Oils have been used by the pharmaceutical industry for decades. From parenteral nutrition to soft gel formulations, oils play a key role in a wide range of pharmaceutical products. With an ever increasing number of new drug candidates with poor aqueous solubility and poor oral bioavailability, oils are very attractive candidates to solve real challenges for the formulators.

Transformative solidification techniques for self-emulsifying drug delivery and its foresight in…
Abstract
Self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDSs) represent a significant breakthrough in addressing bioavailability
challenges by enhancing the solubilization of poorly water-soluble drugs, ensuring consistent formulation properties,
and facilitating easy industrial scale-up. Despite…

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…
