Self-nano Emulsifying Formulations: An Encouraging Approach for Bioavailability Enhancement and…
Abstract
Currently lipid-based formulations are playing a vital and promising role in improving the oral bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs. Lipid based formulations mainly consist of a drug dissolved in lipids such as triglycerides, glycerides, oils and surface active agent.…

5-Fluorouracil crystal-incorporated, pH-responsive, and release-modulating PLGA/Eudragit FS hybrid…
5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent for colorectal cancer (CRC) owing to its potent anticancer effects. However, severe systemic side effects and poor drug accumulation in the CRC tissues limit its efficacy. This study aimed to develop 5-FU crystal-incorporated,…

SEDEX—Self-Emulsifying Delivery Via Hot Melt Extrusion: A Continuous Pilot-Scale Feasibility Study
The aim of this study was to develop a continuous pilot-scale solidification and characterization of self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDSs) via hot melt extrusion (HME) using Soluplus® and Kollidon® VA-64. First, an oil-binding capacity study was performed to estimate the maximal amount of…

α-Cyclodextrin-based poly(pseudo)rotaxane for antifungal drug delivery to the vaginal mucosa
This work aimed to evaluate poly(pseudo)rotaxanes (PPRs) potential for vaginal antifungal delivery. For this, PPRs containing terbinafine (TB) 2 % were obtained using two small surfactants, Kolliphor® RH40 and Gelucire® 48/16, and different α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) concentrations (5 and 10 %). PPRs…

Design, Formulation, and Characterization of Valsartan Nanoethosomes for Improving Their…
The objective of this study was to formulate and evaluate valsartan (VLT) ethosomes to prepare an optimized formula of VLT-entrapped ethosomes that could be incorporated into a sustained release transdermal gel dosage form. The formulation of the prepared ethosomal gel was investigated and subjected…

Oral Disintegrating Tablets – see the solution landscape
Introduction
Oral disintegrating tablets (ODTs) are patient-centric drug delivery systems (for example, for pediatrics, geriatrics, and psychiatric patients with dysphagia) designed to increase patient compliance. ODTs are preferred to classic dosage forms (swallowable / chewable / suckable…
