Enhanced Oral Bioavailability of Felodipine from Solid Lipid Nanoparticles Prepared Through…
Felodipine (FLD), a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker with excellent antihypertensive effect, is poorly soluble and undergoes extensive hepatic metabolism, which lead to poor oral bioavailability (about 15%) and limit its clinic application. The goal of this study was to develop solid lipid…

Effect of common excipients on intestinal drug absorption in Wistar rats
The aim of the present paper is to study the effect of common excipients on the permeability of atenolol (as drug absorbed mainly by passive diffusion) and rhodamine (as P-Glycoprotein substrate). Apparent permeability was measured by in situ perfusion method in Wistar rats using the Closed loop…

Temperature: an overlooked factor in tablet disintegration
Disintegration is the first event in the bioavailability cascade after the ingestion of immediate release tablets. Although the influence of various physico-chemical parameters of media on tablet disintegration has been investigated in depth, the role of temperature has received much less attention.…

In-line temperature measurement to improve the understanding of the wetting phase in twin-screw wet…
Wetting is the initial stage of wet granulation processes during which the first contact between the powder and the liquid occurs. Wetting is a critical step to allow granule growth and consolidation, but also to ensure uniform active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) distribution over all granule…
