PLGA Implants for Controlled Drug Delivery and Regenerative Medicine: Advances, Challenges, and…
Abstract
Poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) implants have become a cornerstone in drug delivery and regenerative medicine due to their biocompatibility, tunable degradation, and capacity for sustained, localized therapeutic release. Recent innovations in polymer design, fabrication methods, and…

Formulation and evaluation of HPMC and pullulan-based rapidly dissolving films containing…
Abstract
Cilnidipine is used to treat hypertension. However, it has poor solubility and undergoes extensive first-pass metabolism, which leads to poor bioavailability. This work aimed to prepare rapidly dissolving films (RDFs) containing nanosuspension of CLD with HPMC and pullulan as film-formers.…

An Experimental Design Approach for Producing Curcumin-Loaded Solid Lipid Nanoparticles
Abstract
Background/Objectives: Curcumin has well-established efficacy in a variety of disorders due to its prominent antioxidant, antiaging, anti-inflammatory, chemosensitizing, and anticancer activities. Despite its numerous benefits, curcumin exhibits low bioavailability mainly due to its poor…

Enhanced in vivo performance of topical ocular acetazolamide nanocrystals: A novel approach for…
High intraocular pressure (IOP) is the main risk factor for glaucoma progression. Acetazolamide (AZM) presents a potent IOP-lowering effect but is only administered orally due to its low aqueous solubility and ocular permeability. This study aimed to develop AZM nanocrystals (AZM-NC) as an…

A Mini-Review on Enhancing Solubility in Topical Hydrogel Formulations Using Solid Dispersion…
Abstract
The solubility behavior of drugs is a critical factor in formulation development. Approximately 40–45% of new drugs face market entry challenges due to low water solubility. Enhancing drug bioavailability is thus essential in developing pharmaceutical dosage forms. Many biopharmaceutical…

Nanostructured Strategies for Melanoma Treatment—Part II: Targeted Topical Delivery of Curcumin via…
Abstract
Background/Objectives: Curcumin (CUR) is a natural compound with notable antitumor properties but faces limitations in topical applications due to poor aqueous solubility, instability, and insufficient skin penetration. To overcome these challenges, a nanomicellar formulation…

Bespoke hydroxypropyl methylcellulose-based solid foams loaded with poorly soluble drugs by tunable…
Abstract
A tunable modular design (TMD) as a new approach was proposed to tailor the dose and drug release profile of poorly water-soluble drugs from hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)-based solid foams by combining two manufacturing principles:
(1) freeze-drying aqueous HPMC-based gels to…

Autoclaving behavior of trimyristin nanoemulsions stabilized with different poloxamers
Abstract
Lipid nanoemulsions are being investigated as carrier systems for the parenteral administration of poorly soluble drugs. Defined particle sizes, narrow particle size distributions, and sterility are prerequisites for the safe administration of such formulations to patients. In the current…
