BACKGROUND: Nanocrystals have the potential to substantially increase dissolution rate, solubility with subsequent enhanced bioavailability via the oral route of a range of poor water soluble drugs. Regardless of other issues, scale up of the batch s...
Enabling the paradigm of quality by design requires the ability to quantitatively correlate material properties and process variables to measureable product performance attributes. Conventional, quality-by-test methods for determining tablet breaking...
Because of the insolubility of miriplatin in water, miriplatin and lipiodol suspension is the sole formulation of miriplatin approved in Japan to treat hepatocellular carcinoma by transcatheter arterial chemoembolization. Until now, there have been n...
