Understanding the Multidimensional Effects of Polymorphism, Particle Size and Processing for…
The relevance of the polymorphic form, particle size, and processing of mannitol for the mechanical properties of solid oral dosage forms was examined. Thus, particle and powder properties of spray granulated β D-mannitol, β D-mannitol, and δ D-mannitol were assessed in this study with regards to…

Development of a multiparticulate drug delivery system for in situ amorphisation
In the current study, the concept of multiparticulate drug delivery systems (MDDS) was applied to tablets intended for the amorphisation of supersaturated granular ASDs in situ, i.e. amorphisation by microwave irradiation within the final dosage form. The MDDS concept was hypothesised to ensure…

Maillard reaction between pea protein isolate and maltodextrin via wet-heating route for emulsion…
Pea protein isolate (PPI)-maltodextrin (MD) conjugates were prepared by using controlled Maillard reaction at 90 °C in the solution state (wet-heating route). The degree of conjugation between PPI and MD was measured in terms of evolved colour, UV absorbance, and molecular weight change. Results…

In Vivo Evaluation of a Gastro-Resistant HPMC-Based “Next Generation Enteric” Capsule
Many orally dosed APIs are bioavailable only when formulated as an enteric dosage form to protect them from the harsh environment of the stomach. However, an enteric formulation is often accompanied with a higher development effort in the first place and the potential degradation of fragile APIs…

Mannitol as an Excipient for Lyophilized Injectable Formulations
The review summarizes the current state of knowledge of mannitol as an excipient in lyophilized injectable small and large molecule formulations. When compared with glycine, the physicochemical properties of mannitol make it a desirable and preferred bulking agent. Though mannitol is a popular…

Smart nano-in-microparticles to tackle bacterial infections in skin tissue engineering
Chronic wounds (resulting from underlying disease, metabolic disorders, infections, trauma, and even tumours) pose significant health problems. In this work, microparticles, based on polysaccharides (maltodextrin or dextran) and amino acids, and doped with antibacterial nanoparticles (CuO or ZnO…

Spray-freeze-dried lyospheres: Solid content and the impact on flowability and mechanical stability
Handling low-density pharmaceutical products, such as lyophilises, presents a challenge. Spray-freeze-dried (SFD) particles, overcoming many of these challenges, were analysed regarding flowability, mechanical stability, product properties (morphology, particle size) and physicochemical properties…

Evaluation of the Formulation Parameter-Dependent Redispersibility of API Nanoparticles from Fluid…
The production of nanosuspensions of poorly soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) is a popular technique to counteract challenges regarding bioavailability of such active substances. A subsequent drying of the nanosuspensions is advantageous to improve the long-term stability and the…

Hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-BCD) inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication and virus-induced…
COVID-19 is marked by extensive damage to the respiratory system, often accompanied by systemic manifestations, due to both viral cytopathic effects and hyperinflammatory syndrome. Therefore, the development of new therapeutic strategies or drug repurposing aiming to control virus replication and…
