Fabrication and Optimization of Directly Compressible Self-Emulsifying Tablets Containing Cannabis…
Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol, which are present in cannabis extract, exhibit low bioavailability when administered orally due to significant first-pass metabolism. The use of a self-emulsifying drug delivery system (SEDDS) can enhance their dissolution and bioavailability. However, liquid…

In situ triggered, floating delivery systems of capsaicin for prolonged gastroprotection
Abstract
Capsaicin (CAP) has been implicated as a gastroprotective agent in the treatment of peptic ulcers. However, its oral administration is hampered by its poor aqueous solubility and caustic effect at high administered doses. To address these limitations, we describe the development of gastric…

Simultaneous photo-induced polymerization and surface modification by microfluidic spinning to…
Functionalized polymer fibers were prepared by microfluidic spinning involving simultaneous photopolymerization and surface modification. A capillary-based microfluidic device was used with two miscible coaxially co-flowing phases to afford polymer fibers by the photopolymerization of poly(ethylene…

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…
