Effects of excipients on the interactions of self-emulsifying drug delivery systems with human blood…
Due to its versatility in formulation and manufacturing, self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS) can be used to design parenteral formulations. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the effects of excipients on the behavior of SEDDS formulations upon parenteral administration, particularly…

Chrono-tailored drug delivery systems: recent advances and future directions
Abstract
Circadian rhythms influence a range of biological processes within the body, with the central clock or suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in the brain synchronising peripheral clocks around the body. These clocks are regulated by external cues, the most influential being the light/dark cycle,…

Interactions between multifunctional pharmaceutical excipients and efflux pump for optimal drug…
Polymeric excipients ensure the site-specific delivery of the drug at the desired rate for a specified duration to achieve better efficacy. Pharmaceutical excipients were supposed to be pharmacologically inert, and must assure a controlled rate of delivery, an adjustable pharmacokinetic and…

Enhancing Oral Delivery of Biologics: A Non-Competitive and Cross-Reactive Anti-Leptin Receptor…
Abstract
Biotherapeutics exhibit high efficacy in targeted therapy, but their oral delivery is impeded by the harsh conditions of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and limited intestinal absorption. This article presents a strategy to overcome the challenges of poor intestinal permeability by using a…

De novo development of small cyclic peptides that are orally bioavailable
Abstract
Cyclic peptides can bind challenging disease targets with high affinity and specificity, offering enormous opportunities for addressing unmet medical needs. However, as with biological drugs, most cyclic peptides cannot be applied orally because they are rapidly digested and/or display low…
