Abstract

Hot-melt extrusion (HME) has been extensively investigated for continuous manufacturing of amorphous solid dispersions, to improve the solubility of poorly water-soluble drug substances, impart abuse deterrence to controlled substances, taste masking for pediatric and geriatric formulations and development of cocrystal system. Much research has been conducted on the continuous manufacturing of solid dosage forms using HME, but its applicability in the manufacturing of semisolids remains an unexplored domain. This study aimed to explore the applicability of HME in the continuous manufacturing of topical semi-solid formulations with two active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Ointments containing a combination of triamcinolone acetonide and lidocaine hydrochloride were screened based on a quality target product profile (QTPP) and established critical quality attributes (CQAs) using design of experiments (DoE). Three selected formulations, manufactured by a lab-scale fusion method and HME, were subjected to further characterization studies including work of adhesion, stiffness, apparent pH, content uniformity, differential scanning calorimetry, accelerated stability, and in vitro drug release testing. Selected formulations met d...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
