Emulsifier

Introduction Preparation of self-microemulsifying drug delivery systems (SMEDDS) is a promising delivery approach for drugs with poor aqueous solubility to enhance their dissolution properties and hence oral bioavailability. The objective of the present study was to define the influence of the oily…

Diacerein (DCN) is the class II rhein derivative with low oral bioavailability, although it has good anti-osteoarthritic action. Because of the potential to induce adverse effects when taken orally, the current study focused on producing a topical nanoemulgel formulation based on the 32 Box-Behnken…

The aim of this study was to develop a new drug nanocrystals self-stabilized Pickering emulsion (NSSPE) for improving oral bioavailability of quercetin (QT). Quercetin nanocrystal (QT–NC) was fabricated by high pressure homogenization method, and QT–NSSPE was then prepared by ultrasound method with…
