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,…

The evaluation of the effect of different superdisintegrants on the drug release from FDM 3D printed…
Paracetamol-loaded tablets were printed by fused deposition modelling technique, using polyvinyl alcohol as a backbone polymer and Affinisol™ HPMC as a plasticizer in all formulations. Four different strategies were applied in order to accelerate the drug release from the tablets. First, different…

Fate of Tableted Freeze-Dried siRNA Lipoplexes in Gastrointestinal Environment
The incorporation of siRNA into nanocarriers is mandatory to facilitate its intracellular delivery, as siRNA itself cannot enter cells. However, the incorporation of these nanocarriers into oral, solid dosage forms and their fate in the gastrointestinal environment is yet to be explored. In the…

Deformation potential and tensile strength of tablets of a dry granulated formulation
The increase in solid fraction (SF) of a packed granule bed with pressure applied during the in-die compression process results in an evolution of the tablet's matrix and mechanical strength. In this case study, the tensile strength (TS) of a dry granulated microcrystalline cellulose (MCC)/mannitol…

Predicting Drug Release from 3D Printed Oral Medicines Based on the Surface Area to Volume Ratio of…
3D printing offers the advantage of being able to modify dosage form geometry, which can be exploited to modify release characteristics. In this study, we investigated the influence of the surface area to volume ratio (SA/V) to change and predict release profiles of 3D printed dosage forms.…
