Recent Progress of Solid Lipid Nanoparticles and Nanostructured Lipid Carriers as Ocular Drug…
Abstract
Sufficient ocular bioavailability is often considered a challenge by the researchers, due to the complex structure of the eye and its protective physiological mechanisms. In addition, the low viscosity of the eye drops and the resulting short ocular residence time further contribute to the…

Quality by Design-Based Development of Solid Self-Emulsifying Drug Delivery System (SEDDS) as a…
For many years, researchers have been making efforts to find a manufacturing technique, as well as a drug delivery system, that will allow for oral delivery of biopharmaceuticals to their target site of action without impairing their biological activity. Due to the positive in vivo outcomes of this…

A two-pronged approach against glioblastoma: Drug repurposing and nanoformulation design for in…
Glioblastoma (GB) is one of the most lethal types of neoplasms. Its biologically aggressive nature and the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) limit the efficacy of standard therapies. Several strategies are currently being developed to both overcome the BBB and deliver drugs site-specifically…

Lyophilization for Formulation Optimization of Drug-Loaded Thermoresponsive Polyelectrolyte Complex…
The lyophilization of nanogels is practical not only for their long-term conservation but also for adjusting their concentration and dispersant type during reconstitution for different applications. However, lyophilization strategies must be adapted to each kind of nanoformulation in order to…

Alternative Excipients for Protein Stabilization in Protein Therapeutics: Overcoming the Limitations…
Given their safety and efficiency in protecting protein integrity, polysorbates (PSs) have been the most widely used excipients for the stabilization of protein therapeutics for years. In recent decades, however, there have been numerous reports about visible or sub-visible particles in…

Ocular Drug Delivery: a Comprehensive Review
The human eye is a sophisticated organ with distinctive anatomy and physiology that hinders the passage of drugs into targeted ophthalmic sites. Effective topical administration is an interest of scientists for many decades. Their difficult mission is to prolong drug residence time and guarantee an…

Skin drug delivery using lipid vesicles: A starting guideline for their development
Lipid vesicles can provide a cost-effective enhancement of skin drug absorption when vesicle production process is optimised. It is an important challenge to design the ideal vesicle, since their properties and features are related, as changes in one affect the others. Here, we review the main…

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…

Transdermal delivery of acemetacin loaded microemulsions: preparation, characterization, in vitro –…
The goal of this study was to see if microemulsions might be used as a transdermal drug delivery system for acemetacin (ACM). Microemulsions containing isopropyl myristate, Tween 80, Transcutol HP, Labrafil M1944 CS, ethanol, and distilled water were used to create pseudo-ternary phase diagrams. In…

Design and Optimization of a Nanoparticulate Pore Former as a Multifunctional Coating Excipient for…
Bioavailability of weakly basic drugs may be disrupted by dramatic pH changes or unexpected pH alterations in the gastrointestinal tract. Conventional organic acids or enteric coating polymers cannot address this problem adequately because they leach out or dissolve prematurely, especially during…
