Development and Characterization of α-Lipoic Acid Amorphous Solid Dispersion for Improved Oral…
Abstract
α-Lipoic acid (LA), a naturally occurring antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, has limited aqueous solubility and bioavailability which hinders its clinical application. To overcome these limitations, in this study, we have developed LA solid dispersion (LASD) using soluplus (SOL) to…

Preparation of self-dispersible eutectic mixtures for poorly soluble drugs: Hot-melt extrusion vs.…
Abstract
Solid eutectic mixtures of self-dispersible polyethylene glycol-40-stearate with fenofibrate or ibuprofen—prepared by casting or by twin-screw extrusion—were compared in terms of processability and dissolution rate at, below, and above the eutectic concentration. Furthermore, the effects…
