Our study developed a noval self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) to enhance oral absorption of elemene and evaluated its oral bioavailability in rats. Pseudo-ternary phase diagrams were constructed to identify the efficient self-microemulsification region. SMEDDS formulations were further optimized by measurement of mean droplet size and emulsification time. The in vitro release profile of SMEDDS was determined in different aqueous media. The optimal formulation consisted of 10%Miglyol? 812, 41.7%Cremophor? EL, 8.3%Labrasol? ,20%Transcutol? P as well as 200 mg/g elemene, and demonstrated a higher release rate in simulated gastric fluid than emulsion and pure drug. Our results indicate that SMEDDS is a potential and promising drug delivery system for lipophilic Chinese herbal medicines, such as elemene.
