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…

FLQY2 is a camptothecin derivative modified by FL118 and proved to be good antitumor activity in vitro. However, its poor solubility leads to the low therapeutic efficacy in vivo. Here, the injectable FLQY2 lyophilized powder was prepared with Kolliphor® HS 15 (HS 15), which was called HS 15-FLQY2.…
