Hot Melt Extruded Posaconazole-Based Amorphous Solid Dispersions—The Effect of Different Types of…
Four model polymers, representing (i) amorphous homopolymers (Kollidon K30, K30), (ii) amorphous heteropolymers (Kollidon VA64, KVA), (iii) semi-crystalline homopolymers (Parteck MXP, PXP), and (iv) semi-crystalline heteropolymers (Kollicoat IR, KIR), were examined for their effectiveness in…

Mucoadhesive drug delivery systems: a promising noninvasive approach to bioavailability enhancement.…
Abstract
Introduction
Mucoadhesive drug delivery systems (MDDS) are specifically designed to interact and bind to the mucosal layer of the epithelium for localized, prolonged, and/or targeted drug delivery. Over the past 4 decades, several dosage forms have been developed for localized as…

Micro-Scale Vacuum Compression Molding as a Predictive Screening Tool of Protein Integrity for…
Hot-melt extrusion (HME) is used for the production of solid protein formulations mainly for two reasons: increased protein stability in solid state and/or long-term release systems (e.g., protein-loaded implants). However, HME requires considerable amounts of material even at small-scale (>2 g…

Intranasal Delivery of a Silymarin Loaded Microemulsion for the Effective Treatment of Parkinson’s…
A mucoadhesive microemulsion of lipophilic silymarin (SLMMME) was developed to treat Parkinson’s disease (PD). Optimization of the SLM microemulsion (ME) was performed using Central Composite Design (CCD). The composition of oil, surfactant, co-surfactant, and water was varied, as per the design, to…

Recent advances in long-acting drug delivery systems for anticancer drug
The use of systemic anticancer chemotherapy is intrinsically limited by its toxicity. Whether dealing with small molecules or biopharmaceuticals, after systemic administration, small doses fail to reach effective intratumoral concentrations, while high doses with significant tumor inhibition effects…

Research progress of ophthalmic preparations of immunosuppressants
Immune ophthalmopathy is a collection of autoimmune eye diseases. Immunosuppressants are drugs that can inhibit the body’s immune response. Considering drug side effects such as hepatorenal toxicity and the unique structure of the eye, incorporating immunosuppressants into ophthalmic nanodrug…

Simultaneous fabrication of multiple tablets within seconds using tomographic volumetric 3D printing
3D printing is driving a shift in patient care away from a generalised model and towards personalised treatments. To complement fast-paced clinical environments, 3D printing technologies must provide sufficiently high throughputs for them to be feasibly implemented. Volumetric printing is an…

The Use of Calcium Phosphate-Based Starter Pellets for the Preparation of Sprinkle IR MUPS…
Sprinkle formulations represent an interesting concept of medicinal products aimed at the steadily growing population of patients suffering from swallowing difficulties (dysphagia). In the present work, immediate-release sprinkle MUPS (multiple-unit pellet system) containing rosuvastatin calcium as…
