Applications of hot-melt extrusion for drug delivery. | LitMetric

Applications of hot-melt extrusion for drug delivery.

Expert Opin Drug Deliv

The University of Mississippi, School of Pharmacy, Department of Pharmaceutics, University, MS 38677, USA.

Published: December 2008

In today's pharmaceutical arena, it is estimated that more than 40% of new chemical entities produced during drug discovery efforts exhibit poor solubility characteristics. However, over the last decade hot-melt extrusion (HME) has emerged as a powerful processing technology for drug delivery and has opened the door to a host of molecules previously considered unviable as drugs. HME is considered to be an efficient technique in developing solid molecular dispersions and has been demonstrated to provide sustained, modified and targeted drug delivery resulting in improved bioavailability. This article reviews the range of HME applications for pharmaceutical dosage forms, such as tablets, capsules, films and implants for drug delivery through oral, transdermal, transmucosal, transungual, as well as other routes of administration. Interest in HME as a pharmaceutical process continues to grow and the potential of automation and reduction of capital investment and labor costs have made this technique worthy of consideration as a drug delivery solution.

In vitro and in vivo assessment of diosmetin-loaded lactoferrin-modified liposomes for brain delivery in intracerebral hemorrhage therapy.

Drug Deliv Transl Res

March 2025

State Key Laboratories for Quality Research in Chinese Medicines, Faculty of Pharmacy, Macau University of Science and Technology, Macau, 999078, China.

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a serious cerebrovascular disease with high morbidity, mortality, and disability rates, largely due to neuroinflammation. Diosmetin, a natural flavonoid, has known neuroprotective effects in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion models but has been less studied in ICH. Our previous study developed diosmetin-loaded lactoferrin-modified long-circulating liposomes (Lf-Dios-Lcl), which penetrate the BBB and improve diosmetin bioavailability and brain distribution.

mPEG-PCL modified Caffeic acid eye drops for endotoxin-induced uveitis treatment.

Sci Rep

March 2025

State Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology, Optometry and Vision Science, Eye Hospital, Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, Zhejiang, People's Republic of China, 325000.

The modulation of inflammatory mediators has emerged as a critical therapeutic strategy in uveitis management. Current nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory therapies face limitations due to systemic side effects. Caffeic acid (CA), a natural polyphenol with anti-inflammatory properties, holds therapeutic potential but suffers from poor solubility and ocular irritation.

Light-driven plasmonic microrobot for nanoparticle manipulation.

Nat Commun

March 2025

Nano-Optics and Biophotonics Group, Experimentelle Physik 5, Physikalisches Institut, Universität Würzburg, Am Hubland, Würzburg, Germany.

Recently light-driven microdrones have been demonstrated, making use of plasmonic nanomotors based on directional resonant chiral light scattering. These nanomotors can be addressed individually, without requiring the tracking of a focused laser, leading to exceptional 2D maneuverability which renders microdrones a versatile robotic platform in aqueous environments. Here, we incorporate a light-operated manipulator, a plasmonic nano-tweezer, into the microdrone platform, rendering it a microrobot by enabling precise, all-optical transport and delivery of single nanoparticles suspended in solution.
