The purpose of the present investigation was to increase the solubility and dissolution rate of atorvastatin calcium by the preparation of its solid dispersion with polyvinyl pyrrolidone K30 (PVP K30) using kneading method. Drug polymer interactions were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). For the preparation of atorvastatin calcium fast disintegrating tablets, its 1:6 solid dispersion with PVP K30 was used with various natural and synthetic superdisintegrants. In an attempt to construct a statistical model for the prediction of wetting time, disintegration time and percentage dissolution, a 32 full factorial design was used to optimize the influence of the amounts of superdisintegrants. The obtained results showed that dispersion of the drug in the polymer considerably enhanced the dissolution rate. The drug-to-carrier ratio was the controlling factor for dissolution improvement. FTIR spectra revealed no chemical incompatibility between the drug and PVP K30. As indicated from XRD and DSC data, atorvastatin calcium was in the amorphous form, which explains the better dissolution rate of the drug from its solid dispersions. Concerning the optimization study, the regression analysis revealed that an optimum concentration of SSG and crospovidone are required for obtaining fast disintegrating tablets. In conclusion, this investigation demonstrated the potential of experimental design in understanding the effect of the formulation variables on the quality of fast disintegrating tablets containing solid dispersion of a hydrophobic drug.
