Vitamin E TPGS
Paclitaxel-Loaded Colloidal Silica and TPGS-Based Solid Self-Emulsifying System Interferes Akt/mTOR…
A solid self-emulsifying drug delivery system (SEDDS) of paclitaxel (PTX) was developed that could enhance its oral bioavailability and neutralize other niggles associated with conventional delivery systems of PTX. TPGS-centered SEDDS containing PTX was optimized by Box-Behnken experimental design…

Liquisolid tablets – A rationale for formulation and process design
A significant proportion of new API’s in development are poorly soluble and require alternative formulation approaches to achieve adequate oral bioavailability. One option is to develop lipid-based formulations. Lipid formulations are typically liquids but can be converted into solid dosage forms…

Enhanced oral bioavailability of self-Assembling curcumin-vitamin E prodrug-nanoparticles by…
Curcumin (CUR), a non-toxic natural compound with potent antitumor activity, was limited in clinical application due to its insolubility and exceedingly low bioavailability. In this study, a novel prodrug-nanoparticles (CSSV/TPGS-NPs) self-assembled by co-nanoprecipitation of curcumin-s-s-vitamin E…

Synergistic and antagonistic effects of non-ionic surfactants with bile salt + phospholipid mixed…
The nature of the interaction of bile salt micelles with exogenous surfactants used in formulations and the consequent impact on drug solubilisation is not well understood. It is often assumed that addition of any surfactant will lead to an enhanced solubility of drug, which is often true in water…

Preparation of Hot-Melt Extruded Dosage Form for Enhancing Drugs Absorption Based on Computational…
The aim of this study was to control the dissolution rate and permeability of cilostazol. To enhance the dissolution rate of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), hot-melt extrusion (HME) technology was applied to prepare a solid dispersion (SD). To control permeability in the gastrointestinal…

Rebaudioside A/TPGS mixed nanomicelles as promising nanocarriers for nimodipine ocular delivery
Nimodipine (NMD), a calcium channel blocker, has demonstrated benefits in treating glaucoma. However, its ocular therapeutic application remains limited due to its poor aqueous solubility, which restrains the development of an ophthalmic formulation. Thus, the present study aimed to formulate an NMD…

Nanomedicine and Chemotherapeutics Drug Delivery: Challenges and Opportunities
Cancer is considered as one of the biggest threats to human worldwide. Researchers suggest that tumour is not just a single mass, it comprises cancerous cells surrounded by noncancerous cells such as immune cells, adipocytes, and cancer stem cells (CSCs) in the extracellular matrix (ECM) contains…
