  2. 1. Polymer Gels as Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms : Rheological Performance and Physicochemical Interactions at the Gel-Mucus Interface for Formulations Intended for Mucosal Drug Delivery

    Author : Helene Hägerström; Katarina Edsman; Arne Brodin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmaceutics; gel; rheology; mucoadhesion; mucosal drug delivery; in situ gel; gellan gum; Carbopol; tensile strength; nasal mucosa; intranasal administration; dielectric spectroscopy; Galenisk farmaci; Pharmaceutics; Galenisk farmaci;

    Abstract : Drug delivery to the nasal and ocular mucosa faces several obstacles. One of these is from the effective clearance mechanisms present in the nose and eye. Polymer gels with suitable rheological properties can facilitate the absorption of poorly absorbed drugs by increasing the contact time of the drug with the mucosa. READ MORE

  4. 2. Catanionic Aggregates in Gels : Prolonged Drug Release and Potential Implications for Topical Use

    Author : Noel Dew; Erik Björk; Stefan Ulvenlund; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmaceutics; Galenisk farmaci; Galenisk farmaci; Pharmaceutics;

    Abstract : Gels are popular dosage forms.  This topical dosage form may be advantageous compared to oral or parenteral dosage forms. Favorable rheological or bioadhesive properties of gels might provide extended contact times at the site of administration compared to aqueous solutions. READ MORE

  5. 3. Models for the Transfer of Drugs from the Nasal Cavity to the Central Nervous System

    Author : Björn Jansson; Erik Björk; Sveinbjörn Gizurarson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biopharmacy; Administration; intranasal; Nasal mucosa; Central nervous system; Olfactory bulb; Rat; Mouse; Swine; Cattle; Diffusion chambers; culture; In vitro; Biological models; Biological transport; Dextrans; Dopamine; Gels; Polysaccharides; Autoradiography; Fluorescence microscopy; Biofarmaci; Biopharmacy; Biofarmaci;

    Abstract : The blood-brain barrier restricts the access of many compounds, including therapeutic agents, to the brain. Several human studies indicate that nasal administration of hydrophilic compounds, such as peptides, can bypass the blood-brain barrier. The aims of this thesis were to develop and refine models for this direct nose-to-brain transfer. READ MORE

  7. 5. 3D printing of lipid-based formulations into personalized solid oral dosage forms

    Author : Jenny Johannesson; Christel Bergström; Alexandra Teleki; Mattias Paulsson; Maria Strömme; Abdul Basit; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; poorly water-soluble drug; lipid-based formulation; Pickering emulsion; emulsion gel; semi-solid extrusion; 3D printing; lipid tablet; personalized dosage form; Farmaceutisk vetenskap; Pharmaceutical Science;

    Abstract : The pharmaceutical development process starts with patient populations and their unmet therapeutic needs. Traditional pharmaceutical manufacturing of solid oral dosage forms is based on the strategy of one-size-fits-all. This is problematic, especially for patient populations with high patient-to-patient variability, as in pediatrics. READ MORE
