Bioavailability enhancement
Enhanced in vivo absorption and biodistribution of curcumin loaded into emulsions with high…
The health benefits of curcumin have been demonstrated by clinical studies, but its low bioavailability compromises its functionality. In this regard, emulsions have proven to be effective encapsulation systems for curcumin. Nevertheless, emulsions with a high oil content (50%) may offer some…

Nanosuspensions as carriers of active ingredients: Chemical composition, development methods, and…
Nanosuspensions (NSps) are colloidal dispersions of particles that have the potential to solve the delivery problems of active ingredients associated with their low solubility in water or instability due to environmental factors. It is essential to consider their chemical composition and preparation…

Systems Biology and Peptide Engineering to Overcome Absorption Barriers for Oral Peptide Delivery:…
Abstract
Oral delivery of peptides and biological molecules promises significant benefits to patients as an alternative to daily injections, but the development of these formulations is challenging due to their low bioavailability and high pharmacokinetic variability. Our earlier work focused on…

Boosting systemic absorption of peptides with a bioinspired buccal-stretching patch
Biopharmaceuticals, including proteins and peptides, have revolutionized the treatment of a wide range of diseases, from diabetes and cardiovascular disorders to virus infections and cancer. Despite their efficacy, most of these macromolecular drugs require parenteral administration because of their…

Impact of Hypromellose acetate succinate and Soluplus® on the performance of β-carotene solid…
Solid dispersions (SDs) possess the potential to enhance the bioavailability of insoluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) by effectively converting them into amorphous state. However, SDs have a tendency to recrystallize unless appropriate excipients are employed. The objective of this…
