Emulgel Approach to Formulation Development: A Review
Topical drug delivery is the delivery of drugs anywhere in the body through skin, vaginal, ophthalmic and rectal routes. Drugs may be given for localized or systemic effects. Topical formulations with varying physicochemical properties, such as solid, semisolid, or liquid, can be developed. The…

Emulsion-electrospun polyvinyl alcohol nanofibers as a solid dispersion system to improve solubility…
We attempted to improve the solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs by preparing drug-loaded polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofibers as a solid dispersion system via emulsion electrospinning. Probucol (PBC), a poorly water-soluble drug, was used as a model drug. Nanofibers were electrospun using an…

Development and Pharmacokinetic Evaluation of a Self-Nanoemulsifying Drug Delivery System for the…
The number of lipophilic drug candidates in pharmaceutical discovery pipelines has increased in recent years. These drugs often possess physicochemical properties that result in poor oral bioavailability, and their clinical potential may be limited without adequate formulation strategies.…

Lipid-microparticles for pulmonary delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients: Impact of lipid…
Spray-drying is an extensively used technology for engineering inhalable particles. Important technical hurdles are however experienced when lipid-based excipients (LBEs) are spray-dried. Stickiness, extensive wall deposition, or simply inability to yield a solid product have been associated to the…

Development of Piperine-Loaded Solid Self-Nanoemulsifying Drug Delivery System: Optimization,…
Hypertension is a cardiovascular disease that needs long-term medication. Oral delivery is the most common route for the administration of drugs. The present research is to develop piperine self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (PE-SNEDDS) using glyceryl monolinoleate (GML), poloxamer 188, and…

A comparison of emulsifiers for the formation of oil-in-water emulsions: stability of the emulsions…
Objective
To provide a basis for the selection of suitable emulsifiers in oil-in-water emulsions used as tissue analogs for MRI experiments. Three different emulsifiers were investigated with regard to their ability to stabilize tissue-like oil-in-water emulsions. Furthermore, MR signal properties…

Development of Self-Microemulsifying Drug Delivery System to Improve Nisoldipine Bioavailability:…
The authors attempted to fabricate a novel lipid-based formulation of a lipophilic drug, nisoldipine (NISO). As NISO belongs to BCS class 2 drug, it suffers from low bioavailability (5%). Hence, the research was intended to ameliorate oral bioavailability of NISO via intestinal lymphatic transport.…

In-vitro and in-vivo evaluation of taste-masked ibuprofen formulated in oral dry emulsions
Objective
The aim of this study was to develop a paediatric oral preparation for ibuprofen.
Significance
Ibuprofen is widely used for defervescence in children, but medication compliance is poor due to its bitter taste. Dry emulsions possess good stability and can be transported and stored…

Preparation and Evaluation of Self-emulsifying Drug Delivery System (SEDDS) of Cepharanthine
The aim of this article was to design a self-emulsifying drug delivery system (SEDDS) of loaded cepharanthine (CEP) to improve the oral bioavailability in rats. Based on the solubility determination and pseudo-ternary phase diagram, isopropyl palmitate (IPP) was chosen as the oil phase. Meanwhile,…
