This study was envisaged to demonstrate the potential of exemestane loaded phospholipid/sodium deoxycholate solid dispersions (EXE-PL/SDC-SDs) on the solubility and oral bioavailability of EXE. Initial studies were performed to screen the best suitable phospholipid among lysophosphatidylcholine, Phospholipon® P80H and Lipoid® E80S for solid dispersion preparation. Further studies were carried out to optimize the molar concentration of phospholipid and sodium deoxycholate (SDC) for EXE-PL/SDC-SDs preparation. Optimized EXE-PL/SDC-SDs was prepared using Lipoid® E80S and SDC in 1:4M concentration, respectively and lyophilized using 10% w/w 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (2-HPCD). The physical state of EXE in lyophilized formulation was confirmed by DSC and PXRD. Lyophilized formulation exhibits a significant increase in solubility and dissolution rate as compared to free drug EXE. Apparent permeability study was performed on Caco-2 cell line for 2h. The lyophilized EXE-PL/SDC-SDs exhibits 4.6-fold increase in absorptive transport as compared to EXE. Pharmacokinetic study in fasted female Sprague-Dawley rats revealed a 2.3-fold increase in AUC. Thus, the results suggest that PL/SDC-SDs is a promising carrier for EXE delivery.

An efficient and rapid ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MSMS) method was developed for simultaneous determination of 5 alternaria toxins (ATs) in edible and medicinal plant - peppermint using MOF-808-trifluoroacetic acid (MOF-808-TFA) as the adsorbent. Characterization methods such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and N adsorption-desorption demonstrated that the synthesized MOF-808-TFA had a regular ortho-octahedral configuration and high specific surface area. Under the optimal conditions, the 5 ATs showed good linearity (R ≥ 0.

Drug loaded microfiber scaffolds have potential for sublingual drug delivery due to their fast dissolution time and tunable porosity. Such microfiber scaffolds can be prepared by melt electrowriting (MEW), wherein a polymer melt is electrostatically drawn out of a syringe onto a computer controlled moving collector. The fabrication of such scaffolds via MEW has previously been shown for a polymer with a glass transition temperature (T) just above room temperature, making handling challenging.

Currently, high-salt diets have become one of the world's biggest dietary crisis and long-term high-salt diets are seriously detrimental to human health. In response to this situation, the present study proposed a saltiness enhancement strategy using alginate, which is a dietary fibre from brown algae and has many health benefits, such as regulating intestinal microbiota, anti-hypertension and anti-obesity. The comparison of alginates with different viscosities showed that alginate of 1000-1500 cps at a concentration of 1.
