The primary objective of the research effort is to establish efficient solid self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (S-SNEDDS) for benidipine (BD) through the systematic application of a quality-by-design (QbD)-based paradigm. Utilizing…

Hot melt extrusion (HME) is a common unit operation. It is broadly applicable in the pharmaceutical industry and can be implemented in a continuous manufacturing line. However, the conventional way of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API)…

1. Pharmaceutical 3D printing Recent advancements in the area of 3D printing (3DP) have prompted scientists to test and evaluate the technology's applicability in the medical sector. Drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, tissue and…

Achieving high solubilization capacity with the aid of polymeric micelles (PM) is still a major challenge. To address this shortcoming, novel poly(jasmine lactone) (PJL)-based PM were developed and compared with Soluplus® and poly(lactide)…

Freeze drying is cool - literally! It's the only method of drying that doesn't require raising the temperature of a sample and it works by using sublimation. And water only sublimes because it has a triple point. So if you want to…

Drying means the removal of water (or other solvent) from a sample, but why do we do that and how does it work? In this video, Pharma Drama helps you to Get Drying Sorted! We'll explain why we dry materials, how drying methods work, explain…
