Purpose: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder that poses significant challenges regarding effective and targeted drug delivery. Bioactive substances like betulin have shown tremendous utility in treating these conditions; however, they pose limited utility owing to their physicochemical characteristics. Here, we aimed to develop a novel topical dosage form for treating psoriasis, utilising betulin-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (NLCs) incorporated into a hydrogel matrix.

Glyburide, a sulfonylurea derivative, widely used as hypoglycaemic agent. In the present study, an attempt has been made to investigate the most effective third component which can be used with hydroxylpropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCd) to form a ternary complex with glyburide in order to enhance its dissolution rate, as well as reduce the amount of HPβCd used for formulating the binary complex with glyburide. Moreover, the objective of this study was also to develop a discriminatory dissolution media in order to discriminate the effect of the different solubilizing agents used for formulating the ternary complex system.

The objective of this study was to identify and optimize formulation and process variables affecting characteristic and scale-up of nanosuspension manufacturing process on bead mill considering industrial perspective. Formulation factors evaluated were ratio of polymer to drug and ratio of surfactant to drug, whereas process parameters were milling time and milling speed. Responses measured in this study include zeta potential and mean particle size d(90).

The objective of the present investigation is to develop and validate a simple, economical and reliable high performance liquid chromatography method for the quantification of quetiapine (CAS 111974-72-2) in human plasma with a quantification limit sufficiently low to support pharmacokinetic studies. Imipramine hydrochloride (CAS 113-52-0) was used as internal standard. The validated method allows quantification of quetiapine in 15-1000 ng/mL.
