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…

Abstract Genistein, a bioactive isoflavone, offers therapeutic potential but is hindered by poor water solubility, limiting its oral bioavailability. This study aimed to enhance genistein’s solubility by developing solid dispersion (SD) and formulating them into tablets. The SDs were prepared using…
