Characterization of the viscoelasticity of pharmaceutical tablets using impulse excitation technique
Pharmaceutical tablets can be produced on different kinds of presses that may have very different compaction kinematics. Strain rate sensitivity (SRS) is thus an important property for the powders used to produce pharmaceutical tablets. Viscoelasticity is one of the aspects of the SRS and can be…

Polymeric versus lipid nanocapsules for miconazole nitrate enhanced topical delivery: in vitro and…
Nanocapsules can be equated to other nanovesicular systems in which a drug is entrapped in a void containing liquid core surrounded by a coat. The objective of the present study was to investigate the potential of polymeric and lipid nanocapsules (LNCs) as innovative carrier systems for miconazole…

Tablet Disintegration and Dispersion under In Vivo-like Hydrodynamic Conditions
Disintegration and dispersion are functional properties of tablets relevant for the desired API release. The standard disintegration test (SDT) described in different pharmacopoeias provides only limited information on these complex processes. It is considered not to be comparable to the biorelevant…

Hot-melt extrudability of amorphous solid dispersions of flubendazole-copovidone: An exploratory…
The FDA-approved anthelmintic flubendazole has shown potential to be repositioned to treat cancer and dry macular degeneration; however, its poor water solubility limits its use. Amorphous solid dispersions may overcome this challenge, but the balance of excipients may impact the preparation method…

Level A IVIVC for immediate release tablets confirms in vivo predictive dissolution testing for…
A bioequivalence study comparing two fixed dose combination tablets containing 200 mg ibuprofen and 30 mg pseudoephedrine hydrochloride showed bioequivalence for pseudoephedrine AUC and Cmax, but the reference product showed higher Cmax than the test product in fasted conditions. The main difference…
