Development of solid lipid microparticles (SLMs) containing asiatic acid for topical treatment of…
Solid lipid microparticles (SLMs) represent a promising approach for drug delivery in anti-acne applications. In this study, asiatic acid-loaded SLMs (AASLMs) were prepared by melt emulsification method in conjunction with freeze-drying. Comprehensive evaluations comprised particle size, %entrapment…

Overcoming the Low-Stability Bottleneck in the Clinical Translation of Liposomal Pressurized…
Abstract
Currently, several types of inhalable liposomes have been developed. Among them, liposomal pressurized metered-dose inhalers (pMDIs) have gained much attention due to their cost-effectiveness, patient compliance, and accurate dosages. However, the clinical application of liposomal pMDIs…

Supersaturable diacyl phospholipid dispersion for improving oral bioavailability of brick dust…
This study aims to investigate the potential use of polymer inclusion in the phospholipid-based solid dispersion approach for augmenting the biopharmaceutical performance of Aprepitant (APT). Initially, different polymers were screened using the microarray plate method to assess their ability to…

Optimization of Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) and Carbopol 940 in Clindamycin HCl Ethosomal…
Clindamycin HCl has anti-acne properties because it can inhibit the growth of Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) bacteria. However, the bioavailability of clindamycin HCl is less than 13% of the given dose, so it needs to be developed in the form of ethosomes to increase its bioavailability. This…

3D-Printed Lipid Mesophases for the Treatment of Chronic Liver Disease
Abstract
Although lipid-based formulations are an attractive approach for enhancing the oral bioavailability of lipophilic drugs, their addition into solid oral dosage forms has been proven challenging due to their high viscosity and heat sensitivity. Therefore, unlike the traditional tableting…

Surfactants for stabilization of dermal emulsions and their skin compatibility under UVA…
Phospholipids are versatile formulation compounds with high biocompatibility. However, no data on their effect on skin in combination with UVA radiation exist. Thus, it was the aim of this work to (i) develop o/w nanoemulsions (NEs) differing in surfactant type and to investigate their…

Influence of preparation method and choice of phospholipid on co-amorphization, physical stability,…
This case study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of forming equimolar co-amorphous drug-phospholipid systems by different preparation methods. Indomethacin (IND) was chosen as a model drug and combined with three phospholipids of natural origin (soybean phosphatidylcholine (SPC), hydrogenated…

Hypericin emulsomes combined with hollow microneedles as a non-invasive photodynamic platform for…
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a joint-destructive autoimmune disease that severely affects joint function. Despite the variability of treatment protocols, all of them are associated with severe side effects that compromise patient compliance. The main aim of the current study is to prepare localized…

Chlorogenic acid-optimized nanophytovesicles: a novel approach for enhanced permeability and oral…
Background
Chlorogenic acid, a phenolic derivative, shows excellent pharmacological properties. However, poor lipidic solubility, permeability, and oral bioavailability restrict its clinical use. Therefore, two different phospholipids—Phospholipon® 90H and LIPOID® S100 nanophytovesicles (NPVs)—were…

Development of nanoparticles based on amphiphilic cyclodextrins for the delivery of active…
Abstract
Amphiphilic cyclodextrin derivatives (ACD) are useful starting materials for nanomedicines; however, their synthesis using enzymatic catalysis is unsatisfactory. This work focuses on a robust alternative pathway using mineral base catalysis to transesterify β-cyclodextrin with long-chain…
