Fabrication of glipizide loaded polymeric microparticles; in-vitro and in-vivo evaluation. by Qaiser Rasheed, Kamran Ahmad Khan, Ghulam Razaque, Ashfaq Ahmad, Asif Nawaz, Naheed Akhtar, Kifayat Ullah Shah, Zahid Rasul Niazi, Muhammad Danish Saeed, Anila Alam

“…Encouragingly, the microparticles exhibited high percent yield (ranging from 66 to 77%), entrapment efficiency (80 to 96%), and percent drug loading (46 to 54%). All formulated batches demonstrated controlled drug release profiles extending up to 12 hours, with glipizide release following an anomalous non-Fickian diffusion pattern. …”

Alternative Methods for Dissolution Profile Comparison in the Dissolution Test by D. P. Romodanovsky, D. V. Goryachev

“…The article discusses the problem of assessing the similarity of the dissolution profiles of two batches of the nebivolol. The use of a generally accepted similarity factor for assessing equivalence is unacceptable in some cases, for example, for drugs with a high variability in the values of the release of the active substance from the formulation. …”

3D-Printed PLA Hollow Microneedles Loaded with Chitosan Nanoparticles for Colorimetric Glucose Detection in Sweat Using Machine Learning by Anastasia Skonta, Myrto G. Bellou, Haralambos Stamatis

“…Briefly, hollow 3D-printed polylactic acid microneedles were constructed and loaded with chitosan nanoparticles encapsulating glucose oxidase, horseradish peroxidase, and the chromogenic substrate 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid), resulting in the formation of the chitosan nanoparticle−microneedle patches. Glucose detection was performed colorimetrically by first incubating the chitosan nanoparticle−microneedle patches with glucose samples of varying concentrations and then by using photographs of the top side of each microneedle and a color recognition application on a smartphone. …”
