Popis: Aim: Self-emulsifying phospholipid-complex preconcentrates (SEPPs) were fabricated to improve oral bioavailability of daidzein (DAI), an anticancer drug with challenging amphiphobic nature and extensive presystemic metabolism. Methods: DAI–phosphatidylcholine complex was prepared to enhance DAI lipophilicity and loading in SEPPs. The physicochemical characteristics and the pharmacokinetic behavior in rats were studied. Results: Surfactant-free SEPP (plain DAI:Phosal® 53MCT complex) was monodisperse upon aqueous dilution with nanorange globule size (485 ± 15 nm). Compared with drug suspension, it showed enhanced drug release and 2.38-fold enhanced oral bioavailability with minimized drug-induced intestinal irritation. Addition of 30% surfactant/co-surfactant mixture did not show any significant difference in drug release rate or absorption profile. Conclusion: The highly safe surfactant-free SEPP could be an effective approach to improve DAI oral bioavailability.
