Fabrication and Characterization of Orodispersible Composite Film from Hydroxypropylmethyl…
Crosslinked carboxymethyl rice starch (CLCMRS), prepared via dual modifications of native rice starch (NRS) with chloroacetic acid and sodium trimetaphosphate, was employed to facilitate the disintegration of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) orodispersible films (ODFs), with or without the…

Super-swelling Hydrogel-forming Microneedle based Transdermal Drug Delivery: Mathematical Modelling,…
Super-swelling hydrogel-forming microneedles (HFMNs) based transdermal drug delivery (TDD) is gaining significant interest due to their non-invasiveness and ability to deliver a wide range of drugs. The HFMNs swell by imbibing interstitial skin fluid (ISF), and they facilitate drug transport from…

Transformation of Ritonavir Nanocrystal Suspensions into a Redispersible Drug Product via Vacuum…
The present study explored vacuum drum drying (VDD) as potential drying technique for the solidification of crystalline ritonavir nanosuspensions prepared by wet-ball milling. In detail, the impact of drying protectants (mannitol, lactose, trehalose) added to the ritonavir nanosuspension was…

Semi-solid extrusion 3D printing of tailored ChewTs for veterinary use – A focus on…
Currently, there are a few or none marketed gabapentin veterinary products, leading to treatment with compounded dosage forms or off-label use of human-marketed products. With the said approaches, there are significant risks of preparation errors, rendering these practices suboptimal. A new…

Proof-of-Concept for Adjusted Surface Energies and Modified Fines as a Novel Concept in Particle…
Currently marketed dry powder inhaler (DPI) medicine lacks drug delivery performance due to insufficient powder dispersion. In carrier-based blends, incomplete drug detachment is typically attributed to excessive adhesion forces between carrier and drug particles. Adding force control agents (FCA)…

High-amylose maize starch as a novel film former to develop oral films with excellent mechanical…
Aim: The study involved the development and optimization of the fast-dissolving oral films of salbutamol sulfate using high-amylose maize starch (HAMS) as a novel film former by comparison with the HPMC E50 (hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose) films. The high aqueous solubility, low dose, and low…

A lipidic mesophase with tunable release properties for the local delivery of macromolecules: the…
Lipid mesophases are able to incorporate and release a plethora of molecules, spanning from hydrophobic drugs to small hydrophilic proteins and therefore they have been widely used as drug delivery systems. However, their 3–5 nm water channels do not allow the release of large hydrophilic molecules…

Fast In Vitro Release and In Vivo Absorption of an Anti-Schizophrenic Drug Paliperidone from Its…
The purpose of this study was to develop a drug delivery system for paliperidone (PPD) in order to provide a more effective therapeutic strategy for patients with acute schizophrenia. PPD-loaded Soluplus®/TPGS mixed micelles (PPD-S/T-MM) were prepared using the thin-film hydration method. The…

Predictive modelling of powder compaction for binary mixtures using the finite element method
Despite the widespread use of solid-form drug delivery within the pharmaceutical industry, tablets remain challenging to formulate because their properties depend strongly on the powder composition and details of the compaction process. Powder compaction simulations, using the finite element method…

Formulation, Preparation, Characterization, and Evaluation of Dicarboxylic Ionic Liquid Donepezil…
Abstract
Donepezil (DPZ) is generally administered orally to treat Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, oral administration can cause gastrointestinal side effects. Therefore, to enhance compliance, a new way to deliver DPZ from transdermal patch was developed. Ionic bonds were created by…
