Background And Purpose: Sorafenib tosylate (SFN), a potent multikinase inhibitor, is used for the treatment of various cancers. However, it shows limited therapeutic applications due to its poor biopharmaceutical properties. The aim of the present investigation is to develop surface solid dispersion (SSD) of SFN using adsorbent to improve its solubility, bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy.

Background: Current therapy for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is unable to prevent progression of disease due to continuous infusions and multiple oral administrations. This resulted in the need of novel treatment which would target directly structural vascular changes that weaken blood flow through pulmonary circulation.

Objective: The objective of present study was to develop spray dried (SD) formulation for dry powder inhaler (DPI) with enhanced aerosol performance and lung deposition by using novel bioactive, andrographolide (AGP) and carrier, scleroglucan (SCLG) with improved antihypertensive activity.
