Thiolated and PEGylated silica nanoparticle delivery to hair follicles
Targeting drug delivery to hair follicles is valuable to treat conditions such as alopecia’s and acne, and this shunt route may also allow drug delivery to deeper skin layers and the systemic circulation by avoiding the intact stratum corneum. Here, we investigated the effects of nanoparticle…

Empty mesoporous silica particles significantly delay disease progression and extend survival in a…
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating incurable neurological disorder characterized by motor neuron (MN) death and muscle dysfunction leading to mean survival time after diagnosis of only 2–5 years. A potential ALS treatment is to delay the loss of MNs and disease progression by the…

The Influence of Solidification on the in vitro Solubilisation of Blonanserin Loaded Supersaturated…
Supersaturated silica-lipid hybrids have previously demonstrated improved in vitro solubilisation and in vivo oral bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs, however were only fabricated using a single lipid (LFCS type I formulations) and were not compared to their liquid precursors. This study…

Fabrication of large pore mesoporous silica microspheres by salt-assisted spray-drying method for…
Large-pore mesoporous silica (LPMS) microspheres with tunable pore size have received intensive interest in the field of drug delivery due to their high storage capacity and fast delivery rate of drugs. In this work, a facile salt-assisted spray-drying method has been developed to fabricate LPMS…

Paclitaxel-Loaded Colloidal Silica and TPGS-Based Solid Self-Emulsifying System Interferes Akt/mTOR…
A solid self-emulsifying drug delivery system (SEDDS) of paclitaxel (PTX) was developed that could enhance its oral bioavailability and neutralize other niggles associated with conventional delivery systems of PTX. TPGS-centered SEDDS containing PTX was optimized by Box-Behnken experimental design…

Anti-obesity effect with reduced adverse effect of the co-administration of mini-tablets containing…
The purpose of this study was to develop an oral dosage form of orlistat for the treatment of obesity with reduced adverse effects, for example, fatty and oily stool that have been reported to be associated with the mechanism of action of orlistat. Based on the in vitro results obtained in this…

Overcoming the Solubility Barrier of Ibuprofen by the Rational Process Design of a Nanocrystal…
Wet media milling, coupled with spay drying, is a commonly proposed formulation strategy for the production and solidification of nanosuspensions in order to overcome the solubility barrier of BCS Class II substances. However, the application of mechanically and thermally intensive processes is not…

Development of piroxicam mini-tablets enabled by spherical cocrystallization
We examined the potential of the spherical cocrystallization (SCC) technology in simultaneously enhancing tablet manufacturability and dissolution of poorly soluble drugs by developing a mini-tablet formulation of piroxicam. The manufacturing of mini-tablets using a direct compression (DC) process…

Micro and Nano-drug Delivery Systems
Traditional drug formulations deliver the payload by releasing it following relatively simple physical laws, such as drug solubility or controlling its diffusion. The drug cannot always be protected from being degraded by the physiologic environment, or from being released before reaching the site…

Opportunities for Successful Stabilization of Poor Glass-Forming Drugs: A Stability-Based Comparison…
Amorphous formulation technologies to improve oral absorption of poorly soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) have become increasingly prevalent. Currently, polymer-based amorphous formulations manufactured by spray drying, hot melt extrusion (HME), or co-precipitation are most common.…
