Spray-dried co-amorphous Tadalafil ternary mixtures: a promising platform towards the enhancement of solubility and bioavailability

Abstract Tadalafil (Tad) is a poorly water-soluble drug (BCS class II) that is used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. An enhancement of aqueous solubility is vital to accelerate its onset of action and subsequently enhance its therapeutic effect. Binary and ternary mixtures of Tad with different...

Optimization and Quest of HPMC loaded Stavudine Controlled Release Dosage Development by Central Composite Design utilizing Reduced Factorial Screening Technique

Abstract The current research focused on screening and finding the significant independent variables in stavudine loaded tablet, followed by optimizing the best formulation using central composite design. The objective of the study to develop stavudine loaded controlled release tablet utilizing reduced f...

Development and characterization of PLGA-Bupivacaine and PLGA-S75: R25 Bupivacaine (Novabupi®) biodegradable implants for postoperative pain

Abstract In the hospital environment, postoperative pain is a common occurrence that impairs patient recovery and rehabilitation and lengthens hospitalization time. Racemic bupivacaine hydrochloride (CBV) and Novabupi® (NBV) (S (-) 75% R (+) 25% bupivacaine hydrochloride) are two examples of local anest...

Spectrophotometric determination of acid dissociation constants of some arylpropionic acids and arylacetic acids in acetonitrile-water binary mixtures at 25ºC

Abstract The acid dissociation constant of drug active compounds (arylpropionic and aryl acetic acids) were determined in acetonitrile and water binary mixtures (corresponding volume fractions of 0.40, 0.45, 0.50, and 0.55) by using a multi-wavelength spectrophotometric method. Drug active compounds, whi...

Application of capillary zone electrophoresis to determine second-generation H1 antihistaminic drugs, loratadine and rupatadine

Abstract The second generation of H1 antihistamines from the piperidine group are often used for treating allergic diseases due to their action on histaminic receptors, the primary mediator of allergy. Moreover, the antihistamines have anti-inflammatory action, mediated through platelet-activating factor...

Quality control and drug-drug interactions between commercially available Metoprolol and Glimepiride tablets

Abstract Quality is paramount and needs to be maintained throughout the shelf life of pharmaceuticals. The current study aimed to evaluate the quality, potency, and drug-drug interaction in an in vivo animal model by using two drugs, namely, metoprolol and glimepiride. Tablets were selected for their phy...

Enhancement of dissolution rate of racecadotril by liquisolid compact technology

Abstract The current investigation was used to improve the rate of dissolution of an anti-diarrheal drug i.e., racecadotril (RT) at low pH conditions (i.e., in the stomach) by reducing the water secretion and electrolyte in to the intestine by liquisolid tablets. Different formulations (liquisolid) were ...

Anti-proliferative effects of paroxetine alone or in combination with sorafenib in HepG2 cells

Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common cause of cancer-related death. Sorafenib is the first approved drug for the treatment of advanced HCC. Depression is frequent in cancer patients. Moreover, sorafenib might exert depression as an adverse drug reaction and paroxetine, a selective serotoni...

Precise and Sensitive Ambient Temperature Based Analytical Colorimetric Method for Pregabalin

Abstract Pregabalin, a GABA analogue is used to treat epilepsy and neuropathic pain. The drug poses problems in analytical quantification when estimated at a shorter UV wavelength. The expensive and non-repetitive reported analytical methods necessitate the utility and development of an accurate, precise...
