Preparation of mesoporous silica nanoparticles by spray drying
Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are usually obtained by conventional sol-gel synthesis techniques, in a process that requires long reaction periods, and goes through many critical steps. Small variation in the synthesis conditions can modify the morphology, structural and textural…

Comparative study of Hot-Melt Extrusion, spray drying, and KinetiSol® processing to formulate a…
Abstract
Fenbendazole (FBZ), a benzimidazole-carbamate anthelmintic, shows promising chemotherapeutic properties. However, it is a poorly water-soluble molecule, leading to low and variable oral bioavailability. This study investigated hot-melt extrusion (HME), spray drying, and KinetiSol…
