Popis: The oral absorption of dronedarone (DRN), a benzofuran derivative with anti-arrhythmic activity, is significantly affected by food intake. The absolute bioavailability of the marketed product (Multaq, Sanofi, U.S.) was about 4% without food, but increased to 15% when administered with a high fat meal. Therefore, to reduce the food-effect on the intestinal absorption of DRN, a novel self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) was formulated and the comparative in vivo absorption studies with the marketed product were carried out using male beagle dogs either in the fasted or fed state. The SMEDDS consisted of the drug, Labrafil M 1944CS, and Kolliphor EL in a weight ratio of 1 : 1 : 2, rapidly formed a fine oil-in-water emulsion with a droplet size less than 50 nm. An in vivo absorption study revealed that the area-under-curve (AUC0-24 h) and maximal plasma concentration (Cmax) were 10.4-fold (p
