Polyvinyl Alcohol – PVA
Development of Biodegradable Films Loaded with Phages with Antilisterial Properties
The inhibitory and bactericidal capacity of Listex P100 bacteriophage has been studied against different concentrations of Listeria monocytogenes in stationary and exponential phases. Three different matrices were employed to developed films incorporating Listex P100: (1) sodium caseinate, (2)…

Fabrication of carboxymethyl chitosan/poly(ε-caprolactone)/doxorubicin/nickel ferrite core-shell…
The coaxial electrospinning for producing core-shell nanofibers due to control the release profile of drug by the shell layer has been developed. N-carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC)-polyvinyl alcohol (core)/poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) (shell) nanofibers were produced via coaxial electrospinning.…

Capability of core-sheath polyvinyl alcohol- Polycaprolactone emulsion electrospun nanofibrous…
Core-sheath nanofibrous scaffolds from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-strontium ranelate (SrR)- Polycaprolactone (PCL) were prepared by water in oil electrospinning method. Thus, PCL (the oil phase) was used as the shell part and a mixture of PVA and SrR (the water phase) was inserted in the core.

Gastro-retentive drug delivery systems: a recent update on clinical pertinence and drug delivery
Gastro-retentive drug delivery systems are some of the best technologies delivered through oral route. These mainly came into picture for their effective local action in the GI region, specifically for the drugs with narrow absorption window. In the recent decades, several technologies have evolved…

Better Medicines for Older Patients: Considerations between Patient Characteristics and Solid Oral…
Oral drug administration provided as solid oral dosage forms (SODF) remains the major route of drug therapy in primary and secondary care. There is clear evidence for a growing number of clinically relevant swallowing issues (e.g., dysphagia) in the older patient population, especially when…

Process optimization of twin-screw melt granulation of fenofibrate using design of experiment (DoE)
The purpose of this study was to optimize the melt granulation process of fenofibrate using twin-screw granulator. Initial screening was performed to select the excipients required for melt granulation process. A 3 × 3 factorial design was used to optimize the processing conditions using the % drug…

Pharmaceutical applications of aqueous scaled-up electrospinning
Thesis findings
A solid formulation of a model biopharmaceutical drug (β-galactosidase) was developed and produced by high-speed electrospinning for the first time. A fully aqueous polymeric solution was successfully electrospun with a 30 mL/h feeding rate, which is about 30x higher than the…

Solubilization of tadalafil using a tartaric acid and chitosan-based multi-system
Solubilization studies of tadalafil (TDF) have recently improved the dissolution (%) using weak acids and bases in our group. However, the weak acid formulations have a low dissolution (%) of TDF as limitation. Thus, the purpose of this study was to improve the dissolution (%) of TDF over 90% in…
