  1. 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)

    Author : Elina Edidovica; [2024]
    Keywords : Lipid nanoparticle; polyethelyne glycol PEG ; alpha-tomatine; N-hexadecyl beta d-maltoside HDM ; DOPC; DPPC; cholesterol; film hydration; stability study; DLS; Cryo-TEM; SAXS; pharmaceutical formulation; Chemistry;

    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. 2. DRY POWDER FOR INHALATION - INFLUENCE OF MIXING PROCESS AND ADDITION OF MAGNESIUM STEARATE

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Author : Love Ivarsson; [2023]
    Keywords : inhalation; drug delivery; pulmonary drug delivery; API; FPF; FPD; DD; Turbula; Diosna; mixing energy; mixing time; mixing speed; pharmaceutical technology; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    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

  3. 3. Methods to study device induced aggregation of proteins

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Author : Marie Therese von Wowern; [2023]
    Keywords : protein formulation; protein aggregation; insulin; silicone oil; syringe; shear stress; subvisible particle; size exclusion chromatography; flow imaging microscopy; pharmaceutical technology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This work developed a method for the investigation of how medical devices, such as syringes and needles, affect the formation of subvisible particles in a protein drug without excipients. Protein-based pharmaceuticals are well known to be sensitive to different kinds of stress, and exposure to stress during the use of this device is unavoidable. READ MORE

  4. 4. The Potential Use of Degradable Starch Microspheres as a Carrier for Nasal Drug Administration

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Author : Rojda Unal; [2023]
    Keywords : Pharmaceutical technology; Nasal administration; Läkemedel; Pulverformiga bärare; Sfärer; Pulverinhalation; Bärarmaterial; Läkemedelseffektivitet; Pulverteknik; Partikelformulering; Nasal deposition; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Intranasal drug delivery is a practical and accessible method for treating localized symptoms as well as achieving systemic drug absorption. The approach takes advantage of the permeability, vascularization, and limited enzymatic activity of nasal tissue, leading to enhanced drug absorption. READ MORE

  5. 5. The effect of lactose fines, magnesium stearate, choice of mixer and mixing process on the performance of adhesive mixtures for inhalation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Author : Gabriela Ponce Aparicio; [2023]
    Keywords : High shear mixing; low shear mixing; lactose fines; coating agent; budesonide; mixing energy; dry powder inhaler; carrier-based formulations; mixing time; adhesive mixtures; pharmaceutical technology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Dry powder inhaler (DPI) formulation is a major area of interest since they are employed by the healthcare system to treat relevant chronic diseases like asthma. Previous research has established that the manufacturing process and formulation composition are key for the active pharmaceutical ingredient to reach the lungs and achieve therapeutic effects.
