Among all types of cancer encountered in women, breast cancer is the most prevalent, with the highest mortality rate. An increased survival rate is closely related to early diagnosis, the use of high performing screening methods and of…

As a result of its ability to target certain drugs and/or peptides to the colonic region for the treatment of several diseases while avoiding systemic absorption and potential side effects, colon drug delivery has become a field of research…

Graphene oxide (GO) is an amphiphilic, high surface area material with great potential as a functional excipient in drug delivery. The present study aimed at incorporating GO in buccal polyelectrolyte films for delivery of antifungal drugs…

Methyl ester derivatives of alginic acid have been evaluated as potential multifunctional excipients for pharmaceutical direct compression. The use of alginic acid as an excipient in tablet formulation is limited because of certain…

Nanoprecipitation technique, also named solvent injection, spontaneous emulsification, solvent displacement, solvent diffusion, interfacial deposition, mixing-induced nanoprecipitation, or flash nanoprecipitation, is recognized as a useful…

Multi-particulate Dome matrix with sustained-release melatonin and delayed-release caffeine was designed to restore jet lag sleep-wake cycle. The polymeric pellets were produced using extrusion-spheronization technique and fluid-bed coated…

Many drugs belong to BCS class-2 having poor solubility in water requires enhancement in solubility and dissolution rate for increasing its oral bioavailability; however, in many cases, immediate onset of action is required than…

Edible polymers refer to the polymeric materials which can be consumed by human beings, animals or microorganisms without any noxious effects towards health. They are categorized into polysaccharides, proteins and lipids, and have gained…

The extensive use of oral dosage forms for the treatment of diseases may be linked to deficient pharmacokinetic properties. In some cases the drug is barely soluble; in others, the rapid transit of the formulation through the…

Oral delivery of protein and peptide drugs faces immense challenges, partially due to the inherent unfavourable characteristics of the molecules and partially due to the unfavourable gastrointestinal environment. These barriers to oral…
