A Novel Combined Dry Powder Inhaler Comprising Nanosized Ketoprofen-Embedded Mannitol-Coated…
Pulmonary inflammations such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cystic fibrosis are widespread and can be fatal, especially when they are characterized by abnormal mucus accumulation. Inhaled corticosteroids are commonly used for lung inflammations despite their considerable side effects.…

Flexible Coatings Facilitate pH-Targeted Drug Release via Self-Unfolding Foils: Applications for…
Ingestible self-configurable proximity-enabling devices have been developed as a non-invasive platform to improve the bioavailability of drug compounds via swellable or self-unfolding devices. Self-unfolding foils support unidirectional drug release in close proximity to the intestinal epithelium,…

Orodispersible Films: Current Innovations and Emerging Trends
Abstract
Orodispersible films (ODFs) are thin, mechanically strong, and flexible polymeric films that are designed to dissolve or disintegrate rapidly in the oral cavity for local and/or systemic drug delivery. This review examines various aspects of ODFs and their potential as a drug delivery…

Design, optimization, and evaluation for a long-time-released transdermal microneedle delivery…
Transdermal drug delivery systems (TDDS) have drawbacks such as poor absorption, low blood concentration, and delayed effects. Dissolving microneedle has sharp tips and short length, which overcome patients’ pain and improve transdermal efficiency but has low mechanical strength and drug loading…

Interaction of thermal and rheological parameters critical for the processability of polyvinyl…
Purpose
Hot melt extrusion (HME) is a pivotal pharmaceutical manufacturing process employed to enhance the bioavailability of poorly soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in oral dosage forms. Often the applicability of the process is limited by the melt viscosity. The upper limit is…

Nintedanib solid lipid nanoparticles improve oral bioavailability and ameliorate pulmonary fibrosis…
Nintedanib (NIN) and pirfenidone are the only approved drugs for the treatment of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). However, NIN and pirfenidone have low oral bioavailability and limited therapeutic potential, requiring higher dosages to increase their efficacy, which causes significant liver and…

PVA as binder in continuous twin-screw granulation
Introduction
Granulation of powder blends is a commonly applied technique for pharmaceutical formulations which have no suitable flowability or compactability or are inhomogeneous with regards to the API content. Mainly wet granulation is applied3 and here, especially continuous twin-screw…
