In Situ Gels for Nasal Delivery: Formulation, Characterization and Applications
Abstract
The nasal route offers many advantages for drug delivery: quick onset of action, better patient compliance, avoidance of first-pass metabolism and bypassing the blood-brain barrier. Despite the potential of this route, several challenges exist, such as the short drug retention time…

Mucoadhesive gellan gum/poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) films for ocular delivery of pilocarpine…
Abstract
The study aims to develop new prolonged delivery systems of pilocarpine hydrochloride (pilocarpine⸱HCl) for the therapy of glaucoma. Polymer films based on gellan gum (GG) and its mixtures with poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) (POZ) at different ratios were prepared by casting. The films were…

Colon targeting in rats, dogs and IBD patients with species-independent film coatings
Polysaccharides were identified, which allow for colon targeting in human Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) patients, as well as in rats and dogs (which are frequently used as animals in preclinical studies). The polysaccharides are degraded by colonic enzymes (secreted by bacteria), triggering the…

In Situ Gelling Nasal Drug Delivery System
Abstract
In the nasal cavity, nasal mucosa had a high blood perfusion rate, due to this the absorption of the drug is high as compared to other routes, as well as has increased good bioavailability of drugs at the systemic circulation. To improve the nasal retention time of in-situ gel with nasal…

Easy Tableting with Natural Disintegrants
Evaluation of a new disintegrant mixture from natural resources
Introduction
Tablet disintegration is most often required to divide a tablet into suitably small sub-units that facilitate achievement of the desired drug dissolution rate. While semi-synthetic or synthetic super-disintegrants are…

Evaluation of Oromucosal Natural Gum-Based Emulgels as Novel Strategy for Photodynamic Therapy of…
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) recently has been shown as a promising option in the treatment of premalignant lesions of the soft oral tissues. Effective delivery of photosensitizer is challenging due to poor drug adherence to the oromucosal epithelium. In the present work, emulgels composed of natural…
