The Use of Polymer Blends in the Treatment of Ocular Diseases
The eye is an organ with limited drug access due to its anatomical and physiological barriers, and the usual forms of ocular administration are limited in terms of drug penetration, residence time, and bioavailability, as well as low patient compliance. Hence, therapeutic innovations in new drug…

Based on functional materials and PLGA for the florfenicol controlled release system and its…
It is widely used PLGA in synthesizing active drug nanoparticles due to its high biocompatibility, biodegradability, and pelletization. In this study with PLGA as the carrier, the florfenicol nanoparticles (FF-PLGA NPs) were investigated to improve water solubility and controlled drug release for…

Different trends for preparation of budesonide pellets with enhanced dissolution rate
The current research attempts different approaches to overcome the poor dissolution of budesonide (a poorly water-soluble drug) from pellet formulations. Various methods such as liqui-pellet (LP) and pellets made of solid dispersion (SDP) were employed and compared to conventional pellets (CP). In…

Acetaminophen Synthesis and Encapsulation using Safe Mixed-Solvents and Solution Enhanced Dispersion…
Acetaminophen (ACMP) was synthesized in mixed-solvents (H2O-acetone, H2O-dimethyl sulfoxide, H2O-isopropyl alcohol) for purposes of eliminating hazardous dipolar aprotic solvents. The H2O-acetone solvent-pair gave synthesized ACMP yields of 79.2%. Synthesized ACMP samples were encapsulated using…
