Low drug load, high retention mometasone furoate cream with polyglyceryl − 3 oleate as a chemical enhancer: Formulation development, in vivo and in vitro evaluation and molecular mechanisms

Abstract The study aimed to create a low loading, high retention, easier to apply O/W mometasone furoate (MF) cream using a chemical enhancer (CE) approach to provide more options for patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) and to investigate molecular mechanisms of its increased release and retention. A Box-Behnken design determined the optimal…

Excipient Variability: A Fuss or a Big Deal?

19. October 2015 BY AJIT S. NARANG, MIKE TOBYN, AND ROBERT A. REED Excipient variability has been studied in areas such as particle characteristics, cross-linking, or reactive impurities with the goals of (a) identifying…

Excipient variability: A very big deal sometimes

09. October 2015 "Making mini-formulations of excipients in the lab and assessing their processability and stability cannot capture the full potential for variability. It’s better to map an API’s…
