Article Abstract
The poor aqueous solubility of many active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) dominates much of the early drug development portfolio and poses a major challenge in pharmaceutical development. Polymer-based amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) are becoming increasingly common and offer a promising formulation strategy to tackle the solubility and oral absorption issues of these APIs. This review discusses the design, manufacture, and utilisation of ASD formulations in preclinical drug development, with a key focus on the pre-formulation assessments and workflows employed at AstraZeneca.

Oxidized high-density lipoprotein associates with cardiometabolic dysfunction in coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndrome.
J Intern Med
September 2025
Department of Cellular and Translational Physiology, Institute of Physiology, Ruhr University Bochum, Bochum, Germany.
Background: High-density lipoprotein (HDL) function, rather than its concentration, plays a crucial role in the development of coronary artery disease (CAD). Diminished HDL antioxidant properties, indicated by elevated oxidized HDL (nHDL) and diminished paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) activity, may contribute to vascular dysfunction and inflammation. Data on these associations in CAD patients, including acute coronary syndrome (ACS), remain limited.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the potential risk of Bullous pemphigoid (BP) associated with antidiabetic agents, antimicrobials, diuretics, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and biological agents.
Research Design And Methods: A retrospective pharmacovigilance data analysis was conducted using the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) between Q1/2004 and Q3/2024. Disproportionality analyses, viz.
Acute Pancreatitis Associated with Tacrolimus in A Lung Transplant Recipient: A Case Report and Review of Literature.
Eur J Case Rep Intern Med

Intensive care unit, Clinical Hospital Sveti Duh, Zagreb, Croatia.
Background: Tacrolimus is a commonly used immunosuppressant with well-defined side effects, including hypertriglyceridemia and hyperglycaemia. However, acute pancreatitis is still not widely recognized as an adverse event related to tacrolimus.
Case Presentation: A 60-year-old male was admitted to the intensive care unit with symptoms and signs of acute pancreatitis.
Species-specific gene expression manipulation in humanized livers of chimeric mice via siRNA-encapsulated lipid nanoparticle treatment.

Liver-humanized chimeric mice (PXB-mice) are widely utilized for predicting human pharmacokinetics (PK) and as human disease models. However, residual metabolic activity of mouse hepatocytes in chimeric mice can interfere with accurate human PK estimation. Lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-formulated small interfering RNA (siRNA) treatment makes it possible to eliminate the shortcomings of chimeras and create new models.

Neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, spinal cord injuries, and traumatic brain injuries, represent substantial global health challenges due to their chronic and often progressive nature. While allopathic medicine offers a range of pharmacological interventions aimed at managing symptoms and mitigating disease progression, it is accompanied by limitations, including adverse side effects, the development of drug resistance, and incomplete efficacy. In parallel, phytochemicals-bioactive compounds derived from plants-are receiving increased attention for their potential neuroprotective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties.
