BACKGROUND The poor bioavailability of a problematic molecule is predominantly due to its high lipophilicity, low solubility in gastric fluids and/or high fist pass metabolism. Self microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS), a lipidic type IV nano-formulation has been of interest in the field of pharmaceutical research due to its potential for tailoring the physicochemical properties of pharmaceutical molecules. METHODS This review provides insights on various recent innovations and reports from the past seven years (2012-2019) of self-emulsifying formulations for the delivery of various types of poorly soluble drugs, phytoconstituents and high molecular peptides and gives exhaustive details of the outcome of the endeavors in this field. RESULTS Various types of innovative formulations have been molded from SMEDDS like selfemulsifying powders, granules, tablets, pellets, eutectic and cationic formulations. Till date, many research reports and patents have been filed on self-emulsifying dosage forms and many formulations have gained US-FDA approvals which are summarized in the review article. CONCLUSION This review content highlighted the increasing scope of SMEDDS in augmenting the physiochemical properties of an API, the variegated formulation types and the attributes of API that can be improved by SMEDD based formulations.

用于问题分子的自微乳化药物递送系统：更新。

背景技术有问题的分子的不良生物利用度主要是由于其高亲脂性，在胃液中的低溶解性和/或高拳头代谢。自微乳化药物递送系统（SMEDDS）是一种脂质IV型纳米制剂，由于其具有调整药物分子的理化性质的潜力，因此在药物研究领域引起了人们的关注。方法这篇综述提供了过去七年（2012-2019）的各种自创新乳化剂的见解，这些自乳化剂用于递送各种类型的难溶性药物，植物成分和高分子肽，并给出了治疗结果的详尽信息。在这一领域的努力。结果从SMEDDS可以模塑出各种类型的创新配方，例如自乳化粉剂，颗粒剂，片剂，小丸，低共熔和阳离子配方。迄今为止，许多关于自乳化剂型的研究报告和专利均已提交，并且许多制剂已获得US-FDA的批准，其概述见综述。结论这篇综述内容强调了SMEDDS在增强API的理化特性，多样化的制剂类型和API的特性方面的范围不断扩大，这些可以通过基于SMEDD的制剂改善。
