Formulation of Silymarin-β Cyclodextrin-TPGS Inclusion Complex: Physicochemical Characterization,…
Abstract
Silymarin (SIL) is a poorly water-soluble flavonoid reported for different pharmacological properties. Its therapeutic applications are limited due to poor water solubility. In this study, the solubility of silymarin has been enhanced by preparing freeze-dried binary and ternary complexes…

Loratadine oral bioavailability enhancement via solid dispersion loaded oro-dispersible films:…
Loratadine (LRD) belongs to second-generation tricyclic H1 antihistamine class, known for its non-sedating properties in allergic reactions. H1 antihistamines avoid and block the responses to allergens or histamine in nose and conjunctivae, thereby abolishing itching, congestion and…

Highly Concentrated Emulsions Containing High Loads of Pterostilbene
Abstract
Pterostilbene is a highly researched molecule due to its bioactivity. However, its hydrophobicity limits its application. For this reason, researchers have sought to encapsulate pterostilbene (namely, in oil-in-water emulsion) to increase its availability. Studies are lacking when it comes…

Exploring the use of modified in vitro digestion assays for the evaluation of ritonavir loaded solid…
Solid lipid-based formulations (sLBFs) have the potential to increase the oral bioavailability of drugs with poor solubility in water, while counteracting some of the disadvantages of liquid LBFs. The most common experimental set-up to study the performance of LBFs in vitro is the lipolysis assay,…
