Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose acetate succinate (HPMCAS)
Preparation of core-shell controlled release tablets using direct powder extrusion 3D printing…
Three-dimensional printing (3DP) is a widely used technique to manufacture drug delivery systems due to its precision, efficiency, and tailored prescription capability. Although fused deposition modeling (FDM) is the most commonly used technique in the pharmaceutical sciences, there are several…

Impact of Hypromellose acetate succinate and Soluplus® on the performance of β-carotene solid…
Solid dispersions (SDs) possess the potential to enhance the bioavailability of insoluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) by effectively converting them into amorphous state. However, SDs have a tendency to recrystallize unless appropriate excipients are employed. The objective of this…

Advances in the Development of Amorphous Solid Dispersions: the Role of Polymeric Carriers
Amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) is one of the most effective approaches for delivering poorly soluble drugs. In ASDs, polymeric materials serve as the carriers in which the drugs are dispersed at the molecular level. To prepare the solid dispersions, there are many polymers with various…

In-situ formation of nanoparticles from drug-loaded 3D polymeric matrices
The in-situ formation of nanoparticles from polymer-based solid medicines, although previously described, has been overlooked despite its potential to interfere with oral drug bioavailability. Such polymeric pharmaceuticals are becoming increasingly common on the market and can become even more…

Spray Dried Progesterone Formulations for Carrier Free Dry Powder Inhalation
Low oral absorption and extensive first pass metabolism of progesterone is reported for many oral formulations which warrants investigation into other routes of administration. It is the aim of this study to investigate the generation of inhaled formulations of progesterone though a spray drying…

In vitro-in vivo relationship for amorphous solid dispersions using a double membrane…
The use of amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) is one commonly applied formulation strategy to improve the oral bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs by overcoming dissolution rate and/or solubility limitations. While bioavailability enhancement of ASDs is well documented, it has often been a…

Novel Applications of Hot Melt Extrusion Technology
Hot melt extrusion (HME) technology was introduced to pharmaceuticals in the 1970s for manufacturing and product development. Since then, there were several developments in HME technology to utilize it effectively for the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals. Though the primary purpose of HME technology…
