Development, Physicochemical Characteristics and Pharmacokinetics of a New Sustained-Release Bilayer…
Abstract
Background and Objective
There are some potential concerns about the currently marketed solid oral dosage forms of tramadol, including decreased adherence to immediate-release (IR) formulations due to the high number of doses taken each day and the slow rise in the blood tramadol…

Preparation of Hot-Melt-Extruded Solid Dispersion Based on Pre-Formulation Strategies and Its…
In this study, an amorphous solid dispersion containing the poorly water-soluble drug, bisacodyl, was prepared by hot-melt extrusion to enhance its therapeutic efficacy. First, the miscibility and interaction between the drug and polymer were investigated as pre-formulation strategies using various…

Effect of Powdered Cellulose Nanofiber with Different Particle Sizes on the Physical Properties of…
Abstract
Direct compression is a tableting technique that involves a few steps in non-demanding manufacturing conditions. High strength and rapid disintegration of tablet formulations were previously achieved through the addition of cellulose nanofibers (CNFs), which have recently attracted…

Optimisation of the Manufacturing Process of Organic-Solvent-Free Omeprazole Enteric Pellets for the…
Abstract
Liquid formulations are mostly used in the paediatric population. However, with certain active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), it is very difficult to guarantee quality and stability; this is the case, for example, with omeprazole. Omeprazole is used as a model drug due to the lack of a…

Systems Biology and Peptide Engineering to Overcome Absorption Barriers for Oral Peptide Delivery:…
Abstract
Oral delivery of peptides and biological molecules promises significant benefits to patients as an alternative to daily injections, but the development of these formulations is challenging due to their low bioavailability and high pharmacokinetic variability. Our earlier work focused on…

The effect of polymeric binder type and concentration on flow and dissolution properties of SMEDDS…
Self-microemulsifying drug delivery systems (SMEDDS) are lipid-based formulations, designed to improve the solubility of poorly-water soluble drugs. Mesoporous silica is frequently used for SMEDDS solidification by various techniques. One of them is wet granulation, which enables achieving both high…
