Solubility Enhancement of Poorly Soluble Drug Ezetimibe by Developing Self Nano Emulsifying Drug…
Objectives: To enhance solubility, dissolution, and permeability of poorly water-soluble drug Ezetimibe (EZE) using a self-nano emulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS).
Methods: Initially, the solubility of the EZE was determined in various oils and buffers. Surfactants and co-surfactants were…

Preparation of Solid Self-Nanoemulsifying Drug Delivery Systems (S-SNEDDS) by Co-Extrusion of Liquid…
The present study focused on a new formulation approach to improving the solubility of drugs with poor aqueous solubility. A hot melt extrusion (HME) process was applied to prepare drug-loaded solid self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (S-SNEDDS) by co-extrusion of liquid SNEDDS (L-SNEDDS) and…

Varied Bulk Powder Properties of Micro-Sized API within Size Specifications as a Result of Particle…
Micronized particles are commonly used to improve the content uniformity (CU), dissolution performance, and bioavailability of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). Different particle engineering routes have been developed to prepare micron-sized API in a specific size range to deliver desirable…

Fused deposition modeling 3D printing of solid oral dosage forms containing amorphous solid…
Many active principles belong to the second class of the Biopharmaceutics Classification System due to their low aqueous solubility. Elaboration of new solid oral forms by hot-melt extrusion and fused deposition modeling appears as a promising tool to increase the dissolution rate of these drugs.…

Design of Experiments as a Tool to Optimize the Process of Coating Minitablets with Commercial…
According to the Quality by Design (QbD) concept, Design of Experiment (DoE) was used to indicate critical process parameters and optimize the fluid bed coating of minitablets in a laboratory size batch. Full factorial design was employed to increase knowledge of the process for three kinds of…

Exploiting synergistic effects of brittle and plastic excipients in directly compressible…
Direct compression (DC) is the simplest and most economical way to produce pharmaceutical tablets. Ideally, it consists of only two steps: dry blending of a drug substance(s) with excipients followed by compressing the powder mixture into tablets. In this study, immediate-release film-coated tablets…

Evaluation of Manufacturer-to-Manufacturer Variability of Croscarmellose Sodium: Influence on the…
The present study aimed to investigate if the manufacturer variability of croscarmellose sodium, a superdisintegrant, could have an impact on the dissolution of sitagliptin phosphate (a highly water-soluble drug) and escitalopram oxalate (a sparingly soluble drug) from their tablets. Some of the…

Moisture Sorption by Polymeric Excipients Commonly Used in Amorphous Solid Dispersions and its…
Moisture sorption by polymeric carriers used for the development of amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) plays a critical role in the physical stability of dispersed drugs since moisture may decrease glass transition temperature (Tg) and thereby increase molecular mobility of drugs leading to their…
