HME as Advanced Approach for Development of Solid Self Emulsifying Drug Delivery System
The pharmaceutical industry is paying more and more attention to hot-melt extrusion (HME), but this technology's promise for creating solid self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (S-SMEDDS) has not yet been fully realized. The numerous published publications over the past five years show that hot…

A Comprehensive Review of Disintegrants: Backbone of disintegration
Abstract
Strong attractive bonding forces works among the particles of solid dosage forms such as mechanical, solid and intermolecular and bioavailability of solid dosage form is preferentially dependent on in vivo disintegration then dissolution. This review is focused for disintegrating agents,…

Formulation and Preparation of Losartan-Potassium-Loaded Controlled-Release Matrices Using Ethocel…
In the current study, matrices of losartan potassium were formulated with two different polymers (Ethocel 10 premium and Ethocel 10FP premium), along with a filler and a lubricant, at different drug-to-polymer w/w ratios (10:3, 10:4, and 10:5). The matrices were tested by the direct compression…

The interplay between trehalose and dextran as spray drying precursors for cationic liposomes
Successful oral delivery of liposomes requires formulations designed to withstand harsh gastrointestinal conditions, e.g., by converting to solid-state followed by loading into gastro-resistant delivery devices. The hypothesis was that the use of dextran-trehalose mixtures for spray drying would…

A Novel Combined Dry Powder Inhaler Comprising Nanosized Ketoprofen-Embedded Mannitol-Coated…
Pulmonary inflammations such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cystic fibrosis are widespread and can be fatal, especially when they are characterized by abnormal mucus accumulation. Inhaled corticosteroids are commonly used for lung inflammations despite their considerable side effects.…

PEARLITOL® 200 GT Mannitol: Harnessing the Potential of Higher Active Ingredient Content for…
INTRODUCTION
Mannitol is the first intention excipient for oral solid forms, designed for APIs having stability problems. Mannitol is not hygroscopic and presents a high chemical stability; therefore, it is considered compatible with almost all drugs.
To combine its high stability properties…
