Self-microemulsifying system of an ethanolic extract of Heliopsis longipes root for enhanced…
Abstract
Self-microemulsifying or self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (SMEDDS/SNEDDS) are well known to improve the dissolution and increase the oral bioavailability of hydrophobic drugs, including herbal extracts. Organic extracts of Heliopsis longipes root and affinin, its main component,…

Statistically developed stable Camptothecin-loaded Soluplus/TPGS mixed micelles for improved ovarian…
In this research, Camptothecin-loaded mixed micelles (CPT-MMs) were formulated by combining Soluplus®, a novel amphiphilic excipient, with D-alpha-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS). The use of appropriate excipients is crucial in stabilizing micellar structures and improving drug…

Liquid API Feeding in Pharmaceutical HME: Novel Options in Solid Dosage Manufacturing
Hot melt extrusion (HME) is a common unit operation. It is broadly applicable in the pharmaceutical industry and can be implemented in a continuous manufacturing line. However, the conventional way of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) feeding with a pre-blend consisting of a powdered API and a…

Solusomes (novel Soluplus® enriched nano-vesicular carriers) for improving the oral bioavailability…
Candesartan cilexetil (CAN) is administered for treating hypertension and heart failure. CAN suffers poor oral bioavailability, owing to limited aqueous solubility, and first-pass metabolism. Solusomes (novel Soluplus® enriched nano-vesicular carriers) combine the merits of Soluplus®, and the…

Comparison of Two Grafted Copolymers, Soluplus and Kollicoat IR, as Solid Dispersion Carriers of…
Arteether (ART), an antimalarial drug, belongs to BCS class II and has very low oral bioavailability. Clinically, it is given as a solution in oil by the intramuscular route. Solid dispersion in Soluplus or Kollicoat IR, two commonly used grafted copolymers, may improve its in vitro dissolution and…

The step-wise dissolution method: An efficient DSC-based protocol for verification of predicted…
Abstract
The development of an amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) is a promising strategy for improving the low bioavailability of many poorly water-soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). The construction of a temperature–composition (T–C) phase diagram for an API–polymer combination is…
