Abstract
The aim of the present research work was to formulate and evaluate the extended release matrix pellets of nevirapine using extrusion and spheronization technique which will be an alternative technique for making extended release dosage forms and to compare the drug release profiles of the formulations with the reference product. In vitro dissolutions were carried out in 0.04M Phosphate buffer pH 6.8 with 2% w/v SLS (sodium lauryl sulphate) for 24 hours with USP type I apparatus at 75rpm. The drug release from the optimised formulation was comparable to that of the reference product and follows first order kinetics followed by non-fickian transport mechanism of drug release which confirms the drug release pattern involves complex mixture of diffusion and erosion. The similarity factor, f2 value of optimised formulation was found to be 70, which shows that the developed formulation was comparable to that of the reference product.

Advances of natural products, bio-actives and novel drug delivery system against emerging viral infections
Due to the increasing prevalence of viral infections and the ability of these human pathogens to develop resistance to current treatment strategies, there is a great need to find and develop new compounds to combat them. These molecules must have low toxicity, specific activity and high bioavailability. The most suitable ...read more
Electrospun Fibers as Drug Delivery Systems
In recent years, electrospun fibers have attracted considerable attention as potential platforms for drug delivery due to their distinctive properties and adaptability. These fibers feature a notable surface area-to-volume ratio and can be intentionally designed with high porosity, facilitating an increased capacity for drug loading and rendering them suitable for ...read more
Emerging Nanotherapeutics for Mitigation of Neurodegenerative Disorders
Conditions affecting the central nervous system (CNS) present a significant hurdle due to limited access of both treatments and diagnostic tools for the brain. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) acts as a barrier, restricting the passage of molecules from the bloodstream into the brain. The most formidable challenge facing scientists is ...read more
Nanotechnology Based Chemotherapy for the treatment of Head & Neck Cancer
The escalating recurrence rates observed in Head and Neck cancer, particularly within the chemo-therapeutically treated cohort (50-60%), can be attributed to the non-selective nature of current anticancer drug delivery modalities. In this context, nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems emerge as a promising avenue for achieving precise localization of therapeutic agents to ...read more
