Endotoxins are lipopolysaccharides (LPS) which are outer membrane components of gram-negative bacteria. By decomposing, these bacteria release lipopolysaccharides, which are toxic. Parenteral medicines such as solutions for dialysis, hemofiltration and osmotherapy constitute a marked quality…

Andrographolide (AD) is a potent natural product with a wide range of pharmacological activities. However, it has low oral bioavailability due to poor solubility and dissolution rate. Solid dispersion (SD) is a promising technique to improve the solubility and dissolution rate of such molecules. In…

Background The lipid self-emulsifying system has been advanced as a promising delivery vehicle for improving the solubility and bioavailability of artemether and lumefantrine. However, the observed kinetic instability (propensity of lumefantrine to rapid crystallisation from nano-scale droplets) in…

Abstract Artificial intelligence is increasingly entering everyday healthcare. Large language model (LLM) systems such as Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT) have become potentially accessible to everyone, including patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). However, significant…
