Safer and efficacious Amphotericin B (AmB) nanoformulations can be designed by augmenting AmB in the monomeric or super-aggregated state, and restricting the aggregated state, by choosing the appropriate excipient, which can be facilitated by employing in-silico prediction as a tool. Excipients selected for the study included linear fatty acids from caprylic (C) to stearic(C) and the stearate based amphiphilic surfactants polyoxyl-15-hydroxystearate (PS15) and polyoxyl-40-stearate (PS40). Blend module was employed to determine the two miscibility parameters mixing energy (E) and interaction parameter (χ).

In part 1, we have investigated drug release by solid-solution single fibers comprising a sparingly water-soluble drug (ibuprofen) and a highly water-soluble dual excipient (low-molecular-weight hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) and polyoxyl stearate (POS)). In this part, fibrous dosage forms of the same formulation are prepared by 3D-micro-patterning, tested, and modeled. Upon immersion in a small volume of dissolution fluid, the dosage forms rapidly swelled and formed a low-viscosity medium, which subsequently dissolved.

Solid solutions of sparingly water-soluble drugs and highly water-soluble excipients are widely used for enhancing the drug delivery rate into the blood stream. The basic physico-chemical mechanisms, however, are not well understood. To delineate the mechanisms, therefore, in this work solid-solution fibers are immersed in a small volume of dissolution fluid and the drug concentration is monitored versus time.

The objective of this study was to investigate the percutaneous absorption of enrofloxacin from two base formulations, Pentravan cream and LMOG organogel. Ex-vivo experiments were carried out on pig ear skin. The percutaneous permeation through pig skin of two formulations containing 5 wt% of enrofloxacin was measured and compared using Franz diffusion cells.
