In situ triggered, floating delivery systems of capsaicin for prolonged gastroprotection
Abstract
Capsaicin (CAP) has been implicated as a gastroprotective agent in the treatment of peptic ulcers. However, its oral administration is hampered by its poor aqueous solubility and caustic effect at high administered doses. To address these limitations, we describe the development of gastric…

Impact testing as a new approach to determine mechanical strength of pharmaceutical tablets
Abstract
One of the most common standardised testing of tablet strength in the pharmaceutical industry is the tablet breaking force, which records data related to diametrical compression. This method does not account for a rapid transfer of energy such as free-falling tablets hitting a solid…
