Four new ionic liquids (IL) were prepared and bonded onto 5-microm silica particles for use as adsorbent in solid-phase microextraction (SPME). Two ILs contained styrene units that allowed for polymerization and higher carbon content of the bonded silica particles. Two polymeric ILs differing by their anion were used to prepare two SPME fibers that were used in both headspace and immersion extractions and compared to commercial fibers. In both sets of experiments, ethyl acetate was used as an internal standard to take into account adsorbent volume differences between the fibers. The polymeric IL fibers are very efficient in headspace SPME for short-chain alcohols. Immersion SPME also can be used with the IL fibers for short-chain alcohols as well as for polar and basic amines that can be extracted at pH 11 without damage to the IL-bonded silica particles. The sensitivities of the two IL fibers differing by the anion were similar. Their efficacy compares favorably to that of commercial fibers for polar analytes. The mechanical strength and durability of the polymeric IL fibers were excellent.

Purpose: To improve the oral absorption of relugolix (RLGL), which has low oral bioavailability due to its low solubility and being a substrate of P-glycoprotein (P-gp). A solid self-microemulsifying drug delivery system of relugolix (RLGL-S-SMEDDS) was prepared and evaluated in vitro and in vivo.
Methods: The composition of the solid self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (S-SMEDDS) was selected by solubility study and pseudo-ternary phase diagram, and further optimized by Design-Expert optimization design.

Palygorskite exhibits distinctive morphological and textural characteristics due to its fibrous and micropore nature. This research experimentally investigates the microstructure of palygorskite and how acid treatment changes the fibrous shape and ability to adsorb. Acetic and hydrochloric acid were used to study the effect of acid on palygorskite fibrous morphology.

Environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFRs) are a recently recognized component of particulate matter that cause respiratory and cardiovascular toxicity. The mechanism of EPFR toxicity appears to be related to their ability to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), causing oxidative damage. EPFRs were shown to affect cytochrome P450 (P450) function, inducing the expression of some forms through the Ah receptor.

In recent years, continuous manufacturing (CM) has become increasingly popular in the pharmaceutical industry for the production of oral solid dosage (OSD) forms. Most of the newly developed active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) nowadays are extremely cohesive and sticky with a mean particle size particle of <100μm, a wide particle size distribution (PSD) and a high tendency to agglomerate, making them difficult to accurately dose using loss-in-weight equipment during CM. In this research paper, the effect of various glidants on the volumetric and gravimetric feeding of several APIs was assessed.

Polymer Janus nanoparticles with one hard cross-linked polystyrene lobe and one soft film-forming poly(methyl methacrylate--butyl acrylate) lobe were synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT)-mediated emulsion polymerization. The Janus nanoparticles adsorbed to oil/water and air/water interfaces, where the soft lobes coalesced, forming films of thickness between 25 and 250 nm; droplets of silicone oil could be stably encapsulated in polymer in this way. When prepared by mechanical mixing without additives, capsules of diameter 5-500 μm could be prepared, and with additives and application of heat, capsules of diameter around 5 μm were achieved, even with highly viscous silicone oil (20,000 cSt).
