HPC – hydroxypropyl cellulose

In this work, the feasibility of implementing a process analytical technology (PAT) platform consisting of Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIR) and particle size distribution (PSD) analysis was evaluated for the prediction of granule downstream processability. A Design of Experiments-based calibration…

Abstract Liquid formulations are mostly used in the paediatric population. However, with certain active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), it is very difficult to guarantee quality and stability; this is the case, for example, with omeprazole. Omeprazole is used as a model drug due to the lack of a…

In-depth studies on essential oil–based nanoemulsions (NEs) have centered on a variety of oral health issues. NEs improve the delivery of nonpolar active agents to sites and thereby boost the dissolution and distribution of the agents. Metronidazole-peppermint oil-tranexamic acid…

Introduction Thin films are polymeric strips that disintegrate in the oral cavity and consist of a film-forming agent and an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). Generally, thin films disintegrate within seconds, but their composition can be modified to allow slower disintegration and release of…
