Formulation optimization of chitosan surface coated solid lipid nanoparticles of griseofulvin: A Box-Behnken design and in vivo pharmacokinetic study.

Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) are becoming increasingly favored for their robust biocompatibility and their capacity to enhance drug solubility, particularly for drugs with limited water solubility. This study delves into the effectiveness of the hot melt sonication technique in fabricating SLNs with high drug loading capabilities and sustained release characteristics. Griseofulvin (GF), chosen as a representative drug due to its poor water solubility, was encapsulated into SLNs composed of stearic acid.

Transforming Lung Cancer Care: The Role of Transferosomes in Modern Drug Delivery.

Cancer stands as one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and lung cancer represents its most aggressive and persistent form. Traditional strategies for addressing lung cancer involve various medical therapies such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and surgical excision. Despite their prevalence, these conventional methods lack precision and inadvert-ently cause collateral damage to neighboring healthy cells.

Design and evaluation of magnetic-targeted bilosomal gel for rheumatoid arthritis: flurbiprofen delivery using superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles.

Introduction: The study aimed to systematically enhance the fabrication process of flurbiprofen-loaded bilosomes (FSB) using Quality by Design (QbD) principles and Design of Experiments (DOE). The objective was to develop an optimized formulation with improved entrapment efficiency and targeted drug delivery capabilities.

Methods: The optimization process involved applying QbD principles and DOE to achieve the desired formulation characteristics.

A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Eltrombopag Efficacy Combined With Immunosuppressive Drugs in Treatment of Severe Aplastic Anemia.

Severe aplastic anemia (SAA) is a life-threatening disorder with high mortality. The only curative treatment is hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), but it is mainly for young patients with suitable donors. The alternative is immunosuppressive therapy (IST), which can improve blood counts in about 58% of patients, but many relapse after discontinuation.

Enhancing flowability of lamivudine through quasi-emulsion solvent-diffusion (QESD) crystallization: A comprehensive study on surfactant impact, particle morphology by QbD concepts and tablet compression challenges.

Lamivudine (LMD), an enantiomer of 2'-deoxy-3'-thiacytidine, plays a crucial role in combatting HIV-1 and managing hepatitis B virus infections. Despite its effectiveness, challenges arise from its difficult flowability and tendency to agglomerate during storage, necessitating a granulation step before tablet compression, as direct compression has proven ineffective. This study aimed to optimize Lamivudine spherical agglomerates using response surface methodology, delving into the intricate relationship between design factors (concentration of tween, span, and acetone) and experimental outcomes (yield and particle size) through central composite design.
