Mechanochemical Activation of Olanzapine in Mixed Solid Dispersions: Impact of Excipients on Release and Permeation Rates

Background: The key parameters determining the bioavailability of an active pharmaceutical ingredient are its solubility/dissolution rate in physiological fluids and permeability across biological membranes. Highly accurate in vitro prediction of bioavailability is a key issue that typically arises during the development of new drug formulations and the improvement of existing ones. Objectives: The objective of the present work is to study the dissolution/release and permeation of olanzapine (OL
