Mechanically promoted lipid-based filaments via composition tuning for extrusion-based 3D-printing
Abstract
Lipid excipients are favorable materials in pharmaceutical formulations owing to their natural, biodegradable, low-toxic and solubility/permeability enhancing properties. The application of these materials with advanced manufacturing platforms, particularly filament-based 3D-printing, is…

Lipid-based formulations: A promising approach for poorly soluble drug delivery via the intestinal…
Abstract
Lipid-based formulation (LBF) has attracted more and more attention as it can significantly improve the efficiency of oral delivery of poorly soluble drugs by exploiting the specific absorption pathway of lipids in the intestinal lymphatic system. Based on the structure and function of…

Design and Evaluation of Hydrophobic Ion Paired Insulin Loaded Self Micro-Emulsifying Drug Delivery…
Despite several novel and innovative approaches, clinical translation of oral insulin delivery into commercially viable treatment is still challenging due to its poor absorption and rapid degradation in GIT. Thus, an insulin-SDS hydrophobic ion pair loaded self-microemulsifying drug delivery system…

Development of Lipid Polymer Hybrid Drug Delivery Systems Prepared by Hot-Melt Extrusion
This study sought to develop polymer-lipid hybrid solid dispersions containing the poorly soluble drug lopinavir (LPV) by hot-melt extrusion (HME). Hence, the lipid and polymeric adjuvants were selected based on miscibility and compatibility studies. Film casting was used to assess the miscibility,…

Exploring the use of modified in vitro digestion assays for the evaluation of ritonavir loaded solid…
Solid lipid-based formulations (sLBFs) have the potential to increase the oral bioavailability of drugs with poor solubility in water, while counteracting some of the disadvantages of liquid LBFs. The most common experimental set-up to study the performance of LBFs in vitro is the lipolysis assay,…

Leveraging the use of in vitro and computational methods to support the development of enabling oral…
Abstract
Due to the strong tendency towards poorly soluble drugs in modern development pipelines, enabling drug formulations such as amorphous solid dispersions, cyclodextrins, co-crystals and lipid-based formulations are frequently applied to solubilize or generate supersaturation in…

A study of microemulsion systems for transdermal delivery of risperidone using penetration enhancers
Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop and characterize microemulsion formulations using penetration enhancers as potential transdermal delivery systems for risperidone. Initially, a simple formulation of risperidone in Propylene Glycol (PG) was prepared as a control formulation, together…
