A quality by design framework for developing nanocrystal bioenabling formulations
The present study aims to outline a rational framework for the design and development of a 1.0% (w/v) hydrocortisone nanocrystal-based formulation, resorting to a simple, efficient, and scalable nanonization methodology, based on the high-pressure homogenization (HPH) technique. Accordingly, the…

Development of a Carvedilol Oral Liquid Formulation for Paediatric Use
Carvedilol (CARV) is an ‘off-label’ β-blocker drug to treat cardiovascular diseases in children. Since CARV is nearly insoluble in water, only CARV solid forms are commercialized. Usually, CARV tablets are manipulated to prepare an extemporaneous liquid formulation for children in hospitals. We…

Drug‑Excipient Compatibility Study Through a Novel Vial‑in‑Vial Experimental Setup: A Benchmark…
Abstract
Drug-excipient compatibility study (DECS) is one of the critical steps during pre-formulation studies to select the appropriate excipient to obtain a stable formulation/dosage form. As such, there is no recommended guideline for DECS. Further, the previously reported studies and protocols…

Optimization of ultra-sonicated homogenization conditions of fish oil emulsions to improve…
This study aimed to improve the quality characteristics of fish oil microcapsules from monolayer and multilayer emulsions by optimizing the ultra-sonicated homogenization conditions to obtain a stable source of omega-3 fatty acids to add in food matrix. For that, a response surface methodology trial…

Conceptual stabilizer selection for nanomilling based on dispersibility parameters
The choice of stabilizers to prevent particle agglomeration during nanomilling is an elaborate process which is often based on empirical rules and experience. Usually, extensive screening studies are required to find an appropriate stabilizing additive. The present study shows how the selection of…

The balance of physical stability and drug release in ternary fenofibrate/HPC/Eudragit L100-55…
Introduction
Amorphous solid dispersions are state-of the art enabling technique for poorly water soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). In an ASD, the API is molecularly dissolved in a suitable polymer matrix that stabilizes the amorphous state during storage against recrystallization…

Poly vinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) based inhaled delivery carriers for olaparib for non-small cell lung…
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is ranked first worldwide amongst deadly cancers with poor patient survival rate. While chemotherapy, radiation and surgery are available treatment options, NSCLC tumor cells are known to develop resistance and quickly metastasize. Recently, PARP inhibitors have…

2-Hydroxypropyl-β-Cyclodextrin Treatment Induces Modest Immune Activation in Healthy Rhesus Macaques
Experimental simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infection of Asian macaques is an excellent model for HIV disease progression and therapeutic development. Recent coformulations of nucleoside analogs and an integrase inhibitor have been used for parenteral antiretroviral (ARV) administration in…
