Development of Orodispersible Tablets with Solid Dispersions of Fenofibrate and Co-Processed…
Abstract
Poor water solubility is an important challenge in the development of oral patient-friendly solid dosage forms. This study aimed to prepare orodispersible tablets with solid dispersions of a poorly water-soluble drug fenofibrate and a co-processed excipient consisting of mesoporous silica…

Superdisintegrants and their working mechanisms- by DFE Pharma
Superdisintegrants and their working mechanisms
Disintegrants and superdisintegrants are well-known excipients that are used in the formulation of oral dosage forms. They promote disintegration of tablets and capsule slugs when placed in an aqueous environment. Disintegration is the process of…

An approach for pH-independent release of poorly soluble ionizable drugs using hot melt extrusion
Hot melt extrudates with combinations of Soluplus® and Aqoat® AS-L or Eudragit® EPO were investigated to improve drug release and to overcome the pH-dependent release of poorly water-soluble basic (itraconazole, ITZ) and acidic (mefenamic acid, MFA) drugs. The release of ITZ was improved in both 0.1…

Comparative Study of Spray-Drying and Freeze-Drying Techniques for Increasing Fenofibrate’s…
Abstract
Background: Fenofibrate (FF) is a BCS class II compound whose poor solubility poses challenges in drug delivery and bioavailability. Solid self-micro emulsifying drug delivery systems (S-SMEDDS) have emerged as a promising solution to address these issues. These systems are aimed at…

Flexible modelling of the dissolution performance of directly compressed tablets
In this study, a compartmental disintegration and dissolution model is proposed for the prediction and evaluation of the dissolution performance of directly compressed tablets. This dissolution model uses three compartments (Bound, Disintegrated, and Dissolved) to describe the state of each particle…
