Inhaled dry powder liposomal azithromycin for treatment of chronic lower respiratory tract infection
A dry powder inhaled liposomal azithromycin formulation was developed for the treatment of chronic respiratory diseases such as cystic fibrosis and bronchiectasis. Key properties including liposome size, charge and encapsulation efficiency powder size, shape, glass transition temperature (Tg), water…

Effect of Talc and Vitamin E TPGS on Manufacturability, Stability and Release Properties of…
This study was focused on one particular case of hot-melt coating with trilaurin – a solid medium-chain monoacid triglyceride. The challenge of using trilaurin as coating agent in melting-based processes is linked to its relatively low melting profile: 15.6°C (Tm,α), 35.1°C (Tm,β′) and 45.7°C…

Multicompartmental pharmacokinetic evaluation of enavogliflozin eye drop formulation: Understanding…
Abstract
Purpose
Treating posterior segment diseases presents significant challenges because of the intricate anatomical and physiological barriers within the eye that limit drug penetration. Enavogliflozin eye drops (DWRX2008) are a novel candidate for diabetic retinopathy; however, their…

TPGS/soluplus® blended micelles: an effective strategy for improving loading capacity of ferroptosis…
Erastin is the most classical small molecular ferroptosis inducer but its clinical application is hindered due to its poor solubility. Nanotechnology has been used to improve ferroptosis inducer erastin’s solubility. The recently reported erastin-incorporated nanosystems (e.g., nanoparticulate…

Development of rapidly soluble mebendazole nanosuspension for colorectal cancer
Mebendazole (MBZ) has been proven as a repurposing molecule against colorectal cancer. Unfortunately, its clinical application is constrained by its extremely poor solubility and bioavailability. The aim of the current work was to augment the dissolution rate at colonic pH and the anticancer…

Cyclosporine A micellar nasal spray characterization and antiviral action against SARS-CoV-2
The upper airways represent the point of entrance from where Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection spreads to the lungs. In the present work, α-tocopheryl-polyethylene-glycol succinate (TPGS) micelles loaded with cyclosporine A (CSA) were developed for nasal…

The Development of Lipid-Based Sorafenib Granules to Enhance the Oral Absorption of Sorafenib
Abstract
Sorafenib (SFN) is an anticancer multi-kinase inhibitor with great therapeutic potential. However, SFN has low aqueous solubility, which limits its oral absorption. Lipids and surfactants have the potential to improve the solubility of water-insoluble drugs. The aim of this study is thus…
