Eutectic mixtures have been known for a long time in the pharmaceutical field. However, its potential as a system to improve the solubility and dissolution of poorly water-soluble drugs remains little explored. Studies involving the microstructural characterization and the preparation of solid dosage forms containing eutectic mixtures are also an issue to be developed. Recently, the number of studies involving the preparation of eutectic mixtures to improve the solubility and oral bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs has increased considerably, including drug-carrier and drug-drug mixtures. In this review is discussed the potential of eutectic mixtures as an alternative pharmaceutical solid system to enhance drugs solubility, dissolution rate or oral bioavailability. Different aspects like history, physico-chemical, microstructural properties, preparation methods, mechanisms involved in solubility/dissolution enhancement, techniques for solid state characterization, in vivo studies, advantages, limitations and formulation perspective are also discussed.
