Microemulsions: An Encapsulation Strategy to Increase the Thermal Stability of D-limonene
D-limonene, derived from citrus essential oils, holds significant therapeutic potential but faces challenges due to its high volatility, especially in pharmaceutical formulations. This study investigates microemulsions as a promising delivery system for volatile compounds, emphasizing their thermal…

Stability study of spray freeze-dried insulin dry powder formulations used for nose-to-brain…
Insulin is classified as a cold chain product due to being a peptide hormone with stability issues in the liquid preparation. Therefore, insulin was developed into the dry powder form to improve the stability and application for nose-to-brain delivery in Alzheimer’s disease treatment. Insulin was…

Nanosuspensions as carriers of active ingredients: Chemical composition, development methods, and…
Nanosuspensions (NSps) are colloidal dispersions of particles that have the potential to solve the delivery problems of active ingredients associated with their low solubility in water or instability due to environmental factors. It is essential to consider their chemical composition and preparation…

Use of Excipients in Downstream Processing to Improve Protein Purification
Excipients are used to improve the stability of protein-based therapeutics by protecting the protein against a range of stress conditions such as temperature changes, pH changes, or agitation. Similar stresses are applied to proteins during downstream purification. Shifts in pH during Protein A…

Bacteriophage entrapped chitosan microgel for biofilm-mediated poly bacterial infection in burn…
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) bacteria are most commonly present in burn wound infections. Multidrug resistance (MDR) and biofilm formation make it difficult to treat these infections. Bacteriophages (BPs) are proven as an effective therapy against MDR…

Development of a Carvedilol Oral Liquid Formulation for Paediatric Use
Carvedilol (CARV) is an ‘off-label’ β-blocker drug to treat cardiovascular diseases in children. Since CARV is nearly insoluble in water, only CARV solid forms are commercialized. Usually, CARV tablets are manipulated to prepare an extemporaneous liquid formulation for children in hospitals. We…

Drug‑Excipient Compatibility Study Through a Novel Vial‑in‑Vial Experimental Setup: A Benchmark…
Abstract
Drug-excipient compatibility study (DECS) is one of the critical steps during pre-formulation studies to select the appropriate excipient to obtain a stable formulation/dosage form. As such, there is no recommended guideline for DECS. Further, the previously reported studies and protocols…
