Presence of gluten and soy derived excipients in medicinal products and their implications on…
Abstract
Gluten and soy allergies are significant health concerns, particularly in individuals with celiac disease or soy sensitivity. While dietary sources of these allergens are well-studied, their presence in medicinal products remains under-explored. This study assessed the prevalence of gluten…

Unveiling the Potential of Nanosuspension Formulation Strategy for Improved Oral Bioavailability of…
Abstract
Gefitinib (GB), an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor suffers major setbacks in clinical application due to limited aqueous solubility leading to poor oral bioavailability. Nanosuspension serves as a promising formulation strategy to overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks. Hence, the present…

Focus on the importance of the process parameters: Temperature cycles and “shock” water addition…
Abstract
The phase inversion temperature method is one of the formulation processes to elaborate nanomedicine based on lipid nanoparticles. This process was used in numerous studies in literature, changing the nature of the ingredients to ensure good encapsulation efficiencies of various drugs.…

Understanding Microemulsions and Nanoemulsions in (Trans)Dermal Delivery
Abstract
Continuously explored in pharmaceuticals, microemulsions and nanoemulsions offer drug delivery opportunities that are too significant to ignore, namely safe delivery of clinically relevant drug doses across biological membranes. Their effectiveness as drug vehicles in mucosal and…

Ritonavir loaded solid lipid nanoparticles for oral drug delivery and bioavailability enhancement
Abstract
Background
Ritonavir is an anti-retroviral protease inhibitor to treat HIV, AIDS infections.
Methods
The RN-SLNs were prepared by using hot homogenization followed ultrasonication method and optimized by using a two-factor, three-level central composte design (CCD). The independent…

3D Printed pH-responsive Colonic Capsules for the Delivery of Live Aqueous Bacterial Suspensions
Abstract
Delivering live bacterial therapeutics to the colon orally is challenging due to the harsh gastrointestinal (GI) conditions and/or the manufacturing processes involved in the production of dry formulations, which can drastically decrease cell viability. In previous work, we evaluated the…

Dual action tofacitinib-loaded PLGA nanoparticles alleviate colitis in an IBD mouse model
Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) affects over 7 million people worldwide and significant side effects are associated with current therapies such as tofacitinib citrate (TFC), which is linked to increased risks of malignancy and congestive heart issues. To mitigate these systemic adverse…

Imaging-Based Drug Penetration Profiling in an Excised Sheep Cornea Model
Abstract
Formulations designed to address ocular conditions and diseases are predominantly administered topically. While in vitro test systems have been developed to assess corneal permeation under extended contact conditions, methods focusing on determining the penetration depth and kinetics of a…

Labrafac MC60 is an efficacious intestinal permeation enhancer for macromolecules: Comparisons with…
Labrafac™ MC60 (glycerol monocaprylocaprate) is a lipid-based excipient used in oral formulations as a solubiliser. Due to the high proportions of established permeability enhancers, caprylate (C8) and caprate (C10), in Labrafac™ MC60, we hypothesised that it might behave as an intestinal permeation…
