Nintedanib solid lipid nanoparticles improve oral bioavailability and ameliorate pulmonary fibrosis…
Nintedanib (NIN) and pirfenidone are the only approved drugs for the treatment of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). However, NIN and pirfenidone have low oral bioavailability and limited therapeutic potential, requiring higher dosages to increase their efficacy, which causes significant liver and…

Development of a new inhaled swellable microsphere system for the dual delivery of naringenin-loaded…
Abstract
This study developed a new dual delivery system of naringenin (NRG), a polyphenol, and doxofylline (DOX), a xanthine derivative, as an inhaled microsphere system. In this system, NRG has been first loaded into glyceryl tristearate-based solid lipid nanoparticles (NRG SLN), which were…

Breaking barriers: Intranasal delivery of brexpiprazole-nanostructured lipid carriers targets the…
With a peak occurrence in mid-teens to early adulthood, schizophrenia is one of the most debilitating illnesses, distinguished by hallucinations, dementia, psychosis, and delirium. According to figures from the World Health Organization, there are 21 million people who have schizophrenia worldwide,…

Anti-Inflammatory Drug Repurposing for Intranasal Delivery: Ketoprofen Nanoemulgel Development for…
The anti-inflammatory drug ketoprofen has shown promising results in the field of drug repurposing for the treatment of brain cancer, but currently developed formulations are for invasive administration (intravenous) and have very limited drug strength. Hence, the purpose of this work was to develop…

A new stable and bioactive formulation of Geniotrigona thoracia propolis microemulsion for oral…
Abstract
Propolis, particularly those produced by stingless bees, is known to have a broad range of medicinal benefits due to its antioxidant properties. However, its strong and unpleasant flavour and sticky texture make it less palatable. This study aimed to improve the oral administration of…

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.…
