DESC:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a self-nano emulsifying drug delivery system for a high loading formulation for cholecalciferol. More specifically, the invention relates to self-nano emulsifying drug delivery system adsorbed on a powder substrate for increased rate of dissolution, increased permeability and increased bioavailability and stability.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Cholecalciferol, commonly known as Vitamin D3, is an essential nutrient vital for the proper functioning of the human body. It plays a crucial role in calcium absorption, bone health, reabsorption of calcium and phosphate in kidney immune system modulation, and various other physiological processes. As such, it is a widely recognized and utilized supplement in healthcare and nutraceutical applications.
Cholecalciferol is a fat-soluble vitamin and one of the primary challenges associated with Cholecalciferol is its inherently low aqueous solubility. This limited solubility poses significant hurdles in achieving optimal bioavailability when administered orally. Traditional dosage forms often struggle to deliver sufficient quantities of Cholecalciferol to meet therapeutic requirements due to its poor dissolution properties.
The self-nanoemulsifying drug formulation for Cholecalciferol not only underscores the paramount importance of this essential vitamin in human health but also represents a groundbreaking innovation that has the potential to transform the landscape of Cholecalciferol supplementation. By addressing the challenges of solubility and bioavailability, this formulation holds the promise of improving health outcomes, reducing the burden of deficiency-related diseases, and enhancing the overall quality of life for individuals worldwide.
To address these issues and enhance the therapeutic potential of Cholecalciferol, there is a growing need for innovative pharmaceutical formulations. These formulations should not only improve the loading capacity of Cholecalciferol but also enhance its overall solubility and bioavailability, thereby maximizing its clinical benefits.
EP4009815A2 discloses a composition including a dispersion medium including: an aqueous solution; a first active ingredient; a flavor agent; and a first type of polymer; and a dispersed phase including: a population of particles, each particle including: a core including: a second active ingredient a second type of polymer; and an aqueous solution; a shell, substantially surrounding the core, the shell including: a third type of polymer; a plurality of lipophilic carriers; and a third active ingredient; and a plurality of emulsifying agents.

EA038458B1 discloses an invention relating to the field of pharmaceutical nano formulations, namely, to an aqueous nano dispersion of a lipophilic and hydrophobic bioactive compound with physical stability during at least 1 year at room temperature, comprising an aqueous dispersion medium, a dispersed phase and a surface active agent, wherein the dispersed phase comprises a bioactive compound and the dispersion medium comprises water and a nano dispersion stabilizer in minimum concentration of 30% w/v, wherein said nano dispersion stabilizer ranges in concentration from 15 to 70% w/v and consists of a monosaccharide, a disaccharide, at least one oligosaccharide selected from a gentianose, a maltotirose and a raffinose, a polysaccharide, at least one glycol selected from a propylene glycol or a polyethylene glycol, a polyol or combinations thereof. The invention also relates to a method for preparing such stable nano dispersion.
To overcome these challenges, the present invention introduces a self-nano emulsifying drug formulation for Cholecalciferol. This innovative formulation represents a significant advancement in the field of pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals by offering a comprehensive solution to the limitations associated with Cholecalciferol delivery.

OBJECTIVE OF THE INVENTION
The main objective of the present invention is to provide a self-nanoemulsifying drug formulation for Cholecalciferol to enhance its solubility in water, since it is a fat- soluble vitamin and is poorly soluble in water.
