Solving the Insoluble with AFFINISOL™ HPMC
AFFINISOL™ hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) is a water-soluble cellulosic polymer that can help optimize solubility enhancement by maintaining stable solid dispersions and inhibiting API crystallization.
More sophisticated drug discovery techniques have led to pipeline compounds that require…

QbD aided development of ibrutinib-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers aimed for lymphatic…
Ibrutinib (IBR) is the choice of drug for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). IBR has low oral bioavailability of 2.9% owing to its high first pass metabolism. Present study was aimed to develop the nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) using glyceryl…

Amorphous Solid Dispersions in Early Stage of Formulation Development: Predicting Excipient…
Excipients play an important role in the formulation of dosage forms and can be used to improve the bioavailability of a drug through physical interactions that alter the rate of dissolution of a drug. The objective of this study was to predict the effect of formulation on the dissolution rate of a…
