Cilostazol Solubilization and Stabilization Using a Polymer-Free Solid Dispersion System
The development of pH-independent drugs is difficult because it involves improvements in their solubility and dissolution (%) in solubilizer. In the present study, the pH-independent cilostazol (CLT) was formulated for enhanced solubility and dissolution (%) and for maintaining stability with…

Mucoadhesive nanostructured lipid carriers as a cannabidiol nasal delivery system for the treatment…
The therapeutic potential of cannabidiol (CBD) has been explored to treat several pathologies, including those in which pain is prevalent. However, the oral bioavailability of CBD is low owing to its high lipophilicity and extensive first-pass metabolism. Considering the ability of the nasal route…

Molecular Simulation and Statistical Learning Methods toward Predicting Drug–Polymer Amorphous Solid…
Amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) have emerged as widespread formulations for drug delivery of poorly soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Predicting the API solubility with various carriers in the API–carrier mixture and the principal API–carrier non-bonding interactions are critical…

Gastro-retentive drug delivery systems: a recent update on clinical pertinence and drug delivery
Gastro-retentive drug delivery systems are some of the best technologies delivered through oral route. These mainly came into picture for their effective local action in the GI region, specifically for the drugs with narrow absorption window. In the recent decades, several technologies have evolved…

Novel Drug Delivery Systems Fighting Glaucoma: Formulation Obstacles and Solutions
Glaucoma is considered to be one of the biggest health problems in the world. It is the main cause of preventable blindness due to its asymptomatic nature in the early stages on the one hand and patients’ non-adherence on the other. There are several approaches in glaucoma treatment, whereby this…

Exploring precipitation inhibitors to improve in vivo absorption of cinnarizine from supersaturated…
Supersaturated lipid-based drug delivery systems are increasingly being explored as a bio-enabling formulation approach, particularly in preclinical evaluation of poorly-water soluble drugs. While increasing the drug load through thermally-induced supersaturation resulted in enhanced in vivo…

Rheological and Drug Delivery Characteristics of Poloxamer-Based Diclofenac Sodium Formulations for…
Chronic wounds are a significant and growing health problem, and clinical treatment is often a painful experience. A topical dosage form would be optimal to treat this pain. Poloxamer 407, a thermosensitive polymer that is a liquid at low temperatures but gels at higher temperatures, is well suited…

An Update on Pharmaceutical Strategies for Oral Delivery of Therapeutic Peptides and Proteins in…
While each route of therapeutic drug delivery has its own advantages and limitations, oral delivery is often favored because it offers convenient painless administration, sustained delivery, prolonged shelf life, and often lower manufacturing cost. Its limitations include mucus and epithelial cell…

Solubilization of tadalafil using a tartaric acid and chitosan-based multi-system
Solubilization studies of tadalafil (TDF) have recently improved the dissolution (%) using weak acids and bases in our group. However, the weak acid formulations have a low dissolution (%) of TDF as limitation. Thus, the purpose of this study was to improve the dissolution (%) of TDF over 90% in…

Potential of solid dispersions to enhance solubility, bioavailability, and therapeutic efficacy of…
In the last few decades, solid dispersion (SD) technology had been studied as an approach to produce an amorphous carrier to enhance the solubility, dissolution rate, and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs. The use of suitable carrier and methodology in the preparation of SDs play a…
