Systems Biology and Peptide Engineering to Overcome Absorption Barriers for Oral Peptide Delivery:…
Abstract
Oral delivery of peptides and biological molecules promises significant benefits to patients as an alternative to daily injections, but the development of these formulations is challenging due to their low bioavailability and high pharmacokinetic variability. Our earlier work focused on…

Development and Optimization of a Novel Lozenge Containing a Metronidazole-Peppermint Oil-Tranexamic…
In-depth studies on essential oil–based nanoemulsions (NEs) have centered on a variety of oral health issues. NEs improve the delivery of nonpolar active agents to sites and thereby boost the dissolution and distribution of the agents. Metronidazole-peppermint oil-tranexamic acid…

Application of the Gradient boosted tree approach for thin film classification based on…
Introduction
Thin films are polymeric strips that disintegrate in the oral cavity and consist of a film-forming agent and an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). Generally, thin films disintegrate within seconds, but their composition can be modified to allow slower disintegration and release of…

Effects of Granulated Lactose Characteristics and Lubricant Blending Conditions on Tablet Physical…
Abstract
Lactose is an excipient used extensively for bulking, diluting, and molding active pharmaceutical ingredients in tablet manufacturing. Particularly, granulated lactose (GL) intended for direct powder compression has distinct properties due to differences in manufacturing methods. It…
