Sulfobutylether-beta-cyclodextrin-enabled antiviral remdesivir: Characterization of electrospun- and…
Veklury™ by Gilead Sciences, Inc., containing antiviral drug, remdesivir (REM) has received emergency authorization in the USA and in Europe for COVID-19 therapy. Here, for the first time, we describe details of the non-covalent, host-guest type interaction between REM and the solubilizing…

Buccal Resveratrol Delivery System as a Potential New Concept for the Periodontitis Treatment
The health benefits of resveratrol have been proven to inhibit the development of numerous diseases. A frequent limitation in its use is a low bioavailability stemming from a poor solubility and fast enterohepatic metabolism. Thus, the aim of the research was to investigate the possibility to…

Impact of gastrointestinal tract variability on oral drug absorption and pharmacokinetics: an UNGAP…
The absorption of oral drugs is frequently plagued by significant variability with potentially serious therapeutic consequences. The source of variability can be traced back to interindividual variability in physiology, differences in special populations (age- and disease-dependent), drug and…

Enhancing in vitro cytotoxicity of doxorubicin against MCF-7 breast cancer cells in the presence of…
This study was aimed to evaluate the impact of water-soluble β-cyclodextrin polymer (β-CDP), as a nanocarrier, on the therapeutic efficacy of the commercial doxorubicin (DOX). The β-CDP was synthesized by cross-linking of β-CD using epichlorohydrin. The chemical structure of the cross-linked β-CDP…

In situ forming and mucoadhesive ophthalmic voriconazole/HPβCD hydrogels for the treatment of fungal…
Fungal keratitis is a severe infectious corneal disease. At present, no voriconazole ophthalmic formulations are approved by the FDA or EMA. This lack of therapeutic options leads to the reformulation of intravenous voriconazole preparations (VFEND®) by the hospital pharmacy departments to prepare…

Novel Drug Delivery Systems Fighting Glaucoma: Formulation Obstacles and Solutions
Glaucoma is considered to be one of the biggest health problems in the world. It is the main cause of preventable blindness due to its asymptomatic nature in the early stages on the one hand and patients’ non-adherence on the other. There are several approaches in glaucoma treatment, whereby this…

Investigation of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin inclusion complexation of two poorly soluble model…
The goal for any formulation design of poorly soluble drugs is to increase the solubility. However, increased solubility is a challenge when the drug is administered to the oral cavity as rapidly dispersing or mucoadhesive buccal films. Most drugs are bitter and increased solubility may correlate…

Pharmaceutical applications of aqueous scaled-up electrospinning
Thesis findings
A solid formulation of a model biopharmaceutical drug (β-galactosidase) was developed and produced by high-speed electrospinning for the first time. A fully aqueous polymeric solution was successfully electrospun with a 30 mL/h feeding rate, which is about 30x higher than the…
