Polyethylene Glycol
Tailoring the release of drugs having different water solubility by hybrid polymer-lipid…
The aim of this study is to investigate the potential of hybrid polymer-lipid microparticles with a biphasic structure (b-MPs) as drug delivery system. Hybrid b-MPs of Compritol®888 ATO as main lipid constituent of the shell and polyethylene glycol 400 as core material were produced by an innovative…

Protein corona formation on lipidic nanocapsules: Influence of the interfacial PEG repartition
The parameters currently used for characterization of nanoparticles, such as size and zeta potential, were not able to reflect the performance of a nanocarrier in the biological environment. Therefore, more thorough in vitro characterization is required to predict their behavior in vivo, where…

In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation of Composite Oral Fast Disintegrating Film: An Innovative Strategy…
Here, we evaluate the feasibility of co-loading plain ranitidine hydrochloride (RHCl) and microencapsulated flurbiprofen (FBP) in a Lycoat® RS780-based oral fast disintegrating film (ODF). These films were developed by the solvent casting method to minimize the adverse effects of FBP and reduce the…

Development of Lipid Polymer Hybrid Drug Delivery Systems Prepared by Hot-Melt Extrusion
This study sought to develop polymer-lipid hybrid solid dispersions containing the poorly soluble drug lopinavir (LPV) by hot-melt extrusion (HME). Hence, the lipid and polymeric adjuvants were selected based on miscibility and compatibility studies. Film casting was used to assess the miscibility,…

Not the Usual Suspects: Alternative Surfactants for Biopharmaceuticals
Therapeutically relevant proteins naturally adsorb to interfaces, causing aggregation which in turn potentially leads to numerous adverse consequences such as loss of activity or unwanted immunogenic reactions. Surfactants are ubiquitously used in biotherapeutics drug development to oppose…

The impact of common pharmaceutical excipients on the gut microbiota
ABSTRACT
Introduction
Increasing attention is being afforded to understanding the bidirectional relationships that exist between oral medications and the gut microbiota, in an attempt to optimize pharmacokinetic performance and mitigate unwanted side effects. While a wealth of research has…
