Lipids and lipid-based formulations: optimizing the oral delivery of lipophilic drugs

TL;DR: The mechanisms by which lipids and lipidic excipients affect the oral absorption of lipophilic drugs are detailed and a perspective on the possible future applications of lipid-based delivery systems is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

"Nanoantibiotics": a new paradigm for treating infectious diseases using nanomaterials in the antibiotics resistant era.

TL;DR: This review summarizes emerging efforts in combating against infectious diseases, particularly using antimicrobial NPs and antibiotics delivery systems as new tools to tackle the current challenges in treating infectious diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Strategies to Address Low Drug Solubility in Discovery and Development

TL;DR: The article provides an integrated and contemporary discussion of current approaches to solubility and dissolution enhancement but has been deliberately structured as a series of stand-alone sections to allow also directed access to a specific technology where required.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nanoemulsions versus microemulsions: terminology, differences, and similarities

TL;DR: In this article, the differences and similarities between nanoemulsions and micro-mulsions in terms of their compositions, structure, fabrication, properties, and stability are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS) for improved oral delivery of lipophilic drugs.

TL;DR: Self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS), which are isotropic mixtures of oils, surfactants, solvents and co-solvents/surfactants, can be used for the design of formulations in order to improve the oral absorption of highly lipophilic drug compounds as discussed by the authors.

Lipid microemulsions for improving drug dissolution and oral absorption: physical and biopharmaceutical aspects

TL;DR: This review highlights the state-of-the-art in pharmaceutical microemulsions with emphasis on self-emulsifying systems, from both a physical and biopharmaceutical perspective, primarily focused on their potential for oral drug delivery and intestinal absorption improvement.
Journal ArticleDOI

Formulation of self-emulsifying drug delivery systems

TL;DR: Self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS) are mixtures of oils and surfactants, ideally isotropic, sometimes including cosolvents, which emulsify under conditions of gentle agitation, similar to those which would be encountered in the gastro-intestinal tract as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipid-based vehicles for the oral delivery of poorly water soluble drugs

TL;DR: This review attempts to provide a framework for the assessment of lipid based formulations by describing how aspects of GI physiology, and the choice of lipids and their formulation attributes, impact on dose form performance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self-dispersing lipid formulations for improving oral absorption of lipophilic drugs.

TL;DR: This review outlines SDLFs as one of the most promising approaches to overcome the formulation difficulties of these hydrophobic/lipophilic drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self-emulsifying drug delivery systems: formulation and biopharmaceutic evaluation of an investigational lipophilic compound.

TL;DR: Self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDSs) represent a possible alternative to traditional oral formulations of lipophilic compounds and improved the reproducibility of the plasma profile in terms of the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and the time to reach the maximum concentration (tmax).
