Whey proteins are extensively used as nutritional supplements but have so far not been investigated as co-formers for amorphous solid dispersions (ASD) to enhance the solubility and dissolution rate of poorly water soluble drugs. In this study, whey protein isolate (WPI) and whey protein hydrolysate…

To improve liquid formulation stability, formulators employ various excipients designed to stabilize protein drugs, including buffers, salts, sugars, and surfactants. One of the roles of surfactants is to protect the protein drug from surface interactions that can destabilize the protein. Protein…

The purpose of this study was to develop liquid and solid paediatric formulations of sodium dichloroacetate (DCA) for the treatment of congenital lactic acidosis (CLA). In this work preformulation studies on the active molecule were performed to identify those physico-chemical properties of the drug…

Spray drying is increasingly becoming recognized as an efficient drying and formulation technique for pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical processing. It offers significant economic and processing advantages compared to lyophilisation/freeze-drying techniques even though the optimisation of process…

Pharmaceutical excipients are no longer considered inert and have been shown to influence the activity of metabolic enzymes and transporters, resulting in altered pharmacokinetics of substrate drugs. In this study, the effect of 25 excipients commonly used in drug formulations were investigated for…
