified in class II and IV as per Biopharmaceutical\nClassification System (BCS) classification.\nConclusion: Bile acid salts are very promising excipients, proven to act as surfactants and as lubricants.\nRunning title: Bile salts as excipients in ranitidine, aminophylline and phenobarbital tablets.
