Hybrid Nanobeads for Oral Indomethacin Delivery
The oral administration of the anti-inflammatory indomethacin (INDO) causes severe gastrointestinal side effects, which are intensified in chronic inflammatory conditions when a continuous treatment is mandatory. The development of hybrid delivery systems associates the benefits of different (nano)…

Nanocrystals as a master key to deliver hydrophobic drugs via multiple administration routes
The poor aqueous solubility of many approved drugs and most new chemical entities poses a challenge to drug delivery scientists working in academic and industrial labs. Despite the high pharmacological activity these drugs may have, their limited water solubility leads to poor absorption and…

Microneedle patch as a new platform to effectively deliver inactivated polio vaccine and inactivated…
We recently reported a lack of interference between inactivated rotavirus vaccine (IRV) and inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) and their potential dose sparing when the two vaccines were administered intramuscularly either in combination or standalone in rats and guinea pigs. In the present study,…

Multifunctional building elements for the construction of peptide drug conjugates
Engineering of smart building molecules is key basis in designing intelligent drug delivery systems. As an emerging sophisticated delivery system strategy, the powerful functions of peptide drug conjugates (PDCs) are attributed to a smart linker and multifunctional peptide domain. Peptides exhibit a…
