The purpose of this study was to develop novel liquid crystalline nanoparticles (LCNPs) that display improved pre-ocular residence time and ocular bioavailability and that can be used as an ophthalmic delivery system for tetrandrine (TET). The delivery system consisted of three primary components, including glyceryl monoolein, poloxamer 407, and water, and two secondary components, including Ge...

The purpose of writing this review on Hollow microspheres is to compile the recent literature with special focus on the principal mechanism of floatation to achieve gastric retention. Hollow microsphere promises to be a potential approach for gastric retention. The recent developments of FDDS including approaches to design single-unit and multiple-unit floating systems, mechanism of floating mi...
