Development of Ternary Amorphous Solid Dispersions Manufactured by Hot-Melt Extrusion and…
Producing amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) by hot-melt extrusion (HME) is favorable from an economic and ecological perspective but also limited to thermostable active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). A potential technology shift from spray-drying to hot-melt extrusion at later stages of drug…

Overcoming Challenges in Ophthalmic Formulations through Polymer Selection
Ophthalmic drugs are delivered to the eye to treat chronic diseases such as dry eye and acute conditions such as inflammation and infections.
The market for drugs administered to the eye is growing, in large part, due to our aging population and the increased prevalence of eye-related conditions…

Transdermal delivery of acemetacin loaded microemulsions: preparation, characterization, in vitro –…
The goal of this study was to see if microemulsions might be used as a transdermal drug delivery system for acemetacin (ACM). Microemulsions containing isopropyl myristate, Tween 80, Transcutol HP, Labrafil M1944 CS, ethanol, and distilled water were used to create pseudo-ternary phase diagrams. In…

A new perspective for psoriasis: Dithranol nanosponge loaded hydrogels
We developed dithranol nanosponge integrated Carbopol hydrogel (DTHNS-HG) as a novel perspective for psoriasis management. Dithranol was chosen as antipsoriatic moiety for this system. In this study, our objective was to fabricate and evaluate DTHNS-HG for in vivo anti-psoriatic activity using mouse…
