Background: Polymers are widely used in drug manufacturing. Researchers studied their impact on the bioavailability of active substances or on physical properties of tablets for many years. Objectives: To study the influence of polymer excipients, such as microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel PH 101, Avicel PH 102), croscarmellose sodium, crospovid...

The objective of this work was to prepare and evaluate the effects of various concentrations of excipients on Salbutamol sulphate release from floating effervescent tablets. Salbutamol sulphate undergoes extensive first-pass metabolism and has a half-life about 4.5 hrs. The reported oral bioavailability is ~ 40%and thus requires frequent administra...

Background Fungal swollenins (SWOs) constitute a class of accessory proteins that are homologous to canonical plant expansins. Expansins and expansin-related proteins are well known for acting in the deagglomeration of cellulose structure by loosening macrofibrils. Consequently, SWOs can increase the accessibility and efficiency of the other enzyme...
