Multivariate Data Analysis and Central Composite Design-Oriented Optimization of Solid Carriers for…
The study was initiated with two major purposes: investigating the role of isomalt (GIQ9) as a pharmaceutical carrier for solid self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (S-SNEDDSs) and improving the oral bioavailability of lipophilic curcumin (CUN). GIQ9 has never been explored for solidification…

Sex-specific effects of excipients on oral drug bioavailability
The mechanism of action of excipients eliciting sex differences in drug bioavailability is poorly understood. In this study, the excipients Cremophor RH 40 (PEG 40 hydrogenated castor oil), Poloxamer 188 (2-methyloxirane) and Tween 80 (polyoxyethylene (80) sorbitan monooleate) were screened at 0.07…

Trends in development and quality assessment of pharmaceutical formulations – F2α analogues in…
The ocular delivery route presents a number of challenges in terms of drug administration and bioavailability. The low bioavailability following topical ophthalmic administration shows that there is a clear need for in-depth research aimed at finding both more efficacious molecules and formulations…

Lipid/Clay-Based Solid Dispersion Formulation for Improving the Oral Bioavailability of Curcumin
This study was conducted to develop a lipid/clay-based solid dispersion (LSD) formulation to enhance the dissolution and oral bioavailability of poorly soluble curcumin. Krill oil and aminoclay were used as a lipid and a stabilizer, respectively, and LSD formulations of curcumin were prepared by an…

Physical and barrier changes in gastrointestinal mucus induced by the permeation enhancer sodium…
Drug delivery systems (DDS) for oral delivery of peptide drugs contain excipients that facilitate and enhance absorption. However, little knowledge exists on how DDS excipients such as permeation enhancers interact with the gastrointestinal mucus barrier. This study aimed to investigate interactions…

An insight on lipid nanoparticles for therapeutic proteins delivery
Therapeutic proteins are well-tolerated bioactive compounds used in different therapies, due to its high specificity and biopotency. Nevertheless, they may also present some physicochemical instability, leading to loss of bioactivity hampering treatments. This can be avoided by its loading into…
