Polyvinyl Alcohol – PVA
A sterilizable platform based on crosslinked xanthan gum for controlled-release of polymeric…
Abstract
TPGS (D-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate) polymeric micelles show interesting properties for ocular administration thanks to their solubilization capability, nanometric size and tissue penetration ability. However, micelles formulations are generally characterized by low…

Improved Transdermal Delivery of Novel Cannabinoid-Loaded Patches Using Eudragit Matrix
The main active cannabinoids in extracts of Cannabis sativa L., cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) and tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA), are known for their pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory, analgesic, psychedelic, anti-cancer, and anti-spasmodic activities. This study aimed to develop…

Evaluation of Printability of PVA-Based Tablets from Powder and Assessment of Critical Rheological…
Abstract
Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is a rather new technology in the production of personalized dosage forms. The melting and printing of polymer–active pharmaceutical ingredient (API)—mixtures can be used to produce oral dosage forms with different dosage as well as release behavior. This…

Enhanced mechanical and antimicrobial properties of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose films…
In this study, we produced hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) films containing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by a straightforward method for potential wound dressing applications. Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) or polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was added to these films to improve their mechanical properties.…

Understanding the Interaction of Thermal, Rheological, and Mechanical Parameters Critical for the…
Abstract
Hot melt extrusion (HME) is a common manufacturing process used in the pharmaceutical industry to improve the solubility of poorly soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). The goal is to create an amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) where the amorphous form of the API is stabilized…
