Vemurafenib (VMF) is a practically insoluble (< 0.1 μg/mL) and least bioavailable (1%) drug. To enhance its oral bioavailability and solubility, we formulated a reliable self-nano emulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS). A Quality by Design (QbD) approach was used to optimize the ratio of… Read More...
Using a one-factor-at-a-time approach for dissolution method and discrimination analysis can be time-consuming and may not yield the optimal and discriminative method. To address this, we have developed a two-stage workflow for the dissolution method development followed by demonstration of… Read More...
Melanoma is a lethal form of skin cancer, which progresses with poor prognosis. The melanoma tumors are highly metastatic in nature, which often leads to tumorigenesis in lungs and brain tissues. Invasion and migration are mainly responsible for poor 5-year survival rate of ∼32 % after diagnosis of… Read More...
The primary objective of the research effort is to establish efficient solid self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (S-SNEDDS) for benidipine (BD) through the systematic application of a quality-by-design (QbD)-based paradigm. Utilizing Labrafil M 2125 CS, Kolliphor EL, and Transcutol P, the… Read More...
Abstract
Bosutinib (BOS), a BCS class IV drug suffers from poor aqueous solubility and bioavailability along with significant food effect. Lipid nanocarriers (LNC) have the potential to circumvent bioavailability related issues associated with hydrophobic moieties. In this endeavor, we explore the… Read More...
Abstract
Purpose
The thickness and other quality aspects of pharmaceutical coatings can be significantly impacted by coating process conditions. Under certain circumstances, they can notably influence the drug product performance such as dissolution profiles. Typically, a target coating… Read More...
Abstract
Although the amount of amorphous content in lactose is low, its impact on the performance of a dry powder inhalation formulation might be high. Many formulators and regulatory agencies believe that the levels of amorphous content should be controlled once there is a relationship with the… Read More...
The research work aimed to develop a robust sustained release biocompatible brinzolamide (BRZ)-loaded ocular inserts (MeltSerts) using hot-melt extrusion technology with enhanced solubility for glaucoma management. A 32 rotatable central composite design was employed for the optimization of the… Read More...
Raloxifene (RLX) is popularly indicated in treatment of osteoporosis and prevention of breast cancer. Owing to its poor aqueous solubility, high pre-systemic metabolism, intestinal glucuronidation, and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) efflux, however, it demonstrates low (< 2%) and inconsistent oral… Read More...
Most antibiotics used in topical formulations are not absorbed by deeper skin layers and subdermal tissues. Hence the skin infections are treated with large doses of oral or parenteral antibiotics which lead to unpleasant side effects with drug resistance. This could be the necessity for the… Read More...
