Poloxamer: a simple and powerful solution for accelerating dissolution
Oral administration is the most commonly employed route for drug delivery. It is cost-effective and convenient for the patient, leading to high patient compliance. In order for the API to exert a physiological effect it must pass from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and into the systemic…

Andrographolide liquisolid using porous-starch as the adsorbent with enhanced oral bioavailability…
Andrographolide (AGL) is the major component of Andrographispaniculata. The poor water solubility and low dissolution strongly affect its oral absorption. Liquisolid technology has been used to improve its dissolution and oral bioavailability. Liquisolid powders of AGL (AGL-LS-PSG) were obtained by…

A mucoadhesive patch loaded with freeze-dried liposomes for the local treatment of oral tumors
Oral cancers affect millions of people globally, with increasing incidences among adults aged 35 and above. Poor drug uptake by lesions in the oral cavity following systemic administration, as well as limited localized treatment modalities for oral tumors, result in poor patient quality of life and…

LipMetE (Lipophilic Metabolism Efficiency) as a Simple Guide for Half-Life and Dosing Regimen…
The in vivo half-life is a key property of every drug molecule, as it determines dosing regimens, peak-to-trough ratios and often dose. However, half-life optimization can be challenging due to its multifactorial nature, with in vitro metabolic turnover, plasma protein binding and volume of…
