Andrographolide liquisolid using porous-starch as the adsorbent with enhanced oral bioavailability…
Andrographolide (AGL) is the major component of Andrographispaniculata. The poor water solubility and low dissolution strongly affect its oral absorption. Liquisolid technology has been used to improve its dissolution and oral bioavailability. Liquisolid powders of AGL (AGL-LS-PSG) were obtained by…

Amorphous Solid Dispersions (ASDs): The Influence of Material Properties, Manufacturing Processes…
Abstract
Poorly water-soluble drugs pose a significant challenge to developability due to poor oral absorption leading to poor bioavailability. Several approaches exist that improve the oral absorption of such compounds by enhancing the aqueous solubility and/or dissolution rate of the drug.…

On a highway to the brain: A review on nose-to-brain drug delivery using nanoparticles
The administration of drugs to the central nervous system (CNS) is primarily controlled by the blood-brain barrier (BBB), a structure that prevents the passage of foreign compounds from the blood to the brain's extracellular fluid. Although currently available treatments for brain diseases that…

Orally Administered Amphotericin B Nanoformulations: Physical Properties of Nanoparticle Carriers on…
Amphotericin B is an effective polyene antifungal considered as a “gold standard” in the management of fungal infections. Currently, it is administered mainly by IV due to poor aqueous solubility, which precludes its delivery orally. Paradoxically, IV administration is akin to side effects that have…
