Amino Acids

Co-amorphous systems (COAMS) have raised increasing interest in the pharmaceutical industry, since they combine the increased solubility and/or faster dissolution of amorphous forms with the stability of crystalline forms. However, the choice of the co-former is critical for the formation of a…

Therapeutic proteins and peptides (TPPs) are increasingly favoured above small drug molecules due to their high specificity to the site of action and reduced adverse effects resulting in increased use of these agents for medical treatments and therapies. Consequently, there is a need to formulate…

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are harmful by-products of thermal-processing of food. Betanin is an antioxidant with the potential to inhibit AGEs formation. In this work, we encapsulated betanin in chitosan-sodium tripolyphosphate coated quaternary ammonium-functionalized mesoporous silica…

Introduction Targeted delivery of drugs to the brain is a complicated activity. This complication is caused by the blood–brain barrier (BBB). Interestingly, there are various transporters on the surface of the BBB that are naturally used for the transportation of specific compounds. A practical…

Chronic wounds (resulting from underlying disease, metabolic disorders, infections, trauma, and even tumours) pose significant health problems. In this work, microparticles, based on polysaccharides (maltodextrin or dextran) and amino acids, and doped with antibacterial nanoparticles (CuO or ZnO…
