Acrylic Polymers

The current study is aimed at the development of chrono modulated multiple unit particulate systems (MUPS) of nifedipine (ND) by a continuous double extrusion process. ND, a poorly soluble drug, was formulated into an amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) to improve its solubility. Further, the ASD was…

This work reports the preliminary development of paroxetine-containing formulations amenable to hot-melt extrusion coupled to fused deposition modelling-based 3D printing. Polymeric matrices were used alone, or added with processing enhancers (e.g., plasticizer and filler). The polymeric formulation…

Dose dumping is the major drawback of sustained release (SR) matrices. The current research aimed to develop the stable lipid-based SR matrices of quetiapine fumarate (QTF) using GeleolTM (glyceryl monostearate; GMS) as the lipid matrix carrier and KlucelTM EF (HPC EF), Kollidon® VA64, and Kollidon®…

An efficacious topical treatment for cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is highly desirable but still an ongoing challenge. Systemic risedronate (Ris) has been reported to have anti-leishmanial properties and Eudragit EPO (EuE) has shown in vitro activity against L. (L.) amazonensis. The aim of this work…
