Breaking the ocular barrier through nano-lipid carriers to treat intraocular diseases
Abstract
The human eye is a special organ. Its defense mechanisms protect it from invading microbes and harmful molecules. Treatment of different eye diseases often shows poor results due to the presence of these barriers. Nano lipid carriers have the capability to overcome these anatomical and…

Drug delivery systems for thyroid disease treatment: A mini review on current therapies and…
Thyroid hormones play an important role in many metabolic processes in the human body. However, these processes can often be disrupted by an over or underactivity of the thyroid gland which, if undiagnosed or untreated, can result in serious illness. Currently, therapeutic management of an…

Developing a robust in vitro release method for a polymeric nanoparticle: Challenges and learnings
Nanomedicines have emerged as a promising approach for targeted therapeutic delivery and specifically as a beneficial alternative to conventional cancer therapies as they can deliver higher concentrations of chemotherapeutic agents at the tumour site compared to healthy tissue, thus providing…

In Silico Screening as a Tool to Prepare Drug-Drug Cocrystals of Ibrutinib-Ketoconazole: a Strategy…
Ibrutinib (IBR) is a biopharmaceutical classification system (BCS) class II drug and an irreversible Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor. IBR has an extremely low oral bioavailability due to the activity of the CYP3A4 enzyme. The current intention of the research was to enhance solubility…

The balance of physical stability and drug release in ternary fenofibrate/HPC/Eudragit L100-55…
Introduction
Amorphous solid dispersions are state-of the art enabling technique for poorly water soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). In an ASD, the API is molecularly dissolved in a suitable polymer matrix that stabilizes the amorphous state during storage against recrystallization…

Intraoral Drug Delivery: Highly Thiolated κ-Carrageenan as Mucoadhesive Excipient
Aim: This study aims to design a novel thiolated κ-carrageenan (κ-CA-SH) and evaluate its potential as an excipient for the design of mucoadhesive drug delivery systems.
Methods: Native κ-carrageenan (κ-CA) was thiolated with phosphorous pentasulfide in sulfolane and characterized via 1H NMR,…

Strategy of eudragit coated curcumin nanoparticles delivery system: Release and cell imaging studies…
Abstract
Curcumin has a broad-spectrum anti-tumor effect and has no toxic side effects. However, the unique diketone structure of curcumin will undergo diketo-enol tautomerism under different acid-base conditions, resulting in its instability under physiological conditions. In addition, the low…
