The most recent advances in liquisolid technology: Perspectives in the pharmaceutical industry
Abstract
Hydrophobic drugs exhibit altered bioavailability and pose other challenges at an industrial level due to their poor solubility and dissolution rates. In addition, poor flowability, compressibility, complex dosing schedules, and light-sensitivity problems associated with hydrophobic…

The challenge of downstream processing of spray dried amorphous solid dispersions into minitablets…
Poorly water-soluble drugs present a significant challenge in the development of oral solid dosage forms (OSDs). In formulation development the appropriate use of excipients to adjust solubility, and the choice of manufacturing method and pharmaceutical processes to obtain a dosage form to meet the…

Development of solid lipid microparticles (SLMs) containing asiatic acid for topical treatment of…
Solid lipid microparticles (SLMs) represent a promising approach for drug delivery in anti-acne applications. In this study, asiatic acid-loaded SLMs (AASLMs) were prepared by melt emulsification method in conjunction with freeze-drying. Comprehensive evaluations comprised particle size, %entrapment…

Skin-friendly textures – by Gattefossé
Caring for patients
Patient preferences and needs as well as therapeutic indication should be considered at early stage of development of topical or transdermal formulations.
To increase adherence to skin treatments, it is important to consider patient’s needs, when designing the dosage…

Fabrication of a Controlled-Release Core-Shell Floating Tablet of Ketamine Hydrochloride Using a 3D…
In this study, a novel floating, controlled-release and core-shell oral tablet of ketamine hydrochloride (HCl) was produced using a dual extrusion by 3D printing method. A mixture of Soluplus® and Eudragit® RS-PO was extruded by a hot-melt extrusion (HME) nozzle at 150–160 °C to fabricate the tablet…

Equivalence assessment of creams with quali-quantitative differences in light of the EMA and FDA…
Abstract
EMA and FDA are upgrading guidelines on assessing the quality and the equivalence of topically applied drug products for developing copies of originator products and supporting post-marketing variations. For topical products having remarkably similar composition, both EMA and FDA accept…

Drinkable in situ-forming tough hydrogels for gastrointestinal therapeutics
Abstract
Pills are a cornerstone of medicine but can be challenging to swallow. While liquid formulations are easier to ingest, they lack the capacity to localize therapeutics with excipients nor act as controlled release devices. Here we describe drug formulations based on liquid in situ-forming…
