Impact of Formulation on the Quality and Stability of Freeze-dried Nanoparticles
Freeze-drying is an effective approach to improve the long-term stability of nanomedicines. Lyoprotectants are generally considered as requisite excipients to ensure that the quality of nanoparticles is maintained throughout the freeze-drying process. However, depending on the type of nanoparticles,…

Combination of lipid nanoparticles and iontophoresis for enhanced lopinavir skin permeation: Impact…
Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC)-loaded with lopinavir (LPV) were developed for its iontophoretic transdermal delivery. Electronic paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy of fatty acid spin labels and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were applied to investigate the lipid dynamic behavior…

An oral lipidic native testosterone formulation that is absorbed independent of food
Context
There is no licensed oral native testosterone (NT) because of challenges in the formulation. Licensed oral formulations of the ester, testosterone undecanoate (TU), require a meal for absorption and generate supraphysiological dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels.
Objective
To develop…
