We describe the production and characterization of nanoparticles and microparticles composed of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) using vitamin E-TPGS as an emulsifier. By varying formulation parameters such as the concentration of emulsifier, it is possible to produce nanoparticles with mean diameters ranging from 220 nm to 1.98 µm.

Vitamins, derived from the Latin word for life, are essential organic substances required in small quantities for optimal growth and overall well-being. Unlike other organic nutrients, vitamins don't act as sources of energy or building materials but rather facilitate these nutrients' utilization by the body. Vitamins are predominantly coenzymes, assisting enzymes in specific chemical actions, like the oxidation of glucose for energy involving B vitamins. Most vitamins are not produced in our...

Take a transgenic Drosophila.The brain of the Drosophila expresses the human amyloid peptide protein or APP and a cleaving enzyme.The enzyme cleaves APP, enabling the formation of beta-amyloid plaque, which leads toAlzheimer's disease or AD pathology in Drosophila.Feed the Drosophila AD model a diet containing a synbiotic formulation.The formulation contains a combination of three bioactive probiotic bacteria and a prebiotic.Inside the fly's gut, the prebiotic supports the growth and survival...
FAQs
Solubility helps determine which dosage form can deliver a vitamin in a usable way. A vitamin may be developed as a tablet, capsule, liquid, or powder depending on how its solubility interacts with the formulation design. Considering this property during development supports consistent dosing and can influence how effectively the product delivers its intended vitamin content.
Chemical stability helps a product retain its intended vitamin content during its shelf life, while compatibility ensures that the selected vitamin and excipients can function together as designed. If these factors are overlooked, the formulation may not remain consistent or perform as intended. Evaluating them supports reliable products with appropriate storage durability and dosing accuracy.
The dosage form can influence both how a vitamin is used by the body and how easily patients take the product. Tablets, capsules, liquids, and powders provide different ways to deliver the selected dose, so formulation decisions must account for absorption, dosing accuracy, and practical patient needs. These considerations can affect bioavailability and adherence.
Development begins by selecting the vitamin and determining the intended dose and dosage form. Formulators then choose suitable excipients while considering solubility, chemical stability, absorption, and compatibility among ingredients. The resulting product undergoes quality testing to evaluate whether it maintains consistent vitamin content, remains stable, and performs as intended throughout its usable life.
Quality testing helps determine whether a product provides consistent vitamin content and performs as intended. It can support evaluation of stability, dosing accuracy, and the formulation's ability to remain suitable over its shelf life. These checks are important because a product may be designed correctly yet still require evidence that its composition and performance remain reliable.
The choice among tablets, capsules, liquids, and powders depends on the formulation requirements and the needs of the intended users. Developers consider solubility, absorption, dosing accuracy, stability, and patient adherence when selecting a form. In medicine, this approach helps adapt vitamin products for reliable use across different patient needs, including deficiency prevention or treatment.
