Abstract A range of liquid emollient ester‐loaded body emulsions were evaluated on the basis sensory profile, consumer perception, physicochemical, biometrological, and rheological performances. This was complemented by skin hydration transepidermal water loss (TEWL) studies performed using a Corneometer® Tewameter®, respectively. The showed similar behavior creams variation shear stress, frequency, temperature. However, performances found varied when compared between base cream...
This study aimed to develop a biopredictive dissolution method for desvenlafaxine ER tablets using design of experiments (DoE) and physiologically based biopharmaceutics modeling (PBBM) address the challenge developing generic drug products by reducing risk product failure in pivotal bioequivalence studies. For this purpose, PBBM was developed GastroPlus® combined with Taguchi L9 design, evaluate impact different (Reference, Generic #1 #2) test conditions on release. The influence...
The solid dispersion approach is an alternative to increase drug solubility. Many carriers have been studied, but there few information about poloxamer 407 (P407). Consequently, the objective of this study was evaluate P407 as a carrier for nimodipine dispersions and compare its solubility dissolution rates with those from polyethylene glycol (PEG 6000). were prepared by hot melting solvent methods they characterized FTIR, DSC, solubility, tests. results indicated three-fold in presence than PEG.
The development of extended-release dosage forms with adequate drug release is a challenge for pharmaceutical companies, mainly when the presents high solubility, as in Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) class I. This study aimed to develop mini-tablets containing metoprolol succinate (MS), while integrating design experiments (DOE) and physiologically based biopharmaceutics modeling (PBBM), predict its absorption run virtual bioequivalence (VBE) studies both fasted fed states....
The search for new pharmaceutical dosage forms and different drug delivery systems already used in therapeutics is a global trend, serving as an opportunity to expand the portfolio industry. In this context, multiparticulate systems, such pellets, granules, minitablets, represent attractive alternative, given range of possibilities they provide. Among methods production these we highlight process extrusion-spheronization pellet manufacture, wet granulation hot-melt extrusion obtention direct...
Intrinsic dissolution testing allows characterizing drug substances through its rate when exposed to a specified surface area in specific media.This can be used determine if substance is highly or poorly soluble.In this work, DDDPlus version 4.0 (Simulations Plus, Inc.) was simulate intrinsic experiments for pyrimethamine and metronidazole.These drugs have low high solubility properties.Predicted rates (IDR) were compared observed vitro IDR.Physicochemical parameters from literature the...
Hypochlorhydria is a condition where the production of hydrochloric acid in stomach decreased. As result, intragastric pH elevated. This can be due to series causes, such as disease (gastric mucosal infection caused by Helicobacter pylori and prominent AIDS patients), ethnicity, age also use antisecretory agents. may significantly impact absorption other drugs that have pH-dependent solubility, ketoconazole, weak base. Within this context, purpose study was demonstrate how GastroPlusTM –...
