Mesoporous Silica as an Alternative Vehicle to Overcome Solubility Limitations
Abstract
Toxicological studies are a part of the drug development process and the preclinical stages, for which suitable vehicles ensuring easy and safe administration are crucial. However, poor aqueous solubility of drugs complicates vehicle screening for oral administration since non-aqueous…

High loading of lipophilic compounds in mesoporous silica for improved solubility and dissolution…
Loading poorly soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) into mesoporous silica can enable API stabilization in non-crystalline form, which leads to improved dissolution. This is particularly beneficial for highly lipophilic APIs (log D7.4 > 8) as these drugs often exhibit limited…

Impact of dry coating lactose as a brittle excipient on multi-component blend processability
Abstract
Previous work demonstrated the benefits of dry coating fine-grade microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) for enabling direct compression (DC), a favored tablet manufacturing method, due to enhanced flowability while retaining good compactability of placebo and binary blends of cohesive APIs.…

Fabrication and Optimization of Directly Compressible Self-Emulsifying Tablets Containing Cannabis…
Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol, which are present in cannabis extract, exhibit low bioavailability when administered orally due to significant first-pass metabolism. The use of a self-emulsifying drug delivery system (SEDDS) can enhance their dissolution and bioavailability. However, liquid…

In vitro and in vivo toxicity of thiolated and PEGylated organosilica nanoparticles
This study comprises the comprehensive toxicological assessment of thiolated organosilica nanoparticles (NPs) synthesised from 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTS). We investigated the influence of three different types of nanoparticles synthesised from 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane: the…

A Comprehensive Review of Disintegrants: Backbone of disintegration
Abstract
Strong attractive bonding forces works among the particles of solid dosage forms such as mechanical, solid and intermolecular and bioavailability of solid dosage form is preferentially dependent on in vivo disintegration then dissolution. This review is focused for disintegrating agents,…

Development of direct compression Acetazolamide tablet with improved bioavailability in healthy…
Abstract
Pharmaceutical cocrystallization has been widely used to improve physicochemical properties of APIs. However, developing cocrystal formulation with proven clinical success remains scarce. Successful translation of a cocrystal to suitable dosage forms requires simultaneously improvement of…

A dual catalytic functionalized hollow mesoporous silica-based nanocarrier coated with…
Abstract
In this study, we introduced a multifunctional hollow mesoporous silica-based nanocarrier (HMSN) for the targeted delivery of irinotecan (IRT) to colorectal cancer cells. Due to their large reservoirs, hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles are suitable platforms for loading significant…

Effect of the drying type on the properties of granules and tablets produced by high shear wet…
Although high shear mixers can represent a single-pot process, separate drying equipment is commonly employed. Limited literature exists on the use of a heating jacket coupled with a vacuum pump typically used in a single-pot setup, so this study compares the drying effects of a single-pot setup…
