Its highly lipophilic nature and low aqueous solubility classify it as a Biopharmaceutics Classification System Class II Drug.

This study aimed to formulate drug-loaded nanovesicular Spanlastics within oral fast-dissolving films, enabling buccal mucosa delivery to bypass hepatic metabolism and enhance drug bioavailability. Felodipine nanovesicular Spanlastics were formulated using a modified Ethanol Injection method. Design Expert® Software Version 13 and a 2<sup>3</sup> factorial design model determined the effect of formulation variables on response variables. The Spanlastics, characterized for particle size (ranging from 155.7 to 308.9 nm) and entrapment efficiencies (84.68 to 88.36%), showed lamellar, circularly shaped vesicles as observed through Optical and Transmission Electron Microscopy. These optimized Spanlastics were incorporated into oral fast-dissolving films, which exhibited substantial flexibility, sufficient mechanical strength, a disintegration time of 35 s, and rapid drug release of 95.99% within 5 min. Scanning Electron Microscopy imaging confirmed a smooth, porous, and uniform surface of the films. Short-term stability studies indicated that the films maintained stable physical and structural attributes.

Latex films are tested by the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and contact angle (CA).
