Formulation development and evaluation of Transdermal patch of Astaxanthin
Transdermal patches are the cutting-edge drug delivery approach that may be utilized to bypass hepatic first-pass metabolism and to increase absorption for effective systemic effects. By using HPMC, Eudragit L-100, Plasticizer, and Permeation Enhancer in varying proportions, the Astaxanthin drug…

Ring inserts as a useful strategy to prepare tip-loaded microneedles for long-acting drug delivery…
The role of microneedle array patches (MAPs) and, in particular, dissolving MAPs in transdermal drug delivery has increased exponentially over the last decade. MAPs are able to form drug depots in the viable skin from where poorly soluble drugs dissolve in a long-acting fashion, showing promise in…

Processing of Lipid Nanodispersions into Solid Powders by Spray Drying
Spray drying is a promising technology for drying lipid nanodispersions. These formulations can serve as carrier systems for poorly water-soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) that are loaded into the lipid matrix to improve their bioavailability. Once the API-loaded nanocarriers have…

Design of Liposomal Lidocaine/Cannabidiol Fixed Combinations for Local Neuropathic Pain Treatment
The administration of drug fixed combinations by nanocarriers is a new attractive approach since it can allow improvements in both the skin penetration of cargo compounds and their synergistic effects. The cutaneous administration of lidocaine (LD) and cannabidiol (CBD) combination can be useful for…
