Cyclodextrin

Roquette presented a new case study lately. See the use of KLEPTOSE® BioPharma Hydroxypropyl Beta-Cyclodextrin as a potential functional alternative to surfactants in the following: CHALLENGE Therapeutic proteins are inherently unstable and are sensitive to temperature change, shearing, shaking,…

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 challenges, we investigated the potential of β-cyclodextrin…

Febuxostat (FBX), a potent xanthine oxidase inhibitor, is widely used as a blood uric acid-reducing agent and has recently shown a promising repurposing outcome as an anti-cancer. FBX is known for its poor water solubility, which is the main cause of its weak oral bioavailability. In a previous…

Prilling/vibration technique to produce oral microcapsules was explored to achieve local delivery of misoprostol (MIS), a prostaglandin E1 analogue indicated for the treatment of gastric-duodenal ulcers, at the gastric mucosa. To improve MIS chemical stability and reduce its associated systemic side…

Abstract Flavors are considered among the most valuable ingredients in any formula. However, aromatic substances are volatile and can be lost during processing and storage. Thus, it is beneficial to develop strategies for their retention in formulations. The aim of the present study was to evaluate…
