Nanovesicles are highly-promising and versatile systems for the delivery and/or targeting of
drugs, biomolecules and contrast agents. Despite the fact that initial studies in this area were performed
on phospholipid vesicles, there is an…
Nanomedicine is probably one of the most investigated areas in the field of pharmaceutics in the last two decades. Nanotechnology-based formulations have been mainly investigated as a useful tool for drug delivery and targeting. Despite the wide…
Electrospinning is one of the most widely used techniques for the fabrication of nano/microparticles and nano/microfibers, induced by a high voltage applied to the drug-loaded solution. The modification of environmental conditions, solution properties…
Canadian Pharmaceutical Scientists have a rich history of groundbreaking research in pharmacokinetics and drug metabolism undertaken primarily throughout its Pharmacy Faculties and within the Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology industry. The principles…
The crystalline state is the most used and essential form of solid active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). The characterization of pharmaceutical crystals encompasses numerous scientific disciplines, and its center is crystal structure analysis,…
Natural products hold a prominent position in the discovery and development of many drugs used nowadays, with diverse indications for human and animal health. Especially, plants have played a leading role as source of specialized metabolites with…
During the first two decades of this century, conventional antimicrobial compounds have been found out to have more bacterial resistance. What has also been worrying is the rediscovery of the so-called “natural compounds”, which in turn have a good…
Consumers are concerned about the use of synthetic additives in foods and this has forced food processors to find ways to produce food products without the use of these additives. Therefore there is a need in the food industry to find “clean label”…
