Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the critical role of excipients in the formulation of pharmaceutical products. Excipients are non-active ingredients that contribute significantly to the stability, bioavailability, manufacturability, and overall performance of a pharmaceutical product. This Special Issue aims to explore the latest advancements in the selection, design, and optimization of excipients in various dosage forms, including oral, injectable, topical, and novel drug delivery systems. Topics of interest include the development of novel excipients with enhanced functional properties, their regulatory aspects, and strategies for improving drug solubility, stability, and release profiles. Additionally, the issue will address the development of patient-friendly formulations and the integration of excipients in personalized medicine. Contributions that highlight the application of excipients in biologics, advanced drug delivery systems, and green chemistry approaches to formulations are also welcome. This Special Issue seeks to provide insights into the evolving landscape of excipients and their essential role in the creation of effective, safe, and innovative pharmaceutical products.
