In Vitro In Silico Correlation of Lidocaine HCl Skin Permeation - A Comparative Study of Gel Cream and Bigel formulations
ECP - mar 2025
In this work, the effectiveness of Skin-in-Silico™ software for simulating dermal absorption and permeation of lidocaine hydrochloride in gel, cream, and bi-gel forms was evaluated. By combining in silico predictions with in vitro experiments, we explore the correlation between these methods and their role in optimizing topical drug formulations.
A QbD-based UPLC-ELSD method for quantifying medium-chain triglycerides in Labrafac™ WL 1349 for nanoemulsion applications
Molecules - jan 2025
This article showcases the development and validation of a robust UPLC-ELSD method, using analytical Quality-by-Design principles, to accurately quantify medium-chain triglycerides in a lipid-based excipient for nanoemulsion applications, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.
Understanding Microemulsions and Nanoemulsions in (Trans)Dermal Delivery
AAPS PharmSciTech - jan 2025
Microemulsions and nanoemulsions are explored in pharmaceuticals for their potential in delivering clinically relevant drug doses across biological membranes. Despite extensive literature, there's a lack of clear distinctions between the two in terms of definitions and mechanisms: this review aims to uncover less obvious yet important mechanisms in transdermal drug delivery.
Bigels: case studies of an innovative topical dosage form
ABCF Congress - nov 2024
Adherence to treatments is a key challenge for topical formulations. Bigels, formulated with Emulfree® Duo are an innovative dosage form that can combine both hydrophilic and lipophilic active ingredients in a stable, moisturizing, and easily spreadable formulation. This study showcases three different placebo bigels formulations.

PBP - mar 2024
Nanopharmaceuticals' size is a critical quality attribute. This work provides insights about the implementation of an at-line particle size analyzer in a continuous manufacturing line of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC).
Formulating pharmaceutical topical dosage forms with high level of solvents and minimal quantity of water
PBP - mar 2024
This poster dives into the formulation of topical dosage forms containing the maximum amount of solvent and the minimum amount of water, while ensuring their stability upon storage.
Establishment of a continuous inline-monitored nano-production line using the Microfluidizer® technology for the fabrication of safe lipid-based nanoparticles
Macedonian Pharmaceutical Bulletin - sep 2023
Nano-drug delivery systems (NDDS) serve as a promising platform in modern medicine, facilitating the targeted delivery of drugs due to their versatile size, structure, and composition. However, the current industrial production of NDDS relies on cumbersome batch processes that are costly, difficult to scale, and lack adequate control. This study focuses on enhancing industrial-scale production through the development and testing of a continuous top-down production line, utilizing scalable Microfluidizer® technology for solvent-free preparation of lipid-based nanoparticles.
