Abstract

Clinical use of ketoconazole is limited by lipophilic nature of the drug molecule. PAMAM dendrimer provides an excellent carrier for encapsulating the drugs that has the capacity to attach and discharge drugs through various mechanisms. In this research work, the solubilization mechanism, in vitro release studies of ketoconazole- PAMAM complex were investigated. The experimental results suggested that an increase in dendrimer concentration and generation results in an increase in aqueous solubility of ketoconazole. In vitro release study revealed the sustained release of the drug from drug dendrimer complex..
