Efavirenz (EFV) is an anti-HIV drug with high dose and 40% oral bioavailability (BA). The aim was to improve the bioavailability by designing cationic solid SMEDDS. Solubility data, ternary phase diagrams, and central composite design were employed in design. Globule size, TEM, DSC, and SEM studies…

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are harmful by-products of thermal-processing of food. Betanin is an antioxidant with the potential to inhibit AGEs formation. In this work, we encapsulated betanin in chitosan-sodium tripolyphosphate coated quaternary ammonium-functionalized mesoporous silica…
