Developing a new drug costs approximately one to three billion dollars and takes around ten years; however, this process has only a ten percent success rate. To address this issue, new technologies that combine artificial intelligence (AI) and quantu...
Poor solubility of many drugs, with ensuing low bioavailability, is a big challenge in pharmaceutical development. Nanosuspensions have emerged as a platform approach for long-acting injectables and solid dosages that enhance drug bioavailability. De...
Lyophilization, or freeze-drying, is the default technique for the manufacture of solid-state formulations of therapeutic proteins. This established method offers several advantages, including improved product stability by minimizing chemical degrada...
Lidocaine plays a significant role in postoperative analgesia by effectively reducing pain. However, due to its short half-life, it is challenging for lidocaine to achieve the desired duration of analgesia in clinical settings. Drug delivery systems...
Background: Off-label nebulization of tranexamic acid (TXA) solution is common practice for the treatment of hemoptysis. However, data regarding nebulization protocols, resulting aerodynamic parameters of the generated aerosol, and corresponding biop...
Background: The aqueous solubility of indomethacin, a poorly water-soluble anti-inflammatory drug, was enhanced by co-crystallization with co-formers. The co-crystals were characterized and compared by an X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, terahertz (...
Celecoxib (CEL), a nonsteroidal anti-inflammation drug (NSAID), is categorized as a Class II drug (low solubility, high permeability) in the Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS). The aim of this study is to develop a novel formulation of CEL...
Dry eye disease (DED) is a multifactorial ocular surface disorder that significantly affects vision and quality of life. While artificial tears are the standard first-line therapy, their effectiveness is limited by the complex pathophysiology of DED....
Tablet surface defects are typically controlled by visual inspection in the pharmaceutical industry. This is an insufficient response variable for knowledge-based formulation and process development, and it results in rather limited robustness of the...
The main objective of this research was to correlate the equilibrium solubility of sodium sulfadiazine in several {ethanol (EtOH, 1) + water (2)} mixtures reported in mass/volume and mass/mass percentages at different temperatures. Aqueous solubility...
Collaborations between academia and industry serve as a powerful catalyst for scientific progress, synergizing the strengths of both sectors [...]
The pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry continues to be one of the most important industry sectors for various reasons [...]
Aims: To describe and analyze trends in the utilization, spending, and average per prescription price of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) in the US Medicaid population. Methods: Using the publicly available national outpatient Medicaid...
A selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), Celecoxib (CEB), known for its anti-inflammatory properties, can exhibit polymorphism, with Form III often emerging as an undesired crystalline impurity during the green manufacturing process of the...
It is with immeasurable sadness that we announce the untimely passing of Prof [...]
Current estimates suggest that Africa contains about 14% of the world’s population and accounts for 20% of the global burden of disease. Yet, it accounts for a mere 3% of clinical trials globally. The time is ripe—even overdue—for d...
This study investigates the comparative impact of fermentation versus conventional extraction methods on the bioactive potency of “FERMENZA”, a patented, affordable, natural fermented cider-based topical formulation. Through comprehensive...
Evaluating power consumption in stirred media mills over a wide range of process parameters is crucial for analyzing breakage kinetics and milling efficiency. Despite considerable research efforts, existing models predominantly rely on power-law appr...
Medicine is accelerating rapidly, offering the advantages of site-specific delivery, minimized side effects, and improved treatment outcomes. A diverse array of chronic diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, asthma, myocardial infarction, and Alzheimer&...
Poor drug entrapment, burst release, and variable drug release profiles are the most critical challenges associated with biodegradable-polymer-based microspheres. In this study, biodegradable-polymer-based microspheres were used to entrap an antiplat...
The growing threat of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) demands innovative drug discovery, yet conventional 2D cell cultures fail to accurately mimic in vivo conditions, leading to high failure rates in preclinical studies. This review addresses the cri...
The development of novel dosage forms of vitamin B12 is an urgent task for addressing vitamin deficiency in individuals with gastrointestinal diseases or those following stringent dietary limitations. The study illustrates the fundamental possibility...
Lecythidaceae species are known worldwide for their ability to produce edible nuts of high nutritional value, such as Brazil nuts, and are also used in traditional medicine in countries across America, Asia, and Africa. The potential of these species...
The design and development of a robust and consistent manufacturing process for monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), augmented by advanced process analytics capabilities, is a key current focus area in the pharmaceutical industry. In this work, we describe...
Dry eye disease is a common condition in which tear production or quality is insufficient to lubricate the eyes properly. Standard treatment usually involves lubricating eye drops. In this study, we assessed the human health risks, including both non...
There is a growing global demand for cost-effective alternatives to high-priced biologic therapies, which has significantly accelerated the development of biosimilars and positioned them as sustainable and affordable treatment options. Biosimilars in...
