Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor, Ibrutinib (IBR), belongs to class II of the Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS). CYP3A4 enzyme forces IBR to have a very limited oral bioavailability. This study employed hot-melt extrusion (HME) with carboxylic and carboxamide coformers, guided by computational screening, to prepare and characterize IBR cocrystals (IBR-CC).

Though clinically effective, DSB has some pharmacokinetic drawbacks evidenced by rapid systemic clearance, low oral bioavailability, and poor aqueous solubility requiring high doses for therapeutic action. Novel formulation strategies like solid dispersions, liposomal formulations, and PEGylated and hybrid nanoparticles enhance DSB's pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles by enhancing drug solubility, stability, and controlled release.

Ibrutinib (IBR) is a biopharmaceutical classification system (BCS) class II drug and an irreversible Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor. IBR has an extremely low oral bioavailability due to the activity of the CYP3A4 enzyme. The current intention of the research was to enhance solubility followed by oral bioavailability of IBR using the hot melt extrusion (HME) technique by formulating drug-drug cocrystals (DDCs).

Surface modification of PLHNs aids in improved targeting and active delivery of the encapsulated drug. Therefore, surface modification of the PLHNs with the cell-penetrating peptide is explored by many researchers and is explained in this review.
