AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of rapid disintegration tablets in enhancing the performance of solid dispersions for albendazole.
  • Rapid disintegration of tablets was found to significantly boost the bioavailability of albendazole.
  • Testing in dogs indicated that albendazole's plasma levels increased notably when administered via rapid disintegration tablets versus traditional forms.

Article Abstract

The main objectives of this study were (a) to evaluate the in vitro performance of the rapid disintegration tablets as a way to improve the solid dispersions and (b) to study the in vivo pharmacokinetics of the albendazole modified formulation in dogs. Rapid disintegration of tablets seems to be a key factor for efficiency of solid dispersions with regard to improvement of the albendazole bioavailability. The in vivo assays performed on dogs showed a marked increase in drug plasma exposure when albendazole was given in solid dispersions incorporated into rapid disintegration tablets compared with conventional solid dosage form.

Background: Tapentadol hydrochloride is a potent analgesic commonly used to manage moderate to severe pain. Rapidly dissolving tablets of Tapentadol offer a significant advantage in enhancing patient compliance by providing quick pain relief. The development of fast-dissolving tablets (FDTs) requires careful consideration of formulation parameters to achieve optimal disintegration and dissolution profiles.

In this study, lyophilizates with the second-class antipsychotic agent lurasidone hydrochloride were developed as orodispersible platforms to improve patients' adherence. The primary aim was to evaluate the effect of the amino acid additive (L-arginine, L-lysine, L-histidine) and the freeze-drying stage on the pharmaceutical performance of the designed formulations. The composition was initially optimized using an experimental design approach.

Liposomes have attracted attention in biomedicine and pharmacy for their benefits including reduced toxicity, extended pharmacokinetics, and biocompatibility. However, their limitations include susceptibility to blood clearance, rapid disintegration, and lack of functionality, restricting their further applications. To address these challenges, inspired by the unique topological features of cyclic polymers and the specific binding property of the choline phosphate (CP) lipid, dipole-dipole interactions between CP molecules are utilized to create a detachable cyclic PEG-embedded CP liposome (d-cycPEG-lipo).

Hydrogels in agriculture offer controlled release, however, face issues with rapid disintegration, swift release, and inability to protect active ingredients. To overcome this, the study presents a hydrogel delivery system that uses dopamine-functionalized nanoporous diatom (DE-PDA) microparticles entrapped in alginate and chitosan matrices to deliver plant growth hormone, gibberellic acid (GA) that suffers from instability, limiting its field application. Developed GA@hydrogel beads exhibited an encapsulation efficiency of 85.
