Formulation design, production and characterisation of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) and…
Lipid nanoparticles have been widely investigated for their use as either carriers for poorly water soluble actives or as (Pickering) emulsion stabilisers. Recent studies have suggested that the fabrication of lipid nanostructures that can display both these performances concurrently, can enable the…

Mesoporous silica nanoparticles for pulmonary drug delivery
Over the last years, respiratory diseases represent a clinical concern, being included among the leading causes of death in the world due to the lack of effective lung therapies, mainly ascribed to the pulmonary barriers affecting the delivery of drugs to the lungs. In this way, nanomedicine has…

N-trimethyl chitosan coated nano-complexes enhance the oral bioavailability and chemotherapeutic…
N-trimethyl chitosan (TMC) is a multifunctional polymer that can be used in various nanoparticle forms in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and biomedical fields. In this study, TMC was used as a mucoadhesive adjuvant to enhance the oral bioavailability and hence antitumor effects of gemcitabine…

Development of Chitosan/Cyclodextrin Nanospheres for Levofloxacin Ocular Delivery
Levofloxacin (LVF) is an antibacterial drug approved for the treatment of ocular infections. However, due to the low ocular bioavailability, high doses are needed, causing bacterial resistance. Polymeric nanospheres (NPs) loading antibiotic drugs represent the most promising approach to eradicate…

Statistical design of experiment-based formulation development and optimization of 3D printed oral…
Purpose
Producing several controlled- release 3D printed tablets from polymer blends with the required target product profile has been a challenge. Thus, experimental design could be applied to rationally explore the impact of the formulation excipients on drug release.
Methods
The optimization…

Vitamin E-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate decorated drug delivery system with synergistic…
To overcome cancer drug resistance and to reverse tumor immunosuppression, a vitamin E-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate (TPGS) decorated polymer-based drug delivery system was developed. The effects of the drug delivery system on diverse proteins involved in cell apoptosis, cancer invasion,…

Controlled brimonidine release from nanostructured lipid carriers-laden silicone contact lens to…
A novel brimonidine-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers (Br-NLCs)-laden silicone contact lenses were designed for control ocular delivery of brimonidine for effective treatment of glaucoma. The Br-NLCs were found to be spherical in shape with an average size of 100–140 nm and a zeta potential of…

Kolliphor® HS 15-cyclodextrin Complex for the Delivery of Voriconazole: Preparation,…
Background: This study aimed to reduce the amount of sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin (SBECD) used in the marketed voriconazole injections to meet the clinical needs of patients with moderate-to-severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance rate <50 mL/min).
Objective: This study found that the…

Self-dispersing self-assembling systems for controlled oral delivery of gliclazide
Self-microemulsifying systems undergo self-dispersion to form microemulsion with subsequent self-assembly to form liquid crystalline (LC) and/or gel phases. These transitions modulate the release and absorption pattern of loaded drug. Accordingly, the primary objective was to evaluate these phases…
