AbstractIn this study, we focused on quetiapine fumarate (QTF), a class II BCS drug. QTF is an atypical antipsychotic used in the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorders. Our objective was to develop a new QTF-loaded self-emulsifying drug delivery system (SEDDS) to improve the dissolution and absorption of the drug. An experimental design approach was used to develop and optimize QTF-loaded SEDDS. The optimized formulation was characterized for droplets size, zeta potential, PDI, and stability. It was then evaluated using an in-vitro combined test for dissolution and Everted gut sac technique. Mathematical modeling and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to elucidate the mechanism of release.en
