Design, development, in-vitro and in-vivo evaluation of polylactic acid-based multifunctional…
Impaired healing of diabetic ulcers is one of the major complications of diabetic patients due to high susceptibility to microbial infections, impaired lymphianogenesis, edema, and consequently impairing proper healing. This could even lead to much worse complications that include severe gangrene,…

Formulation of novel niosomal repaglinide chewable tablets using coprocessed excipients: in vitro…
Repaglinide (RPG), a monotherapy insulin secretagogue used to treat diabetes mellitus-type II yet, it suffers from poor water solubility and variable bioavailability (∼ 50%) due to hepatic first pass metabolism. In this study, 2FI I-Optimal statistical design was employed to encapsulate RPG into…

Insulin-loaded liposomes packaged in alginate hydrogels promote the oral bioavailability of insulin
Compared to subcutaneous injections, oral administration of insulin would be a preferred route of drug administration for diabetic patients. For oral delivery, both liposomes and alginate hydrogels face many challenges, including early burst release of the encapsulated drug and poor intestinal drug…

Emulsification by vitamin E TPGS or Quillaja extract enhanced absorption of berberine without…
Berberine is widely used for the prevention of cancers and diabetes. However, the absorption rate of berberine is less than 1% in humans. The objective of this research was to determine whether emulsification improves the absorption and affects the metabolism of orally ingested berberine. Twelve…

Solid lipid nanoparticles: a promising tool for insulin delivery
Introduction
Insulin plays a critical role in metabolism modulation including carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism. There is room to improve insulin delivery but optimizing the best carrier remains challenging. Traditional and conventional approaches for insulin delivery do not emulate the…

The clinical and translational prospects of microneedle devices, with a focus on insulin therapy for…
Abstract
Microneedles have the clinical advantage of being able to deliver complex drugs across the skin in a convenient and comfortable manner yet haven’t successfully transitioned to medical practice. Diabetes mellitus is a complicated disease, which is commonly treated with multiple daily…

Oral administration of zein-based nanoparticles reduces glycemia and improves glucose tolerance in…
The aim was to evaluate the effect of zein-based nanoparticles on the glucose homeostasis, following oral administration to Wistar rats. For this purpose, bare nanoparticles (NP, with tropism for the upper intestinal regions) and poly(ethylene glycol)-coated nanoparticles (NP-PEG), with the…

Progress in oral insulin delivery by PLGA nanoparticles for the management of diabetes
Currently, the only practical way to treat type 1 and advanced insulin-dependent type 2 diabetes mellitus (T1/2DM) is the frequent subcutaneous injection of insulin, which is significantly different physiologically from endogenous insulin secretion from pancreatic islets and can lead to…
