**10.1 Ideal characteristics of an adsorbent**


Researchers developed and characterized solid nanoemulsion granules (SNGs) of ezetimibe and ezetimibe-simvastatin in combination by using aerosol 200 as adsorbent. Results of X-ray diffraction shows improvement in the solubility of drugs in SNGs. Scanning electron microscopy indicates no precipitation of drug on the surface carrier. Drastic enhancement in dissolution profile of the drug in SNGs when compared to pure drug. Plasma level data in rats show a significant decrease in total cholesterol level compared to pure drug (**Figure 4**).
