1. Exploring alternative surfactants to replace PEG within lipid nanoparticles
University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master); Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (CI); Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master)Abstract : Over the past decade an increasing amount of studies has demonstrated that PEGylation not only precipitates reductions in drug delivery efficiency but also triggers the immune system to produce antibodies, specifically anti-PEG antibodies. The objective of my thesis is to explore alternative surfactants that could viably replace PEG within lipid nanoparticles. READ MORE

2. Comparison of properties on Orally Disintegrating Tablets (ODTs) produced by direct compression or fluid bed granulation
University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)Abstract : Orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs) is a popular drug delivery system as they dissolve in the mouth, usually within seconds which enables easy medication for patients with problem swallowing. In this thesis properties of ODTs were compared when produced with direct compression of the excipients or the excipients were pretreated to form granules in a fluid bed granulator prior to tableting.

4. DRY POWDER FOR INHALATION - INFLUENCE OF MIXING PROCESS AND ADDITION OF MAGNESIUM STEARATE
University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)Abstract : For efficient treatment of many diseases of the lung, it is beneficial to deliver the medicine to the respiratory tract directly. This ensures a rapid response since it can enter the bloodstream directly through the alveolar epithelium. Consequently, also decreases systemic effects due to the local treatment. READ MORE

5. A novel approach for functionalising and separating Tröger's Base Analogues
University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntesAbstract : Tröger’s Base (TB) is a bicyclic compound containing a methanodiazocine group between two aromatic rings. The methylene bridge forces the molecule to have a bent formation; thus, the aromatic rings are close to 90 degrees relative to each other, resulting in a rigid concave aromatic cavity. READ MORE
