Solids

The term “multicomponent solid dispersion” is widely used in recent literature to describe solid formulations consisting of a special excipient's mixture and active molecules finely dispersed. However, this term has not yet been defined. In this review, we aimed to improve the definition of…

Cefdinir (CFD) is an oral cephalosporin antibiotic commonly used in the treatment of community-acquired infections. The oral bioavailability of CFD is limited due to its poor aqueous solubility. Cyclodextrins (CyDs) and their chemically modified derivatives are used in the pharmaceutical field to…

Internal aqueous phase was incorporated in solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) containing 5 lipid components to form dual-phase SLNs (DPSLNs), which were then conjugated with transferrin (Tf) to transport nerve growth factor (NGF), rosmarinic acid (ROA), curcumin (CURC) and quercetin (QU) for enhanced…

This work explored absorption efficacy via an in vivo imaging system and parallel artificial membrane penetration in indomethacin (IMC) solid dispersion (SD) systems. Two different polymer excipients—hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and Kollicoat IR as precipitation inhibitors (PIs)—combined…

There are two general flow patterns that can occur when a bulk solid is discharged from a hopper: funnel flow and mass flow. In funnel flow, an active flow channel forms above the outlet, with stagnant material remaining at the periphery. In mass flow, the entire solids bed is in motion when the…

The objective of this study was to investigate the application of the physically modified rice starch (MRS) produced by alcoholic-alkaline (MRS-AA) and planetary ball-milling (MRS-BM) methods as an ODF film former. Rice starch was isolated from Thai rice grain. XRD and ATR-FTIR results confirmed…

Influence of the compaction speed on the final tablet properties is an important challenge during the scale-up of a solid dosage form. This strain rate sensitivity is generally attributed to the time dependent deformation behavior of the powder. In this work, we studied the influence of the speed on…

Background Metastasis causes the most breast cancer-related deaths in women. Here, we investigated the antitumor effect of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN-DTX) when used in the treatment of metastatic breast tumors using 4T1-bearing BALB/c mice. Results Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) were…

Most influenza vaccines are administered via injection, which is considered as userunfriendly. Vaccination via oral cavity using an orodispersible film (ODF) might be a promising alternative. To maintain the antigenicity of the vaccine during preparation and subsequent storage of these ODFs, sugars…
