The evolution of 3D printing technology has opened up new avenues in the pharmaceutical industry, especially in the fabrication of novel drug delivery systems. One such advancement is the 3D printing of Oral Thin Films (OTFs), which are ultra-thin films used to deliver drugs via oral mucosa. Unlike traditional methods, 3D printing allows the precise layering of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), enabling the creation of intricate structures that optimize drug delivery. These films offe

In the ever-evolving world of pharmaceutical development, the quest to innovate and improve the delivery of drug substances remains a top priority. Among the many formulation strategies, oral liquid formulations hold a special place, offering alternatives particularly appealing for specific populations and addressing unique formulation challenges.

The Necessity of Oral Liquid Formulations

Lyophilization, or freeze drying, is used to stabilize pharmaceutical formulations and increase shelf life by removing water from pharmaceutical products. During the freeze-drying process, the drug formulation is initially subjected to freezing, followed by ice removal through sublimation under vacuum in the primary drying stage. A secondary drying stage is then used to remove the unfrozen water molecules at a higher temperature than the primary drying. The drug freeze-drying cycle is designe

Liposomes are structural entities composed of a lipid bilayer surrounding an aqueous solution. Their distinctive characteristics have led to numerous applications in diverse scientific and technological domains. In the realm of agricultural chemicals, liposomes can be utilized to augment the effectiveness of pesticides and facilitate the delivery of essential nutrients. Several studies have shown that the activity dynamics of toxins and antimicrobials are closely related to their use in agric

Protein fusion is a genetic recombination technique in which the DNA of an inactive peptide or protein chain segment to be grafted is recombined with the DNA of a drug and expressed together by engineered cells; no specialized grafting operations are required. In the current technology, the inactive peptide or protein chain segment used for protein fusion is the FC region of albumin and antibody. Biological grafting techniques to extend the half-life of drugs also face the problem of blocking
