The present study aims to design and optimize the lornoxicam dispersible tablet (LXDT) formulation using the Quality by design (QbD) approach. A randomized Box-Behnken experimental design was used to characterize the effect of the critical factors, such as filler (MCC/Mannitol) ratio, mixing time, and disintegrant concentration, and assessed for their impacts on the critical quality attributes (responses), including dispersibility time, friability, dissolution efficiency, and content uniformity, respectively. The drug-excipients interaction of the formulation was investigated using FTIR and DSC, respectively. The accelerated stability study at 40 °C/75% relative humidity was performed. FTIR revealed an absence of any significant chemical interaction in solid state. DSC thermogram suggested that LX endothermic peak was slightly decreased due to the dilution effect. LXDT formulations exhibited acceptable friability (0.2 to 0.9%). The dissolution efficiency of LXDT formulations ranged from 72.21 to 93.63%. The overall study showed that the optimum level of independent factors was found to be 3:1 MCC/Mannitol, 11 min mixing time, and 6.23% disintegrant concentration. Accelerated stability studies showed the compendial acceptable hardness, friability, and disintegration times. The application of QbD approach can help in the detailed understanding of the effect of CMAs and CPPs on the CQAs on LXDT final product.

The repercussions of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and bisphosphonates pose serious clinical challenges and warrant novel therapies for osteoporosis in menopausal women. To confront this issue, the present research aimed to design and fabricate daidzein (DZ); a phytoestrogen-loaded hydroxyapatite nanoparticles to mimic and compensate for synthetic estrogens and biomineralization. Hypothesizing this bimodal approach, hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HAPNPs) were synthesized using the chemical-precipitation method followed by drug loading (DZHAPNPs) via sorption.

Human-induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes have potential applications in regenerative medicine. The quality by design (QbD) approach enables the efficiency and quality assurance in the manufacturing of hiPSC-derived products. It requires a molecular understanding of hiPSC differentiation throughout the differentiation process; however, information on cardiac differentiation remains limited.

The pharmaceutical industry is striving to develop innovative and promising tools, increasingly embracing new data-driven approaches, to understand, improve and accelerate the drug product development process. While extended release (ER) oral formulations offer a number of advantages, including maintenance of therapeutic drug levels, a reduction in dosing frequency, and minimization of side effects, achieving consistent drug release profiles remains a significant challenge. As a critical attribute for drug absorption into systemic circulation, in vitro dissolution testing represents a time-consuming and complex method for the evaluation of such formulations.
