Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the number 1 cause of death
globally. Fenofibrate has been shown an excellent treating effect
on CVDs. However, Fenofibrate is a neutral, lipophilic compound
that is practically insoluble in water, making it challenging to
achieve therapeutic levels consistently. As a result, this project was
using shellac material as the polymeric matrix to enhance the
solubility of Fenofibrate by producing solid dispersion by hot melt extrusion
