CONTEXT: Nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC) dispersions present low viscosity and poor mucoadhesive properties, which reduce the pre-corneal residence time and consequently, the bioavailability of ocular drugs.
OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the human abuse potential (HAP) of an experimental, microsphere-in-capsule formulation of extended-release oxycodone (oxycodone DETERx®) (herein "DETERx").
OBJECTIVES: A once-daily, extended-release hydrocodone bitartrate tablet with abuse-deterrent properties (Hysingla ER® [HYD]) is available for the treatment of chronic pain in appropriate patients. This study evaluated the intranasal abuse potential ...

Gingivitis is a condition that needs sustained concentration of antibiotic locally over extended period of time. The current study aimed to formulate and evaluate the sustained and localized release of metronidazole (MTZ) as mucoadhesive buccal table...
BACKGROUND: Small scale robotics have attracted growing attention for the prospect of targeting and accessing cell-sized sites, necessary for high precision biomedical applications and drug/gene delivery. The loss of controlled gene therapy, inducing...
BACKGROUND: Efficacy of melatonin in treating sleep disorders has been demonstrated in numerous studies. Being with short half-life, melatonin needs to be formulated in extended-release tablets to prevent the fast drop of its plasma concentration. Ho...
Polymyxins are efficient antibiotic drugs used for the treatment of Gram-negative bacterial infections. These compounds are not absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and are responsible for serious toxicological effects. In order to enhance their th...
A smart self-powered cargo delivery system that is composed of creatine phosphate kinase (CPK) microspheres, kinesins and microtubules is demonstrated. The CPK microsphere not only acts as an ATP generation and buffering system, but also as a carrier...
