Solid lipid discs from water-in-oil emulsion as controlled release delivery systems of highly…
Abstract
Solid lipid systems (SLSs) are widely employed to control the release of highly hydrophilic drugs, and they are, in general, obtained by solubilizing or suspending the drug within melted lipid excipients. This work proposes an advantageous strategy to modulate the drug release of a…

A case study on the use of end-to-end real-time monitoring to ensure quality of oral solid dosage…
Abstract
The integration of Process Analytical Technology (PAT) into pharmaceutical process development has become a critical focus since the issuance of FDA PAT guidance in 2004. While PAT applications for blend uniformity (BU) and content uniformity (CU) are well-established, their utilization in…

Simultaneous Determination and Quantification of Nine Nitrosamine Impurities in Semi-Solid Forms…
Abstract
Many studies are being conducted on the detection of nitrosamine impurities in solid formulations. However, research on semi-solid formulations such as gels, ointments and creams is not common. In particular, excipients used to increase viscosity and add fragrance can significantly impact…

Unlocking the potential of microfluidic assisted formulation of exenatide-loaded solid lipid…
Abstract
Exenatide, a first-in-class GLP-1 receptor agonist, is used to control glycaemic levels in type 2 diabetes. There are two approved injectable formulations: one solution for immediate action and one dispersion for prolonged action. Oral exenatide has low bioavailability due to poor…

Impact of stabilizers on particle size and dispersion behavior in biorelevant media in solid…
Abstract
Nanocrystalline formulations typically contain stabilizing additives to minimize the risk of particle growth or agglomeration. This risk is particularly relevant when the nanosuspension is converted into a solid drug product as the original state of the nanosuspension should be restored…

Ritonavir loaded solid lipid nanoparticles for oral drug delivery and bioavailability enhancement
Abstract
Background
Ritonavir is an anti-retroviral protease inhibitor to treat HIV, AIDS infections.
Methods
The RN-SLNs were prepared by using hot homogenization followed ultrasonication method and optimized by using a two-factor, three-level central composte design (CCD). The independent…
