This study systemically investigated the application of core/shell technique to improve powder compactability. A 28-run Design-of-Experiment (DoE) was conducted to evaluate the effects of the type of core and shell materials and their concentrations ...
Current technologies for monitoring the subvisible particles that may be generated during fill-finish operations for protein formulations are cumbersome. Measurement times are generally too long for real-time analysis, and the high protein concentrat...
OBJECTIVE: To test whether neurotoxic effects of a bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension differ from those of a standard formulation of bupivacaine hydrochloride (HCl) after intraneural injection into the sciatic nerves in pigs.

In the present study, the preparation of pharmaceutical mini-tablets was attempted in the framework of Quality by Design (QbD) context, by comparing traditionally used multi-linear regression (MLR), with artificially-intelligence based regression tec...
In this study, we suggest optimizing the methodology to determine the Cohesion Index (Icd) in order to avoid mistaken characterizations due to powder bulk density. For this purpose, five different excipients, with different bulk densities and of diff...
