Drug Delivery
Non-invasive drug delivery systems mediated by nanocarriers and molecular dynamics simulation for…
Local deliver medication in a non-invasive pattern and attaining a long-term sustained release at ocular regions to minimize side effects is fascinating for treatment and precision medicine, but its rational design remains a challenge. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of different…

On-demand delivery of protein drug from 3D-printed implants
Here, we constructed 3D-printed multiunit implants to enable remote light-controlled protein drug delivery in a spatiotemporal manner. Multiunit implants were designed to be 3D printed using polycaprolactone, lauric acid, and melanin as a matrix, and a polycaprolactone scaffold as a multiunit…

Cyclodextrin Inclusion Complexes with Antibiotics and Antibacterial Agents as Drug-Delivery…
Cyclodextrins (CDs) are a family of cyclic oligosaccharides, consisting of a macrocyclic ring of glucose subunits linked by α-1,4 glycosidic bonds. The shape of CD molecules is similar to a truncated cone with a hydrophobic inner cavity and a hydrophilic surface, which allows the formation of…

Ionic liquids in transdermal drug delivery system: Current applications and future perspectives
The transdermal drug delivery (TDD) shows considerable advantages over other administration pathways. However, conventional enhancing permeation methods face a series of challenges owing to barrier function provided by the skin, of which enhancing abilities either are so strong that it results in…

Polymer Coated Polymeric (PCP) Microneedles for Controlled Delivery of Drugs (Dermal and…
Microneedles are used to deliver drugs topically across the skin and mucous membranes. Dissolvable microneedles are made using soluble polymers, which disintegrates in the tissue and release the entire payload instantaneously including the polymer construct. Often, a slow release of drug into the…

Incorporation of phosphatidylserine improves efficiency of lipid based gene delivery systems
The essential homeostatic process of dead cell clearance (efferocytosis) is used by viruses in an act of apoptotic mimicry. Among others, virions leverage phosphatidylserine (PS) as an essential “eat me” signal in viral envelopes to increase their infectivity. In a virus-inspired biomimetic…

Aldehyde-functional thermoresponsive diblock copolymer worm gels exhibit strong mucoadhesion
A series of thermoresponsive diblock copolymer worm gels is prepared via reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) aqueous dispersion polymerization of 2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate using a water-soluble methacrylic precursor bearing pendent cis-diol groups. Selective oxidation using an…

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…

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…

Polymer selection to increase in vitro supersaturation generated by lamotrigine nicotinamide…
Cocrystals can improve drug dissolution by generating supersaturated drug delivery systems. However, supersaturation is a high-energetic state with a tendency to precipitate. Polymers are used as precipitation inhibitors to inhibit nucleation or crystal growth. Our aim was to evaluate the influence…
