Pullulan film incorporated with nanocapsules improves pomegranate seed oil anti-inflammatory and…
This study aimed to prepare pullulan films containing pomegranate seeds oil (PSO) based nanocapsules, and evaluate the formulation efficacy in the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD)-like lesions induced by 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB). The Eudragit RS 100® nanocapsules (PSONC) were prepared by…

Viscosity Reduction Platform by Merck
Carrying out intended dosing regimens often require highly concentrated protein formulations that may be too viscous for subcutaneous administration or other routes of administration that are limited by volume. While reducing viscosity with a single excipient can be ineffective or compromising…

In vivo evaluation of a novel zero order drug releasing transdermal system of rotigotine
Background: Rotigotine is a new non-ergolinic dopamine agonist used in the treatment of Parkinson's disorder and restless legs syndrome. It has extensive pre-systemic metabolism and administration of rotigotine through transdermal route is the best way to avoid pre-systemic metabolism and thereby to…

The interactions in ternary system made of xanthan gum, Carbopol 940 and anionic/nonionic surfactant
The development and optimization of systems consist of polymers and surfactants are strongly related to the presence of interactions between them. Therefore, the interpolymer complexes between biopolymer xanthan gum and synthetic polymer Carbopol 940 were investigated before and after the addition…

RespiCellTM: An Innovative Dissolution Apparatus for Inhaled Products
To overcome some of the shortfalls of the types of dissolution testing currently used for pulmonary products, a new custom-built dissolution apparatus has been developed. For inhalation products, the main in vitro characterisation required by pharmacopoeias is the deposition of the active…

Compatibility and stability studies involving polymers used in fused deposition modeling 3D printing…
One of the challenges for developing three-dimensional printed medicines is related to their stability due to the manufacturing conditions involving high temperatures. This work proposed a new protocol for preformulation studies simulating thermal processing and aging of the printed medicines,…

Monitoring of high-load dose formulations based on co-processed and non co-processed excipients
This work presents the evaluation of a co-processed material for high-load dose formulations and its real-time monitoring by near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy at the tablet press feed frame. The powder and tableting properties of co-processed material blends were evaluated and compared to the blend…

Solid dispersions: improving drug performance through tablet micro-structure design
Purpose Solid dispersions formulations manufactured by Hot-Melt-Extrusion (HME) have shown to improve drug release for BCS class II drugs, such as Mefenamic acid (MFA). Drug release for MFA is highly dependent on particle size. Commercially available MFA capsules have shown high variability in their…

Formulation design, production and characterisation of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) and…
Lipid nanoparticles have been widely investigated for their use as either carriers for poorly water soluble actives or as (Pickering) emulsion stabilisers. Recent studies have suggested that the fabrication of lipid nanostructures that can display both these performances concurrently, can enable the…

Utilization of Ethylcellulose Microparticles with Rupatadine Fumarate in Designing Orodispersible…
Minitablets in orodispersible form constitute a flexible drug delivery tool for paediatric and geriatric population as they eliminate the risk of chocking and do not require drinking water in the application. Due to their direct contact with taste buds, taste sensation is an important factor.…
