Gelucire 48/16® for Type-IV Lipid Based Formulations and Their In Vitro In Vivo Performance Evaluation
AAPS PharmSci360 – San Antonion (USA) - Nov 2019
In vitro evaluation of leuprolide-containing solid lipid-based nanosuspensions: ability to encapsulate, release, protect and permeate in the gastrointestinal tract
AAPS PharmSci360 – San Antonion (USA) - Nov 2019
In this study the authors obtained solid lipid nanoparticles using high pressure homogeneization, in which leuprolide was included as an ion pair. The nanoparticles were shown to be internalized by Caco-2 and Caco-2/HT29-MTX cell monolayers.
Synergising excipients to boost skin delivery. A case study with lidocaine hydrochloride
Skinforum 2019 Annual Meeting – Reims (France) - Sep 2019
In this study, the authors showed that combining an efficient solubilizer and penetration enhancer achieves a synergic effect which enhances the passive diffusion of LID HCl through the Strat-M membrane in this Franz cell model.
Labrasol® is an efficacious intestinal permeation enhancer across rat intestine: Ex vivo and in vivo rat studies
Journal of Controlled Release, Volume 310, Pages 115-126 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jconrel.2019.08.008 - Sep 2019
In this study Labrasol® ALFwas investigated as an intestinal permeation enhancer in isolated rat colonic mucosae in Ussing chamber and in rat in situ intestinal instillations.
Labrasol® ALF (4 and 8 mg/mL) enhanced the transport of the paracellular markers across colonic mucosae. The enhancement was non-damaging, transient, and molecular weight-dependent.

Successful oral delivery of poorly water-soluble drugs both depends on the intraluminal behavior of drugs and of appropriate advanced drug delivery systems
European Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Volume 137, 104967, ISSN 0928-0987, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejps.2019.104967. - Sep 2019
In this excellent review article issued from the UNGAP program (European Network on Understanding Gastro-intestinal Absorption-related Process) you will find relevant and up-to-date information on:
Poorly water soluble drugs and the link between physico-chemical properties and solubility, lipophilicity and permeability
Technologies to increase solubility and dissolution rate: salt formation, amorphous solid dispersions, lipid-based formulations
How to avoid precipitation and create a concentration gradient to improve absorption
Methods for modelling the performance such as Molecular Dynamics Simulations
In vitro methods for solubility and dissolution assessments
Methods to explore the absorption in the GI tract: GI concentration-time profile, in vitro digestion, in vitro models coupling dissolution and permeation, mucus diffusion
Impact of molecularly dissolved drug versus apparently dissolved drug (ie in colloidal structure)
Synergising excipients to boost skin delivery
ONdrugDelivery Magazine, Issue 99, pp 54-58. - Aug 2019
This article focuses on Transcutol® P, Capryol® and Lauroglycol™ as their synergism brings eye-opening benefits in topical formulations.
