Utilization of a nanostructured lipid carrier encapsulating pitavastatin–Pinus densiflora oil for…
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common epithelial tumor of the oral cavity. Gingival tumors, a unique type of OSCC, account for 10% of these malignant tumors. The antineoplastic properties of statins, including pitavastatin (PV), and the essential oil of the Pinus densiflora leaf (Pd…

Exposing Profound Screening Potential of Ethanol-Based Dissolution Media in the Development of…
Characterization of drug release from modified-release products in the presence of alcohol is required to evaluate the possibility of dose dumping due to safety assurance reasons. A generic product containing BCS IV drug and HPMCAS polymer was formulated as amorphous solid dispersion with hot-melt…

Co-carrier-based solid dispersion of celecoxib improves dissolution rate and oral bioavailability in…
This study aimed to prepare a co-carrier-based solid dispersion (SD) of celecoxib (CXB) to improve its dissolution and oral bioavailability. The CXB-loaded SD formulation was prepared using CXB, pol407, Aerosil 200, and Eudragit L100 at a weight ratio of 1:3:1.5:1. PXRD, DSC, and FTIR analyses were…

Assessing the Solubility of Baricitinib and Drug Uptake in Different Tissues Using Absorption and…
The low water solubility of baricitinib (BCT) limits the development of new formulations for the topical delivery of the drug. The aims of this study were to assess the solubility of BCT in different solvents, including Transcutol, a biocompatible permeation enhancer that is miscible in water, to…

Water as Green Solvent: Methods of Solubilisation and Extraction of Natural Products – Past,…
Water is considered the greenest solvent. Nonetheless, the water solubility of natural products is still an incredibly challenging issue. Indeed, it is nearly impossible to solubilize or to extract many natural products properly using solely water due to their low solubility in this solvent. To…

5-Fluorouracil crystal-incorporated, pH-responsive, and release-modulating PLGA/Eudragit FS hybrid…
5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent for colorectal cancer (CRC) owing to its potent anticancer effects. However, severe systemic side effects and poor drug accumulation in the CRC tissues limit its efficacy. This study aimed to develop 5-FU crystal-incorporated,…

Development and Characterisation of a Topical Methyl Salicylate Patch: Effect of Solvents on…
The advent of skin patch formulation design and technology has enabled the commercialisation of methyl salicylate (MS) as a topical patch. However, the most fundamental aspect of skin permeation is unknown at present. The study aims to investigate the effect of solvent choice on the skin permeation…
