The aim of this work is to develop and evaluate self‑nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (SNEDDS) containing simvastatin to increase its oral bioavailability. Formulation EO 5 (Ethyl oleate 9.3% w/w: Tween 80 49.4% w/w: Propylene glycol 39.3% w/w) and Formulation CL 14 (Clove oil 54.3% w/w: Tween 80 34.4% w/w: Transcutol‑P 9.3% w/w) were thoroughly studied. They showed emulsification time less than 1 min, droplet size in the nanometric range, and almost a complete drug release after 2 h. The in‑vitro dissolution profile of both formulations was found to be significant in comparison to the pure drug in pH 1.2 and 7.4 buffers (P < 0.0001). Furthermore, they demonstrated superior anti‑hyperlipidemic activity in comparison to simvastatin suspension (10 mg/kg/day). In order to investigate the impact of oil type on oral bioavailability, the selected formulations have been examined in terms of the in‑vivo pharmacokinetic study, and formulation EO 5 was found to have higher bioavailability. After oral administration of a single dose (40 mg/kg) of simvastatin‑loaded SNEDDS (CL14 and EO 5), a 1.5‑fold and 1.95‑fold increase in bioavailability were observed, respectively, as compared to simvastatin suspension. Hence, the results indicated that the developed SNEDDS could enhance the therapeutic efficacy and oral bioavailability of simvastatin.
