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…

Development of inhalation powders containing lactic acid bacteria with antimicrobial activity…
Abstract
Objectives
The aim of the project was to develop and characterise powders containing a probiotic (Lactiplantibacillus plantarum , Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus, or Lactobacillus acidophilus) to be administered to the lung for the containment of pathogen growth in patients with lung…

Drying liquids – Selecting the best technology for nutraceuticals
The desired end product properties can make a difference when choosing between spray drying or spray granulation
Both spray drying and fluid bed spray granulation can be used to convert liquid products into bulk materials. The most effective process will often be dictated by the desired properties…

Design of Redispersible High-Drug-Load Amorphous Formulations: Impact of Ionic vs Nonionic…
Amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) are an enabling formulation approach used to enhance bioavailability of poorly water-soluble molecules in oral drug products. Drug-rich amorphous nanoparticles generated in situ during ASD dissolution maintain supersaturation that drives enhanced absorption.…

Design of experiments approach on the compaction properties of co-amorphous tablets
Co-amorphous systems are an evolving strategy to stabilize the amorphous form of a drug molecule with the aim of overcoming its poor water-solubility. With research focussing on the molecular level of co-amorphous systems, little is known about their downstream processing. In this study, tablets of…

Evaluation of a Three-Fluid Nozzle Spraying Process for Facilitating Spray Drying of Hydrophilic…
Abstract
Amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) enable formulations to improve the solubility of poorly soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). The amorphous state is reached through the disruption of the crystalline lattice of an API resulting in an increased apparent solubility with faster…

Smart nano-in-microparticles to tackle bacterial infections in skin tissue engineering
Chronic wounds (resulting from underlying disease, metabolic disorders, infections, trauma, and even tumours) pose significant health problems. In this work, microparticles, based on polysaccharides (maltodextrin or dextran) and amino acids, and doped with antibacterial nanoparticles (CuO or ZnO…

A dry powder formulation for peripheral lung delivery and absorption of an anti-SARS-CoV-2 ACE2…
One of the strategies proposed for the neutralization of SARS-CoV-2 has been to synthetize small proteins able to act as a decoy towards the virus spike protein, preventing it from entering the host cells. In this work, the incorporation of one of these proteins, LCB1, within a spray-dried…
