In-depth studies on essential oil–based nanoemulsions (NEs) have centered on a variety of oral health issues. NEs improve the delivery of nonpolar active agents to sites and thereby boost the dissolution and distribution of the agents. Metronidazole-peppermint oil-tranexamic acid…

The utilization of co-processed excipients (CPEs) represents a novel approach to the preparation of orally disintegrating tablets by direct compression. Flow, consolidation, and compression properties of four lactose-based CPEs - Cellactose® 80, CombiLac®, MicroceLac® 100, and StarLac®- were…

Polysorbates are widely used as non-ionic surfactant in biopharmaceutical formulations. Recently, the degradation of polysorbate moved into the focus of attention, because in several published studies it was described, that stability issues in polysorbate containing formulations were observed…

Fenofibrate is an effective lipid-lowering drug; however, its poor solubility and high log p (5.2) result in insufficient absorption from the gastrointestinal tract, leading to poor bioavailability. In this study, a one-step continuous twin-screw melt granulation process was investigated to improve…

Current therapy of tuberculosis (TB) has several limitations, such as risk of liver injury and intestinal dysbiosis due to frequent oral administration of antibiotics. Transdermal administration could be used to improve antibiotic delivery for treatment of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.…

The fundamental principle of Quality by Design (QbD) is that the product quality should be designed into the process through an upstream approach, rather than be tested in the downstream. The keystone of QbD is process modeling, and thus, to develop a process control strategy based on the…
