Controlled release excipients are used from formulators to transfer APIs to a particular site in the body. Due to this properties, side effects are reduced and the drugs biovavailability is increased.

Novel Microemulsion Containing Benzocaine and Fusidic Acid Simultaneously: Formulation,…
Modern drug carrier technologies, such as microemulsions with small droplet sizes and high surface areas, improve the ability of low water solubility active ingredients to permeate and localize. The goal of this study was to create microemulsion formulations for wound healing that contained both…

Study of PEG-b-PLA/Eudragit S100 Blends on the Nanoencapsulation of Indigo Carmine Dye and…
A nanocapsule shell of poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(d,l-lactic acid) (PEG-b-PLA) mixed with anionic Eudragit S100 (90/10% w/w) was previously used to entrap and define the self-assembly of indigo carmine (IC) within the hydrophilic cavity core. In the present work, binary blends were prepared by…

Studying the API Distribution of Controlled Release Formulations Produced via Continuous Twin-Screw…
Abstract
Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) is a preferred hydrophilic matrix former for controlled release formulations produced through continuous twin-screw wet granulation. However, a non-homogeneous API distribution over sieve fractions with underdosing in the fines fraction (<150 µm) was…

Chrono-tailored drug delivery systems: recent advances and future directions
Abstract
Circadian rhythms influence a range of biological processes within the body, with the central clock or suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in the brain synchronising peripheral clocks around the body. These clocks are regulated by external cues, the most influential being the light/dark cycle,…

Equivalence assessment of creams with quali-quantitative differences in light of the EMA and FDA…
Abstract
EMA and FDA are upgrading guidelines on assessing the quality and the equivalence of topically applied drug products for developing copies of originator products and supporting post-marketing variations. For topical products having remarkably similar composition, both EMA and FDA accept…

Drinkable in situ-forming tough hydrogels for gastrointestinal therapeutics
Abstract
Pills are a cornerstone of medicine but can be challenging to swallow. While liquid formulations are easier to ingest, they lack the capacity to localize therapeutics with excipients nor act as controlled release devices. Here we describe drug formulations based on liquid in situ-forming…

3D-Printed Lipid Mesophases for the Treatment of Chronic Liver Disease
Abstract
Although lipid-based formulations are an attractive approach for enhancing the oral bioavailability of lipophilic drugs, their addition into solid oral dosage forms has been proven challenging due to their high viscosity and heat sensitivity. Therefore, unlike the traditional tableting…
