In this study, researchers reported that hardshell capsules using the DiluCap® line of excipients demonstrated varying dissolution profiles under gastrointestinal-simulating conditions, with minoxidil and finasteride showing rapid release and melatonin and naltrexone displaying controlled release, indicating their suitability for different applications in compounding pharmacies.

This study found that the cocrystal of mycophenolic acid with isonicotinamide significantly improved solubility and dissolution rate, while two other cocrystals showed decreased performance in these areas.

This study found that the dissolution profiles of different finasteride polymorphs may affect the quality of finasteride capsules, highlighting the need for polymorphic quality control.

This study found that minoxidil was released 50% less from creams than from lotions, with a similar release profile across different lotion formulations, suggesting a specific vehicle composition for topical use.

This study describes a method to extract and characterize keratin particles from human hair, finding they can encapsulate the anticancer drug Paclitaxel with significant efficiency, releasing it in a pH-dependent manner potentially beneficial for targeted cancer treatment.

This study found that autophagy in the preputial glands of mice plays a crucial role in regulating lipid and fatty acid metabolism, as well as pheromone production.

This study found that inhibiting autophagy in mouse preputial glands alters lipid metabolism, delays aging-related duct changes, and reduces pheromone production, indicating autophagy's critical role in gland homeostasis and cell breakdown during secretion.

In this study, researchers optimized fast-dissolving tablets of nifedipine using a systematic approach, resulting in formulations that demonstrated rapid disintegration, enhanced dissolution profiles, and improved solubility, potentially improving oral delivery for patients requiring poorly soluble antihypertensive medication.

This study evaluated niosome-based gels for delivering salicylic acid topically to treat acne vulgaris and found that the formulation SANG5, using Carbopol 940 and nutmeg oil, demonstrated the best drug release profile.

This study found that a gelatin microparticle-containing self-microemulsifying formulation combined with Soluplus improved the oral absorption of dutasteride.

This study found that Procare and Proscar® finasteride tablets were bioequivalent according to Korea Food and Drug Administration guidelines in healthy male subjects.

This research investigated the formulation of minoxidil emulgel using various gelling agents for treating male pattern baldness. It found that this formulation was feasible, with no interactions between the drug and polymers, suggesting potential advantages over other dosage forms.

This study optimized and validated a dissolution test method for immediate-release finasteride capsules, highlighting the need for an official standard due to variability in commercial products.

This study reported that extended-release valproate significantly reduced seizure frequency and improved quality of life in epilepsy patients over six months, despite some adverse effects like weight gain and tremor.

This study found that the nanostructured lipid carrier formulation with a 70:30 solid to liquid lipid ratio significantly increased the dissolution rate, entrapment efficiency, and stability of spironolactone compared to its raw form.

In this study on mouse preputial glands, suppressing ATG7-dependent autophagy delayed age-related changes, affected lipid metabolism, and reduced pheromone production, highlighting autophagy's roles in glandular homeostasis and cell breakdown.

Finasteride's polymorphic form affects capsule quality and drug effect, requiring strict control.

This study developed finasteride-containing granules using a method that improved follicular targeting for androgenic alopecia and reported potential for easy industrial production.
