HPMC – Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose
Co-release of paclitaxel and encequidar from amorphous solid dispersions increase oral paclitaxel…
The oral bioavailability of paclitaxel is limited due to low solubility and high affinity for the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) efflux transporter. Here we hypothesized that maximizing the intestinal paclitaxel levels through apparent solubility enhancement and controlling the simultaneous release of both…

Studying the API Distribution of Controlled Release Formulations Produced via Continuous Twin-Screw…
Abstract
Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) is a preferred hydrophilic matrix former for controlled release formulations produced through continuous twin-screw wet granulation. However, a non-homogeneous API distribution over sieve fractions with underdosing in the fines fraction (<150 µm) was…

Optimization of Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) and Carbopol 940 in Clindamycin HCl Ethosomal…
Clindamycin HCl has anti-acne properties because it can inhibit the growth of Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) bacteria. However, the bioavailability of clindamycin HCl is less than 13% of the given dose, so it needs to be developed in the form of ethosomes to increase its bioavailability. This…

Fabrication and Optimization of Directly Compressible Self-Emulsifying Tablets Containing Cannabis…
Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol, which are present in cannabis extract, exhibit low bioavailability when administered orally due to significant first-pass metabolism. The use of a self-emulsifying drug delivery system (SEDDS) can enhance their dissolution and bioavailability. However, liquid…
