Biorelevant dissolution testing and physiologically based absorption modeling to predict in vivo…
Supersaturating drug delivery systems (SDDS) enhance the oral absorption of poorly water-soluble drugs by achieving a supersaturated state in the gastrointestinal tract. The maintenance of a supersaturated state is decided by the complex interplay among inherent properties of drug, excipients and…

Formulation design, production and characterisation of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) and…
Lipid nanoparticles have been widely investigated for their use as either carriers for poorly water soluble actives or as (Pickering) emulsion stabilisers. Recent studies have suggested that the fabrication of lipid nanostructures that can display both these performances concurrently, can enable the…

An in vitro approach to study the absorption of a new oral formulation of berberine
Background
Berberine (BBR) possesses several biological activities in humans, but the poor water solubility and low oral bioavailability preclude its pharmacological use. To overcome these limitations, several formulations have been prepared including encapsulation, micro- and nano-emulsion. The…

Mesoporous silica nanoparticles for pulmonary drug delivery
Over the last years, respiratory diseases represent a clinical concern, being included among the leading causes of death in the world due to the lack of effective lung therapies, mainly ascribed to the pulmonary barriers affecting the delivery of drugs to the lungs. In this way, nanomedicine has…

Development of mushroom polysaccharide and probiotics based solid self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery…
The role of mushroom polysaccharides and probiotics as pharmaceutical excipients for development of nanocarriers has never been explored. In the present study an attempt has been made to explore Ganoderma lucidum extract powder (GLEP) containing polysaccharides and probiotics to convert liquid self…

Inclusion of Medium-Chain Triglyceride in Lipid-Based Formulation of Cannabidiol Facilitates…
Oral sesame oil-based formulation facilitates the delivery of poorly water-soluble drug cannabidiol (CBD) to the lymphatic system and blood circulation. However, this natural oil-based formulation also leads to considerable variability in absorption of CBD. In this work, the performance of…

Solid self Nano-Emulsifying system for the enhancement of dissolution and bioavailability of…
Prasugrel Hydrochloride (PHCl) is an antiplatelet drug. It is a class II drug with variable bioavailability. The objective of this work was to enhance the solubility and hence the bioavailability and efficacy of PHCl. A Self Nano-Emulsifying Drug Delivery System (SNEDDS) was prepared using Kolliphor…

Comparison of Three Different Aqueous Microenvironments for Enhancing Oral Bioavailability of…
Background: The purpose of this study was to screen various drug delivery systems for improving the aqueous solubility and oral bioavailability of sildenafil. Three representative techniques, solid self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (SNEDDS), amorphous microspheres and crystalline…

Lipid-based formulations of microemulsion-loaded oleogels for the oral delivery of carvedilol
This work aimed to develop controlled-release lipid-based formulations of microemulsion-loaded oleogels for the oral delivery of the poorly soluble drug carvedilol (CARV). The microemulsion-loaded oleogels were prepared by the oleogelator Compritol® 888 (CP888). CARV was loaded into submicron-sized…

Controlled brimonidine release from nanostructured lipid carriers-laden silicone contact lens to…
A novel brimonidine-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers (Br-NLCs)-laden silicone contact lenses were designed for control ocular delivery of brimonidine for effective treatment of glaucoma. The Br-NLCs were found to be spherical in shape with an average size of 100–140 nm and a zeta potential of…
