Development and evaluation of ointment and cream vehicles for a new topical steroid, fluclorolone acetonide

TL;DR: Enhanced drug release and superior vasoconstrictor activity were demonstrated by fluclorolone acetonide when prepared in vehicles in which it was entirely solubilized, demonstrating the usefulness of in vitro release studies in predicting vehicle efficacy.

Finite element analysis of slow drug release through deformed coating film: effects of morphology and average thickness of coating film

TL;DR: The effects of the morphology and the average thickness of the deformed coating films on the slow diffusional release characteristics analyzed numerically under the constraints of the constant volume of the drug matrices and the coating films are presented.

Influence of Formulation Factors on Tablet Formulations with Liquid Permeation Enhancer Using Factorial Design

TL;DR: Polymer type displayed the highest and statistically significant effect on compressibility index, tablet hardness, and dissolution rate, and statistical design helped in better understanding the effect of formulation factors on tablet characteristics important for designing formulations with desired characteristics.

Effect of cogrinding time on the release of pentoxifylline from waxy matrix tablets.

TL;DR: X-ray powder diffraction analysis of the ground drug-wax indicated that particle size could be reduced by grinding without polymorphic transformation, and scanning electron microphotographs of the coground product after dissolution tests suggested that mechanochemical energy had been used to cover the drug particles.
