A new perspective for psoriasis: Dithranol nanosponge loaded hydrogels
We developed dithranol nanosponge integrated Carbopol hydrogel (DTHNS-HG) as a novel perspective for psoriasis management. Dithranol was chosen as antipsoriatic moiety for this system. In this study, our objective was to fabricate and evaluate DTHNS-HG for in vivo anti-psoriatic activity using mouse…

A Current Overview of Cyclodextrin-Based Nanocarriers for Enhanced Antifungal Delivery
Fungal infections are an extremely serious health problem, particularly in patients with compromised immune systems. Most antifungal agents have low aqueous solubility, which may hamper their bioavailability. Their complexation with cyclodextrins (CDs) could increase the solubility of antifungals,…

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…

SEDEX—Self-Emulsifying Delivery Via Hot Melt Extrusion: A Continuous Pilot-Scale Feasibility Study
The aim of this study was to develop a continuous pilot-scale solidification and characterization of self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDSs) via hot melt extrusion (HME) using Soluplus® and Kollidon® VA-64. First, an oil-binding capacity study was performed to estimate the maximal amount of…

Using a Material Library to Understand the Change of Tabletability by High Shear Wet Granulation
Understanding the tabletability change of materials after granulation is critical for the formulation and process design in tablet development. In this paper, a material library consisting of 30 pharmaceutical materials was used to summarize the pattern of change of tabletability during high shear…

Development and Evaluation of Novel Multi-unit Pellet System Formulation of Metoprolol Succinate for…
Abstract
Metaprolol succinate is a highly water-soluble drug with extensive first-pass metabolism. It needs to be administered about 3-4 times a day for optimum therapeutic effect. Conventional extended-release formulations are available but have their own disadvantages. The study was to designed…

Study of different super-disintegrants and their use as a magic ingredient for different…
The time taken by the tablet to break down into fragments or granules is called disintegration. The time it takes for a batch of tablets to dissolve into particles under certain circumstances is called a disintegration test. It essentially entails an aqueous liquid penetrating the tablet, disrupting…

Ring inserts as a useful strategy to prepare tip-loaded microneedles for long-acting drug delivery…
The role of microneedle array patches (MAPs) and, in particular, dissolving MAPs in transdermal drug delivery has increased exponentially over the last decade. MAPs are able to form drug depots in the viable skin from where poorly soluble drugs dissolve in a long-acting fashion, showing promise in…

Amphotericin B- and Levofloxacin-Loaded Chitosan Films for Potential Use in Antimicrobial Wound…
Levofloxacin (LVX) and amphotericin B (AMB) have been widely used to treat bacterial and fungal infections in the clinic. Herein, we report, for the first time, chitosan films loaded with AMB and LVX as wound dressings to combat antimicrobial infections. Additionally, we developed and validated a…
