A supercritical fluid, such as supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO) is increasingly used for the micronization of pharmaceuticals in the recent past. The role of scCO as a green solvent in supercritical fluid (SCF) process is decided by the solubility information of the pharmaceutical compound in scCO. The commonly used SCF processes are the rapid expansion of supercritical solution (RESS) and supercritical antisolvent precipitation (SAS).

In this study, for the first time, the coated tocosome by blend of chitosan, CS, and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), PNIPAAm, was developed as the efficient and robust drug delivery system with improved drug encapsulation efficiency, extended stability, proper particle size and industrial upscaling for Sunitinib malate anti-cancer drug. Tocosome was synthesized by using Mozafari method as a scalable and robust method and without the need for organic solvents. The effects of tocosome composition and drug concentration on the stability, particle size of tocosome, zeta potential, encapsulation efficacy and loading of drug into it were investigated by Taguchi method, and optimum composition was selected for combining with the polymeric blend.

One of the main steps in choosing the drug nanoparticle production processes by supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO) is determining the solubility of the solid solute. For this purpose, the solubility of Ketoconazole (KTZ) in the SC-CO, binary system, as well as in the SC-CO-menthol (cosolvent), ternary system, was measured at 308-338 K and 12-30 MPa using the static analysis method. The KTZ solubility in the SC-CO ranged between 0.

In this research, for the first time, molecular dynamics (MD) method was used to simulate aspirin and ibuprofen at various concentrations and in neutral and charged states. Effects of the concentration (dosage), charge state, and existence of an integral protein in the membrane on the diffusion rate of drug molecules into lipid bilayer membrane were investigated on 11 systems, for which the parameters indicating diffusion rate and those affecting the rate were evaluated. Considering the diffusion rate, a suitable score was assigned to each system, based on which, analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed.

By using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, biodegradable biopolymer chitosan as a carrier for the drug gemcitabine was investigated and the effect of three initial drug concentrations (10, 40, and 80%) on its loading efficiency was studied. Then water was added to the systems of drug and biopolymer and the effects of water on the interactions of drug and chitosan and on the drug loading efficiency were examined. From the results it was found that the maximum loading of the drug occurred at 40% of the drug concentration.
