Drug Delivery Strategies for Poorly Water-Soluble Drugs

TL;DR: The emerging formulation designs for delivering of poorly water-soluble drugs, including the massive use of surface-active excipients for solubilisation, are addressed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cyclodextrin-based controlled drug release system.

TL;DR: In an oral drug delivery system (DDS), the hydrophilic and ionizable CDs can serve as potent drug carriers in the immediate release- and delayed release-formulations, respectively, while the release rate of water-soluble drugs can be retarded by hydrophobic CDs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biotechnological applications of cyclodextrins

TL;DR: Recent applications of CDs in pharmaceuticals with a major emphasis on drug delivery systems are described and the utility of these water-soluble cyclic glucans in a variety of foods, flavors cosmetics, packaging and textiles is elaborated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cyclodextrins: structure, physicochemical properties and pharmaceutical applications

TL;DR: How too much or too little CD can hamper drug bioavailability, and the role of CDs in solid dosage forms and parenteral formulations, is explained, and examples given on how CDs can enhance drug delivery after ocular, nasal and pulmonary administration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cyclodextrins in topical drug formulations: theory and practice

TL;DR: It appears that cyclodextrins can only enhance topical drug delivery in the presence of water.

The Determination of Enzyme Dissociation Constants

TL;DR: On the basis of the assumed theory the rate of the observed reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the enzyme-substrate compound, where (E:l = (ES).
