Development and Characterization of Celecoxib Solid Self-nanoemulsifying Drug Delivery Systems…
Self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (SNEDDS) represent an interesting platform for improving the oral bioavailability of poorly soluble lipophilic drugs. While Liquid-SNEDDS (L-SNEDDS) effectively solubilize the drug in vivo, they have several drawbacks, including poor storage stability.…

The Use of Sodium Alginate in Extended Release Tablet Formulations
Extended release tablets are commonly based on partially synthetic cellulose ethers, such as hypromellose (HPMC), hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), or hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC). Alginates offer an interesting, all-natural alternative to these polymers. The aim of the present study was to…

Bacterial Cellulose – Adaptation of a Nature-Identical Material to the Needs of Advanced…
Modern wound treatment calls for hydroactive dressings. Among the variety of materials that have entered the field of wound care in recent years, the carbohydrate polymer bacterial cellulose (BC) represents one of the most promising candidates as the biomaterial features a high moisture-loading and…

Polymer selection to increase in vitro supersaturation generated by lamotrigine nicotinamide…
Cocrystals can improve drug dissolution by generating supersaturated drug delivery systems. However, supersaturation is a high-energetic state with a tendency to precipitate. Polymers are used as precipitation inhibitors to inhibit nucleation or crystal growth. Our aim was to evaluate the influence…

Cellulose nanofibers/PVA blend polymeric beads containing in-situ prepared magnetic nanorods as dye…
Magnetic beads were developed from polyvinyl alcohol and different amounts of cellulose nanofibers (CNF) by in-situ preparation of iron oxide nanoparticles in an alkaline aqueous medium at room temperature. The CNF were isolated from wheat straw, whereas the magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) precursors…

Preparation and Evaluation of Extended-Release Nanofibers Loaded with Pramipexole as a Novel Oral…
Purpose
Pramipexole (Prami) is renowned as one of the most widely used drugs in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. This study aimed to prepare slow-release nanofibers of Prami to reduce (or control) the release rate of the drug from the formulation.
Methods
For this purpose, polyvinyl alcohol…

Size-dependent filling effect of crystalline celluloses in structural engineering of composite…
Oleogels are a class of solid-fat mimetics that contain a large fraction of oil. Most of these materials have low stiffness and poor oil-binding capacity at commercially viable concentrations, which limits their application in the food and cosmetic industries. To improve their mechanical behavior,…
