Enteric-coated microcapsules can protect roxithromycin (ROX) from acid hydrolysis enhancing efficacy, solubility, and dissolution rate, representing a promising oral formulation for children and patients with swallowing difficulties. ROX-layered core particles were obtained with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) K30 as the binder and Eudragit L30 D-55 as the coating material using the Wurster process in a fluidized bed processor. The enteric-coated microcapsules were characterized using powder X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, and polarized optical microscopy.

This study evaluated the impact of silver particles, suspended in flower extract, on the physicochemical characteristics and release dynamics of antioxidant compounds in PVP (polyvinylpyrrolidone)-based hydrogel systems. The hydrogels were synthesized via photopolymerization with fixed amounts of crosslinker (PEGDA) and photoinitiator, while the concentration of the silver-infused extract was systematically varied. Key properties, including the density, porosity, surface roughness, swelling capacity, and water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), were quantitatively analyzed.

Introduction: Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) have been the subject of substantial research by virtue of their utility across extensive downstream applications. Moreover, the ZnONPs are inexpensive, reliable, and easy to produce. Green synthesis employing biological systems, particularly plant extracts, has arisen as a subject of study in nanotechnology and is gaining importance due to its multiple applications in biology, chemistry, physics, and medicine.

The study aims to prepare and characterize a novel paclitaxel (PtX) preconcentrate formulation using polymer and lipid excipients that forms nanodispersion upon dilution. The goal was to understand the mechanism of nanodispersion formation and its properties. The water-insoluble PtX was dissolved in organic solvents containing ethanol, polyethylene glycol (PEG400), povidone (PVP), caprylic acid (CA), and sodium cholesterol sulfate (CS).
