Optimization and evaluation of resveratrol amorphous solid dispersions with a novel polymeric system
The preparation of amorphous solid dispersions using polymers is a commonly used formulation strategy for enhancing the solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs. However, a single polymer often does not bring significantly enhance the solubility or amorphous stability of a poorly water-soluble drug.…

An insight into gastrointestinal macromolecule delivery using physical oral devices
Oral delivery is preferred over other routes of drug administration by both patients and physicians. The bioavailability of some therapeutics that are delivered via the oral route is restricted due to the protease- and bacteria-rich environment in the gastrointestinal tract, and by the pH…

Formulation Development and Optimization of Bioenhanced Sublingual Tablets of Rizatriptan Benzoate…
The drugs belonging to BCS class III, create various challenges for the development of sublingual dosage form due to poor absorption through sublingual mucosa. The sublingual drug delivery is suitable for potent drugs only and prevents the firstpass metabolism of drugs, leading to its direct…

Solubility Enhancement of Ibuprofen by Adsorption onto Spherical Porous Calcium Silicate
The solubility of a drug is higher when it is in an amorphous form than when it is in a crystalline form. To enhance the solubility of ibuprofen (IBU), a poorly water-soluble drug, we attempted to adsorb IBU onto spherical porous calcium silicate (Florite® PS300, PS300) in two ways: the evaporation…

Strategies and Mechanism in Reversing Intestinal Drug Efflux in Oral Drug Delivery
Efflux transporters distributed at the apical side of human intestinal epithelial cells actively transport drugs from the enterocytes to the intestinal lumen, which could lead to extremely poor absorption of drugs by oral administration. Typical intestinal efflux transporters involved in oral drug…

Route-Specific Challenges in the Delivery of Poorly Water-Soluble Drugs
Poor aqueous solubility of new chemical entities presents various challenges in the development of effective drug delivery systems for various delivery routes. Poorly soluble drugs that are delivered orally may commonly result in low bioavailability and are often subject to considerable food…

Nanoemulgel: For Promising Topical and Systemic Delivery
Nanoemulgel delivery system is a fusion of two different delivery systems, wherein the physical state of drug containing nanoemulsion is changed by adding it to the gel matrix, thus enabling more lipophilic drugs to be used in treatment therapies. It solves the major issues such as limiting use of…

Systematic Development of Solid Lipid Nanoparticles of Abiraterone Acetate with Improved Oral…
In the present work, an attempt was undertaken to improve the oral bioavailability and anticancer activity of abiraterone acetate. Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) were developed using the quality by design (QbD) principles and evaluated through in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo studies. Solid lipid…
