Piperine (PP), a natural alkaloid found in black pepper, possesses significant bioactivities. However, its use in pharmaceutical applications is hindered by low water solubility and susceptibility to UV light degradation. To overcome these…

Abstract Context: Piperine is the main secondary metabolite isolated from the family Piperaceae. This biologically active ingredient has many pharmacological effects, though its low water solubility limits its absorption in…

The synergistic therapeutic benefits of resveratrol (RES) and piperine (PIP) have been proven for the treatment of various diseases. This study reports, for the first time, spray-drying of hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD)…

Piperine (PIP) is a herbal drug with well-known anticancer activity against different types of cancer including hepatocellular carcinoma. However, low aqueous solubility and extensive first-pass metabolism limit its clinical use. In this…

Flutamide which is used to treat prostate cancer and other diseases induces liver damage during and after the therapy. The aim of this study was to develop a flutamide/piperineco-loaded self-emulsifying drug delivery system (FPSEDDS) to…

Hypertension is a cardiovascular disease that needs long-term medication. Oral delivery is the most common route for the administration of drugs. The present research is to develop piperine self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system…

Abstract Background: Bioactive oils of natural origin have gained huge interests from health care professionals and patients. Objective: To design a bioactive self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (Bio-SNEDDS) comprising curcumin…

29. February 2016 The purpose of this investigation was to prepare and characterize acyclovir loaded floating microspheres by emulsification solvent evaporation method.…

Plant-based functional ingredients behave differently than manufacturers of nutraceuticals and cosmetic products would like. Innovative processes such as double microencapsulation can help them to overcome bioavailability and solubility…
