Polymer coated polymeric microneedles for intravitreal delivery of dexamethasone
The polymer coated polymeric (PCP) microneedles (MNs) is a novel approach for controlled delivery of drugs (without allowing release of the excipients) to the target site. PCP MNs was explored as an approach to deliver the drug intravitreally to minimize the risks associated with conventional…

Exploring the potential of quercetin/aspirin-loaded chitosan nanoparticles coated with Eudragit L100…
Growing evidence suggests quercetin and aspirin may have anticancer properties, notably in the case of colorectal cancer. The goal of this study was to create Pluronic F127 and polyethylene glycol 4000 solid dispersion-loaded chitosan nanoparticles for colonic quercetin and aspirin delivery. In 1:1…

Solid microemulsion preconcentrates on pH responsive metal-organic framework for tableting
Poorly water-soluble drugs are frequently formulated with lipid-based formulations including microemulsions and their preconcentrates. We detailed the solidification of drug-loaded microemulsion preconcentrates with the acid-sensitive metal-organic framework ZIF-8 by X-ray powder diffraction and…
