Exploring the Role of Surfactants in Enhancing Drug Release from Amorphous Solid Dispersions at…
To reduce the dosage size of amorphous solid dispersion (ASD)-based formulations, it is of interest to devise formulation strategies that allow increased drug loading (DL) without compromising dissolution performance. The aim of this study was to explore how surfactant addition impacts drug release…

GE11 Modified PLGA/TPGS Nanoparticles Targeting Delivery of Salinomycin to Breast Cancer Cells
Abstract:
Salinomycin (Sal) is a potent inhibitor with effective anti-breast cancer properties in clinical therapy. The occurrence of various side effect of Sal greatly limits its application. The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family is a family of receptors highly expressed in most…

Role of Surfactant Micellization for Enhanced Dissolution of Poorly Water-Soluble Cilostazol Using…
This study aimed to investigate the role of micellization of sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) in poloxamer 407 (POX)-based solid dispersions (POX-based SDs) using the anti-solvent method in enhancing the dissolution rate of practically water-insoluble cilostazol (CLT). Herein, SLS was incorporated into…

Highly Branched Polymers Based on Poly(amino acid)s for Biomedical Application
Polymers consisting of amino acid building blocks continue to receive consideration for biomedical applications. Since poly(amino acid)s are built from natural amino acids, the same building blocks proteins are made of, they are biocompatible, biodegradable and their degradation products are…

Development of Apremilast Solid Dispersion Using TPGS and PVPVA with Enhanced Solubility and…
Apremilast (APST) is an effective inhibitor of phosphodieasterase 4 (PDE4) which is the first oral drug for the treatment of adult patients with active psoriatic arthritis. However, Apremilast’s low solubility restricts its dissolution and bioavailability. In this study, APST solid dispersion with…

The Development of Minitablets for a Pediatric Dosage Form for a Combination Therapy
Minitablets are an appealing option for an age-appropriate pediatric dosage form. In particular, for combination therapies where multiple active ingredients are dosed simultaneously, the use of minitablets will enable independent adjustments of each dose. The work presented describes the development…

A Combined Self-Assembled Drug Delivery for Effective Anti-Breast Cancer Therapy
Aim: The metastasis of breast cancer is an important cause of tumor recurrence. This study highlights that tyrosine kinase inhibitors dasatinib (DAS) and rosiglitazone (ROZ) inhibit tumor growth and reduce the occurrence of tumor cell metastasis. Due to the poor water solubility, short half-time in…
