Formulation of antiretroviral nanocrystals and development into a microneedle delivery system for…
HIV/AIDS remains a major global public health issue. While antiretroviral therapy is effective at reducing the viral load in the blood, up to 50% of those with HIV suffer from some degree of HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder, due to the presence of the blood-brain barrier restricting drugs from…

Preparation of a ternary amorphous solid dispersion using hot-melt extrusion for obtaining a stable…
In our previous reports, ternary amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) of probucol (PBC)/polymer/surfactant were prepared by spray-drying and cryo-grinding, and colloidal dispersions of amorphous PBC nanoparticles were obtained by dispersing the ternary ASD into water. In this study, hot-melt…
